a good developing example for anyone delusional enough to try and pretend we are going to do the right thing or the optimal thing or escape this is definitely that Arizona stuff. We COULD shut down only the golf courses to save a hundred million gallons of potable water a day. We are going to have fights in our government about saving these patriotic American businesses in the year 2021 and shitloads of money will be spent to preserve them. They will only stop operating when the water is gone or the environment is so inhospitable it makes their existence impossible no matter how much water you use. but i have a feeling we will just build golf domes Rectal Death Adept has issued a correction as of 18:05 on Oct 9, 2021 |

Cabbages and Kings posted:also do things like Ethical Crypto where your mining rig actually heats your house and then you use all the money you saved to set up a nonprofit that buys AR15s* for homeless leftists to defend themselves in the desert of the future. That seems more practical than anything D&D has come up with and this is a forum full of nerds with RTX cards going into the winter months This is a horrible idea. In the wide open spaces of the treeless desert you want a long range platform on .308 or bigger, the guys with 5.56 AR15s will be the first to die.

Google said quote:The records show 219 golf courses across Arizona used a total of 119,478 acre-feet of water in 2019. The average amount of water used per course was 504 acre-feet during the year, or about 450,000 gallons a day.Jun 14, 2021 I forgot to x365 so 35,970,750,000 gallons of water a year for golf in Arizona

You dont even need to ruin all zillion acres, just get a shovel and dig up the greens and the old men will cancel their tee times and play at their friends courses until its fixed cause they cant stand the idea of putting on a chalk circle at the end of the fairway like its the middle of winter

Just go golfing on the course yourself, bring a camelbak full of gasoline, and spray a penis on each of the greens as you play. No muss no fuss plenty of other people will go through before the grass visibly dies

No muss no fuss plenty of other people will go through before the grass visibly dies use sodium hydroxide in water instead no smell, and MUCH more effective. a friend in VA dumped a gallon of lye water in his yard after making DMT once in 2010 and there was just a permanent dead spot there for the next four years until he moved elsewhere. guessing it's still there

Why Everything is Suddenly Getting More Expensive — And Why It Won’t Stop Thread readers will recall that I've been talking endlessly to anyone who will listen about the idea of externalized costs of production for years and years, and yet somehow it has never occurred to me to view the price tag associated with climate disruption as the debt incurred by those same costs circling back around and coming due. I've always assumed that debt would be reflected purely as damage or a body count, or the spiralling degredation of our environment. Since these costs will be imposed on us by forces out nature outside our control, at random, and largely cannot be mitigated (or, if they are, only at tremendous expense) - there's really no way to avoid the impact this will have on our economy and the cheap production it has relied on for a century to maintain social order via price incentives. Obivously, things really are being propped up solely by the vast scale of the repo operations every major central bank is now doing nightly - to balance the continually increasing liquidity they're pumping in on the other end to prevent this situation from cooking off. Up from a few billion in the fall of 2019 to almost $2 Trillion, every night, in the USA alone now. Elegant, simple, extremely alarming. It's like a light-bulb was just switched on in my head. This is the bowtie on the argument that growth consumer capitalism was only possible in a similarly boundless world, and now that we've hit and grossly exceeded the resource & environmental bounds of our own world an economic phase-change being forced on us is unavoidable. Article just ties the whole room together, extremely pro-click.
