Yes and Ganymede appears to contain concentric layers of oceans separated by layers of ice. There is also Callisto, Encaeladus, Titan, and since New Horizons, potentially even Pluto - not to mention that the trace amounts of H20 present in

I assume by "life", you mean post-industrial revolution humanity which shouldn't be treated as the norm, for either life nor even human history. It's also irrelevant, water is incredibly abundant in our solar system and

A civilisation capable of significant depletion of the earth's oceans for the production of hydrogen and oxygen is so far ahead of us in economies of scale that we would be long past the point of needing to worry about something that c

There isn't a paywall I can spot in the original link - perhaps it's a regional thing? What you might be missing here is that the "only downside" should be emphasized far more. Hydrogen is a bloody nightmare to store lon

Social justice movements are almost without exception extremely critical of countries like Saudi Arabia but despite this fantasy conjured up by conservatives that it's the woke crowd that shy away from criticism of Islamic theocracies,

Not to mention that we don't even currently have a real capability to repair the currently malfunctioning Hubble telescope anymore. That was designed for maintenence from the now non-existent space shuttle in mind. Trying to accomplish

What concrete evidence do you have that social justice movements are "doing more harm than good" or that whatever harm they are doing is equivilent to flat earthers, anti-vaxxers and white supremacists?

Very low but a more common and likely possibility is that it could disturb the oort cloud and cause comets to fall in system. Guess that could classify as what you are referring to depending on your definition of solar system. A passing sta

While I did pick the projects for their notability, I could point out the fact that Gnome have an active disdain for extension developers and the entire idea of extensions as well as Mozilla continuing to make unpopular decision after unpop

There is definitely a growing voice there of people not happy with Israel's actions or the Biden administrations handling of the situation either but honestly, the supposed representative democracy there is mostly a farce. Most of the

Tbh, I actually will take the possibly controversal stance that I do not think governments, foreign or otherwise should be prevented from broadcasting provided that they do not attempt to disrupt the broadcasts of others in the same network

Definitely not the government but the citizens and even then, there are still many staunch defenders of Israel and the IDF there which makes sense given their ongoing relationship.

This is a ridiculous accusation. Aside from the obvious fact that chimpanzees and humans cannot cross-breed, biologists consider the actual physical morphology and features of an animal when categorizing species. When you take that into acc

That's a good point but while they have managed to successfully dehumanise the palestinians in the eyes of their own population, that's less true internationally - even in the US. This provides yet another excuse for them to flout

I'm pretty sure the elite are going to meet their reckoning long before they get to live in climate controlled domes. It's going to make the French Revolution look like a pillow fight. I don't reallly think we're even at

Clearly not a perspective born out of much empathy. Very few people have the requirements to even attempt to start a company and out of that limited pool, most fail within the first year, with luck playing a large role in which companies su

I don't see the absurdity frankly though perhaps you mean hypocracy. Both superpowers love to exercise soft power as well as the kind backed up by munitions.

Just re-read this and realized that I'm using the term catalyst in a way that would make a chemist eyes weep. These would be used up in the reaction so it's not a true catalyst but the term has been kind of co-opted to mean anyt

I should have clarified that I mean large self enclosed ecosystems, as in bigger than a jar. Something that can sustain multiple larger animals is to put it lightly - a major challenge. The mess that was Biosphere 2 should be a testemant

We would likely have to generate such ecosystems for ourselves, probably in giant rotating space habitats which can be enclosed off from invasive species and poachers. So, to put it lightly, probably a few centuries off. We have never even

Maybe it cannot act as a direct catalyst for fusion but it could potentially act as a catalyst for another potential catalyst for fusion, such as a pellet of fissionable material.

You're overthinking this. It's on by default because many users now expect it and it's surprising (at least to me as an Emacs user) how little people tend to dive into configuring their editors. I guess it also looks kind of
