Wikipedia suggests hundreds of deaths in various regions around the world - more common in the past, which suggests, I think, more wolves = more deaths.
Yeah, me too. Java always seemed to consider design a lot more than C# which seems to have taken more of a kitchen sink approach to language design. That stuff piles up over time (see c++)
The guy who is on track for causing 9 million deaths? That guy is your example of someone who made the world a better place? The guy who supports far right groups, white supremacists, throws nazi salutes, pushes an AI that makes child porn and turned Twitter into a right wing nazi loving cess pool?

We've had deaths due to climate related storms in NZ now, and we haven't been hit anywhere near as hard as, say, Pakistan who had 1/3 of their country flooded in one go. And it's getting worse. That may not be human extinction but its definitely plausible that mass casualty events are possible
This is exactly me. Been switched for 6 months. Loving it. I find I'm enjoying my computer so much more now that I feel it belongs to me rather than being an advertising surface for MS and their partners
Even US Intelligence didn't believe they were close to getting a nuke. And given that they were in negotiations about controlling their nuclear program before the US attacked, it's hard to credit US foreign policy on this front
I think that's the point about the lake Onslow project - its MASSIVE. So yes, expensive, but months of backup for the whole country would not be cheap even with batteries
