Well, you can have a funnel cloud, but it's not a tornado until the condensation funnel touches the ground, and it's not always clear what the case is until proper surveying is done.

As a rough rule of thumb, if it's running locally on a CPU with acceptable performance, the environmental impact is going to be minimal, or at least within socially acceptable bounds.

Mike Dunford, Cola's lawyer, is fantastic. He has a Twitch channel (questauthority) if you want to hear more from him.

Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven't bought a game from a major publisher since... uhh... well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?

As a former 4-Her myself, the 4-H extension office in our region is run by a state university, but the clubs themselves are community-organized. Also, many clubs in our area were general, so you could do any topic covered by the extension office and be a part of the club.

Bricklink is a site for individuals/small business to buy and sell primarily individual Lego pieces, so it's important for shipping calculations to have reasonably accurate weights of all the pieces. Their weights are therefore contributed by those sellers. Although now that LEGO Group owns Bricklink, you'd think they could just slide them the numbers.

The part pictured here seems to be 3069px7 with the base color incorrectly set to white. In any case, it's 3069, the standard 1x2 tile. Thanks to the folks at LDraw who have modeled every Lego brick in detail (because of course people have done that), we get a volume of 303.8mm³, with a bounding box size of 409.6mm³, for a density of about 74%. But, Bricklink can just directly tell us the mass of a 1x2 tile is 0.26g, so the total mass is 10.5 metric tons.

Modern drugs cost tens of millions of dollars to develop at a minimum, and can easily reach into the billions.

Let me rephrase that: "Coinbase and Bloom Tech illustrate the dangers of ~~starting a startup~~ lying in a regulated industry."

Coinbase hasn't exactly lied, to my knowledge, grouping them with his stupid startup is pretty disingenuous, but he started it.
