It's a problem that could have been solved twenty years ago if we started forty years ago, but now it's not likely to make a difference. this graph is still a hopium reactor. i think humanity has been given a little bit of a broken brain syndrome from success of like manhattan project that it's just a matter of throwing money at it = solution. it even applies towards climate change where loads of people think "well if things get bad we can just manhattan project it out of existence!" now money certainly it helps, for example, if we had built everything to nuclear in 1960s and iterated on better facilities to re-use various byproducts over and over, things would be less bad (but make no mistake, still bad and depleting biosphere for multitude other reasons and being unsustainable). all that would have taken is money. but there's still massive resource consumption to build plants. thus far there's been so many unassailable problems with fusion that we'd literally have to invent magic vibranium marvel materals. neutron flux and he-embrittlement already annihlates all known materials at small-scale, let alone big scale needed to run that poo poo 24/7 at 1000c for years at a time. and also energy accounting with fusion has been borderline fraud. iter is very cool though and i support cool things just like widening freeways doesn't solve traffic, more energy wasn't going to solve consumption, just more consumption. basically this: Trabisnikof posted:plus who cares? Fission does everything fusion does except get fusion researchers grants Trabisnikof posted:Fusion is meaningless from a climate change perspective, might as well be talking about solar mirrors in space or dropping ice filled asteroids.

I know we're all done talking about the movie but on these things, I like to hear all the chatter get the spoilers and then watch stuff. I feel like lead up hype is all bad and want the cook it all down, take a deep breath, clear my mind and then watch It was all what everyone here said. I'm fully pinged and have been for a while, but the scene when they are cooking the family dinner, idk why they chose to put in Bernadette by the Four Tops. It's not very fitting but it's a song that is extremely deeply emotionally important for me and has been my favorite song for 30 years. Sure it was the penultimate montage to the crescendo of the movie, but because it was that song I cried. And I didn't stop crying till the credits. And I feel privileged to be able to write that. We really did have everything.

need some eastern canuckadian experts to weigh in some theories is BMAA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Methylamino-L-alanine spread via lobster/crab. probably not a prion since those are slower in actual unrelated news, rates of dementia and alzheimers have like doubled in the last 20 years. and no it's not "better diagnosing" as the libs love to say Xaris has issued a correction as of 06:22 on Jan 3, 2022 |

In October, officials suggested that the eight fatal cases were the result of misdiagnosis, arguing that instead of suffering from a shared neurological illness, the victims had died of known and unrelated pathologies.

Turns out extinction is a neurological issue. It's why all the beliefs in some rapid collapse are so hollow. We're going out like a dementia patient. We're just now in the early stages where we realize what we've lost.

maybe a little too much guardian and not even sure where this is appropriate but planetary death seems appropriate enough: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jan/02/attention-span-focus-screens-apps-smartphones-social-media although i would disagree that it's not a medical epidemic, it's seems both likely a medical epidemic (in the environment, and resulting foods-from-environment we eat) and a societal epidemic Xaris has issued a correction as of 08:01 on Jan 3, 2022 |

Growing mushrooms is great. If you have the ability to set up a camera to record their growth over like a day or so, I'd recommend it because it's incredible to watch.
