I felt like the constant recursive circling back on matters was extremely cathartic, as someone whose been beating the drum for so long. It was like a 1.5 hour "gently caress you, you're an idiot" to the handful still posting in the D&D thread and the millions out there like them, rather than an attempt to seriously educate anyone who isn't aware of how hosed we are.

Dolphin posted:A downed primary will light you on fire from the inside and you'll be dead before you realize you're in danger. A secondary will boil you. Do not gently caress with power lines. also op is doing way more work than necessary just take a male-to-male power cord (like the one you use for your generator) and plug both ends into the same electrical socket boom unlimited energy without having to mess with power lines

Norton posted:GET TO THE POINT is the exact sentiment i feel. i'm still trying to get through the video a few minutes at a time during work and its not easy. he is constantly responding to imagined criticisms instead of just laying out his point concisely. I think the video is intended for people who are at a different stage of their climate journey than where you are right now. While it certainly could be shorter, I'm at a point where lingering over some of these points is really nice. It is affirming because it is all things I know are true, but you know what? I've never heard any of it said out loud before. I'm not sure that there's anything better to do, here at the end of the world.

Unless posted:cables snapped? cut the power down the line (like to your house) at the breaker, use a jumper cable to grip both sides of copper of the snapped cable. the spring teeth hold on to the cable well, and the gauge is thick enough to carry hundreds of amps

RE: Tree chat. We could build things with them instead of burning/burying them, but for economic reasons that's never happening. Also agree that we couldn't grow enough fast enough to make much of a difference even if we put in the effort.

Buffer posted:LMAO, there's literally no where on earth under any scenario *more* hostile than space / mars. Most of the people at SX just didn't engage with this - they reduce it to like a 17th century ocean voyage or something. we haven’t successfully colonized earth how tf are they gonna do Mars? even the Arctic, Antarctica, or under the ocean would be Mars with training wheels and they really haven’t done that.

nomad2020 posted:RE: Tree chat. We could build things with them instead of burning/burying them, but for economic reasons that's never happening. The BC government briefly put a lot of money in the 2010's into promoting R&D of timber glue-laminate structural beams, which have remarkable benefits over steel & concrete, as an attempt to pivot out of just selling raw logs to China. They never really caught on and then the NDP was elected and went all-in on selling raw logs overseas to support the couple hundred loggers still employed in that industry.

I'd like to cheer up the thread with my gardening anecdotes from the midwest. This year I planted several cover crop plots, which were a mix of dozens of plants to make a sort of super forage garden / three sisters method on crack for soil building. I saw so many DIFFERENT pollinators - bees, butterflies, and beetles this year compared to any other. And below that were many other critters and numerous grasshoppers, especially in the other areas where I had planted high grasses like winter rye. Normally I don't see so many. Really the diversity is striking. The fall cold snap hasn't arrived yet, and still I see hundreds of honey bees buzzing around on the remaining flowers. And numerous monarch butterflies. Have some pics:     little album https://imgur.com/a/aP6YqRi

BIG HEADLINE posted:A bit more bittersweet now that we've learned planting trees isn't enough. Even if we had some magic wand to grow/mature them more quickly, it's almost like the planet wanted certain/specific trees in certain/specific places for a reason and merely replacing them, even sometimes with the same species, doesn't/won't fix what's broken. That's because people just cut them down again. Planting trees would have to be a massive global and long term effort to show any results. Edit: Arguing if it would work or not is entirely academic and it doesn't matter which side is right. It's never going to happen in the first place so it doesn't even matter if it would work or not.

Though maybe in the next few years if some plans work out  But we have a lot of grass/lawn, and I've slowly been changing it into productive gardens or wild fields with cover crops and the change in wildlife has been stark. Except for the deer who came in and ate the tops off my carrots lmao.

fyi even the hypothetical chimney where we can exhaust poo poo outside of earth's atmosphere, it will still just fall straight back down. Gravity doesn't stop existing just because there's no atmosphere. The stuff "floating" around in orbit is actually in continual, frictionless freefall. One with a very specific vector and speed. All this to say you can't just snorkel it out of here

Once you take the Plasticpill you never go back https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/12/health/plastic-chemical-early-death-wellness/index.html quote:(CNN)Synthetic chemicals called phthalates, found in hundreds of consumer products such as food storage containers, shampoo, makeup, perfume and children's toys, may contribute to some 91,000 to 107,000 premature deaths a year among people ages 55 to 64 in the United States, a new study found. We are collectively poisoning ourselves to insane degrees because of mass addiction to fossil fuels.

And I didn't say a gigantic chimney, I said a gigantic HEPA filter with some magic way of developing filters that would then need to be ~spirited away~...~somehow~! It's complete nonsense and would take a level of technology we're very likely never going to reach past proving it's technically possible.
