Isn't that the tornado safety video everyone got in high school?

Dang it. I always forget one.

Okay, first thing to realize. All large power is steam power. It's just a matter of different ways to heat the water and propel the turbine inside the generator. Space is really bad at dispersing heat. To the point where the problem with space stations and ships hasn't been how to keep them warm, it's how to keep them cool. We also already know we can pump heat around with water. So I'm wondering if it's possible to off world the hottest parts of human development and then use the heat generated as a recycled energy source for the space stations we would house that infrastructure in.

Plastic is basically free. It's a waste product from refining oil. That's why it's so cheap. Instead of telling the petroleum industry they needed to properly deal with their hazardous waste we let them sell it. It would be like a coal mine finding a use for the chemical soup that remains after processing, and then just yeeting it everywhere.

I saw the documentary once. The order is Tree, Cow, Tractor, and finally another House.

Crafting armor is 100 percent superior to found and bought armor. But if you don't like crafting, the found and bought stuff will get you through. Also don't sell or dump old crafted armor pieces, you need them to craft the next tier up.

At least until Milton casually tosses a tree at it.

Aluminum is actually one of the most recyclable things we have. To the point where it's better, environmentally, to have single use aluminum cups that get recycled every time.

Even if it was brightly glowing, predators would not approach. They're actually very skittish around new stuff. And once they figure out it's the giant deer with head knives, they'd refrain from going near them because of that. Just like they already do.

It's literally unreadable to us. Thank you for the run down.

At will employment. Even if it is illegal they could fire you the next day with no repercussions as long as they don't say, "I'm firing you for (ABC illegal reason)". You'd be surprised how often employers fuck that up and get sued successfully.

No, it's just over sampling on the Internet.

A Federal Reserve database of master accounts reveals “stunning” information in Wyoming-based Custodia Bank’s precedent-setting lawsuit against the Fed for denying its master account.

The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
