I get that it's easy to to jump to conclusions online but you literally have me all wrong. I work in researching carbon sequestration. As already mentioned in a different comment reply, I'm happy that people are researching AMOC and the consequences its weakening will bring. But, there's a very big difference between saying, "AMOC is weakening and may collapse at some point if things don't change", and "we're already past the point of no return". One is a helpful statement, the other just drums of despair, which isn't a helpful emotion for tackling climate change.

If you look at the pre-print, its written to my eyes in a somewhat unscientific manner relative to most other climate publications, and so I kind of doubt its rigor. If you want an in-depth review, https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-marine-040324-024822 presents an update article on why exactly making this sort of conclusion is difficult.

One other point that I think no one has mentioned yet is the importance of informed consent when treating people with otherwise fatal conditions. Surgery and other treatments e.g. chemotherapy for cancer incur a lot of pain and suffering in those going through it as well. A person can understand that all that suffering is for the greater good of extending their life, but for a pet that is far from the case, and they may in fact need to suffer more than if they weren't treated.

I love my dog with my whole heart, but I would never put her through chemo if she had cancer.

Depending on how far of a distance you're trying to simulate you probably also want to change the eq. Higher frequency sounds get attenuated faster over distance, so probably something like a low pass filter with a cutoff frequency that gets lower the further away the sound is would work well to start.

Depending on where you're coming from, you might have a different idea of what friendly is. While nearly all Canadians will treat any foreigners with kindness and respect, we don't tend to go out of our way to talk to and be hospitable towards strangers as much as people in a lot of other countries do. Especially in big cities.

Anubis isn't supposed to be hard to avoid, but expensive to avoid. Not really surprised that a big company might be willing to throw a bunch of cash at it.

Awesome! Glad you're aware. It's slowly taking over my neighborhood and I have a young puppy who loves to chew now so I've been overly vigilant.

Careful, that looks like Siberian Squill, somewhat toxic to animals and fairly invasive.

Lmao yes technically correct. The grapes aren't doing anything new, they're acting as a microwave resonator which makes some very interesting plasma physics you can do with a grape in the microwave. However, this is not a new phenomenon and there are much more convenient microwave resonators you can build out of metal.

Enjoy your stable systems while you can! Learning comes through solving problems as they come up. It's a good sign if you don't have to.

Need some new functionality? Figure out how to set it up. Encounter a bug or issue? Troubleshoot and fix it. Functionality that you want doesn't exist? Time to program it yourself.

You can also start customizing (ricing) your system as you wish. Take a look at unixporn style communities for inspiration and advice.
