Wow, what a thorough answer, thank you! The summation was almost poetic, in a beautiful and somewhat horrifying way. The whole system laid out like that almost seems a bit dark and dystopian in kind of an indescribable way. It sounds like a sentient, Lovecraftian rat’s-nest of wires running the whole world.
Those fabrics are made of plastic, which is derived from oil, which forms over long periods of time from buried decaying plant and animal matter. 70% of the Earth’s oil is from the Mesozoic Era, which encompassed the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods, so formed during a time when dinosaurs lived and jokes about oil being made of dinosaurs are common. Oil is actually made of plankton rather than dinosaurs, though.
That’s called a fossil word, a word that only ever gets used in a specific phrase. When was the last time you heard the word “inclement” outside of the phrase “inclement weather”?
Aw man, it came and I missed it? I need more details. About what time? Where at? Facing which direction? I kept an eye out last night but didn’t see anything before bed.
Gooby recursion
If anything, this design would greatly reduce the chance of butter going rancid, since rancidity is just when fats oxidize.
You can’t just casually mention that the whole house has to be moved to another location and not even say why.
Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!
Oh, well. Why shouldn’t they have to clean up their own messes? I thought corporations counted as people, people who can be compelled to pick up after themselves. Any money they’d lose is money they should have already been spending on this.

Very nice. Now let’s see how rich it’s made you, OP.
The best part of this meme is that Brexit had literally nothing to do with it whatsoever, the guy just decided to expand his markets to other places, which he could have done either way, and well might have. He expanded his international enterprise across a wider part of the world, and you mean to tell me he started making more money? That’s pretty amazing! Why isn’t everyone doing this?
Yes, this is all correct. It was my intention to differentiate the extreme hell-blazes we often see today that completely destroy forests (soil and all) from the much smaller healthier, and more regular fires that merely thin them. Fires are important, but because of gross forest mismanagement, now for forests to undergo their natural burn cycle is to completely burn to a crisp.
Perhaps in the short term regarding albedo, though IR still largely shines through. Once the smoke dissipates soon though, it’ll be back to “normal”, except now with a large boost in CO2 levels, leading to more heating. Except it won’t be normal because the blackened forests then decrease the albedo even further than it was before. Burnt forests also get less snowpack, which again further reduces albedo. Anyone who’s dealt with heavy wildfire smoke knows the smoke tends to trap heat under it like a big blanket, too.
Wildfires (especially as big as we see them today) are definitely a net bad thing for the environment, health, communities, etc.
If you had access to a large genetic database, it would theoretically be possible to find living relatives, provided at least one (even quite distant) relative is included in that database. It may be possible to then retrace familial history to determine who specifically it may have been.
That’s more or less how they managed to find the Golden State Killer. Someone noticed that the GSK’s DNA had distantly related DNA listed in GEDmatch’s private database and family trees were constructed to narrow down suspects until only one remained based on timing, location, and other details. The person listed in the database and the GSK were so distantly related that they only shared a great-great-great-great grandfather.
Apparently the owner of the lot simply decided not to renew the lease
It doesn’t make me want to buy the house necessarily, but that’s actually a really cool photo right there
You don’t have to, it’s just that everyone copies everyone else doing it. All that’s asked of users is to post when visiting.
I also want to add that evolution is a species-wide phenomenon over hundreds or thousands of generations, it’s not done individually.
