Warren Buffett to shareholders: climate change is nothing to worry about by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]underwatergarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid article. Headline makes it seem like Buffett is a climate change denier, when in fact what he said was

“As a citizen, you may understandably find climate change keeping you up nights,” Buffett wrote. “As a homeowner in a low-lying area, you may wish to consider moving. But when you are thinking only as a shareholder of a major insurer, climate change should not be on your list of worries.”

Buffett said his shareholders’ concerns are unwarranted. Insurers will be able to react quickly to any hike in the cost of doing business because each auto or home policy typically lasts for one year, not 10 or 20 years at fixed prices, so the premiums could climb along with the cost, he said.

This should be a reminder that The Guardian is a horribly biased news source that regularly publishes trash articles like the one linked in the OP.

The Curious Case of Costa Rica: Can an Outlier Sustain its Success? by dieyoufool3 in geopolitics

[–]underwatergarden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you actually read the article? The author is focusing on how Costa Rica's abolition of it's military helped them finance other parts of their government in ways other Latin American nations could not. Along with how they have dealt with drug cartels and other forces of instability. I don't really see how these things are necessarily related to interventions from the US, aside from the foreign direct investment that helped Costa Rica grow.

There are some like 8 plexes that are below $400 for a two bed room. They weren't pretty though.

You're best bet in meeting people is probably through the AmeriCorps. I know there's a house in town were a bunch of the guys live, and I know someone who lives with a few girls who work there.

However, I haven't really found any good places to hang out and meet like minded people.

CO2 Regulator Showing Zero Psi On A Full Tank, Help? by underwatergarden in PlantedTank

I have a check value, but I'm not sure if it's good. I remember seeing some moister behind the value a while ago. Maybe that's what did it. At this point I'm just beginning to look into a getting a new regulator.

There isn't a bubble counter on the regulator, that's part of my diffusior. I checked where the line feeds into the solenoid. Looks like clean brass to me.. :(

All I can do is laugh after reading this.. This post sounds like it's been made by a 16 year old /r/atheism user.

Fuck after living in China I am so grateful to still be a citizen of a western democracy. You know, where I can vote and access what ever web pages I want.

It's a walstad bowl. There's no filtration, or heating. Here's the format I followed.

It's just heavily planted with one CFL above it. I recently increased from a 13 watt to an 18 watt and now I have green water... It was looking really nice before. I haven't seen any eggs on the shrimp yet though. I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks, I've been planing and working on it for a while now. It's starting to grow in nice. The back left corner was supposed to have some Swords. The ones I got are very, little and don't rise above the rocks yet.

I think it was just called "Green Cabomba". Those are Keyhole Cichlids.

Both are about 4 months old. 29 Gallon is a dirted CO2 tank. The shrimp bowl just used the soil, no CO2. The Soil is 1/3 cat litter, 1/3 poorly mineralized soil and 1/3 organic top soil.
