Just to be clear, this information is from a survey done in 2016? As in it was already discovered years ago, it's just that the paper presenting the results of the study/survey was published recently.

Has there been anything recent published about the grand solar minimum that is supposedly going to happen or is happening? Everything I saw about it suggests that it would throw off the timetable by a couple of years.

People seemed to have lived through the psychological horror of nuclear annihilation without completely falling apart. That was far more real and present than climate change. There probably won't be too many doomsday preppers until it's already too late and the supply chains and systems that keep urban centers alive have collapsed.

Torpor posted:this story makes me laugh cause Nona is evidently the only motherfucker in the story who knows what they are doing, and is trying to look after Rue even when she doesn’t have to, but Rue wants to strangle her. lmao what? Nona is insulated by privilege and luck. Her character is a stand-in for the baby boomer generation of America. She got to enjoy the world when it was good, and still manages to be more comfortable than everyone else when everything is falling apart through sheer luck. She is completely ignorant of the suffering in the world and can sleep well at night because of it. Rue wants to strangle her because she is the symbol of ideology that ensured her childhood is so miserable. It's not even subtext. The subtext is that Nona is a huge piece of poo poo because she is a loving landlord and kicks out an entire family on a whim. Along with her job being to pave over all the psychological suffering and horror in the world through drugs as part of some ritual to keep the crumbling system going. It's not a good story, but missing the point doesn't help.

Nuclear holocaust is still on the table. It doesn't have to be genocide, most of humanity can just die in short enough order that it would be pointless to try and figure out who is ethnically cleansing who.

Cars kinda suck, there's problems besides them burning dinosaur juice. There's some lovely social aspects like road rage and drunk driving, probably some others. They pollute in ways besides just exhaust, like say break dust. There's other problems with cars and America being built around the personal car that won't be fixed by switching to electric engines.

mdemone posted:oh now I'm gonna rip up your mind. This is where theoretical physics gets very unsatisfying. There's a lot of interesting thought experiments and theories, they however have no consequence on the material reality that anyone experiences. It makes no difference at all if there is no such thing as time, or if it's one single immutable block, or we are just traveling a long a space time plane. We are still bound to the emergent property of reality that we call time.

Rah! posted:article says its methane pockets exploding as the earth eventually weakens from the pressure below It's a very poorly written article and it's not very clear. Presumably the pictures of the craters with water in them were just filled with ice. The article refers to the scientist, or someone, observing the explosion of gas in real time. But they don't really provide any additional evidence to support that or indicate which craters were caused by explosion and which by collapse.

mdemone posted:read Metzinger I tried, it's just so tedious. Being No One is incomprehensible with all the philosophical jargon. Ego Tunnel is for layman but he spends too much time trying to make his conclusions seem more plausible with sophistry. His starting points seem interesting and well thought-out but his conclusions and explanations seem lacking. Although he did manage to convince me of two things. That it's an interesting to think of people as computational systems constantly trying to solve themselves and failing because it's physically impossible. And that goon who suggested to practice meditation was absolutely right.

Milo and POTUS posted:How long did the KT extinction take in comparison No idea. Wikipedia is claiming it could have been less than 10,000 years. This study is looking at a slightly larger time frame. According to their results the rate of extinction picks up around 60,000 years ago and goes up. So a good deal slower than just earth getting smacked by an asteroid.

Mayor Dave posted:Begun, the water wars have very  quote:Since February, when federal forces first occupied the dam to ensure water deliveries to the United States continued, activists in Chihuahua have burned government buildings, destroyed cars and briefly held a group of politicians hostage. For weeks, they’ve blocked a major railroad used to ferry industrial goods between Mexico and the United States. Edit quote:Francisco Marta, a 23-year-old who manages his father’s corn and alfalfa fields, suspects that his fellow farmers don’t have the Mexican president’s sympathies in the water dispute because they are generally not members of his poor and working class political base. The farmers live in the north, traditionally a stronghold of the conservative opposition against Mr. López Obrador, who ran on a leftist platform.

BIG HEADLINE posted:The chance of collision is "greater than 10%" now with a projected miss distance of ~12m, which I believe means distance from the CG of both objects, so given their size there's a chance of a glancing hit. quote:A "search-mode scan" scheduled for shortly after the close approach should reveal if a collision did in fact occur, LeoLabs said in another tweet. And we should all keep our fingers crossed for a near miss; a smashup would likely result in a "significant (10 to 20 percent) increase in the LEO debris environment," McDowell said in another tweet. ("LEO" stands for "low Earth orbit.")
