He sees himself as the rich dude unfrozen on TNG whose first concern is his portfolio

Except that dude was good at something because he figured out the Romulans were bluffing at the end of the episode.

The great plains are the product of multi generational geo engineering projects from indigenous peoples.

No they are not.

Did you even read your own wiki? not that it's a source but

That's not geo-engineering though.

Even using the wrong definition of geo-engineering, the Great Plains were a natural geographical feature modified to a certain extent by the various plains tribes and their ancestors. That's not to downplay their effect on the prairies, but as far as I've read they had nowhere near the same impact as, say, what human occupation of Europe did in terms of deforesting most of the continent.


EDIT: Ignore, me not read good today

Linking to broad overviews on Wikipedia that, now two-for-two, say the opposite of what you seem to be getting at, is not actually a good way of handling this discussion.

Climate engineering, or commonly geoengineering, is deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system

Oh :lol: I read that as "climate change". Jesus Christ I'm just gonna drop this and shame-walk outta here

Also manly Romans thought eating meat is unmanly in large quantities and that real bro dudes make their own bread.

This is one of those facts I like to use on overbearing paleo and low-carb types. The Roman Empire was built on wheat bread, fish sauce, olive oil, and vegetables.

Yeah without tow truck drivers how would society survive :geno:

You know tow trucks do things besides repo, right? Like I had to have my car towed to a tire store when I got a flat.

Flag is still dumb as poo poo, don't get me wrong. It just seems odd to choose the one group represented who actually do something useful and not loving loss prevention.

He looks like he just stumbled off a bus from 1970s British crime show.
