Colonel Cancer posted:Being a self aware extinction event owns lol the riddle of history solved. Oxxidation posted:there's a certain line of discourse that goes on about how pre-capitalist societies weren't capable of this kind of devastation but when you mention the megafauna extinctions they just kind of tug their collars and cough into their fists yeah the tendency here is to try to flee to a past garden of eden, where noble savages didn't do this kinda thing. but the truth is we were always going to invent capitalism if we survived, and once you're doing capitalism you can't not be an extinction event - unless you manage to stop and do something else. the big difference is pre-capitalism we could only do local overshoot dieoffs. a lot of cool poo poo died in the pleistocene overkill, but it hardly threatened the continuation of life itself. now that we're doing a big boy grownup extinction event, we gonna kill everything.

Complications posted:Also, Florida now has an insurance crisis. I loving wish it was 30-50% rate increases - that's if your insurance plan still exists. when they say "gently caress this, nope, we're out, we don't cover florida anymore." the choices you're presented with are routinely 2x-3x the cost. there's a big scam that the courts allowed where you could force insurance to pay for a new roof despite not having any damage. so naturally there's a bunch of shoddy, badly redone roofs in florida that transferred billions of dollars into contractors (and lawyers! mostly lawyers.) hands. this means your house has an insurable life of 10 years. after 10 years you have to pay to replace your roof or you can't get insurance. guess how old the place i bought three years ago is?

Don't Don't you worry About the atmosphere Or any sudden pressure change 'Cause I know That it's starting To get warm in here And things are Starting to get strange And did you Did you see how All our friends were there And drinkin' roses from the can And how How I wish I I had talked to them And wished they Fit into the plan And we were tired of being mild We're so tired of being mild And we were tired I know we're gonna meet someday In the crumbled financial institutions of this land There will be tables and chairs There will be pony rides and dancing bears There'll even be a band 'Cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries No currencies at all We're gonna live on our wits We're gonna throw away survival kits Trade butterfly knives for adderall mawarannahr has issued a correction as of 00:22 on May 2, 2022 |

Rip Testes posted:Better than lowering the pipe, it seems they spent $1.5B on a backup plan to drain the lake? they have the deepest straw and as such when it's below the level of all other straws, all incoming water goes only to them. so yeah, as far as vegas is concerned they're fine because they get 100% of the water once nobody else can, and they only need like 5%. So barring blasting a new spillway below 850', they're good.

mawarannahr posted:they never knew when it was better so we’re the real victims here There's a great bit in The Once and Future World by JB MacKinnon about how each generation sees the world of its youth as the baseline so they're blind to the degradation that had already happened by the time they were born. Sort of like how 1.5C was the disaster zone but when we realized we're going way past that, it became 2.5C

Chamale posted:. My little brother got into Paleo hunting a few years back and would film these hunts where a bunch of guys would go into the woods and basically just run down a deer or elk. It still blows my mind that a reasonably in shape human, not even a super athlete, can start jogging after an elk and, if they have around 24 hours to spare and some fortitude, the elk will collapse before the human will. Humans are just wonderfully effective predators even without the whole industrial revolution or capitalism thing. That said, I wouldn't consider the modern native Americans ( or the Clovis people) particularly "careful" but they had reached an equilibrium with the bison, deer, and antelope that remained. Natural systems always seek equilibrium and we are steaming towards some new equilibrium now and boy howdy will it probably not involve a lot of species that exist today (and also probably far fewer humans). Too bad we are lifetimes from said equilibria and us and our children will know only chaos.

i'm acutely aware of the silicon shortage, as a designer and producer of electronics a huge part of my time has been designing around/substituting parts that don't exist anymore. i know of the old-electronics recycling industry in poor asian countries, but that's stripping things down for anything of value like pulling a few chips that have a market, melting the copper of the PCB and remaining chips en masse, selling any metal etc. but buying entire appliances to scavenge one or two chips?! that's a new one to me.

Harik posted:i'm acutely aware of the silicon shortage, as a designer and producer of electronics a huge part of my time has been designing around/substituting parts that don't exist anymore. Certain types of manufacturing can not easily get around requiring specific model numbers of parts very easily. It sounds like the appliance issue was related to their production output and they needed to turn other cheaper finished goods into components to complete their own. Like buying cheap $20 coffee pots for a specific kind of switch or controller to make a $2,000 oven. My issue is on the production side. It is more limited in scope since it isn't happening for bulk production units but I currently can not find any source of a very specific dual pole on/off switch used in a dozen motor controllers on a small to medium sized manufacturing line. I just have to buy new motor controllers ($250) instead of the switches ($0.80) because the motor controllers are the only existing source of those very specific switches. Sure I could just use different motor controllers or rig up a similar sized switch from a different supplier but not easily. It would involve potentially requalifying my entire production line and weeks or months of red tape. Was the switch used to control a conveyor belt? Well every machine and sensor on that length of conveyor depends on the digital percentage power value of that conveyor belt as listed in a half dozen recipes. Did I do my due diligence and prove somehow that a completely different component hasn't changed any related critical parameters like cook time/seal time? Change isn't quick or easy in manufacturing. I'm sure the company buying entire washers to strip for parts are in the middle of a change control process but that comes with testing the new configurations to verify their operation and qualify the new replacement parts as being both safe and the same at like-for-kind once like-for-like is now impossible.

I dont like many podcasts and they're one of the only tolerable types. No bull poo poo fake comedy. Just a topic starting with what ever hot button the media is hammering in and then usually an expert opinion interview to get some more perspectives. The same folks also do a cool rear end show called blowback and each season covers US war and hostilities. So season 1 is the iraq 1-2 war and season 2 is the USes obsession with startin poo poo with Cuba. There's a 3rd season coming with the Korean war and i'm super excited about that one because that got skimmed over super hard when I was in school so I feel like I dont know poo poo about it.
