Russia would have an epileptic wargasm if it could control Greenland. Why hasn't Russia bought Greenland? Is it because Denmark is a NATO country, and would never sell to Russia? Ok.

If Greenland were part of a country where Russia had more influence, Russia's agenda could be advanced more realistically.

I've been running linix on my C720P for years. I have separate partitions. I have it in dev mode, and use the ctrl-l legacy boot to start it up. I've never heard of "campfire". I'm posting this on it right now, in fact. This is my go-to everyday machine. I use it in chromeOS mode for word processing at work, and I boot into linux for dev work and other fun stuff, the rest of the time. This better fucking not disappear in a future ChromeOS update.

It's been going on for decades because people have been educated for decades to behave in ways that enable the problem to happen. I'd argue that if people can be educated to be selfish or indifferent or apathetic at the expense of the environment, then they can similarly be educated to think and act in ways that benefit the environment. A little empathy and compassion is contagious and can go a long way towards changing the collective mindset of a culture.

I'm not saying that you couldn't engineer a solution that would mitigate some of the effects of the current damage, but to me it smacks of treating symptoms while they're still being generated. And unintended consequences are a thing.

Sure, you could engineer a way to precipitate urine out of water, but seriously, just get everyone to stop pissing in the fucking pool already. Convince some people that it's bad, and get them to spread the word.
