Reply to comment by enjoytheshow in Exclusive: U.S. considers airline wastewater testing as COVID surges in China by Smithy2232

…but you survived. Many in China don’t trust the government because of past BS so they don’t trust Chinese vaccines. Add to that the preference for herbal remedies, particularly among the elderly, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect tragedy. Compound that with far less ICU beds on a per capita basis.

Reply to Luxurious space hotels are a classic Sci-Fi trope. But American hospitality giant Hilton recently signed a deal with Lockheed Martin and Voyager Space to build the solar system’s first space hotel onboard Starlab — a space station with NASA funding — which is currently under development. by EricFromOuterSpace

I wonder how much fuel would be burned to bring a guest to this hotel and how you could offset the carbon for a trip like this?

Reply to This Man's Campaign To Restore Village's Groundwater Levels Found Success With 3,500 New Water Bodies by GivenAllTheFucksSry

Several years ago I read a story about another person in India that built small, simple dams across the drainage ditches. When it rains each dam would create a mini reservoir behind it and after the heavy rains, the water would remain there instead of running off. This would allow the aquifer below to recharge. I think they called these little reservoirs wadi- or something like that. All of this shows that small contributions can add up to big results!
