Almost guarantee they are Westside.

I like how when you put the two candidates into 8th grade level language, the differences become so stark. There really isn’t room for additional interpretation.

Also, I’m not surprised its Kapolei parents getting outraged at this, things get fairly red once you get out of Honolulu and especially as you get onto the West Side. You’ll see a Trump flag being towed along side a Kanaka Maoli flag, a back the blue flag, AND a Hawaiian kingdom flag. I’m glad to see the DOE not budging on this.

Its just important to put the marks down on (digital) paper that it did not happen in a vacuum.

They were presented with alternative ways of approaching these issues and rejected them.

Well they just don’t want to be confronted with their own contradictions.

Sure. But as soon as some research group develops a work-around for competitive inhibition, well then, we might all be well and truly fucked. It would be an adaptation like the development of woody tissue before the advent of wood decomposing organisms. Basically, plants evolved to become trees, and CO2 went “I guess I’ll be heading out”, which was the time period where basically ALL fossil coal was laid down.

So while this finding seems interesting on its own merit, its not going to start an ice-age.

There is a world where some lab finally “solves” the rubisco “issue”, and an algae escapes containment only to gobble up all the CO2 on the planet in a matter of decades and throw us into an ice-ball planet scenario, reminiscent of Cats Cradle (see the cat? see the cradle?).

I’ve been trying o1 preview for a few weeks.

Wowza what a clownshow. Can I please just have 3.5 without guardrails?

Turns out land is still cheap and sunlight still generally free.

gif got me like:

You just get started. Its part of the reason I’ve always preferred either forums or fark/ digg/ reddit/ lemmy style conversations.

Also, writing is a skill. You get better at it with time. Its like how a TV show host can just ‘riff’ on a topic. I think responding to comments has definitely improved my ability to write in particular style (engaging/ proactive/ enthusiastic, whatever.).

It also helps to be familiar with markdown, as good formatting makes the writing more satisfying.

What we’re experiencing right now is basically the impact of around 1.5 degrees. All of that is basically from very old emissions. We’re on the hook for at least a couple more degrees, but its not like we’ve even slowed or stopped the rate of emissions, so perhaps even more than that.

The impacts of these forcings won’t be linear.

This is a way to shut down political discourse so it can be managed more centrally. We’re seeing it on YT, as well as FB. The goal is to effectively shut down any kind of “un-managed” discourse from emerging by effectively de-monetizing any kind of political news or information. The online news industry is literally collapsing and there seems to be a ‘collapsing towards corporate news only’ effort being made. Advertisers don’t want their brands next to “problematic” content; but this is a both-sidings of an issue, as if lgbtq+ rights are somehow contemporaneous with right-wing conspiracy bullshit. It goes more broadly to any socially good, motivated effort to educate people about their rights being equivocated with some of the worst aspect of human nature we see being promoted from right-wing sources.

I think we all as a broader community have to address the question of costs of what it takes to get people to become politically informed versus the reality of bad faith actors, state agent propaganda, and misinformation.
