a page or two back people were freaking out over how canal locks work and you'll be happy to find out that the canal authority was also concerned about water usage so implemented a holding-tank system that uses clever plumbing and gravity to save 60% of the water going down to refill for the upward trip. it's incredibly cool engineering that cut water use in 1/3.

silicone thrills posted:Is it terrible that on looking at that picture I also thought "wow who the gently caress throws away those nice wood cartons, people pay a lot for those" Agreed. Once a dumpster diver always a dumpster diver, at least in my case. Might be a little tricky salvaging them atm though. Fox yeah!

Heh, about that boreal tree movement: "“It was shocking to see trees there. No one knew about them but they were young and growing fast,” said Dial, who first spotted the shadows of the trees on satellite imagery and then took a single-engine plane journey, followed by a five-day hike, to find and study the advancing forest. “The trees basically hopped over the mountains into the tundra. Going by climate models, this wasn’t supposed to happen for a hundred years or more. And yet it’s happening now.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/10/forests-changes-global-heating-arctic-amazon-studies It's basically a meme now, "faster than expected".

this has been known for a while now, basically in less than 20 years the exclusion zone got completely reclaimed by nature/wildlife, to the point where it's the healthiest ecosystem in the world just because humans don't go there the same thing has happened around the fukushima plant too

Perry Mason Jar posted:Topsoil depletion getting, like, zero thrift is the really big bad one. It's been suggested to me by several actual MDs over the years, that as a chronically anxious person with muscle tension issues I might benefit from magnesium supplementation. This seems to be true. However, digging into this (when I was like 24, so, early '00s, I may have early posts about this poo poo here) led me to find out that: * leafy green vegetables are a traditional source of dietary magnesium for the West * the amount of magnesium in a serving is based on FDA numbers which may not have been updated within my lifetime * it is thought that poor farming practices have substantially reduced soil magnesium, in turn making traditionally magnesium-rich foods, not that * there seems to be basically zero data on the actual, current nutritional content of almost anything this was a  and one of the first things that made me think "wait if this is completely hosed on the national level and has known health effects but no one is even attempting to understand the problem, then......"

"Anthropcene" seems too cuddly, like you can almost read an implication into it that the "anthro" survives the cene. I see a lotta hope for the COVID virus and MPX and god knows what else, this isn't the anthropocene, it's the virocene and it always has been

A Bakers Cousin posted:i just moved to colorado and it seems like A/C is pretty new thing here lol AC used to be extremely uncommon in Vermont now all the local HW stores get a huge pallet every couple weeks all summer and they all sell we have three in our house to make hot nights with 2 small kids tolerable, but I want to look at loving ditching them along with our oil heater for a heat pump and solar, mostly so I can stop buying and smelling loving heating oil. We'll see if the IRA has any poo poo in it that makes it easier for that to actually happen. I have a friend with a heat pump here and he has been surprisingly happy with it even during winter. We have wood stoves as backup, which can fully heat the house in -20F weather no problem (if they are constantly being fed), so I'd be fine with having to deal with some bullshit during the really extreme cold in exchange for not having a god drat 275 gallon heating oil tank occupying a couple cubic yards of useful basement space.

Cabbages and Kings posted:AC used to be extremely uncommon in Vermont I grew up in the PNW, and no one had a/c up there back then. We had a little window unit for our TV room which was above the garage, but otherwise we cooled the house by opening all of the windows, and running a big window fan in the kitchen, blowing outwards all night. In the morning we would seal up all the windows, and it would be downright frosty until the evening, and even then it wasn't bad, but we spent most of the evening in the TV room. About 2 or 3 years before we moved away, our furnace went out, and my parents did get an A/C installed, this would have been around y2k, so it was really uncommon back then, no idea what the prevelance is now that the PNW gets heat domed

oh yeah also those tweets about the actual chernobyl death tolls are especially funny in this era of covid turbodeath which is being completely ignored by everyone turns out you can murder as many people as you want as long as you make it difficult to see and spread it over a wide enough area that it looks like it's an uncommon event from any local point of view. i mean it was already pretty clear that was the case. it's how capitalism deals with undesirables like the homeless, after all. but it's good to know it's just as easy when your target is the general population anyway i'm sure this doesn't have any implications for climate change Truga posted:no that poo poo's fenced and mined up the wazoo, there are no animals there. not to mention it isn't even wide enough for animals to move freely in seriously? not sure where i've read that, then
