@fsd_clips Always wondered how FSD would work on some of the country roads in Ireland. Some almost too tight to get a Skoda through, but still have two-way traffic.
@Electroversenet True. For the most part. It was even warmer during the Eocene and CO2 was much higher, at over 1000 ppm. Orbital changes are cyclical, geological changes are predictable. But there are 8.3 billion humans that need greater environmental control for sustainable agriculture.
@DawnsMission The 6 foot came from a 1934 Harvard School of Public Medicine that studied how long for water droplets of various sizes to hit the floor from a height of 6 feet. Most officials stated SARS was spread by droplets. But small droplets do evaporate and remain in air as aerosols.
@Electroversenet Climate Alarmist or Climate Denialist, all can agree on three things: (1) global temperature has been increasing, (2) atmospheric CO2 has been increasing, and (3) petroleum is a finite resource. Related or not, humanity must migrate to renewables and needs a global plan.
@TheEconomist Sad. If energy production was a auto race, this president has chosen to sit in the pit stop and wait to see who wins. China, however, has invested heavily in renewables and electrification, choosing instead to not be held hostage to petroleum. And the checkered flag goes to?
@FT Of course he knew. To gain enough support to level and annex Gaza, he needed it to violently play out so no one would question him. Same as United States in WW II, Pearl Harbor: US military knew in advance, but by allowing it to play out, the course of WW II was forever changed.
@MarsUniversityX True. AI agents are exceptionally good at regenerative work where a large data set exists, including what you would think of such as accounting, but also architectural design, interior design, diagnostic image analysis, etc. Saves an unbelievable number of human hours.
@MiltonFriedmanW Tax policy should contain a level of income tax (PIT), and include consumption (VAT), corporate (CIT), social security, property, energy, and excise (tarrifs). This is used to balance with proper gov't spending (no waste). Adjust each for income levels to stimulate GDP growth.
@MarsUniversityX AI agents (LLMs) are simple programs that are largely statistics driven. Lies are not inherently part of the program, however, if the statistically correct answer or path to the answer includes deception, then, no surprise, that is what is done to facilitate the best solution.
@ZelenskyyUa This "act of terror" is based on the principle of Asymmetric Advantage: weaker irregular Russian forces or as in Iran, proxy groups, utilize low-cost, high-impact methods (like civilian bombings) because they cannot match a state's (Ukraine's) conventional military strength.
@MyLordBebo Sad, but not surprising. Renewable capacity in Germany expanded much faster than the national electricity grid could be reinforced, leaving gigawatts of solar infrastructure stuck waiting for grid connections. Lesson for suppliers: grid must accompany renewable sources.
@ALScyborg Before modern BEV, I believed EVs would come to exist with quick-change battery power packs, not unlike propane cylinders. The power pack price is energy plus small rental fee. China has begun this enabling EV charging to be automated and faster than refueling with petrol.
@robinmonotti#EarthEngineering Another perspective on climate change. Still same outcome: planetary warming. Small changes in CO2 can affect infrared absorbtion: change it and modulate the outcome. Makes sense that we can adjust for other planetary affects. Why not try?
Climate in motion:
The shifting bell curve ... dancing as the planet overheats.
Building more climate visualizations at Celsius Earth to keep track of our planet's "heart beat" w/EKG and pulse.

@PeterDClack I've driven BEV for a while. GHG payback occurred about 1.5 years. I charge at home. Savings cover the cost of BEV over ICE in about 3 years. Comparing upside factors to downside, BEV is clear winner. Also, Tesla trucks will be a national trend. Who would oppose a better world?
@visegrad24 It is not Spain. Nor Italy. Both have the misfortune of proximity to northern Africa. Migrants depart their home for a reason. War, environmental disaster, and poor governmental management will inevitably drive a majority of the population to depart for a hope of a better future.
@IEA Very true. The report is on point. However, while providing information, it also needs to provide policy guidance and a roadmap for a solution. What is the desired outcome and how do you get there?
@elonmusk Concur. Don't forget that 'mandate' is to operate morally and justly, including caring for the people of this world and safeguarding any xenobiology we should encounter.
@BernieSanders If this is considered necessary, then the tax code is unbalanced. Top earners always pay most of the taxes. Why not fix the tax code to levy the correct types and percentages then ensure responsible spending? P.S. there is an AI that can determine what that is.
