I was thinking Horizon Zero Dawn project "Chariot"

The ullage tanks are inside of the other tanks, and the others most probably are too. We know this because it got them in trouble with one of the early launches when the carbon fiber overwrap on the tank sparked inside of the oxygen tank due to expansion and caused a big boom (RUD).

And in the trades it's the exact opposite, severe shortage of people who know what to do and aren't afraid to get dirty and sweat. Especially in the high skill trades like electricians and HVAC.

Generation ships will undoubtedly come first, and probably won't be up to our current, north American, standards of living.

Google/Alphabet have had a free pass for a long time because they have provided expansive intelligence gathering to the US Government. Make me wonder about apple...

We operate at the APEX of the trapezoid of profit..

Making fertilizer and then burning it? Been doing it for DECADES. Ever hear of ETHANOL?

But the purchase can be traced back to time and date, and Walmart and most malls have cameras everywhere... Sprinkle in a little facial recognition tech from your favorite alphabet soup agency and you can probably nail down the identity of the purchaser. And this can be further corroborated with logs of SIM card and/or wifi connections in the area. It's *a lot* harder to be anonymous than you think it is. Even if you pay someone to buy it for you they can probably pick your picture out when they are detained for "questioning".

Ever hear of Malthus? Extrapolating growth at the current rate and with current constraints often leads to predictions of doom. We need more people like Lawrence Borlaug to help instead of Malthus studying tea leaves and predicting doom. We all know that we're doomed, ain't nobody getting out alive in the end, but we can adapt and change and do something amazing in the meantime!

Stop worry about those problems and *get the investors to shower us with money*...

Lies: https://phys.org/news/2018-03-... "Barack Obama made extensive use of the social network in 2008 and stepped up "micro-targeting" in his 2012 re-election effort." Whether the effort was as extensive as Cambridge Analytics we will probably never know, but I guarantee that it's been done by both side to polarize voters using trigger topics such as gun control or abortion.

The trouble is not everywhere has the swiss Alps to use for an elevation gradient. And the hard facts are that the places getting wind and solar installations are on flat and open expanses of land.

What a generation. It used to be that if you wanted to go out in a blaze of glory you'd pick up the waitress from the truck stop on go on a string of multi state robberies at gas stations. ðY(TM)

COVID and big pharma

Probably a one liter, still popular in Latin America. Everything seems bigger when you're a kid.
