by injecting the steel chamber with vapors that represent specific environments. (It’s called the CLOUD chamber, for Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets.)

It's a chamber they use to make clouds. Couldn't they just call it the Cloud Chamber, without resorting to the most awkward, contrived acronym I've ever seen?

I dunno about suing them. Lots of things are easy to steal. If there were a Tik Tok trend of stealing garbage cans, I might make an effort to secure the ones I have, but I wouldn't sue the garbage can manufacturer for not addressing the possibility of theft if mine were stolen. These cars do have some theft protection, at least to the extent that you can't accidentally steal them. Car owners should probably do what they can to deter theft, Tik Tok & YouTube should dissuade users from encouraging kids to steal, parents should be more responsible, and (not that it would necessarily help) all cops should stop being bastards

An increase in the number of solar cells in an area can be useful, but shade cover from trees would have a greater cooling effect on most areas. Trees both shade and provide transpiration cooling. The water evaporating from leaves cools the surrounding air as the water goes from a liquid to gas phase.

Hmmm, your chosen instance interests me

So true. I love the app, but subtle lateral motion while scrolling through the comments kicks me back into the post listing very frequently. The app seems to react more sensitively to small, subtle lateral motion in a vertical scroll than it does to obvious, intentional lateral motion. For this reason, I'd prefer lateral swiping to be something that could be turned off. Using the back button works fine, no scroll left/right required

This is the #1 issue for me with this app

At least here, in Illinois, we periodically arrest our politicians, to keep things fresh
