Hey man, I can't be the person to fully educate you on this but 2.7 degrees of average increase does not translate to a slightly warmer summer day. The language used makes it very misleadingly sound like no big deal, but it is a BIG deal. Without trying to be cliche, there is an XKCD for this and here it is: https://xkcd.com/1732/
A short way to get the point across is that when the earth's average temperature was 4°C lower than it was in 1990, that was an ice age. "Boston is buried under almost a mile of ice".
Imagine such a dramatic climate change in the other direction, 5°C hotter than 1990.

Can you really describe kids or parents with any kind of meaning using a binary "good" and "bad"? Aren't most people great in situations that suit them and allow them to thrive and use their skills and talents, and bad in situations where they don't have the tools to be successful?

They might have mispelled "bylaw" which is a municipal ordinance with legally binding power, but only on a local level.

Plus, you're not getting a decent tip from them no matter how hard you try.

Do you prefer living in the cold?

It's even stranger when you realize that probably only 20% of trips in New York are conducted by car, and yet they are by far the largest physical presence everywhere you go. Actually quite obnoxious.

No, I’m still holding out with my original iPhone se. Seriously, how does faceId even work with a mask on?

Hackernews is down on Facebook for lots of good reasons. But outside of this bubble, working for a big name like Facebook or Meta will impress basically every future employer and open hundreds of doors for you. Yes, do it. The great thing about internships is that you don't have to stay after it's over, if the company's ethics make you feel gross. You can get firsthand knowledge instead of relying on the peanut gallery around here.
I write at http://rocketships.ca. My blog has no focus but I've written tutorials about motorcycles and cars, stories from travels in Nicaragua, Denmark and Spain, and progress reports on my side business importing Danish modern furniture.
