Meanwhile, somewhere in Brazil, Bolsonaro proposes pooping on alternate days.

Bolsonaroa pattented a oral pooping method.

He is what's happen when people vote with anger instead of rationality. There were other anti-left alternatives, but people choosed hin, and in the run-off election there ws just hin and a leftwing.

He is a disaster... in nevery way.
That's why Brazil it's always a joke worldwide... we always do pathetic things or choose pathetic people.

Freebeard complained about me mentioning Jarhead Poisonarrow, couple of weeks ago. Freebeard is a plagiarist, without having a reason to be so.

In case you haven't noticed, it's not as if the US is in a race to the top as far as candidates go. We're made of the same stuff as anyone else, and susceptible to similar motivations. Only controversial people are "newsworthy" so reasonable people stand no chance to spark the passion of the masses.

My estimation is that our biggest threats are the ones not talked about at all. If you want a dose of reality, watch Dr. Strangelove again. It's not going to be unsecured borders or Global Warming that causes mass suffering, not that those topics aren't worthy of consideration, but that they aren't even in the same realm of threat to the well-being of humanity.

Name any topic in the news/politics, and I can probably come up with several dozen more important instantly.

... mass shooters- very bad... not as bad as our suicide problem or opioid addiction.

Military contracts are sometimes like that. Contracts are let to build some complex system..... & then someone gets a bright idea, "if they only did this or that, it would increase capability by 5%, 20%, etc". Then the contract gets inflated, often scrapping original designs & starting from scratch. After 15 years of development, there still isn't any product.
Other scenerios operate similarly.

That cuts both ways. The Dymaxion house has some rough edges. It could have used another prototype.

I never complained. Let's jump in the Wayback Machine:

Poisonarrow? Name-calling doesn't help your cause.
I thought 'Jarhead Poison' was weak, and at Permalink #6230 I suggested an extension. You accused me of name-calling.

At Permalink #6453 I gave a source source and did not use your construction. I'll wait for your apology, but only for 48 hours.

Any comments about reducing meat consumption as a method of reducing CO2? AllDarc brings up fake meat topics fairly regularly including lab grown meat. If we're able to develop lab meat and manufacture at scale, that seems like a huge way to reduce the amount of land devoted to meat production and increase the caloric efficiency of creating meat (and no more cow farts). My guess is that lab meat is more likely than not in the future. Perhaps toward the end of my life I'll be seen as a barbarian that ate animals, though the motivation to lab grow meat would largely be to reduce cost/maximize profit.

Some, if not most of the solutions to our problems may come about due to capitalistic innovation motivated by improving efficiency as a means of reducing costs. Capturing the free "fuel" provided by the sun is already a huge motivation compared to having to purchase/extract and burn fuel to power things, for instance.

We need to change the way we raise cows - we feed them with sow and corn grown with artificial fertilizer and pesticides and herbicides - and this is the only source of added greenhouse gases.

Cows than eat grass can help SINK carbon into the ground - so eating locally grown grass fed beef can HELP the climate, a lot.

You're repeating bad information. Cow farts is a red herring — they're ruminates, belching is the problem not farts. And adding seaweed to their diet controls the belching.

Not that that does anything for the deforestation and violence.

Today, from S0, two papers:

South China Post: China scientists warn of global cooling trick up nature’s sleeve

The Global Warming Policy Forum: Against Censorship: The Climate Story Forbes Doesn’t Want You To Read

Lol fake meat is the pentacle of GMO, hyper processed, artificial everything foods. No way it "is better for you".
