WHy would we need the entire grid to be back up to not starve though. Obviously we would prioritize things and critical infrastructure would be first. What would actually be damaged though. WOuld an individual generator, batteries, actual a

Are things just not as fascinating now? Is there anything similarly cutting edge today. I know that part of it I was much younger but I also remember most of the people around were way older and seemed to share in the wonder and amazement a

The big one too is noticing everyone else slow down so you start trying to figure out why and look around more.

Ultimately it depends on if it facilities the delivery of information. In most cases excessive styling does the opposite.

This is the case for most everything though. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It plays out in larger society as well, on both ends. You have a few billionaires doing outsized damage destroying society through marketing / antisocial b

My real question is that when looking at the map most of the large deviations are in extreme places. How long do we have temperature records for places like the middle of the ocean near Antarctica? There was a recent article about record br

I don't get why you think people would starve to death though. Wouldn't this be something that last like a couple of days? There might be some long tail food shortages, but I would think obviously food distribution is going to be

I'm curious why you think it would kill most people? Are you thinking exploding batteries and wire induced fires? Societal unrest from the grid being down??

I mean it really depends on your personal experience to how your perspective or "where we are now" feels. It's not like everyone is even remotely concerned with or benefitting from this "advancement." A lot of the s

Yeah and I think an issue is how engineers think vs other people. What maybe seen as rude or negative is just an engineer optimizing for efficiency or technical correctness. Other people then tend to take things personally and attach emotio

The gym didn't exist as our bodies evolved. But neither did grocery stores. Stress and depression pushing you to eat more is your body telling you to get moving, in the past eating more required exerting a lot more effort.

The people getting the millions aren't generally from the same pool as those who have no healthcare and experience gun violence. Two entirely different worlds.

To get from point A to point B I would assume. Id be way more concerned about someone getting in to shoot up and OD'ing in there. Instead of getting a taxi you end up with a dead body delivery.

Not if he's compliant with the revocation. The idea behind bail is ultimately it's the amount that needs to make you show up for trial. Either it's an amount that you or whoever post it won't be willing to lose or it

I always feel hotter with the low humidity. It's stickier and possibly more uncomfortable if you aren't used to it with high humidity. But even low 90s with very low humidity feels like inside an oven to me. I was working outside

The longer we keep records the fewer maxima, but as we add more individual records we will break more. These weather stations are in remote regions where recording began 20 years ago.
