It’s a static frame, there’s no cause-effect going there. Just some zooming and moving around.

Weirdly, no, the most harmful part of the CFCs was the heavier and less reactive Cl. Turns out F is too reactive to be as harmful.

Oh, there have been plenty of proposals of solar ships atomizing salt-water around. The hard part is how to do it at scale.

Anyway, the mechanism has been known for a long time, that article is hyped on it also working at high altitude. The problem is that chlorine ions at high altitude are really not a good thing to have, so I don’t expect much to come from this.

There’s a rule saying a cockroach can not fight, but you won’t be allowed to see it because it was retconned only after the ‘Orwellian’ guy raised a challenge.

The US is a two parties system. You need to change your rules if you want anything different, not abstain from primaries.

Instead, the best place to talk about rule-changes is on your primaries.

Ever wondered where those magic numbers on that definition come from?

But no, I misremembered it, the relation between the step and a second is a coincidence. It’s the size of the meter that was decided in function of time, in the division that best approximated a step.

Both the meter and the second were created from a step length, just like the mile.

On the AI’s defense, half of it is of the kind that opens, and that half is open. No idea what’s going on the other side, though.

That, but with 800% error margins.

You communicated that part badly, your comment looks like you are saying it’s false and the only reason people believe Evangelicals want that is because of AIPAC.

I imagine it applies to the subset that travels to Europe.

I wonder what share of the population or each country can find their own country in a world map.

other nuclear powers may respond with non-nuclear weapons on the US

No country will respond with non-nuclear weapons to a country nuking another for no reason at all. That’s just asking the US to nuke them too.

If countries respond, it would be with nukes.

What? The guy just got some free time and was probably postponing that for ages.

“It’s a cease-fire, but we will keep a complete blockade of your country” isn’t a reasonable position, though.

Yes. What’s your point?

The US declared every country where a pipeline could pass from there to any large consumer as an enemy and has been trying for half a century to destroy them.

it probably predates that understanding which is only about 14 years old

Yeah, I had to check… Asterisx and Cleopatra had some dialog about how they weren’t slaves¹… Published in 1970.

I’m not sure knowledgeable people ever thought they were built by slaves.

1 - The author had some serious academic credentials.

Or every time society invents a time machine, the world ends and somebody has to come back and sabotage the effort. So humanity hits a wall in progress that it can only pass by not focusing on time-physics.

The amount of energy absorbed by the cars is the same for both drivers. (What makes that car existence a risk to both parties.)

The problem of the old car is that it transmits the extra force to the people inside in some of the worst possible ways.

Yes, the 70’s car would “win out”. Its driver, on the other hand would fare much worse than you.

Ideally, people wouldn’t treat possibly fatal transit collisions as a sports game. And also ideally, most people would see the uselessness of looking at which car is less damaged. Realistically, I know neither of those are universal, but I do hope they are common.
