I follow the manga, the material is great.

Great atmosphere, great plotting, and many of the main characters are complicit in the orphan crushing machine, which I really enjoy.

The costs of a RCT to subject a population of humans over their lifespan to 600 ppm CO2 would be insane. Does this mean that we can't say anything about how humans interact with elevated CO2 levels and have to guess from mice and first principles about blood bicarbonate levels? Well, there are a few groups of humans who regularly encounter elevated CO2 levels - highly urban populations, indoor office workers (especially in highly urban societies), and submariners.

Well we were at 300ppm - humans didn't face a "potentially toxic" atmosphere. We're at 400ppm - atmosphere not feeling "potentially toxic" to me. Indoor office workers get a workweek's worth of indoor time at 1000 ppm CO2, then however long they spend commuting (I'm thinking trains here) more elevated CO2, then stay at home with 500+ ppm CO2 (levels can vary widely). Sure, office workers tend to be less healthy, but a "potentially toxic" atmosphere seems like stretching it. Finally, there are submariners (and technically astronauts, but they tend to be fewer) who can spend months underway at a time and years cumulatively at 1000+ ppm CO2. How do they suffer? Not too differently from the rest of us - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1128685/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34412099/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8515322/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5623552/

Okay, suppose that actually at 500ppm of CO2, it turns out that toddlers spontaneously combust. I think it's probable that at some point in some urban city that there have been toddlers that have spent almost all of their time indoors and thus could have already been exposed to this condition without dying.

Is it possible that a 500, 600, 700, 800ppm CO2 cause conditions hazardous to human life or incompatible with human life? Yes, it's possible and we won't know for sure until we start pushing people into that condition for their whole life. Do I think it's likely given that we know that people aren't dropping like flies in highly urban societies like Hong Kong and Singapore and that submariners seem ok? No.

I myself am on team wet bulb event, but I think there is a subset of the population that believes (correctly) that they will be able to survive and thrive no matter how much they destroy the earth or whatever mass mortality events occur.

It's always amazing to see the insane clothing combinations on anime characters. What is that, a tube top with a bra and a cropped jacket on top, paired with a dickey (presumably solely for a boob window)

I still think about garak and under the burning suns from time to time. The plot is decent and while there's not much writing, what's there is generally good. I'd rate it better than the vast majority of games, but general consensus would probably place it below planescape torment and disco elysium. I really liked it.

Recently, battle for wesnoth has remade the delfador campaign and heir to the throne and tried to unify a bunch of the mainline campaigns together. Deceiver's gambit and the new httt are imo respectively second and third best wesnoth campaigns now.

where did my grapes go? where did my stonefruit go? birds. they'll eat everything before it even ripens.

bird netting is commonly sold in garden and hardware stores as a result.

the great helmsman did what he could but the bourgeois birds have won and captured the state. how else can you explain the migratory bird act?

Where would such an individual acquire so many socks, much less the hands with which to puppet them with!?

Your math is wrong. Kinetic energy scales linearly with mass, quadratically with speed. The graphic you included supports the idea that at same speed, the pickup truck has double the KE. The 120 mph sedan has dramatically more KE than a 30 mph pickup.

Assuming that your sedan has exactly half the mass of the pickup, it would match a 30 mph pickup's KE at 30*sqrt(2) mph, which is somewhere between 40 and 45 mph.

I settled on mediawiki myself due to basically how trustworthy mediawiki and mediawiki skins look. I use https://github.com/CanastaWiki/Canasta-DockerCompose myself but the default includes caddy, which I just overrode in the docker compose override. I believe Canasta is mainly driven by someone who works on a wiki farm.

I also know of https://github.com/nasa/meza.

However, I want to repeat my recommendation of miraheze. When I run into an issue or need an extension, I just look at what miraheze does or what people associated with miraheze do. I also believe that due to the nature of mediawiki it's a better use of resources to have a wiki farm as opposed to many separate instances. If they will host your wiki, I think they're the best choice.

I took a quick skim. By toxic atmosphere, they mean as in probable health hazard, not as in directly killing people immediately.

Indoor co2 levels can easily hit 1000+ ppm co2, especially if your dwelling is well sealed, as many energy efficient dwellings are. Submarines keep co2 at the thousands ppm for extended periods and were the impetus for co2 studies on how much humans can take.

I don't think a major concern of rising atmospheric co2 is the direct threat to health caused by elevated co2 levels. I, personally, would be angered if someone told me that high co2 levels were dangerous to human health and then I read this.

My understanding is that it is only "outside the law" in that

There are no internationally agreed catch limits in the region covering squid

The law of the sea, probably / theoretically UNCLOS, would still apply. I don't think any power would approve of anything militancy related and I think it's likely they would take steps against any groups that are involved in anything militancy related.

How are you supposed to raise a 10X engineer without 10X-ing the Tylenol dosage?

What's the alternative? A 4X engineer? Or heavens forfend, a ... 1X engineer!?

Is that sort of bare chest top commercial off-the-shelf technology or is it custom?
