I am still on the fence about it....

I did NOT say "main", I said "stronger". Water vapor is not the strongest greenhouse gas, which is why I did not say this. Methane, per molecule, might be considered a stronger greenhouse gas. And, there are other greenhouse gasses which persist a long time in the atmosphere and have far more potential to cause global warming. It's always best to not just parrot some statement read on the internet without first understanding the CONTEXT.

If fact, Columbia should be much higher on a more objective list. Each of these "lists" uses different criteria, and they are biased. And, many relay on students' reporting, or on number of research papers published. Therefore, for example, if one criterion is numbers of paper published, there is no mention of what journals have published the papers. In the case of some universities around here, the grad students seem to publish their articles/papers in lesser known GARBAGE publications, like Boy's Life, or something, IDK....

Take a BETTER Look, FELLA.... The huge print you object to is just an image posted from the title of a research paper. This is an IMAGE and there is no way to adjust the font pitch. You DO know what the pitch of a font is, right? Anyway, as I say, since this is an IMAGE, the size and type of fonts cannot be adjusted. Capisce?

We need some easier way to automate italicization. Anyway, being a genius, I like to use BIG WORDS, you know. Just adjust your entire screen smaller, or hold it farther away from your face, and you will be fine. No worries, Buddy.

Here is your list: I would choose a school only from the top 20 (U. Singapore might be OK. But, I think Hong Kong University once was better, before the Commies came marching in.) https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2024/world-ranking

NOBODY here is talking about LOCAL Climate change. Where have you been during the past 40 or 50 years? We are destabilizing what has, for over 10,000 years, been a stable climate system. Instabilities such as this can easily lead to famine when crops lose productivity at temperatures only slightly warmer than they are now. We are already losing productivity due to rising mean temperatures....

Wow. A DIY cremation! I will have to keep this in mind as a lower-cost final solution.

I just hope that everybody here is paying attention to: INCREASING Water Vapor levels in the atmosphere due to Global Warming. Water vapor is one of the stronger greenhouse gasses. Therefore, it, by itself, might be thought of as a positive feedback loop. The hotter the temperature, the more water vapor in the atmosphere, and the more water vapor, the hotter the atmosphere will become due to water vapor being a greenhouse gas. Then, of course, higher Relative Humidity leads to heat stress when it becomes less easy to evaporate sweat from skin, causing overheating of the body. Obviously, society must do more to adjust to a world of 2 degrees C above 1850 baseline. When will we hit 2 degrees C? Well, the rate of change, the intensity, is increasing. Let's all choose the most dire scenario, the worst-case model, and then we can see that it might be just one decade before we hit 2 degrees C, when we all agreed to 1.5 degrees C. We need to insulate our houses. And, we need to plant trees like crazy. And, we need to remove inefficient buildings. Doing this, we can reduce the heat-island effect. And, we might be able to live in a world of 2 degrees above, for a short period of time, until.... We hit 2.5 degrees above, and then... We reach 3.0 degrees above, and so on. Soon, fairly soon, where we live will no longer be inhabitable. (It's not IF, but WHEN.)

Really? Because, there are so many of them, that it is difficult to decide on the worst, or even the worst of the worst. What disturbs me is this strange phrase: worst of the worst. This never sounds logical. If one is the worst, then there is only one. And that one is the worst. However, it might seem more logical to have "the worst of the worse", simply because you might have many of something that was worse than something else. You might think of having 10 balls. Ball A is bad. Ball B, C, D, are worse than ball A. And then you have another Blue Ball E which is the worst, ie, THE worst, one. And so then, you would have a group of four Blue Balls, B, C, D, E, that were all worse than ball A. Therefore, you could logically state that Ball E was the worst of the balls in the worse group: ie the WORST of the WORSE. But, you could not logically say that Ball E was the worst of the worst, because Balls B, C, D, E are not the worst balls. And so, logically speaking.... E is the worse of the worse. E is also the worst of the worse. BUT, you cannot logically state that Ball E is the worst of the worst! It is incongruencies such as this which make our lives less than worth living. But, what do you say, anyway? Worst of the worst? Even if it might not be logically pleasing? And what is the worst of the worse?: Have a Good One!

Well, I am perfectly OK with facetiousness, satire, irony, and parody, and understatement, etc. I just worry that others here might get the wrong idea. Note: Concerning the term 'Orientals", I think this is now frowned upon. As is Orientalism, too. But, I am OK with it, of course.

Springer always maintained a Touch of Class, and would never have sunk so low. LOOK a this guys FEET! Who in Thailand would ever invite someone with feet like this... Into their home? No doubt, his GF was just asking him.... "Did you wash your feet this month?" And then, for no reason, he might have walloped her. Hillbillies are big on WALLOPING....

Or, famous in the school Lunch Line, maybe....

Not so weird if he comes from the Appalachian region and Ozarks.... Look at his FEET. Has he been walking in the swamp for weeks? Looks like a Hatfield, or even... A McCoy. The Family Album!

There has been, for decades, many new and impressive designs coming out of Shanghai. https://www.officelovin.com/2024/01/a-look-inside-ccds-new-shanghai-office/ Also: NOT horizontal table. You misread, possibly. It is Horizon Table....

Good for target practice at the range. Low recoil, etc.

Many years ago, we tried legislation to ban home made guns, Saturday Night Specials, etc. They are not for collectors or hunters, or protection by homeowners, etc.... https://www.researchgate.net/figure/HOMEMADE-GUNS-GJ-ORDOG-ET-AL-JOURNAL-OF-TRAUMA-Saturday-Night-Specials-and-a-self_fig5_19563041 (Which reminds me: I have to make an emergency appointment with my dentist. I have a fractured tooth, etc.)

From this Famous Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, it is possible to see that... a. Not only is the recent generation FAR more interested in achieving FAME, but.... b. Breast size has been increasing, too, since the 1970s. c. I just wonder if, some day, breast size will finally get... Out of hand....... Cool World....

You do realize that a Home Made Gun is often referred to as a Saturday Night Special... Right? (Think Zip Gun)

Soul Train is DEFINITELY a WHITES Show. Just get stoned in the afternoons, and watch, and then you will understand. I and my buddies just LOVED Soul Train, back in the day.... Please refer to the following: a. Get Down, Get Down bb. Keep on Keepin't On Soul Train had us rolling in the aisles, at the time. Now, I realize that the music was great. It was only the dancing on the dancefloor, and what they were wearing at the time, that seemed a little ODD then. c. Could you have been a Soul Train dancer? They were so infamous that they finally became famous....

Yes. Good thinking! Saturday Night Special. Lynyrd Skynyrd knows best......

There IS NO .22LR rifle! There are just .22 caliber rifles and .22 caliber pistols and revolvers. In these guns, rifles and pistols and revolvers, one can choose to use the rimfire ammunition, as follows: .22 short .22 LR and a few others. Also, there is a .22 magnum (but, some rifles will not accept these, I think. When I was young, I found a few on the range, and they would not fit my rifle.) You can see what these look like...here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_caliber#:~:text=.22 Long Rifle Extra Long,powerful than the .22 LR They are good for target practice. And, maybe good for rabbits, too. But, I would never buy these. I prefer the 0.460 Magnums, myself. ==== I have never seen a .22 centerfire, up close and personal, but I guess they must exist somewhere. Maybe NATO, or something?

I am really getting into this vid. This may be my all-time fav, this year. I just want to know how to find it on YouTube, or ... Who IS this woman? And, is she Famous? Or, is she a REAL Student? I have so many questions about this thing.
