The great filter is here. Time to see if this global civilization and shrink its ego enough to fit through it.

When it comes to aviation in general — something only a small share of the world’s population takes part in — it contributes roughly 2.5 per cent of all CO2 emissions and has thus far contributed to roughly four per cent of global warming.

haha

“Ignore the 892 Mt CO2, focus on the 15.6 Mt CO2!”

(from the paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01775-z )

also this:

Global commercial aviation is estimated to have emitted 892–936 Mt carbon dioxide (CO2) in 20191,2,3 and is responsible for about 4% of global net anthropogenic effective radiative forcing4,5.

The invention of airplanes was a mistake that needs to be reversed urgently.

Where are the tractor protestors now?

Trump is still pink white. The makeup perhaps functions like the masks that entertainment wrestlers wear.

I’ve seen a lot of terrible things.

I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.

The same to you then.

You remind me of the people who complain about talk of gun regulations after mass shootings.

I’ll shut up when we mourn the death and maiming caused by the use of cars.

Did you mean “burn it to the edges!” ?

“We must prioritize policies that protect our economy and our way of life. CO2 is an essential nutrient for mass, driving growth and boosting plant production. According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide,” said a UCP member speaking in favour of the policy who cited the notorious CO2 Coalition.

Well, that is the core of conservatism (the first bit).

The flaming leopards are going to become obese.

The UN seems to be running out of vocabulary to describe how serious the danger is.

“they should’ve sent a poet”

Writing code is bad!

Writes condensed configurations and properties files in 3 different languages instead. Cloud deployment uses yet another source of configurations and properties.

Doesn’t write documentation for configuration and properties.

Ah, yes, that’s much more readable.

A lot of redevelopment and migration is needed.

Different study:

Early-life microbiota seeding and subsequent development is crucial to future health. Cesarean-section (CS) birth, as opposed to vaginal delivery, affects early mother-to-infant transmission of microbes. Here, we assess mother-to-infant microbiota seeding and early-life microbiota development across six maternal and four infant niches over the first 30 days of life in 120 mother-infant pairs. Across all infants, we estimate that on average 58.5% of the infant microbiota composition can be attributed to any of the maternal source communities. All maternal source communities seed multiple infant niches. We identify shared and niche-specific host/environmental factors shaping the infant microbiota. In CS-born infants, we report reduced seeding of infant fecal microbiota by maternal fecal microbes, whereas colonization with breastmilk microbiota is increased when compared with vaginally born infants. Therefore, our data suggest auxiliary routes of mother-to-infant microbial seeding, which may compensate for one another, ensuring that essential microbes/microbial functions are transferred irrespective of disrupted transmission routes. https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(23)00043-4

I was already thinking of the tree paper mafia and their conflict with hemp.

This better not lead to some Eugenics AI.
