The last paragraph is sort of missing the mark though - the whole idea would be about releasing the quake earlier so its smaller than the future natural quake.

Not saying that the practice would work, but that paragraph doesn't represent the issue well, imo.

You still haven't read the article, have you? I'll also wait.

"Without reading the article, I'll just pull some shit out of my ass."

Ah yah, it's just African American culture to be poor. Sick take.

Explain to me how you think that would work.

"Race-based differences in poverty levels aren't because of race!!!"

Its not supported because it's widely acknowledged, and irrefutably true.

The guy would be just as tall lying on his belly.

What? No the science is increasingly showing that brain development goes on for much longer than we thought. Out to 25 years and beyond, before which you are working with an under developed brain. It's why we make such poor decisions as young adults.

Kids are definitely just dumb little people, because their brains only have rudimentary systems like the one described here.

Kids have accelerated learning in some areas, like language, but go try and teach a child how to perform a new skill, like cooking, dancing, drawing, etc. Their brain lacks development in critical areas to perform even at a basic level without lots of development. Meanwhile adults, even not particularly quick ones, can easily perform the simple neural tasks required to learn these new skills.

Doesn't even make any sense - Tesla sold ~250k in 2018, still more than Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet in 2022 combined.

People full chest posting about how the Chinese don't want Teslas because Elon moved to Texas ffs hahaha

"Oh, my claim that was a total lie was exposed as such? Time to move the goalposts - we're basically both wrong!!"

You mean all the publications that have the established manufacturers as their top advertisers? lol

Literally what the Koch brothers just did to the tune of billions, at the cost of future taxpayer funded cleanup.

Moving money from public pockets into private pockets is the biggest grift there is.

Tbf, pretty much all r/science threads these days get sanitized because 85% of the top level comments are either dumb jokes, personal anecdotes, or sarcastic "oh wow, we really needed to study THIS?!?" comments.

There are also many other greenhouse gasses that don't contribute significantly to toxicity, but do have a pronounced warming affect - the first that comes to mind is methane at about 20x lifetime impact versus c02

Nah, it would be less sticky in a vacuum because you wouldn't have air pressure working to close the vacuum bubbles formed in the stretching material. Suction doesn't work without air pressure.

This isn't a subsidized project - this is a court mandated requirement because Volkswagen intentionally poisoned millions of people and our planet with illegally polluting diesel vehicles for YEARS.

It's not surprising that a charging network that is essentially a punishment for the company making it sucks.

Obesity and inactivity will have high comorbidity, but won't have a 1:1 correlation, so their independent effects can still be teased out.

So you're suggesting that an honour system is a robust control mechanism?

We passed a law saying it's solved.

Not the only people to be found guilty, and far from the only company that had cheater devices in place.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal

Nah, it was every major manufacturer for like a decade.

I mean, every major auto manufacturer in the world intentionally produced diesel vehicles with cheater devices to trick emissions tests. Knowingly emitting millions of tons of illegal particulate is akin to mass manslaughter imo.

Yah you're right. This discovery won't let you toast your toast faster, so why are they even studying it?

Thanks for the high quality contribution to the discussion.
