CRUSTY MINGE posted:Who is this prophet you speak of? I think I said something along those lines but I've been doing projections and growing enough weed when the power and climate have failed is gonna be loving hard. I think I agree with Voice of Labor -- I personally prefer to not live in or near cities because they are loud and anxiety producing for me, that's it. If (when) poo poo gets really bad, I tend to think we all die together, if somewhat remote areas held on and had food production they would be overrun by starving hordes. If I was really smart maybe I'd be digging down and trying to make an underground mycoprotein facility that's hidden or something, but, seems better to just do what little we can and enjoy the time we have now with our kids and each other etc. Everyone that's born dies, usually in pain and always, on some level, alone. Hubbert posted:i'm putting my odds on this goon, unless Cabbages and Kings wants to become the community building katana-wielding feudal lord from World Made by Hand nah, I'm generally meek when push comes to shove. My spouse says I have a latent tendency towards cult leader, so I guess if my brain broke in a certain way during the collapse I might take a run at that, but I don't think it'd work out well for me, or anyone else. Also there's so many crazy MFs armed to the teeth with freezers full of drugs and god knows else up in the hills here, who knows what a real loss of state and national governance leads to. Realistically I think we're somewhere that things might be better for a while than some other places, mostly because I find it objectively better to be here than most of the USA already, but that means we're already in the "a while", a period noted for having something else (worse, almost certainly) after it. I hope it lasts.... for a while, at least? Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 11:59 on Aug 2, 2022 |

i'm pretty sure nuclear winter is still bullshit because everything in those lynas tweets sounded like the ancient boomer bullshit (4000 nukes, implied ground-strikes) i tried clicking through to see if he linked anything but couldnl't find it... of course that could just be because twitter is a finely tuned machine for destroying context links welcome. this was "debunked" (mostly just pointed out as an absurdly improbably scenario) looooong before ukraine.

I am prepared for this phase and some of the climate maps make it look like VT ought to support a decent outdoor weed season until I die, but, also, I don't loving believe any of the maps or projections because at a glance everything is both speeding up and becoming less predictable against a backdrop of mounting global instability and an increasingly hot WWIII.

I used to be exactly as you (Carl Sagan and Stephen Schneider famously having their falling out over the topic.) but the more recent modeling seems pretty darn solid. Edit: here’s the paper that was being discussed earlier https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021AV000610

CODChimera posted:they could get better supply chains are complex and could get better in some ways and not others The main visible thing is backlogs. Our inability to process the amount of freight flowing around or distribute it once we receive it. As the economy gets worse in the US we will have backlogs cleared and less things to ship in the future so this will naturally clear up. Some things that aren't able to be procured or made in enough quantities, like fertilizers and raw materials, aren't getting any better. Not everything tracks 1:1 with consumer demand like appliances and clothes and electronics backlogs due to shipping delays or manufacture delays related to component delays. We are just going to transition to a new supply chain problem as large segments of it go bankrupt or out of business and alternate sources are required but shipping probably won't be the problem.

I love it when I'm reading something that should be a mile away from biosphere collapse and then biosphere collapse pops in and says "don't forget about me!!" https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220719-can-you-prevent-childhood-allergies quote:A study by Nadeau and researchers at Stanford University found that exposure to wildfire smoke was linked to significantly lower concentrations of type 1 T helper cells (Th1) in children, which fight infection, and higher levels of type 2 T helper cells (Th2), which trigger the activation of cells involved in allergic inflammation.

I'm just gonna go stare at my kids' bedrooms and their proximity to the chimney flue stack. We run HEPA filters on all floors and in the bedrooms, but we're heating this place with a 50 year old wood stove. Catalytics? Lol what's that. I do have co2 sensors all over, and I am personally pretty smoke sensitive, but who knows.

goochtit posted:Here's the article he wrote, there are links to referenced studies throughout: thank you, that lays it out a little more clearly short version is: - india/pak nuking each other a hundred times (which i consider a very low probability bordering on absurd) would translate to a mostly regionalized (to the region of earth where 50% of humans live) food shortage for single digit years, likely triggering famine deaths on the order of tens of millions. so basically right on par with what we're already doing to them. - russia/us/china setting of 4000+ nukes would create a ~decade long "the road" scenario with 90-99% deaths. however... this is also an absurd scenario. even if you assume putin is a pure cartoon character and pushes the "launch it all" button, and that the US is so dumb an vicious that they retaliate against all russian targets, there's no way the US nukes half of china just for shits and giggles. like the first two parts are very unlikely and the third part is just silly. these are not plausible scenarios, they're academic research thought exercises. plausible scenarios (india and pakistan nuking each other single or double digit numbers of time, russia nuking europe and the US retaliating single or double digit number of times) seem very likely to cause immense suffering, but 'nuclear winter' is not actually on the table in any meaningful way. no point in worrying about an absurd hypothetical doom when we've got plenty of doom at home.

i had a dream once where i accidentally stumbled upon the fyad hq in a jungle in the wilderness. it was a single small room set up with desks and early 00s rainbow macs around the walls, everything entirely hot pink and the anime tractor picture on the ceiling. the fyads all sat in a circle on the carpet in the middle of the room giggling to each other and brainstorming their arcane nonsense, and all at once they'd leap up and run to the computers and post as a flock. in the dream, i tried to log onto one of the computers so i could post on fyad about the exact dream i was having, but they told me i wasn't allowed to be there and then locked me out of the building

It's nice that we have these little rings of horrible pollution and economic devastation and rampant crime around every American military base. It's hard to even single one out as particularly bad, they are each so devastating and harmful in their own unique, charming way.

I think this depends on BFC turning their currency into useful things before currency loses its value and from what I can tell those people really, really love their currency TFR is still gonna TFR, though, I think they'll be offering gun safety classes in the skull deserts tbqh. can't be too safe out there.
