Comment Re:NOT LUNAR SOIL (Score 1) 92

"Superfood" has got to be one of the stupidest words in existence. If I had to pick one plant to live the rest of my life on, potato would be high on the list. So-called superfoods like blueberry or kale wouldn't even make the running. What's better than any superfood? Having a large variety of not superfoods.

Then we might call this progress beyond McMoon fries.

Well, yes, we certainly can make potatoes a lot less healthy by shoving them in a vat of vegetable oil and cooking it at high heat for a lovely combo of unhealthy fats, as well as boiling out as much vitamin C as possible. It would be a logistical nightmare to bring enough oil to Mars or the Moon though.

The same way I wrote university essays. I write from my understanding and memory of what happened and how things worked. I then identified presumptions in the writing. I then searched for references that backed them up. Sometimes that would prove my understanding wrong and I'd have to rewrite bits.

Sorry, but, the US has spent much more on aggressive actions than any sort of defense since WWII. DoW is more accurate, though I wish they would behave more like a defense force.

Denying reality and thinking it really is about defense is more in line with being a fascist collaboration in my opinion.

You missed the rest of my sentence where I said ChatGPT was used as a tool. I'll admit that AI could be a catalyst in speeding up suicide - to the point where if it hadn't been there the persons mind MIGHT have changed before they figured out how to suicide - but it's pretty retarded to think it's a cause of suicide.

Your crime against semantics has been noted. OP didn't nitpick vocabulary at all. I think the real harm is that we've been taught that it's OK to be offended by words. Also, no one is committing suicide because of ChatGPT - he used that as a tool. If it wasn't there he would have found a way regardless.

Whether or not something is bad for the environment has nothing to do with whether or not it is science. Also, the environment/climate will do just fine with heaps of CO2 and rising sea levels. Whether particular species (such has humans) do okay, is a different story. CO2 does not cause climate 'breakdown', it encourages climate change. I'm not sure what it would mean for the climate to 'break down'.

The question that matters here is what is worse for the environment (in terms of human-preferred environment) between the polystyrene and the (likely tiny amounts) of CO2? Turning something bad into something less bad is still a win.

I mostly agree with what you said, but

Little nitpick - houses are held together with nails because they are good enough and are cheaper than screws (slightly in manufacturing costs, and hugely in time spent during construction). Screws would be a lot better, and also make dismantling sections a bit easier.
