Yea but that’s Japan. The culture there really is completely different. I wouldn’t count on other metro services to be as well planned and run as theirs is.

Lol that’s not how that works at all. How do you know they aren’t in a 2 party consent state? Why would they assume you are going to be recording the calls? I sure don’t assume that when I am calling anyone.

Only if you go by number of species. If you go by actual biomass our livestock accounts for 60% of all mammal biomass. Wild mammals only make up 4%. The rest is humans.

I assume they meant price drop

Don’t pretty much all modern .zip managers know to not open zip bombs anymore?

Well I can tell you that you’re debating on vain then. You’re never gonna convince an atheist until you have solid evidence of a higher power. And trust me, you don’t.

Do we charge car companies when their vehicles are used to run someone over?

WTF are you talking about. You can’t just claim it’s unsafe and it makes the grid unsafe. Nuclear is INCREDIBLY SAFE. Other than a few disasters that happened decades ago it has the lowest deaths/kwh. And it won’t help contribute to the BILLIONS of deaths that are coming due to climate change. Your fear of some Chernobyl disaster is irrational.

And thus, climate change.

Because none of those (except hydro and geothermal, but those are both extremely location dependent) will deal with the baseload power generation we need. And don’t just say we will make more batteries, lithium is already getting more expensive, and there may be global shortages in the next few years.

Norway (iirc, or some country near it.) Has been making a large containment facility in a deep mountain cave that would be able to store a large amount of the waste. The waste is actually pretty much a non issue at this point. I would much rather we start making more reactors now while we still have a chance, than be paralyzed with fear that the nuclear waste is gonna be some major crisis. It won’t be, but the amount of pollution from NOT having the reactors will be.

Trees are some of the best carbon sinks there are. Far greater than any artificial ones we have so far. Trees last a long time, and when they die you can just plant more.

Are there any other kinds of historians? I feel like most historians can do their job perfectly well from an armchair.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a market for all the buildings around it too?

We absolutely can use statistics like that because we already know that the variables for life to exist MUST exist because we do. There are 100 billion planets in our galaxy, and 200 billion galaxies out there. The chance that our planet is the ONLY one that had the conditions for life to form would be infinitesimally small.

We have explored an infinitesimally small portion of our galaxy, let alone the universe. We have barely even explored our the planets in our own solar system. What you’re saying is the same as looking in a drop of water and saying that fish don’t exist in the ocean. We have no real reason to believe that life ONLY exists here on one planet of the estimated 100 billion planets in our galaxy. Which is one of 200 billion galaxies.

The lack of evidence thus far only suggests that life might be more rare, or harder to detect, than previously thought. It implies nothing about us being truly alone in the universe.

It’s very common to have grocery stores in the bottom floors of buildings that are open to everyone, not just the residents of that building. And in parts of Europe it is the norm for large commercial/residential buildings to reserve the bottom floor for small retail businesses. It would greatly improve cities to have this.
