It would be a catastrophe for sure, but there are some reasons to be hopeful:
Researchers have been studying this bug for awhile and human vaccines could be ramped up more quickly than with COVID.
Further, there are specific mutations that would be key for rapid human-human spread and the variant infecting these cattle don’t have those mutations (yet).
Cattle are not as good a transition species to humans as, for example, pigs. So while we should be watching this, it’s not quite as alarming as it could be.
Timothee Chalamet as Data (he’s in everything).
For me it was just the emotional tone. I only watched the first 5 episodes, but one of the things that makes Star Trek enjoyable for me is its optimism about the future. Discovery was really bleak (at least to start) and I couldn’t keep watching it. I’ve heard it gets better, so maybe I should give it another shot.
While it’s good to be skeptical, algae tanks like this are actually a good idea for the use-cases for which they are designed. Places where trees would be difficult and expensive to grow. The tanks more efficiently capture carbon, require less maintenance, produce fertilizer as a byproduct and the solar panels on the tank produce enough extra power for there to be a USB charger on the bench. The goal isn’t to replace trees with tanks but to use them where it makes sense to do so.
An article worth reading in its entirety. Nordhaus’ models predict even a 6C increase as not that bad, this doesn’t even pass a common sense test. The fact that this fantasy outlook has sway with governments is terrifying and bodes ill for our future.
I found this out the hard and still have no regrets.
Munchkin soured me on Take That style games for years. My friends loved it, but I did not.
Probably Scythe. It was fun the first couple times when we were figuring it out, but very quickly every game ends up feeling the same.
At the start of all this when Christian first posted I figured I would just use some sort of workaround like old.reddit in mobile browser; the official app and new reddit are non-starters for me, it’s just not how I browse.
However, in the days since I have been increasingly dismayed by Spez and the rest of the leadership response, a lack of interest in even engaging on the subject and outright hostility towards a community that has been dedicated to reddit for years. I can’t see myself going back there, it’s been poisoned for me.
Things are starting to improve on that front, at least on the OS level, even the Arch community is more welcoming these days. There is still a ton of gatekeeping in certain areas, though. Ask a beginner question on WineHQ sometime, for example.
