I thought it was a railroad spike driving machine, not a tunnel borer

Teens will just stay up later

I assume the GP meant Android wasn't prominently on display at M$FT

Thats Mauna Loa actually. And the yearly fluctuations has everything to do with landmass. The northern Hemisphere has significantly more landmass (and therefore, biomass) to absorb the CO2 than the southern hemisphere does. We would need to somehow drastically increase the amount of biomass on the planet in order to get a reduction in CO2, and that just ins't possible

Cant dump it in the sea. In an oxygen poor environment the biomass would decompose into methane, and release to the surface. Methane has a much higher greenhouse effect than CO2, and it has a half life around 4 years as well, and decomposes into CO2 itself. We need a method to capture the CO2 but not let it be reintroduced into the carbon cycle

How are you removing the sulfuric acid version of the water cycle?

That wouldn't work. Natural processes weren't able to keep that CO2 in a gaseous state, so why would exciting them into a gaseous state somehow kickstart a natural warming cycle to sustain the molecules in that state? We'd need some chemical that has a very low freezing point that also has a strong infrared forcing. What temperatures do CFCs freeze at?

Water vapor kinda doesn't count. It is added to and removed from the atmosphere at such a rapid rate that it is hard to account for. Some areas have 0% humidity and have miniscule amounts of water vapor, whereas others are at 100% humidity and account for around 4% of local atmospheric mass. Its better to look at everything but water vapor (79% Nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases) and then check water vapor concentration. So 4% water vapor in an area leaves 96% everything else (~19% oxygen, ~76% Nitrogen)

I'm sure this is sarcasm, but for those who take it seriously, CO2 hasn't even reached the parts per thousand level, while oxygen is currently around 200 parts per thousand, or 500 times greater than CO2. So even converting all CO2 to O2 would only be a half % increase in oxygen levels at max

Are all libertarians stupid, or just you?

It doesn't matter if you tell yourself that you decided to do better for yourself. 1. Some people can't. They're not smart enough, or physically able, or what have you. 2. SOMEBODY has to do these jobs. Imagine if everyone had an advanced degree to 'better themselves'. We'd have 50 million engineers and nobody to stock our stores.

No matter the job, everyone deserves a living wage. You'd think as a libertarian, you'd be happy to get people off of welfare

Well no, not really. If there were no commercials, you'd be paying more, as the networks would charge the providers more, who would in turn charge you more

Musk has also done the calculations on the Hyperloop and we all know that will never work, yet he still hypes the shit out of it

Lyft does estimate fares. It allows passengers to tip, but it usually rounds out to about 3%, so not world shattering tipping here

T-Mobile actually has the fastest LTE network in the US

Yeah, because Piezoelectrics wouldn't be stealing the energy from the vehicles or anything...
