I’ll bite. I think geoengineering is the only way we solve this without going to global governance (which wouldn’t happen on time without major wars).

I’d argue that we can put solar sails/shades in the Earth-Sun L1 Lagrange point and reduce incoming sunlight be up to ~0.5%. And that it wouldn’t be that risky at all. It’d just be another mega construction project, and not a particularly nasty one even.

But I haven’t done the engineering on it. I only speak as someone who did Planetary Science in grad school, and knows a bit about orbital mechanics. I once gave a grad school level presentation on solar sails while wearing a colander on my head, so that’s exactly how hard I’ve thought about it.

If I had Elon’s money and needed a redemption arc…

Chasing the dragon again eh

There is a world where Plasma release announcements are gaming news. And we are in that world. Never would have dreamed it.

Does links count? ;)

Or old school Konqueror.

I use Firefox on my phone, and Chrome on my work computer.

Canada only has appointed judges, and their appointments are almost uniformly meritorious. It’s so much better than elected judges and keeps politics out of the Rule of Law. I think Mexico is making a mistake here. But perhaps it suits their specific needs.

The coastline there is receding, due to isostatic rebound. Actually this is true of most of the north. It’s ironic in the context of global warming that sea level rise won’t affect the north much as it melts.

We should also be able to see their eyes and mouths, no? ;)

It’s easy once you realize that it’s talking about the river – the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.

I don’t think fishing was the activity that the game was missing. But sure, why not haha 😂

They’re slowly laying the groundwork for EU5 being released. And that means slowly end-of-lifing EU4. I expect to see more and more DLC moved slowly into the core to keep people buying EU4 for a year or two.

Mods like Anbennar are doing more to keep EU4 alive than Paradox is, at this point.

No but I have an expired bottle of T3s from a wisdom tooth extraction a decade ago. What could possibly go wrong?

The original sound is indeed from the spacecraft – it’s taken from the mission control recording. However, the filter is entirely fabricated.

I try to trim them, unless on my phone

It’s so weird to see these maps of Europe. Like, all these different overlapping not quite national organizations…

EU, ESA, CERN, Eurozone, Schengen… There’s probably dozens of them haha.

No problem. We will solve our housing crisis by building everything out of concrete then – an even higher emitter.

Unrelated to the other question: any geoguesser?

My best guess is Kluane Lake, Alaska Highway through the Yukon. But Google Street view says there is more taiga there.

What does the original say? Poetry? Fanfics?

This is actually brilliant

And nothing of value was lost. Only hypothetical value ;)
