Just so we all remember, Mass Extinctions usually don't mean anything like all species on earth dying. Like, even the big ones killed max like 75% of genera. We won't end life on earth unless we do a very impressive nuclear war or hit a runaway heating threshold that turns Earth basically into Venus, neither of which is even remotely likely. Possibly more sadly, all signs appear to be pointing towards most stuff staying alive and just suffering.

Only four Republican Senators need to vote no in order to kill the bill. With two—Tillis and Paul—already saying they will oppose it, that leaves just two more Senators. Murkowski and Curtis are considered the most likely to oppose the anti-renewable provisions, according to one Senate staffer we spoke to.

They had better not pass this...

No?

I'm sorry, but if that's the only route you can imagine, I'm sorry to say that if collapse is the answer, we're gonna get into the runaway heating zone first and take everyone else out with us.

I don't think that's what's gonna happen. I think we might get close, but I think that at the rate we're going, we avoid that. Not that we don't have some civilization collapse, but not total.

I assume you don't know what the original joke is? The original is, in fact, a graph, this is a joke from a movie called Crocodile Dundee, where a guy pulls a knife on the main character, who proceeds to go "that's not a knife" and pull out the largest bladed weapon that could still be considered a knife and says "this, is a knife."

Hope this was helpful and that I'm not explaining something you already know.

Not quite a full 20%, but yeah, in your situation, that's a big longevity problem. This data is obviously better for people not living in very hot climates. It looks like the first graph (which the 1.8% average is pulled from) is keeping climate constant (and probably temperate.)

That's insane. No company should be allowed to produce that much waste. Yes, I mean that they should be responsible for the fact that all their clothes get thrown away.

This is great

I attended my local no kings protest as well. Glad to be part of it, somewhat disturbed by the amount of pro military messaging I saw though.

This is the big thing, monocropping is the big problem with lawns (outside of the literal desert.)

Epic! I hope to be able to ditch my car in the next two years, and I've mostly stopped eating meat too, and I haven't turned my AC/Heat on since February (and then not for long.) I feel like taking the kind of steps needed to drastically reduce your share of emissions is easier than a lot of people make it out to be. (Though obviously it depends on life circumstances.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, obviously you can't blame one individual. Only a ton of individuals in aggregate. That's why its important to change the behavior of large swathes of people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, this is a big thing. We really should be trying to replace as much air travel as possible with trains (cause they can be electric,) but otherwise there's not a whole lot we can do in the "making traveling very long distances in a reasonable time energy efficient" space.

Two weeks ago I bought a gallon of pickles, because I thought: Oh, that'll last me a while and its only $7 and I can use the jar for something after. It did not last me a while, but I can still use the jar IG. The only remaining decision is what for? My thought is to store beans in it (so that the beans don't have to be stored up high to be away from mice and so I can do a custom blend more easily, and then if I got a second gallon jar (of pickles or otherwise) I could use that as a dedicated bean soaking vessel, which would make it easier to remember to get beans soaking) or use it for making/storing lemonade (tight sealing lid makes the mixing easier, I can just shake it.) But I wasn't just going to commit to something without asking for recommendations.

Before you ask, no, there's no chance I'll use it for making pickles, I would never want to make that many at a time (though I definitely will get a smaller pickle jar for making fridge pickled onions).

Also, new here, how do yáll normally capture posts longer than a full screen, cause chopping them up into multiple screenshots looks bad to me.
