“That isn’t happening”

While that position held, Marx now acknowledged that the standard of living of the wage earners advances with every progressive stride the bourgeoisie take. The matter, then, was more relative than absolute. Marx had now fully grown up.

Set your client to download pieces sequentially. VLC will play it while it downloads in the background. Probably other players too.

Well yes but that’s the whole point. If there’s no one local it’ll be downloading from a CDN regardless.

Steam can do that now but first gotta enable it for friends. Works great for multiple computers on a slower internet connection. One downloads it then shares to the rest.

So, what did February look like in the pre-industrial period of 1850-1900?

We do have weather data back to the 1870s in the U.S. and can look at Minneapolis to compare:

Check out the cold outlier months of Feb 1875 and Feb 1936 w/average high temperature below 8°F

Feb 1877 and 1878: 41°F and 40°F Feb 2024: 43°F

Taking into account 150-years of global warming of about 2°F, we can see 2024 and 1877 and 1878 are equivalent.

What was happening in 1877 and 1878? A very strong El Niño, just like this recent February.

Also, 1882 was very war, also over 40°F.

In other words, the ongoing global weather patterns and warmth are exactly what a climate scientist who understands variability would expect. It is easily explainable.
