Keep in mind desalination, you are sucking water out of the sea and putting inland. Altering the landscape and the albedo, cooling that region and absorbing carbon dioxide. Now just using renewable energy for desalination from the sea, which is nothing but pumping the water inland (reverse osmosis filtration at depth) to a suitable holding tank at altitude so gravity takes it to the location where it is actually required, you can very efficiently use surplus energy. Storing that energy as fresh water to be used.

So yeah, needs lots and lots and lots of desalination to cool the worlds coastal deserts and thus cool the planet, absorb lots of carbon dioxide and provide lots of food, do it smart and it generates a profit.

As for rice, I would lean to large scale hydroponics for it's production, the rice contained within an enclosed system to preserve the water as much as possible. It can readily be done, it is a choice. Hydroponics, thought the plants float on the water in floating grow beds, actually uses far less water that current methods and is really quite a simple design. In fact generate two crops per season instead of one.

Of course we know what they actually prefer, what ever makes THEM money and screw the rest of us, chaotic greed is making all the actual decisions. Whilst empty suits in government waffle bullshit about doing something but actually doing nothing but serving what ever short term greed got them elected.

When sea level rise starts taking the under waterfront properties of the rich and greedy, then we will see some real action and not before. First thing they will do, how to shift the insurance cost from their underewaterfront properties onto the poor.

You are sick, related to negative side affects of a vaccine, with a success rate in the field, depending upon variety of mRNA of around 50%. Yes, the mRNA vaccine made you sick. Now I have heard of boosters like once every ten years for vaccines but never eight months, that only happens for a failed vaccine. Yeah, the third shot is the go, not wait number four or perhaps five.

Keep this shit up and everyone eventually gets the virus anyhow and the pharmas then take credit after shot number ten.

Three shots of a vaccine, instead of just one, that ain't no vaccine, that is an illusion crafted by the corrupt for profit. Don't worry shot number four will work. The crap you people will believe, like a paper mask over you mouth and nose will keep you safe from an airborne virus when you skin breathes. The stupidity inherent in accepting that nonsense when studies have proven the paper face mask DOES NOT WORK.

How about this little tit bit of information "Facebook estimates that 5% (130 million) of its 2.6 billion MAUs are fake at any one time"https://backlinko.com/facebook-users, ohh noes 300 odd accounts out of 130 MILLION fake ones. I hope they paid that agency bugger all because what ever competing manufacturer got ripped off.

Low numbers like the ones they talk about, often come off as fake ones created by those doing the discovering mainly because they are way too lazy. 300 you lazy gits, THIRTY THOUSAND is a number you start talking about as if it means something, even 3,000 is nothing, not serious.

First Boris and Natasha are so incompetent at coding they have to pay ransomware hackers and now they can only set up 300 fake accounts, poor Boris and Natasha, they had been pay the ransomware hackers to do it for them I am sure they can manage 10,000 or even 100,000.

This stuff is just getting lamer and lamer.

How about this. Pathetic lame arse DUMB russian agents, need to work with hackers because they too stupid to do computer stuff, yep uh huh, absolutely.

Oh wait, that makes no sense because they are smart and the Russian Government is an authoritarian state (yep uh huh) and has tens of thousands of agents, smart ones, they get the pick of the litter, less tech industry competition and no corrupt contractors.

Poor Borish and Natasha don't know how to code must pay hackers with crypto currency to use Komputa thing for them. SO FUCKING LAME

So Open Shell still works fine M$ just broke it on purpose in Windows 11 so in partnership they can start charging extra for features. Start menu costs extra, file explorer costs extra, sound costs extra, they unfortunately have to do picture to charge you extra for everything else. Turn it off costs extra, data mining no amount of money liberates you from that, just like advertising on the desktop the probe more probey than ever before because you idiots accepted it last time and ohh look, just like you were warned it got even worse, surprise, surprise, surprise.

The smarter way. Netflix sets up global accounts, and distributes it through a VPN they partner with. The VPN takes it overseas and netflix only delivers to them and you have a global account, no restrictions, you pay an extra over say a dollar for the specificVPN netflix partners with. So Netflix did not do it and neither did the VPN, the VPN only acted as a proxy for their clients no location requirement for them, they did nothing.

Funny guys, like chill.

I like the Russia attitude climate change bad news for some and good news for others. For Russian warmer is better once the forest fires settle down. Also guess who else is REALLY SLOW to the climate change party, Canada, they also make out like bandits hence, pipelines from the most polluting old fields are excellent for the Canadian elite.

Hey Australia looked to be getting it real bad but a warming southern ocean is just dumping all kinds of rain across southern Australia (rain, lots of cloud cover, not so hot).

East coast USA, ouch. The mediterranean cities, ouch. East coast south America, lots of south east asia. What a mess 1.5m of sea level rise will create.

Clearly laying the ground work for getting rid of the dead wood. Though normally they pay extra for those being lead out to pasture before shipping them off to the knackery behind the scenes once they other work animals have forgotten them don't want to crush productivity amongst the rest of the herd. Paying less, cheap as.

So now during office hours, for as long as you last, you pay for heating, cooling, wear and maintenance, electricity, internet connection, the lease worth of the used space (who pays the rent for the for that office space, you are working for them, they pay for the office space you are in no matter where it is) but yeah suckers, you get paid less, bwah hah hah.

Electric vehicles have to pay the cost of old fossil fuelers for TEN YEARS, spare parts, keep those plants going, infernal combustion bits. Technically it is better investment to actively subsidise vehicle conversion kits. The electric motor is much smaller and so batteries can go around the motor and of course a double thick pack where the fuel tank used to be, probably beef up the suspension.

New electric vehicles have to do it the hard way and conversion kits get all the government subsidies whether by the manufacturer or after market, get some competition going.

It is not so much a chip shortage as a chips used by electric vehicles shortage, all the manufacturers jump into the market near the same time, all worried about shortages, buy like crazy and create shortage. No so much Chinese electric vehicles, they have got plenty of chips. Hows that outsourcing working for you now, yankee dog ;DDD.

Of course if you already had the alpha variant the delta is not problem for you what so ever. The vaccine apparently not so much. Had it last year in march, suckers. Everyone was saying want to get it get the first one not the mutations, the mutations are always worse. Well, I'm set, mildest infection I ever had that lasted that long 8 days odd. Lamda even worse, so booster for you lot for life and those who already had it, they are set.

Why take any chances what so ever, get this https://www.securityprousa.com... instead full face ballistic helmet with googles, don't let no virus laden bullets get by your face mask.

Probably better to design smarter wind turbines that make more effective use of the air at different levels and the wind farm functions as a whole and minimises social impact. Back to the drawing board, large propellers always seemed really dumb. Vertical axis makes more sense.

Who is kidding who, corruption created that contract and corruption signed off on it. They don't care how well it works, as long as they spend a whole lot less on it than they charged and they will make it as bad as they can get away with and charge extra, any time they can.

The NSA as supplied by Amazon, who is in charge, the US government or Amazon. Should have been done all in house, trained up staff. So many leaks, all because, Amazon will absolutely do the cheapest worst possible job it can get away with, it's called profit (security can not be contracted out, the concept is stupid, they will always provide the least amount of security possible, failure acceptable as long as it is within contract, as in contracted to fail every single time). This time the contract will work for sure, yep, uh huh.

They can fail on purpose charge more and that is OK as long as they can bend that contract enough and penalties are less than profits and no executives ever goes to jail. China and Russia probably breathing a sigh of relief and trying to figure out which corporate executives to bribe 'er' buy their artwork 'er' put them on boards of corporations 'er' have completely honest meetings in Tax Havens 'er' sign a consulting contract with, ALL OF THE ABOVE

The AI system would be designed to record calls and flag any that a correctional services officer needs to listen to because they indicate a crime being planned.

Really prisoners should not be allowed to initiate calls but only receive them, except to professionals on a specific list, including their lawyers. They should all have their own room and each cluster of rooms should exceed 20 prisoners and they should have no contact with the rest of the prison population, better for control and training, a classroom for adults who don't know how to adult properly.

Most communications should be between them and the correctional services network, where they can interact with appropriate software. Educational, socialising, safe games that promote proper activities, behaviour modifying content for positive reinforcement.

They should not have internet access to the outside world, beyond that correctional services network that promotes good rehabilitation outcomes and low recidivism. The computer screen and input should be inside the single occupant room for maximum accessibility and to promote positive interactions with the system.

There as it turns out should be quite a bit of AI in prisons, to manage the information load for properly trained and qualified correctional services officers, to assist them in teaching adults how to adult properly. Not punish them like animals to make them worse animals.

I do not get why Google is focused on a watch, makes no sense with their track record, shouldn't a choker be more appropriate, strapped around the neck and not removable. Surely that is more Google's style, gold plated slave collar, call it jewellery and give it away free and the sheeple will let you lock them in it permanently. Disconnect from google, what, did you lose your head, better reconnect slaveOS 'er' wearOS before it is too late and you do lose your head.

I am making the switch to Linux for all smart devices, I ain't stupid. I'll bet Google wants their piece of the prison industrial complex, slave collars 'er' correctional services protective devices to protect inmates from each other not for guards to play with prisoners with whilst the guards masturbate.
