What, those? They're just some unrelated boxes behind some numbers. Nobody ever said it was a graph

Darth Walrus posted:Global Sustainability Institute says we're going to be out of domestic oil and gas in five years. They usually don't factor shale gas into reports like these, since it's mostly inaccessible without fracking. If anything, pro-fracking proponents will use this as an excuse to frack more. But they don't seem to know what they're on about based on their methodology, since they're just dividing known reserves by current consumption. As if consumption isn't steadily growing or anything. The actual figure is probably less than five years, unless we frack. (but yes, build nuclear)

baka kaba posted:Playing devil's advocate a second, is there any research that points to memory and accurate recollection of events improving after 48 hours, when the subject has undergone extreme stress or is in a state of shock? I know memory goes to pot very rapidly after the event, but I didn't want to just assume that holds for extreme situations where decompressing might actually help. (I'm guessing it still makes things worse) I do work on memory psych and witness testimony and there's no evidence to this effect. The forgetting curve for accurate recall can be steep or shallow situationally but it always goes down.

Except it's just the European Parliament elections and so doesn't matter
