There's roundabouts and there's Denham Roundabout (just west of London, on the M40).
Back when I lived in the area it was a perfectly normal roundabout with 5 roads leading off, two of which were slip roads to/from the M40 (it may have been the A40 then).
I was there again a few years later and each junction was a mini-roundabout and you could head clockwise on the outside or anti-clockwise on the inside, depending on whether the exit you wanted was closest going left or right. Google Maps satellite view says it's still like that now. Scary stuff for the uninitiated.
I believe there's another one like that around Swindon.

Mediterranean resorts do quite well, as I remember

Is there some racist reason in South Carolina that poor people can't move to Appalachia on the other side of the fall line?

Or, gasp, abandoning non-viable coastal cities.

Wouldn't it be better to relocate the people rather than build the sea wall, and just depopulate Charleston which is no longer viable as a city?

Too bad RFK will claim it’s biased and will switch to Grok.

RFK and most of the Trump administration don’t understand how LLMs work, they just assume it’s magically smarter than they are so they are content asking it questions and following it like an Oracle.

Nothing good will come of this. Once it tells RFK that ibuprofen causes autism and suggests putting antipsychotic meds into the water supply, he will follow it, because it’s “smarter” than he is.

There is no privacy, and privacy apps are only used by scammers and criminals anyway.

Is that you, RFK?

Whatsapp offers the following settings:

Who can see my Profile Photo
- Everyone
- My contacts
- My contacts except...
- Nobody

I think the default is Everyone.

There is also a setting for "who can see my Live Location", Since I don't allow WhatsApp to access my location at all, that one is firmly off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injection SAI certainly does have more promise than most I've seen. Thank you for the link..

I'm all for replacing coal with nuclear, deep water siphons, tidal generators, wind, solar, and ground loop air conditioning.

All the better if it's done for the right reasons- and in a way that takes advantage of the ambient energy of the earth, rather than fossil fuels.

I just don't think you're going to stop global warming that way- at all. We've done too much damage, and it's out of our hands now.

There are sound distributist economic reasons for switching to ambient energy, not the least of which is that the grid is based in fraud.

Nothing like clicking on the wrong thing and losing the post.

What I want them to do is to use the data the IRS is already collecting quarterly if not monthly. Every legal employer is reporting, either W2 or 1099. You know down to the smallest part time job who is working legally.

You will miss illegal workers this way, but the numbers HAVE to be more accurate than surveying 60,000 households to guess at what 400,000,000 people are doing.

What is needed is telling the right story *the first time* as opposed to revising the numbers 3 months later after you've caused 3 months of people lying to the unemployed of "just get a job" when you know the jobs never existed to begin with.

Yep. I fell into level 3 in 2004 when the melting tundra ice started releasing methane in an amount that far dwarfs man-made CO2 emissions over the last 2000 years or so.

And we've now been in that positive feedback loop for 21 years (the warmer it gets, the more methane ice in the tundra melts, which worsens the carbon load of the atmosphere, which causes more global warming).

And there is NOTHING you can do to "stop global warming" at all, except maybe adjust to it by buying a bigger air conditioner for your house (or better yet, a smarter one, now that we know how ground loop heat pumps work).
