Not entirely useless. "Assaulted with thing that could kill or maim under the circumstances at that time" is pretty relevant, even if it is super broad.

Spitting on someone Is assault. If I was on trial for spitting on someone I'd hate to get lumped together with the guy who caved someone's head in with a lead pipe.

Star Citizen is the game of tomorrow and it always will be.

Don't worry, Lemmy is just home to a disproportionate number of whack jobs.

Tack one more "A" on there and baby, you've got a stew going!

Bullshit.

I'm a parent. The first time my kid catches flak for not having a smart phone he's going to say exactly what we practiced, "my parents are crazy, they won't let me have one. It's so stupid, I hate them".

The other kids will find something else to pick on even if every kid has a phone. Period. Children are monsters. It's not worth letting your kid's brain rot and have them try to off themselves when they're a teenager because they never had a chance at being well adjusted just to avoid them getting bullied about phones in particular.

Conversely why do I need to pay to read the opinion section?

No, we shouldn't wait.

We will, but we shouldn't.

I'm actively trying to find a non-Reddit content aggregator, then I'm getting the hell away from this freak show.

So the cost aspect is absolutely massive. You can theoretically filter elemental gold out of sea water, but it's not reasonable to do that to supply gold for use in electronics. Similarly you can purify helium as much as you want but at a certain point the cost makes whatever you were doing with it prohibitively expensive.

Right now we're still pulling helium out of the ground alongside natural gas deposits. We're also not doing everything we can to recover, recycle, or substitute the industrial and scientific grade stuff either.

As less helium gets extracted the cost will go up. This will put market pressure on all users to use it more efficiently or find substitutes wherever possible. If the price goes high enough it might also drive producers to purify helium that might have been sold at a lower grade in the past.

This find in Minnesota pushes that future scenario down the road a bit, which can either extend the status quo or buy time for technological improvements to be made that will make use and extraction more efficient.

Buddy, the second I find a better content aggregator that isn't Reddit I'm out.

Jesus Christ not this guy again....
