It’s a navy f-18g, a fairly light fighter-bomber version heavily modified for electronic warfare like radar, jamming support, etc.

Just in case anyone else was wondering.

Algae is the easiest and most likely to work.

We did experiments with iron seeding, the technology isn’t too far, it’s basically how the planet used to regulate before us.

You’re arguing in fa-our of a system that’s literally grouing and growing and growing. Further destroying the biosphere and therefore destroying the foundation of what we need to survive.

That ‘system’ is called human reproduction, our population is the reason for that growth, and the consumption of resources to fulfill it.

Your way results in harsh restrictions in reproduction, which might not be a bad Idea, but is definitely an unpopular one with moral concerns.

Otherwise we have to have an economy to sustain our population, I don’t even understand how you can try to bring morality into it, human reproduction has the morality of the virus, we don’t care what we destroy to reproduce, your parents didn’t, that’s sadly how life works.

The avalanche has already begun, it is too late for the pebbles to vote, the only rational thing (ie not throwing a childish tantrum that has no effect on reality) is to mitigate the damage.

Your religion is sad, guilt does not fix anything and there is no prize for the biggest victim.

Also, I’m not comfortable with Hunter Biden as president, he was convicted of a felony!

You clearly do not understand what eugenics is, and I was literally arguing against that, as that is the only logical conclusion to keep the planet at its natural human carrying capacity.

Have you not thought through the consequences of your beliefs? Do you not realize reducing human industry and agriculture to “sustainable levels” means dramatically reducing human population because we cannot remotely sustain what we have now?

Do you know where the fertilizer used to make the majority of our food from otherwise marginally arable land comes from?

You have no idea about complex systems, climate and chaos theory. Geo-engineering is siake oil the destructive status quo is trying to sell us while the rich build post-apocalyptic bunkers on New Zealand.

Yes, it’s complicated, you know what else is a complex system? The human body. Better not ever take any medicine or anything really.

We predicted climate change, we can use the same techniques to stop it.

I like how geo-engineering is snake oil, while instead losing 3/4 of the population and having the rest live like cavemen is somehow the rational and safe choice.

We can’t sustain the current population on the planet, so either we figure out how to fix that problem, or we get rid of a lot of population, you’re welcome to volunteer.

We went from learning from books to having access to the entire sum knowledge of humanity in my pocket instantly in my lifetime.

Science is truly powerful, and I can say that because I’m literally arguing with you over it.

Geoengineering is basic science, the only thing blocking us from doing it are all the morons who don’t understand how it works and believe “ONLY GAWD” is in charge of the weather, and the other group of morons who don’t understand how it works and thing we should all run back to live in caves.

Read Malthus, we should never have made it this far.

Meh, I think we can adjust.

I think most other systems would be worse, and the system itself is entirely irrelevant.

The only thing that will save us is science, climate change probably doesn’t work the way you think it does, it’s complex and we have room to work if the assholes get off our backs.

“No, we don’t lobby to keep our whole business model viable, why would we do that?”

The far right keeps trying to take over, and keeps collapsing into its own incompetence immediately after.

They know longer know how to rule and modern parliamentary systems make them much less able to govern.

Germany will be a disaster, their economy is finished for at least a decade, but that’s … not terribly serious, they’ll re-form after a while, hopefully after we’ve fixed the EU.

Yeah that latter one is a bit fantastic, but considering how much room there is for change right now we actually could have some things get better.

Austria has been flirting with the far-right my whole life, the strain runs REALLY deep.

If America goes Trump then things could get very dark, but otherwise I’m pretty sure we’ll manage to figure things out over the next decade, things are still vastly better in both Europe and America than anywhere else and while people don’t like it, they’ll be less happy with the alternatives.

I’m brown and live in Europe and America, it’s going fine, a hell of a lot better than anywhere else, particularly the shithole that is CCP’s China.

Taiwan is doing pretty well though.

I think reconstruction would have gone a lot faster if we’d handed the plantation owners to their slaves and walked away.

They’ve been inciting racial violence for political ends ever since.

The electoral college almost guarantees him a win, it was specifically designed to ensure the slave states always kept power, which is why when they finally lost in 1861, the first thing they did was flip the table.

We really needed to let those states leave, would have been the best thing to ever happen to this country, the trash take themselves out.

Be ready, especially if you’re on the east coast.

The rednecks are assuming they’re the only ones with balls and nobody else will stand up to them, like all bullies think.

Prove them wrong.

Black man who sued Alabama police for brutality

That was literally the most clear-cut case of suicide I’ve ever seen.

Wonder what mental illness possibly led him to do something so clearly suicidal, it’s the fucking south, obviously they’re going to murder you and probably your family.

No, you’re just an idiot, you’re not a problem, you’re not significant enough to ever amount to a problem, you’ll be forgotten 5 minutes after you’re dead.

But, at least you have your impotent rage?

If we can analyze larger primes, we can generate larger primes which has applications in math, particularly cryptography and other areas, not even beginning to look at number theory. Specifically being able to verify them over a cloud is useful, we can generate them quicker and worry about their safety less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hensel’s_lemma has uses in physics actually.

Oh, you mean you don’t understand it, gotcha.

Yes, and Bayesian statistics are useless too, they’re all about things that have already happened!

Because we’re independent states, and unfortunately we have consistently failed to hold many of our lowest performing states to the standards all decent humans should hold.

Jim Crow took us 150 years to end, and we’re still not completely free of it.

Mostly it’s easier for us who don’t live there, or no longer live there to ignore the nightmare they have to live through.
