Wait, so it isn't getting worse, I'm just more aware of how flawed it is through long-term exposure?

Yeah, the brine is where various useful ions can be further extracted from. https://news.mit.edu/2019/brine-desalianation-waste-sodium-hydroxide-0213

I love this too, I just hope they don't use too much Phosphorous, because those reserves are limited too, maybe there are alternative designs once this gets going.

Hm, so...can you become carbon neutral if you offset in another country? Isn't that just a way to make poor countries look like they're to blame?

I thought they had covered all roofs in the Vatican with solar panels and a few wind turbines...plus batteries...

...and it grows faster than you can read them too...

kindle, which I never told my wifi password. When you're reading, it is good to be offline, too easy to get sidetracked into a backstory or such. You can have all the dictionaries you need and a few bilingual ones if needed and the chapter list, read %. :3

I've noticed more debatelords (only in large communities, like c/technology), not sure they will stay if we don't feed them and the more debatelordy instances just simply ban them.

I have another question: why do some eras seem to be so free for technology to evolve and open to new entrants to create their designs and mods and why do other eras feel like traps set by investors and enclosures for consumers? The 80s/90s felt great for technology, but today it feels like they all want to take anyone's capacity to do anything beyond being a dumb paying consumer away...like they're covering all possible outcomes to come out enslaving everyone. Why didn't they do that in the 80s/90s? Am I looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses?

Can't we counterjam them? They have more to lose in that area of the globe.

Yeah, but having a Visa/Mastercard duopoly is already a precarious position before they even decide what to censor. This is just the canary in the coalmine, need to diversify, in different countries if possible.
