Excess CO2 is wreaking havoc on our planet and quickly getting worse. Why wouldn’t we try to pull it out of the atmosphere?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’ll avoid this community for now, but maybe in the future I’ll try again.

Thanks for the answer. I’m not going to respond after all the downvotes, seems like a discouraging community I don’t need to participate in.

I have no evidence, just a general thought that there are millions of years of evolution behind the umbilical cord staying intact for longer than a minute after birth. Some people want to leave it on for a week, why? Maybe that’s a useful instinct.

Why not a middle ground of like a day?

Collider?? I barely know her!

The one and only. Pour one out for the homie that damaged it’s rotor blades.

It’s bigger than just Citizens United. That allows dark money to enter campaigns through super PACs that aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates but absolutely do.

Even more concerning is malicious foreign actors using shills and bots to sway public opinion. An especially useful tool for authoritarian states that don’t have much oversight and want to erode democracies.

And social media propaganda… and just social media on general.

You must work for the Kremlin.

Then driving is immoral because it’s dangerous. Cars kill way more people than butt sex, tell them they’re not allowed to drive anymore.

Also, no more ice cream, just look say how many people die annually because of diabetes.

Yes. Please ban ICE cars.

Good. Grid reliability is more critical than most people realize, and it’s been getting less reliable.

Putin and his asshole authoritarian allies are challenging US/EU global leadership. They need an “enemy” so their people don’t realize they are the enemy.

Thermometer reading vs perceived temperature? Factoring in wind-chill, humidity, etc with “Realfeel” or some other estimate.

Sure, being addicted to staring at a small screen in your hand means less physical activity and more heart disease. Also, the constant propaganda and focus on negative news can increase cortisol and blood pressure.

Your English is good.

Honestly I suspect the countries supporting Ukraine are the ones dragging it out. Russia is getting it’s military destroyed.

Five digit numbers of armored vehicles gone, around a thousand aircraft, incredibly expensive and irreplaceable military equipment in flames, and many men never coming home.

Russia is hurting because of this war, so from a certain cold-hearted utilitarian perspective the war is a good thing. Someone living somewhere like Latvia, and old enough to remember how badly the Russians treated them during the USSR, would see their military getting destroyed as a blessing even if they were sad to see the Kremlin leaving a trail of bodies through Donbas.

People act like Russia can just keep on fighting because of it’s larger population, but it was having serious demographic trouble before this even started. Whereas Ukrainians have a just cause, and they’re defending their homes and families.

“Nasa unveils quiet supersonic aircraft in effort to revive commercial flights”

Title of the article and this post.

Yeah, it takes incredible amounts of energy just to move unarmored ships slowly around our own solar system.

Seems like adding armor would make them so heavy and slow that they wouldn’t be worth using.

How about a railgun with a nuclear payload? Breach the hull and the nuke would work again
