mawarannahr posted:there also seems to be an underlying assumption that their genes are superior and that filtering them out will only increase the gap between their child and nonwhites. not sure if that’s gonna hold up. It's intrinsically stupid because if your kid also does this you're setting up khan to have 0% of your crap bag genes anyway. A better gene will eventually be found for every gene you passed on. Which doesn't matter, but these people are apparently trying to cement inequality in a future world which doesn't even contain residual traces of themselves, except their ideology. Simultaneously supremacist and also destroying the race.

Stereotype posted:it was pretty fun to learn that those giant solar towers in the desert of nevada are actually just natural gas plants that are lightly amplified by solar for a small part of the day. also that all the mirrors break constantly and are all from fossil fuels and mining and also the shade kills any desert plants that hold the soil together even a little and so you end up with huge barren dust bowls when the thing eventually irreparably breaks in 20 years away. iirc the spanish have gotten around this by using molten salt, where it gets so fuckin rip roarin hot that it melts blocks of salt and they use that to power turbines. The salt takes a while to get melted, like a whole day or something, but once it's all liquid it stays liquid and the plant produces power even if the mirrors aren't working at full capacity, and it keeps producing power at night. You need a fuckload of mirrors though and every little misalignment adds up. Ofc instead of doing that you could just use gas burners to keep the salt liquid.

i was shoveling snow and a mosquito came out. It's so loving warm there's already mosquitos in February. I have to shovel this poo poo because even though there's meltoff lakes forming everywhere and flooding the streets it's supposed to drop down to subzero again and freeze into a glacier that'll prob take until august to melt. Malaria'll be coming back bigly, i bet. All this runoff is absolutely insanely polluted too, it reeks. Perry Mason Jar posted:September, 2021. A white (leucistic) stag was gunned down in Merseyside. extraordinarily cursed af, UK is surely doomed. That whole "Lifeboat Britian" or whatever that insane climate change political policy is called -- it's going to doom them to sink into the sea.

i say swears online posted:lmao my roommate gets mad at light bulbs left on but god help you if you touch his wintertime heat at 71 so he can wear shorts My Dad's like this but to the point where he gets very angry if you're in a room and have more than 1 light bulb on. I offered to pay for a year of lightbulb in cash on the spot and he didn't take it well. Also he's purposefully misconfigured his furnace in an extremely dangerous and wasteful way because it "saves money" to put extreme amounts of heat through some ducts and nothing through others. Because of this the heat doesn't get evenly distributed and some rooms' ducts are so hot they can catch plastic on fire. If it gets cold enough outside the furnace has to run continually at all times until it overheats and the thermal security breaker cuts power. He knows exactly why this happens and somehow also insists that modern furnaces need "rebooted" cause they're junk. HVAC pros have told him not to do this. He's relying on a security feature for normal operation. If that part fails the furnace will burn the house down trying to keep it at the designated temperature. When he "reboots" it he's just clearing the fault state and not even waiting for it to return to safe temp. There's no insulation in the house because installing it could damage the vinyl siding.

yeah probably whatever i'm pretty checked out tbh. Pretty sure my parents aren't interfacing with the same reality as the rest of us. I was like "dad the hvac guy said everything will work fine if you just make sure to keep all the vents open all the time. These new furnaces are not like the one we used to have when you guys first got the house." "I don't believe it." uh, alright ok? where do you go from that? I've tried to talk about it a few times and he believes that now adays you just need to buy a new furnace system every ten years cause it's something he saw on a commercial. They do this poo poo about everything and they act like it's 1980 still. Absolute lead brain plastic soul lifeforms. He'll not only be less comfortable, but he'll pay more money, and risk losing everything he has, just to be correct about one stupid thing. It's extremely upsetting and they've done other poo poo that's straight up dangerous, and still refuse to believe anything, so i just checked out.

Cup Runneth Over posted:This country is full of millions of people like this. Tens of millions. What are we to do? check out and die. There's no longer enough time to erode their calcified opinions and unfortunately ocean acidification doesn't work on hyperbolically hypersmooth infinite crystal wisdom brains. Those brains will be permanently destroyed by even one crack, much less an entire ping. There's a level beyond brainworms. You'd have to just ignore them and move on with the plan somehow. Even without them there's already no effective plan and it's impossible to enforce any new plan which might be formed. Cup Runneth Over posted:It's existentially offensive to me that in the winter when it's below freezing, I heat my entire home, and then I take a box in my home and cool it back down to below freezing. there are some thermal storage systems that just save that heat for later and use it to warm the house. Basically air conditioning except instead of dumping the heat into atmosphere it stores it underground until you need it again.

idk in more helpful terms i guess my parents have some kind of authority complex. everything is zero sum. everything. there's a rigid ontology. I can't be right about the furnace because as the Child, I am lower than the Parent and this is enough to just be wrong in and of itself. Only a recognized authority in the matter can be correct. The problem is each part of this system reinforces the others. If there's only so much to go around there have to be winners and losers which means there has to be a strict hierarchy or else the whole thing would be a free for all. If there's a hierarchy you can't have people swapping between rungs and left and right between categories. You can't have trans people for example, this weakens the hierarchy if people can swap categories. Everything has to be essentialized and cemented into place or the hierarchy will be threatened and this can't be allowed because then your personal place in the chain of being will be threatened and this isn't tolerable because there's only so much to go around. There's only so much respect or money or food or love and everything is zero sum and losing position means losing all those things. There's any number of entry points into this worldview and once you go in it locks you in by mutually reinforcing other damaging beliefs.

Cup Runneth Over posted:But the actual HVAC technicians are also wrong and not recognized as authorities. The only authority people like that recognize is themselves. Not true. When a trans person won jeopardy things were restructured to accommodate, and all of their own personal history of being hideous assholes about it was perfectly redacted. Despite being rigid it can't be too brittle, it has to be possible to make some changes. These changes have to have always been in effect like some reverse causality. If it were fully inert and impossible to rise or fall it wouldn't be emotionally useful to believe in cause you'd be locked in. If it were too loose it would be a free for all which is emotionally dangerous cause any bullshit could dislodge you -- not useful to believe. Being the hvac guy is lower on the chain because it's not prestigious enough. White collar is higher than blue, even if this person clearly has genuine expertise. Money helps, but it has to be big money, or the styleand image of big money. Because zero sum if someone has big money they are pretty high up the ladder. Prestige is also zero sum and not having it means lower rank. No part of any of this is ever reflected upon, it's all off the cuff. I'd add a third axiom where all this is sorta rarified by the opinions of recognized authorities or peers. Another thing that comes out of this is you're allowed to kick people lower than you but punching up is forbidden cause it could destabilize the belief system. This facilitates moving up and helps prevent you from backsliding, so it's useful.

rabble rabble posted:The night passed. Only the very brightest stars were visible, blurs swimming overhead. A moonless night. Satellites passing overhead, east to west, west to east, even once north to south. People were watching, they knew what was happening. They knew but they didn’t act. Couldn’t act. Didn’t act. Nothing to do, nothing to say. Many years passed for Frank that night. When the sky lightened, at first to a gray that looked like clouds, but then was revealed to be only a clear and empty sky, he stirred. His fingertips were all pruney. He had been poached, slow-boiled, he was a cooked thing. It was hard to raise his head even an inch. Possibly he would drown here. The thought caused him to exert himself. He dug his elbows in, raised himself up. His limbs were like cooked spaghetti draping his bones, but his bones moved of their own accord. He sat up. The air was still hotter than the water. He watched sunlight strike the tops of the trees on the other side of the lake; it looked like they were bursting into flame. Balancing his head carefully on his spine, he surveyed the scene. Everyone was dead. "One of BARACK OBAMA'S favorite books"

Big tree talk: The eastern half of North America also used to have enormous trees in the form of chestnuts which are now nearly extinct. At one point they helped feed a major chunk of people who lived even slightly close to the forests. Roasted chestnuts were free for the taking and lasted well even for a year. A very small number of them are naturally resistant to the permanent blight conditions introduced by humans, or were remote enough to avoid exposure. There's a project to selectively breed a stable population that will send you seeds if you want to help, and iirc two other projects to attempt to genetically modify them with genes from other species. Most likely they're gonna die with all the other charismatic species of the earth. It's due to a quirk of their biology they weren't gone already.

No I mean go online and buy a dime sized piece of coral for $20 and put it in a fish tank and look at it while it slowly grows. It's like if you were growing alien plants that need a life support system, it'll prime you for trying to keep dandelions alive in the dome time

Harry Potter on Ice posted:Where does that coral come from lol The Oldest Man posted:It's probably cultured but coral is one of those things where either there's going to be a lot of it or none of it and that switch is going to get flipped pretty quickly. this, the best and sometimes cheapest are the ones pruned off some other person's colony. i'd say more like it's a soft on/off with wild corals, they've been dying back for a while now, but when the slow mo switch clicks in imo the rest will all die basically instantly. Both coral reefs and kelp forests have been able to establish in weird deep water refugia that will surely be wiped out when the currents shift.
