yeah. these things changed, i remember the old days and the pleasant smell at stations if someone took a dump.

biggest concern i see with this rollout/rollin solar carpets other than it proving to check all technical concerns would be the importance train track gravel has come to play as biome for small wildlife. surveys have shown a surprisingly vast amount of animals and insects having adopted to the special conditions at train tracks, especially small reptiles.

swiss train track density is very high. the track system is very well maintained and it's easy to feed energy from those tracks back into the system as swiss train tracks also have energy and fibre lanes right next to them.

toilets in swiss trains no longer are a hole to the outside they all operate chemical toilets and capture content in canisters. not everyone is using ancient train tech.

as if the majority of people isn't driven by money, power and status as well. exploitation is as old as human history and no one is innocent - we all contribute our share to human suffering. as for BRICS overtaking Western GDP let's see what happens a couple of decades down the road when climate change has had a chance starting to erode wide areas around the equator or sea levels start rising requiring tremendous investments to reallocate major urban areas. once people start dying like flies because corruption won't help you escape heat, drought, rain, storms, poverty, bad infrastructure and solve the problems of a lack of food and water supply we will see how BRICS are going to help each other. when everything goes to shit everyone turns on everyone, that is the only truth about human civilisation, doesn't matter what direction of the compass points at you.

also: gdp on itself is meaningless as a value for comparison. you compare gdp per capita. BRICS have a lot of catching up to do.

what about bandwidth requirements, texture resolutions and the size requirements to power/leverage all that? AAA development times are already between 6-10 years for fundamental new projects that move the technical verge and aren't iterating on established franchises and tech (simply because quality standards are so top of the line) the kind of hyper-realism that is enabled with that display tech if it ever hits will probably take generations to be fully exhausted/leveraged.

you paywall these kind of services behind a subscription + service. but yeah it's probably not infinite money, but it can maybe eat into current glucose screening services rendered, i have no idea how much that market is in annual revenues.

again someone making a general statement without knowing shit. the world is more complicated than your gut sense or your anecdotal experience.

you don't even know what she did. talking out of your fucking ass.

my fav on the show.

first season was an interesting setup. 2nd season has a weak start.
