dude I live in a tiny town surrounded by trees and rivers, I'm a mechanic by trade, my hobbies are hiking, shooting, gardening, cooking and fixing stuff unless we all live to be 103 I don't think my odds of survival are going to be much higher than the gooniest of computer touchers. luck alone will determine who lives and who dies and how painfully, like it does now

we are saved! https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/scorching-temperatures-causing-ntx-homeowners-to-consider-fake-grass/3035546/ quote:People are spending a lot of money on water bills, fertilizer, and sprinkler systems just to keep their lawns alive, all while their family budgets battle inflation and rising utility costs. quote:Karina Leon of Dallas and her family told NBC 5 they had to make the switch. quote:Chapman walked us through the key facts about artificial turf that many people ask them about : turns out, it's actually greener! (heh got'em) quote:"The cost of going in and installing an irrigation system, then sod, then the water bill to get the sod to take, then the water bill to maintain, and your maintenance on top of it,” Chapman added. “Outside of just the general maintenance, you're not dealing with having to fertilizer and the bad toxins that you could be putting in around your kids [with real grass]. quote:There's no habitat for pollinators. However, that can be offset with a surrounding garden. cheaper, less toxic if done right and great with pollinators if you also plant flowers in the surroundings, what's not to like?? lol guess this is the MSM take on fake grass

I literally transitioned to one-person-one-pack, zero-income and went nomad through the Trump years. I learned dumpster diving, diesel jugging, using bumfeeds, hitchhiking, gathering firewood, tending fire, cooking outdoors, gardening, foraging and black bloc basics. It didn't leave me feeling confident about my future; I feel like I just made those transitions before others are forced to. Now I'm sheltering with friends and doing kitchen work with an elastomeric :/

half earth socialism is a neat little game free on steam. it’s utopian but still realistically challenging. i enjoy how the modeling is both straightforward but not entirely upfront. like on turn 1 you can declare you’re switching to a grid mix that is 65% hydro then get owned as hydro resource availability declines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6fs2JJjp6g Looks like the volcanic system in Iceland that erupted last year is set to go again. If it's like the eruption last year it won't be too explosive, so it won't put much into the upper atmosphere, but it will be cool 😎

Our Final Warning is the first book I've read in approx. 9 years (yes im dumb gently caress off) and it really owned to destroy even more shreds of hope I didnt even know I still had. One of the first regions to be hit the hardest will be the Middle East. We're going to be hit with like 20 nations/Most of Africa/bits South Asia worth of climate refugees all clamoring to enter the Promised Land, perched in just the right spot geographically on top of being equipped with one of the most advanced water filtration/recycling systems in the world. 19 year old conscripts with Tavors are going to be mowing down starving families piling on top of our massive walls like some hosed up scene from World War Z. Lmao! Of course eventually we too shall fall, ripped apart to pieces from within and outside. But you bet your rear end Im gonna post all about it right here in this thread.

What's the deal with nuclear winter? I was under the impression that it was fairly well debunked. Have they done new science or is that guy just repeating the study put forward by Sagan in the 70s (maybe 80s). Which I think might have actually been deliberately falsified to scare generals and politicians out of using nukes.

I believe the predictions nowadays focus on a limited nuclear war. which is to say low yield nukes will be used to clear unfashionable sections of big cities and the areas surrounding billionaire bunkers and ski resorts.

Which I think might have actually been deliberately falsified to scare generals and politicians out of using nukes. there was murmuring that it was all bullshit because nobody did any studies on it after 1990 until fairly recently but scientists started doing updated estimates with more recent models in the past decade and all of them still suggest global cooling and famine conditions would result from even relatively limited nuclear exchanges (the modern studies are focused on the scale of india and pakistan going at it for the obvious reasons) e: its possible all the models are wrong but its only been 'fairly well debunked' in that some dudes who want to start ww3 over ukraine have said 'nuclear winter is fairly well debunked' in op-ed pages atelier morgan has issued a correction as of 07:24 on Aug 2, 2022 |
