Do you know if Co2 that dissolves into water is less buoyant, or is it held in suspension? Or is this relying on the sediment being suspended in the ocean for a while before being deposited back on the ocean floor?

And does ERW work if the pulverized rock is in a big pile on the sea floor? Or would we have to dig the highly radioactive area up and spread it around the surface?
Yeah… Doesn’t the carbon sequestering happen from rain absorbing carbon in the atmosphere and then attaching to the rock to mineralize it? Something tells me 6-7 km of ocean might impede that process.
And does the radioactive water truly stay at the site of the explosion? Or will it be spread through the entire ocean via currents?
Dilution is the solution…ocean big?
last 10 years of Ukraine’s history represent a unique example of a ruthless struggle to become a colony.
More like a ruthless struggle to break up with one colonizer in favor of a new one.
There’s a reason more than half the oligarchs fled to Russia at the onset of the war.
It is not an appeal to authority… It’s called a rebuttal. If someone makes a claim that no real smart person can do x, an easy way to prove them wrong is to provide an example of a smart person doing x.
Sorry for your loss, but thanks for sharing. To me the toughest thing about reaching middle age has been the friends I’ve lost along the way.
Time goes by so fast now that it can be hard for me to find a moment of contemplation to think about the people I wish i had spent more time with. After work today I’m going to have a beer and think about my friends and yours
Cheers.
Yeah, I would prob agree with that. We do usually have different flavours of “different” depending on the department.
My department mainly has a bunch of dudes with a lot of divorced Dad energy. They mostly just work too much and then spend their off time pretending to be motorcycle dudes, or playing squash way too aggressively for their age.
Lol, not surprising at all. Everyone in neurosurgery is a freak of some sort. At least he has a healthy outlet for his sadism, bet you he’s the nicest and most well adjusted guy in his entire department.
I might be a bit biased though, I work in Orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation and we can get weird as well.
Ain’t nobody got any time for that. Imo smokers are overrated for the amount of time and effort you have to deal with them.
If I want to do a fancy steak I’ll usually just do a sous vide.
Also as Yogthos alluded to, China doesn’t have eminent domain, they can’t just take your house like in America. This has lead to people who refuse to sell having highways diverted around their house, parking lots, and in 1 case, a shopping center surrounding the house.
They don’t have eminent domain because their legal system isn’t designed off of common law. They do however have forced evictions and land expropriations, which basically boils down to the same thing.
It’s just academically dishonest to claim that the Chinese government can’t just take your home, as that is by far the most common reason for organized protest in the country.
1993-2003, Shanghai From 1993 to 2003, 2.5 million people were evicted in the city of Shanghai.[9]
2008, Beijing Olympics In preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, many of Beijing’s densely populated neighborhoods were torn down in order to make way for new developments and infrastructure projects. The Center on Housing Rights and Evictions estimated that 1.5 million people in and around Beijing were forced from their homes, often with inadequate compensation. Chinese authorities maintained only 6,000 families were relocated, and that all received proper compensation.[10]
1995-2005, Chongqing Three Gorges Dam From 1995 to 2005, an average of 86,754 people were evicted annually in connection to the Three Gorges Dam,[9] totaling an estimated 1.4 million people.[11] Recalcitrant residents in the city of Chongqing had their water and electricity turned off in order to force them to move; the residents said they had not yet left because proper resettlement hadn’t been arranged.[12]
2013-present, Beijing “Limited Property Right” houses From 2013 to present, 108 communities that are listed as “limited property right” houses, with over ten thousands households are forced evicted. At the same time, thousands of households with “limited property right” due to historical reason, which are not included in the 108 communities list are also being evicted illegally, such as XiangTang village and JiuhuaYuan community eviction. During the winter of 2020, the city of Beijing and government of Xiaotangshan township cut off water and electricity of the residents, and send unpermitted security guards to the community, in order to force the residents to leave. The security guards and excavators go to residents’ house when they go out for food and water, and demolish their home without any negotiation or arranging settlement.
Every government that has transitioned to an industrialized economy has some sort of way of land procurement for public works. One of China’s main economic advantages compared to the west is this procurement can be done at scale via a centralized apparatus of the government.
To say there is no way for the government to procure “private property” is either very ignorant or very dishonest. Especially considering that the procurement and sales of rural property is a large part of how local governments create funding in China.
I personally see nothing wrong with governments procuring private property for public works, it’s just part of securing economic growth for the nation. However, claiming that it doesn’t happen at all is just inaccurate.
Yeap, kinda the epiphany on my end. Had a steak I was wanting to reverse sear but already had the oven set for something else. Figured the air fryer was just a fancy oven and gave it a shot. Steak came out better than normal and have been doing it ever since.
I haven’t tried finishing it in the air fryer yet, been worried it might not sear correctly since it’s not getting direct heat.
It’s actually really good for a reverse sear. The air circulates at a more even temp than a regular oven and can be kept at a nice low consistent heat.
Just pop it in the air fryer at 250f and bring the steak 10 degrees from your desired cooking temp and then finish it off on some cast iron.
enact genocidal policies like the US still does on the indigenous peoples of the mainland and occupied Hawai’i which has been gentrified and settled to the point of being unlivable for most of the locals.
And the same has been said about tibet, inner Mongolia, and xinjiang. I mean you can look at Chinas own census data and see that han Chinese are migrating to cities in xinjiang, displacing ethnic minorities to move away from their cultural cities.
The claims of China’s abuse of ethnic minorities are a scam espoused by the same people profitting off the genocide in Palestine. Anybody who takes the evidence seriously instead of treating accusations as trustworthy because of the volume of them doesn’t understand (or chooses to ignore) how the US propaganda machine has always worked.
You are conflating the accusations of genocide in one region with the accusations of ethnic discrimination. Even in that grey zone article it is conflating the study from some weird neocon group with all investigations into ethnic discrimination in China.
Han chauvinism is an established concept that even Mao took aims to curtail. Something they are still combating considering there has only been one ethnic minority to serve in the central committee in the last 35 years.
An actual criticism that I have about Xi is that he is a bit culturally conservative. The belt and road initiative utilized a lot of han centric language and the current central committee is notably the first committee that has no women serving on it in the last +25 years.
Same to you!
what do you suppose the Taliban would have done to those same people and more if the US had not pulled out when Trump told them we would?
I don’t really think slowing down a pull out a few weeks or even months would really upset the Taliban anymore than what we had already done, I mean we’ve been there for more than a decade.
The point would be that it would have given more time for people to make their way to the airbase, and for more than just a couple airplanes full of people evacuate.
The only reason the Taliban was able to capture Kabul so quickly is because they and the security forces knew that the US wasn’t providing any air cover.
Eh, I guess it’s a matter of opinion. To me knowingly finishing your opponents mistake is worse than making an honest one yourself.
I may be a little biased though, as I have had the opportunity to provide healthcare to a few of the Afghan interpreters that were lucky enough to evacuate and make it state side.
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, so they had all been pretty banged up, missing limbs, or had lower limbs injuries that affected their mobility. But their personal injuries were nothing compared to how much uncertainty they faced about not knowing about the well being of extended family and friends still in Afghanistan, a home they will likely never have the chance to ever visit again.
don’t see how this is laid on Biden since Trump agreed to the withdrawal and timeline
Trump made the original withdrawal date and Biden arbitrarily stuck to it when he came into office.
He was under no real obligation to stick to the timeline and it was a betrayal to every Afghan citizen that worked with us. I don’t really care what Republicans bitch and moan about.
Yeah, not really comparable when it comes to war crimes. If someone wanted to conflate a topic that makes both countries look similarly bad in an honest light, it would be the treatment of ethnic minorities.
Feel like that speech would have meant more when he still had the power to do anything about it. Instead of going to war against this oligarchy he chose to cash his political capital on a rushed pull out of Afghanistan, and to kill a bunch of Palestinians.
I for one will be sowing all my seed incredibly close together, the plants will grow stronger together. Also all birds are now counter revolutionary, get out your noisiest banging pans my dudes.
Also, how do I invest in pig iron futures?
Oh, I was just pondering the efficiency. If Co2 is held in suspension and only the top layer of sediment is going to be exposed to the carbon in the water, and not to a degree of co2 more concentrated than normal.
