Create an energy efficient system for carbon capture from the atmosphere and the oceans. Something that can be used at the sites for heavy emitters and also generally around the world.
Create a system to collect the captured carbon and bring it to a central site.
Fire that carbon off into interstellar space.
Use the revenue generated from fees from heavy polluters who can't decarbonise effectively (things like steel making, glass works, air travel) to fund low carbon energy projects and storage/distribution systems for developing nations like in sub-saharan Africa and SE Asia.
I'm not sure what's worse: the awful AI slop, the late-stage Facebook level meme attempt or the obvious boomer baiting.
Couple are set to make $3.5 million in profit, are asked to pay tax, say no and greedily hoard their asset some more and cry about the hardship.
Fuck off.
This is what I imagine it's like living with a traumatic brain injury.
As a dyspraxic, I feel you. Years of special classes to try and improve my handwriting and general coordination (this was before the condition was very well understood) and none of which really worked.
I have simply learned to avoid writing by hand as much as physically possible. It's the main reason I was so interested in computers as a kid (again, before they were in everyone's pocket) and I found programming as a creative outlet very liberating from the limitations of my physical abilities.
I remember the first time I saw the phrase "streaming video" was a website called "teen steam" (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.
I'm sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that "streaming" was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.
A curling gif? In the wild? Yay!
Like that bloke said to Caesar. Beware the tides of march.
Should have just gone in April.
