@whatever One person’s dating decisions does not form any type of consensus that can be conferred to an entire population. People like who they like. That’s all this is.
@ridgewallet Honestly, bought the ridge and hated it. N this is only good if you carry no more than 2 credit cards. Simply because I still, had drivers license, insurance cards, membership cards, etc.
@WallStreetApes The money is a small part of their comp package. In California, our superintendents will receive that compensation in their retirement plus cost of living.
ChatGPT: Volcanic activity can reduce global warming temporarily by injecting aerosols (primarily sulfur dioxide, SO₂) into the stratosphere, where they form sulfate particles that reflect sunlight back into space, causing surface cooling.
⸻
🌋 How It Works:
• Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gas is emitted during large explosive eruptions.
• In the stratosphere, SO₂ reacts with water vapor to form sulfuric acid aerosols.
• These aerosols form a hazy layer that scatters solar radiation, reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface.
• Cooling effect is global, especially for equatorial eruptions.
⸻
🌡️ How Much Is Needed to Cool the Planet by 1°F?
Let’s use historical examples to estimate:
Mount Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991)
• Ejected about 20 million tons (20 megatons) of SO₂.
• Caused ~0.5°C (0.9°F) global cooling for 1–2 years.
• The cooling peaked in the 12–18 months following the eruption.
So roughly:
20 Mt SO₂ → ~0.9°F cooling
This implies that to cause ~1°F of global cooling, you’d need on the order of 20–25 million tons of SO₂ injected into the stratosphere, not just released near the ground.
Note: The ash itself settles quickly and has a minor short-term effect. It’s the SO₂-driven aerosols that matter most.
⸻
⏳ How Long Could It Last?
• The stratospheric aerosols typically last 1–3 years before settling out.
• Most of the cooling effect fades within 2 years.
• No permanent change to CO₂ levels or long-term warming trajectory.
Literally the two most stupidest arguments against this. If you only made $6,920/year, you’re not surviving today on your own. 2nd, unemployment income is capped at $450/wk & paid at 50% of prior earnings. To file for UI, you must have made $7,000/year and would receive a $134 weekly benefit. If you are not taxed on tips, you can easily replace these meager amounts.
