The Mars rover's MOXIE experiment proved that we can (a) sequester CO2 from the atmosphere...hell, we did it on another planet even. So, why not build huge MOXIE stations here, say 4 on each continent, and start pulling CO2 from the air, releasing the oxygen, converting the CO via H2O reaction to methane, then storing the methane for other uses. Hell, we could even burn off the methane, which produces water vapor and CO2, and the CO2 could be fed back into the system. Expensive? Yep! But expense is meaningless when the alternative is we all die. Choose one.

May I submit: An Abyss of Black Holes.

THIS is why lobbying needs to be outlawed. Who do these fucks work for? PROTIP: it's not us.

That will be all the "proof" companies like Nestle will require to say "See? It's not a 'right' to water, it's a product!" And the cost will increase because...F U... that's why.

Burner phone costs you, what, $10?

They keep "fact checking him," which is a nice way of saying he's tired of being called out on his BS and lies. And he doesn't like it. This is just Don loving on Don. This motherfucker is the modern Narcissus.

After we turn socialist overnight what then?

The joke is that those who are afraid of "turning socialist" are completely ignorant of what socialism actually is, let alone characteristics of other political/socioeconomic philosophies. In their world of alternative facts, all they know is a cartoon beatbox version of socialism, where no one owns anything and the government takes away everyone's freedom to do whatever you want.

It is not possible to have a rational constructive discussion with folks who don't care about facts and who do not care to learn said facts. "Biden hates America" and "Obama was born in Kenya" are opinions that are neither based in reality nor serious.

"Trump said he was going to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it. He didn't do either" is based upon facts and reality.

One of my younger siblings got it at work and infected their immediate family (spouse, kids). Our elderly mom (who suffers from a number of respiratory ailments) missed getting it by one day: she normally wouldve had dinner at their house the day after their symptoms manifested. It wouldve have most certainly killed her.

Having seen what they went through—COVID isnt “just a flu”; whoever says is lying or galactically stupid—I have zero empathy for anyone who isnt taking this seriously, whether through ignorance or willing delusion.

You want to go to CES or any other large gathering? Please proceed.

You want to ignore the threat because Fox “News” says it is overblown, a liberal plot, or a False Flag? Please proceed.

You want to “reopen the economy” because you want to be able to go to the bar for a pint? Please proceed.

I will not gloat if you get it. I will not have any sympathy, either.

Who the fuck modded this retardation "Informative"?

Life, ... uh,...finds a way.

They said they were going to remove content that violated WHO recommendations.... Well, conspiracy-theory crap is definitely something that I'm sure the WHO is against. So, YT should just delete the channels spreading this junk and be done with it. Problem solved.

We have the technological capability RIGHT NOW to suck the CO2 right out of the atmosphere and sequester it. Every continent, every nation, needs to build these atmosphere processors to do just that. Imagine, Russia with a thousands of them. Imagine the US and Canada with an equal number. Think the same for Australia (hello to my down-under friends), and Africa with so many it would be hard to count. The building of these processors will take time, yes, and resources--a lot--but the truth of the matter is clear: Do nothing, we all die; do something we all might live. Get them designed, get them built. Do it now and power the things up. There are jobs there--countless jobs--we can make "Saving the planet for human habitation" as the start of the next several centuries' economy of the world.

That'll show 'em!

I never really understood why we "fell back" to standard time during winter,

I do. They tried not falling back one year in 1974. We schoolkids had to walk to school in the dark. It was no big deal for me at the time, as school was 5-6 blocks away.

But all the parents freaked out ("Little Johnny will get hit by a car!"*) and that was the end of it.
