I don’t usually wanna pick up and move, but when I do it’s because of shows like this. If only I was in Chicago for this one 😍

The underlying mechanism of these observations remains highly speculative, and such an understanding will remain elusive without repeatability. We hope our experiments and recommendations can help build concurrence and accelerate understanding and real world impacts.

This is a really important field to have community concurrence in with experimental repeatability. If oxidants are really forming unexpectedly at air-droplet interfaces in the clouds, we’d need to rework #atmospheric chemistry models among many other implications.

It’s easy to see how people convince themselves climate change is good. Like “Yay! Harvest in November! Thank you global warming!” You just have to ignore the lost crop from excessive heat in summer, rampant pests that didn’t die over winter, and dwindling water resources etc. etc.

Lotta big sentences bleak house lol

What George Saunders did you read? Worth checking out? I’ve never read one of his books honestly

That book is wild. Haven’t read it since HS but you inspired me to make it my next one

I love games like this only when I don’t care a whole lot who wins (which I don’t in this case, just mildly rooting for the mariners). Otherwise it’s too stressful lol

Let’s get Tesla on this! With their ingenuity, they’ll come up with something super efficient and innovative that clears up the road and keeps motorists safe. It won’t be anything stupid like keeping the semis on the road but just automating out the driver.

And since they usually go to dedicated transportation centers without making any detours, maybe they could even be on some kind of track until they get to the city they’re going. We could call it a trackroad.

Huge opportunity to do some innovation here!

When I saw the album announcement I dropped everything I was doing and raced to order the vinyl. And I still missed out on the coolest color. It’s wild realizing that there are so many people as nerdy/ obsessed — or even more so — as I am about it

I made a move 2 hours after the album announcement and still missed out on one of the vinyl variants. I was bummed to miss it but happy to see AH got people hyped like that

Right!? It looks so good! One of those rare instances where it looks even better than the marketing pics.

Coincidentally, Hyperglyph just landed on streaming platforms. Go run it up!
