Does it help that the phytoplankton may adapt?

Adaptation of phytoplankton to a decade of experimental warming linked to increased photosynthesis

I mean yeah, it's in a controlled environment, but it seems like encouraging news?

I think alot of people are baffled as to why the Democrats aren't doing the same, or at least aren't comming up with some way to stop it from happening.

The idea is that they take the high road. They don't want to be seen stooping to the rude tactics that the Republicans are using. But, in the end, they just end up advancing the Republicans agenda even further, although at a slower pace.

It's frustrating, and somewhat suspicious.

Ok, look, i have about 300 of these. One for almost every day of the week. Lady (no, not me) is always making an excuse to leave early or not come in at all. Does it piss some people off? Sure, but nobody has stopped her yet.

Or they're constipated...

Konjac is supposed to help with cholesterol and acne too.

But mainly constipation.

I would maybe check out Hiking project if your in North America. It looks really similar to all trails, except you have to download particular areas. The drawback is that the user input is almost nonexistent on smaller, local trails. More popular trails have some good info though. This definitely seems like it has promise.

Then theres Farout (formerly guthook) - I've heard this app mentioned alot as the preferred way to navigate trails like the AP or CDT. It costs money, and it's not cheap, but you can download the app and continue as a guest and check put some of the free maps they provide.

Nah. I only leave a trickle down the side at the most. And I ALWAYS make sure to clean it up.

Unless your incapacitated, it's just not right to leave it for someone else to do.

Dude, that would be so beyond. Some ritual offering that has to take place to appease the diety that that keeps our shite company in business. Here, we offer you, o' holy one, some...piss. Come to think of it, it did start after the buyout.

There would be a special place in hell for those guys.

Nah, it just shows I'm really just a bad judge of character, and slightly prejudiced. Just cause the guy can't see his dick while he's tinkling, doesn't mean he can't aim.

What exactly are you referring too?

This man, per the comment section, picks up stray animals, and gives them a home. And then there's a donkey. He mentions that there's wild animals that come through there that he considers his pets.

He's not trapping and selling them. If he was, he would have electricity.

There was this guy at work that would pee on the floor instead of in the toilet, at a frequency of maybe once or twice a week. Never would own up to it and made everyone else clean it up.

He must have gotten his jollys from it, was on too many rx drugs to notice, or had some malicious intent going on.

Never found out who it was, everytime I had a hunch the guy would quit or get fired and it kept up. Thank God I started working from home. Ugh

There was a ledge at school about 4 foot off the ground and maybe 2 foot wide that the kids would walk on to be cool. The classrooms had these windows that you had to crank open and they swung from hinges at the top, so the opened into a kind of lean to shape. Those were about 5 foot above the ledge.

Sooo...After school, i was running back to the band hall to grab my clarinet before my parents came to pick me up...on the ledge...looking down so i didnt fal...not realizing the window was open...and wham, right into the side edge of the window.

Hit my forehead, thank God I didn't fall of the ledge as well. I got 4 stitches and had to hold my head together anytime I laughed or smiled for 3 weeks...

God, I felt dumb.

I definitely believe climate change will transform our existence, but im still torn to what extent. Mostly, because I believe in our ability to create technology.

I think that if we continue on our current path, (Nothing at all changes. We still try to live in cities and grow food in the soil, and depend on rivers and lakes) we will become extinct. Eventually, this earth will not support us as is. Maybe If we come up with some large scale carbon capture system, like tomorrow, we can maintain some semblance of normalcy latter down the road.

We will have to find innovative ways to take shelter from the outside elements, grow our food indoors, and make water from...something. The question is, how innovative will we be? Will we come up with some sort of biodome or terraforming technology. We can manipulate indoor spaces to grow large amounts of food now, but will we create all the components and nutrients without our current industrialized processes. Will we create a water extraction solution that will seem akin to alchemy at worst, or at best find new ways of seeking water deep within our earth. Or maybe we'll just figure out how to really utilize that pesky fusion reactor, finally build the damn enterprise, and hop ship to another planet.

No matter what, I think that the human population will take a hit. Even with innovation, there's no way we will sustain everyone currently inhabiting this planet. I think our population size will be determined by what we can invent. Eventually, if we don't invent the right tools, we will go extinct when the climate gets to its furthest extreme.

Maybe the climate will swing back around, or maybe the planet will turn into a ball of dust, but that will be so far in the future, it's silly to think about now. For now, honestly, I just keep picturing a world kind of like in those Myst books from the 90s...
