The alternative is architecture designed to keep a building cool.

So you are looking for something atypical but found only where typical things are found?

Define “popular”. None of the topics I mentioned came from traditional academic works.

No.

Some media criticism I’ve seen has been as much a critique of the audience as it is of the text. Why do some conservatives like Star Trek? How can the Matrix be used both as a trans allegory and adopted by anti-trans alt-right people?

Other media criticism keeps the author alive, but looks into what made the author and how did media change because of it. How did the death of big budget music videos affect cinema? How does a career built on click bait YouTube videos affect how the author creates larger work?

It feels like you can have larger and more meta analysis because the audience is there for more meta analysis.

Only in that having a certain threshold is used to determine if an account is a bot or not.

That’s why the Supreme Court case is about excessive fines and not the legality of the stop.

Most of the bans are in Native Alaskan communities who don’t have the resources to deal with alcohol, so they ban it instead. The ability to ban is codified in state law, so the state assists with enforcing the ban. It is the reason why an Alaskan State Police officer conducted the search.

It wouldn’t be just that island. A significant part of Alaska has a ban on alcohol.

It has been trending that way for a while, but COVID really did a number on people randomly interacting with others and creating small talk.

Do you think this will create a longer lasting political movement?

Tom Sellek takes your home.

The guest usually has a lot of discretion over the monologue if they want it, but the sketches are written by SNL writers.

Latitude was somewhat easy to determine since antiquity and the equipment to find it was common on most ships as was current speed in the ocean. Most cargo ships sailing out of sight of shore would try to aim laterally for the city in question then sail near the coast to get to where they needed to go.

Longitude took until the late 18th century to find as it required an accurate clock set to a known meridian. Before then, it was a guess based on approximate recorded speed.

Columbus was an idiot who miscalculated the circumference of the Earth, but crews at the time commonly sailed out of sight of shore.

It kind of depends on how it is received. Taylor Swift wrote her own monologue song and it went over very well with SNL writers per an interview with Seth Meyers.

Yeah. The guy who made the Golden Trump statue made sure he got paid and even had to withhold shipment of the statue because the patrons were trying to skimp out on paying him.

Windows isn’t trying to do what Linux does.

On the server end, Linux beat every competitor out there, including Windows Server, because it was free and development occurred along the lines of educated users making improvements. So, at first Linux was worse to use, but it was cheaper. Then, Linux was about as easy/stable as paid for versions, but it was cheaper. When it became easier to use to educated users and more stable and cheaper, all paid server OS’s died.

That said, I bring up educated users because Linux is only a kernel and Windows by itself does more than Linux does by itself. On the consumer end, no one has been able to threaten Windows without a DRM’d app store. Consumers won’t do bug fixes at the scale that enterprise users will. Consumers generally need more developed on the UI side to make the OS functional while you can run Linux in terminal mode. Most of Windows’ development went into this, making Windows easy/desirable for consumers. In contrast, most Linux development time went to making Linux more easy/desirable for enterprise users/servers.

This is really the first year that Linux for consumers is viable and a lot of that work packaging Linux for consumers came from Valve putting the various pieces of open source software together and sanding down the rough edges. In contrast, Microsoft has been doing that for a generation.

So what makes it try to focus on the near smudge in the glass window instead of the larger scene outside?

Yes, because the camera focuses on the smudge.

Yes, because the camera focuses on the smudge.

The cost of supplying food is going to push colony owners to make the colonies self sufficient with food.

We have Arctic and Polynesian parts of the world imported food prices are already insanely expensive. When you Antarctica like research bases, the food cost gets borne by government entities because the cost is even higher due to shipping. Now, add a zero or two to the shipping cost to get food to the Moon.

So, once a Moon base gets to the size of a McMurdo station, someone is likely going to figure it will be cheaper to build the ability to grow food on the Moon rather than ship everything from Earth.

It doesn’t even have to be a complete meal at first. The Moon could start with basic starches like potatoes and rice to supplement dehydrated meat and vegetables. Over time, more crops get added and some protein like shrimp and chicken are able to be grown on the Moon. You might not get a steak, but it could be enough to make some colonies mostly self sufficient.
