SKULL.GIF posted:Sometime around noon today I began smelling something weird but couldn't place it. Just stepped out on my balcony to stretch before I leave for work only to see the sky totally hazy with a slightly orange tinge. Guess the wildfire smoke has arrived from the west it's finally below 100 AQI at my house today lol

iirc maybe it was Undoing the Demos that had a section making GBS threads on public choice theory as neoliberalism taking over how we think about democracy, i'll have to check e: nah i couldn't find "public choice theory" in the index, not sure what book it was then

FacebookEmpathyMom posted:Those oral histories are very robust. If you ever find yourself near Neah Bay the Makah people’s cultural center is very well done and interesting. They had a story of a large mudslide that later was excavated and resulted in a ton of well preserved artifacts, including evidence of gill net fishing which was used to help establish the practice as predating the treaties to the eternal consternation of modern fisherfolk who get really pissed about natives fishing. i'm pretty sure they're referring to this earthquake https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake part of the story is that the earthquake was so big that at least one town was completely destroyed from https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one : quote:Once scientists had reconstructed the 1700 earthquake, certain previously overlooked accounts also came to seem like clues. In 1964, Chief Louis Nookmis, of the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, in British Columbia, told a story, passed down through seven generations, about the eradication of Vancouver Island’s Pachena Bay people. “I think it was at nighttime that the land shook,” Nookmis recalled. According to another tribal history, “They sank at once, were all drowned; not one survived.” A hundred years earlier, Billy Balch, a leader of the Makah tribe, recounted a similar story. Before his own time, he said, all the water had receded from Washington State’s Neah Bay, then suddenly poured back in, inundating the entire region. Those who survived later found canoes hanging from the trees. In a 2005 study, Ruth Ludwin, then a seismologist at the University of Washington, together with nine colleagues, collected and analyzed Native American reports of earthquakes and saltwater floods. Some of those reports contained enough information to estimate a date range for the events they described. On average, the midpoint of that range was 1701.

id expect that they wouldn't bother winterizing the turbines or installing defrosters in the blades or whatever it is they're lacking since they never expected to reasonably need them. the larger meme takes hold because it's just another iteration of the "liberals are dumb hippies and are replacing stuff that works with lovely poo poo that doesn't work and claiming it's more eco friendly" thing that has been a right wing article of faith for decades. it's identical to trump going on long tangents during his rallies ranting about low flow toilets you have to flush five times or eco friendly washing machines that break all the time

Cup Runneth Over posted:Do they believe in climate change yet or will the solar panels and electric cars save us everything i've read in the business press lately has been that finance and politics people have come around to the idea that now that biden is president global warming will be addressed and that it mostly involves phasing out gasoline cars for electric cars and the transition to a non-carbon-intensive economy will mostly be finished in maybe 10 or 20 years this is also about what the biden admin has been messaging

PostNouveau posted:Can desalination plants meet our water needs in a few decades or are we all gonna be drafted into fighting a war over water? the US's water supply right now is probably enough for our needs if it were rationed like a finite resource but instead rich people and businesses guzzle zillions of gallons on golf courses and horribly wasteful agricultural processes as you surely are aware we of course can't solve any problems through planning and instead have to use market mechanisms like making water more expensive, but coincidentally the big water users are exempt from the market mechanisms

HashtagGirlboss posted:Lmao rice doesn’t even need to be flooded. They just do it to keep away weeds and pests. So it’s an extra layer of stupid right, agriculture in california uses extremely water-intensive methods because big landowners have absurd grandfathered water rights from hundreds of years ago that let them pull as much water as they want for practically free so it's cheaper than trying to conserve water meanwhile normal people are asked to save water by flushing toilets less and taking shorter showers Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 00:33 on Jun 25, 2021 |
