it's a good video for people who watch that channel's videos to see, but the end of the message is still funny - "vote", "we need politicians to change laws and massively invest in innovation".

It still ends with saying that You need to do your part.

It's also sponsored by Bil Gates

anyone notice how the news is not really even talking about efforts to stop, stall, or mitigate climate change but instead how to cope with it? We're hyper-hosed!

Disposable plastic bags are banned, but that's ok if you use more plastic in each bag it's "reusable" and you can give away all of those you want!

One of the better water purifying solutions is "Polar Pure." It's just a jar of iodine crystals you mix with water but is extremely cheap per-gallon and one jar does like 2,000 liters. Backpackers usually carry it but it's going to be vastly superior to any kind of bulk tablet solution since you'd need like 30lbs of tablets to equal what one small bottle can do.

Not sure why but it goes on/off sale on Amazon all the time. I think because you could make meth out of the raw crystalline iodine in the jars or something.

If you manage to find some somewhere I'd suggest storing it in a sealed, dry container. I live in a humid environment and had a jar manage to stain the trunk of my car.

Also a bonus, in our nuclear water war future the iodine mixture you are using to purify your water will be better for your diet of radioactive scorpions and human bones.

Wonder if someone will start talking about NAWAPA again after a few more years of this.

seems to be tumerics, ginger, oreganos, basil, and paprika that are the main culprits. particularly it seems spices grown bulk in india and adjacent regions which is where most of those would come from (for cheap). and particularly your cheap garbage grocery store Great Value mccormick poo poo.

i buy most of my spices from a small local very bougie place. i should ask them next time i'm there what they do.

I think the preferred method is helium. One can just go to the Party Store, purchase a dozen balloons marked "LOL" and empty them into a plastic bag and put that over one's head and be still. Not that I've given it any consideration.

so there was this farmer and he liked to masturbate by putting a bottle on a stick in his field and loving himself with it but he slipped one day and the bottle broke

initially he made up a lie, saying that he was attacked, but later was like "ah, i was masturbating, actually"

the reaction of the public and the media led to nationalism that led to the collapse of the country, leading to war

New talk by William Rees discussing the nature of Climate Change as a shared delusion which distracts from the actual threat of overshoot resulting in biosphere collapse.

The opening three slides from the video:






It's pretty good, I highly recommend it.

I've decided to use my 8 month sabbatical to write a book.

You'd think I'd be able to find my own drat thread after changing the title specifically to do so, pruning my bookmarks to be safe this time.

you know, the people of the future are going to have some pretty harsh critiques of our present and past because for all of our supposed intellect and tradition of philosophy we paved the way for their unbroken litany of suffering, death and destruction of not only the natural world but humanity itself on an unimaginable scale.
