The danger in overtightening is that you ruin the seal. So maybe not quite as bad as loose, but an oil leak is still a problem. Much like anything with a crush washer, you want to get it snug, then tighten enough to squish it, but not so much that you ruin the very thing that keeps it intact.

Speaker of the House might have more power for her.

Is this loss?

I'm just pointing out they are two parts of the same thing, and both have been used in actual science research for close to a century now. More correct reporting tends to describe it as man-made climate change, caused by global warming. They go hand in hand. I get what your point is, but that same point has also been used by deniers to say that everything's fine because climate change is normal. This one is not.

It's both terms. There never was a name switching, that's a conspiracy made up by climate deniers to create a feeling of question. Global warming is the cause, climate change is what is occurring. And one of the first papers that warned of this occurrence actually used the the term "climatic change". If you feel climate change isn't a strong enough phrase, then separate it from the natural version by calling this period "abrupt climate change", because it's the rate of change that is the real problem, as nothing can adapt well to the sudden shift, maybe even not us.

That number is the global average, meaning there will be spots on the planet that see more change, and some that haven't seem much. While going strictly from memory isn't the most accurate way to be sure, don't doubt your gut feelings. Things have been changing.

Correction: It's not immoral or unjust. Apparently though in the US it is now illegal. Bad laws can be made. I do have to question whether the DoJ can go after people without said law in place...I mean they seemingly are about to, but congressional bodies make the federal and state laws, so what law is being broken?

I'm surprised The Terminal didn't get anything. Maybe a busy year? I thought it was great.

There's CO2.Earth, based in Canada, but some of their sources might be affected. The link from Mauna Loa Observatory through NOAA wouldn't load for me just now (could be just coincidence if if does later).

That's actually something I have no problem with, other than the hypocrisy of making a big deal about having the bible be there but not using it. Other Presidents have used other things, or nothing when taking the oath. And so far it seems they all have done a better job than Trump. Can we get another asterisk or other mark to put beside his name in the history books? Boy, he's got more than anyone.

At least we'll have some time before the whole liberty dying with applause...oh shit, we're doing a speed run!

Alternative facts try to spin the truth. I made an error. The intent of the original post still stands, the title is both old and the usual exaggerated, as most stock news is. The current headlines are using the word "recover", as if to highlight that things went terribly south. It's all a damn game.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
