She's a very talented artist in a niche field. Seems rather likely her works will end up in a museum somewhere https://www.tabithaarnold.com/work/rugs

I'm sorry you lost your home. I can only imagine that being devastating. It's unfair how the crisis shakes out As others have said, California is an ecosystem used to fires. It's integral to their function. Repressed burning

Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking

Yes that's possible, but it's unclear to me how long that trend would last. The artic will be ice free in a decade or so. I've never been able to square that with the cold descending over Europe. Quite frankly, I don't h

I worry that this is the beginning of something more troubling in terms of the climate crisis. We've been lucky so far that most of the carbon budget has been spent by human activities, lucky that is because we can change that However,

It's clear you didn't read the article and don't know anything of Klint's work. I've seen her and Kandinsky's work, if anything Kandinsky is derivative of Klint, who developed her abstract style a full 5 years

Short term vs long term. Trains will always be more energy efficient than planes. Once everything become electrified, we'll need to be smarter with what we use our energy for. Does it make sense to waste it on lifting something into th

If you read the article more carefully you'd see that area in question was a marsh, making it difficult to carry. It was only used in wetter seasons. And the people who lived there did not practice agriculture

It was not dredging. It was a sophisticated structure to connect two distinct bodies of water. Per the article > "in its heyday it would have stretched a little less than a mile across most of Fort Morgan Peninsula, from Oyster Bay

This is just greenwashing so long as the source of Methane is from fossil fuels. This article is doing a lot of work to cover up this fact. The article says, "Despite the fact that natural gas is a fossil fuel, its conversion into meth

Sometimes I think people have gone too hard into behavioral economics thinking. The issue at hand isn't what is the best way to allocate resources. The issue is that we legally force children to spend all day at school 5 days a week, b

You are correct. My bad! I am unable to edit or delete that comment since too much time has passed but ncmncm is correct. I conflated Austronesian migration with Australian

I'm all for accepting evidence when it's there. I do believe humans have been highly mobile for our entire history. Hell, the ancestors of Aboriginal Australians migrated to both Australia and Madagascar, proven by the fact that M

Never heard of these glyphs in Australia before, but they seem to have been debunked as fake pretty quickly. (Sources 1, 2) That being said, Indigenous Australians of New South Wales (where these phony glyphs are) have done a lot of impress

This is wrong, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, we currently use ~38% of the earths surface for agriculture.[1] Most of that is used for pastor lands. But crops alone are 10%. Now imagine how much of the earth&#

Absolutely. Our ways of thinking about the environment are trapped in the past. Where we focus on one variable and miss the importance and resilience that comes from a holistic approach. We need to be encouraging the right ecosystems for th

Not really aware of anyone against charcoal other than the industry where we destroy american forests to make charcoal that we ship to europe to burn. Which 1) wastes energy from shipping that almost certainly isn't green and 2) destro

This really misses the point of the claim. Carbon Credits are greenwashing because as it currently exists doesn't work. And almost every approach is based an unfounded schemes. Furthermore, carbon offsets are used to justify ecological

Wonder if the Fed will start paying for solar and heat pumps to help curb inflation /s

by TSiege 4y ago
My point is that we will have to do some sort of solar management given the fact that we are currently doing it without even putting any thought into it. Arguably we are currently experiencing a "termination shock" given the move

I think this argument really suffers from the fact that aerosols from the burning of fossil fuels is currently suppressing the full amount of warming we should be experiencing given the composition of the atmosphere. In other words, we&#x27

RE "constant amount of sunlight", this is actually untrue. The suns energy output is increasing roughly 10% per billion years. So it's actually never been stronger. It also means that we have much less habitable time on earth

Of course this is as cryptic as can be. Hoping some good journalists can get their hands on this and start sussing things out. Will these be the panama papers of crypto? Time will tell I suppose

Great advice! I would also add it that don't make what you do for work your hobby. Some on here might disagree with me, but I've found programming in my free time just feels like I'm at work. Explore new hobbies while you hav

Interesting. Are you in STEM or some other field? As an outsider I'm curious if this is specific to some fields or the same across academia

Hasn't this been the case for the entire pandemic? Yes people think it's getting worse, but it's largely been economically good for the last 24 months besides inflation

Great point. I feel like this is an often ignored advantage of JS/TS projects. Most often data is passed around as POJOs. It's dead simple and easy to duplicate, serialize, and mutate

I’d say micro plastics and other related chemicals like PTFEs. They’re incredibly common and found throughout the human body and in every ecosystem. I have a feeling a lot of modern diseases, the ones relegated to “developed” countries are

I think you’re correct that I don’t trust tiktok as we’ve seen our own social media be used as a weapon against us in elections. It’s more likely than not tiktok will be used similarly, but I’m doubtful it’ll be a sign of war
