I've been looking at dome houses and found some pre-fab Japanese dome homes[1] that are certified by the Japanese "Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism" [2]. The round ones range from about 290 square feet

I'm in my early 20's. I'll not be having children because I believe that we will be facing mass extinction events in ~2030's, so I think it's immoral to bring another person into that.

Exactly, there is an effective rent for owning a home, even if it's entirely paid off. The taxes you must pay, the insurance on the property, and the upkeep for maintenance (amortized roofing expenses/AC units etc). I have family

I think you'll find that the majority of those countries are 100% "on certain days." Meaning that they still need to be supported by natural gas plants at the renewable site, or by nearby countries who do not have 100% renewa

If there were proper funding into nuclear plants, why wouldn't there also be some kind of reduction in price as new technologies are improved, like we are seeing with renewables? What about those molten salt thorium reactors from a few

I've always wondered if everyone is just acting to pass as neurotypical, when everyone is really just acting. And maybe there could be some way that everyone could just be real with each other and realize that no one is actually truly

For me, I will not have children. I would never subject another human to this kind of life.

So by your definition, one is an adjective, so asking them for a noun that represents the adjective "one" violates the definition. It's sort of a trivially false disingenuous question.

You can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. You have to have a genuine and open dialogue with them in the form of a socratic discussion. See examples of street epistemology to get them to lessen

That's a fair point. The average voter in Oklahoma goes to the polls the night after watching Rosanne, drinking their 40, and reveling in the latest anti-abortion ad.

Have you seen the "move a mountain" idea? Basically pump water underneath a large mass of earth to lift it up. Then let the water pump back out to retrieve the energy. Main issue is the seals that would need replaced.

You absolutely can. The reason that they didn't want to use it in WWII was because of a combination of politics and that one of the trans-uranics that is produced creates gamma rays that are easily traceable. Imagine having gamma ray i
