It doesn't get much denser than downtown Chinese cities, they have specialized in high-density mega-sized apartment buildings.
Even large US downtowns are dwarfed by the average Chinese city downtown flush with LED skyscrapers. They have way more people and manufacturing than other countries so it shouldn't be too surprising.
I don't think a human who read that would start a cover letter by stating they are a bot.
I also upgraded my exhaust fan to make sure nothing got into the room. I got a variable speed DC fan so that I can leave it on a low speed after cutting something smelly to help the smell go outside until it dissipates.
I had the most issues with smell when I was using cheap wood from home Depot. When I switched to real Baltic birch the smell wasn't as bad so I think the other stuff had chemicals in it.
Acrylic still smells bad but it dissipates quickly.
"Business in the U.S. is almost not susceptible to political shit. "
That's because capitalists control politics. Their profits are more important than social wellbeing.
I only pointed back at the US to help reframe the situation in readers' minds who are mostly US based. The list of environmental damage by the US would also be too long to list so it seems unfair to have comments presenting 1 side without mentioning the other.
China is only such a large polluter because it is manufacturing everything for the entire world. All of our nice living conditions in the US and Europe come at the expense of developing nations. Poor factory conditions, rampant air, water, and ground pollution, deforestation, poverty. These are pushed onto every nation below it in the supply chain.
The US is held back by corporations that demand ever increasing profits and by political parties that roadblock each other such that it cannot focus any substantial effort on meaningful initiatives for change.
Likewise, a group of business men in suites are less likely to engage in this behavior. It's impossible for the unicyclist to measure people's class standing but you can get a lot of context clues by their appearance and behavior. Maybe it includes some bias, but for the purpose of logging all interesting responses I thought it was approximate enough.
Imagine if 1/3 of the world gave their babies botex or other face modifications after birth because they thought their babies looked ugly and I was on here defending the baby's rights to not be unnecessarily modified without their consent.
Then you come on here and joke about how passionate I must be about other people's faces. It's not about the faces or genitalia, it's about one's right to bodily autonomy.
It will supposedly be about the size of the regular Pixel 7 which is reasonable size but not as compact as something like the Pixel 2.
I hope that if it sells well it'll encourage them to make more premium small phones.
Building new refineries can take decades and is extremely expensive. The refinery and wells also must be located near radioactive reserves which decay and produce the helium.
You're absolutely right about party balloons not being an existential threat. There are two types of Helium for commercial sale: balloon-grade and Ultra High Purity Grade. Balloon grade Helium is used strictly for balloons and is not adequate to be used as a shielding gas or in any medical capacity. Ultra High Purity Grade has undergone the scrubbing process after extraction, and is safe for welding, industrial and medical applications.
Maybe a few sunken nuclear reactors is already a better alternative? Again, I may be completely wrong, just seems like something that isn't being discussed.
Bunker fuel could hypothetically be re-injected into depleted reservoirs, much like brine water which is a useless byproduct of production. This would increase production costs of other components but at the benefit of the world's climate.
This form of genial mutilation is most often performed on babies for no reason other than perpetuating religious or cultural expectations of the parents.
Visual inspection by the court, Sections 371-372a of the Code of Civil Procedure
This consists of any direct, sensory inspection by the judge for evidential purposes. Contrary to the somewhat misleading term used, ‘Augenschein’, ‘visual inspection’, it may also include sensory inspection by touching, smelling, listening and tasting. Consequently, sound and video recordings and data storage media are also included.
Even though some of these cars have charge speeds much higher than Tesla, it seems to be pretty difficult to actually find a compatible fast charger that is also working.
In all the reviews I've watched of new non-tesla road trips, everyone has awful charging experiences where they are stuck waiting at slow chargers.
What benefits are there to sending humans to Mars? What do we hope to accomplish that couldn't be done better by a barrage of super advanced robots? Even NASA can't articulate a good reason.
It is estimated to cost $1-1.5 trillion to send 9 people on Mars, and upwards of $2 trillion for a minimally staffed base on an uninhabitable planet. That's just for keeping humans alive there, not even for doing serious science. NASA's budget is $25-33 billion per year. We'd be blowing the next 50 years of space dollars to get cool videos instead of sending countless probes to every planet in the solar system.
My main point is, wouldn't it be better to focus that amount of money and effort on developing technologies that allow humans to live on Earth sustainably? Where is the cult-like public support for spending unlimited amounts of money on preventing mass extinction on Earth, the only habitable planet in our solar system?

Maybe after we accomplish that we could think about making Mars a sustainable and habitable planet too?
It's strange to frame the situation as if the lower class workers are lucky compared to those in the owner class.
