Beluga whale pair move from Ukraine's war-torn Kharkiv to Spain's Valencia (www.reuters.com)

MADRID, June 20 (Reuters) - Marine biologists have moved a pair of beluga whales from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv - the target of daily shelling by Russian forces - to the eastern Spanish city of Valencia, in what they described as a long and risky international rescue operation....

Even in petrostates? But most petrostates are not run by the people or for their people, so petrostates will keep being petrostates until demand for oil in EU/China/India dries up. worldstopexports.com/crude-oil-imports-by-country…

Yea, but who builds infrastructure? Where I live, 50% of the workforce in construction is immigrants.

PS: I’m not saying what you say isn’t true, it’s just weird to see countries that were built by wave after wave of immigrants now say it’s not working anymore. What changed from then to now?

PS2: vox.com/…/3-theories-for-americas-anti-immigrant-… probably it’s inequality making the majority of people feel like if they don’t have enough for themselves, how can new people move in?

also: I was wrong, there’s always been some pushback against the wrong kind of immigrants e.g.:

Democracy, rule of law…none of these are the norm in human history, they are not even intuitive concepts. It takes effort to keep alive against human and historical forces that keep pulling us back into becoming authoritarian shitholes. The great delusion is that since Fukuyama many thought liberal democracy was the inevitable final state whatever stupid shit we do with it…it’s not.

It’s almost like an emotional state. What is complex for dogs is smell, the way they read the local bulletins pissted by all the locals, their health, their fertility, what they have been eating, their emotional state. And then they can leave their own peemail for others to smell and get all the latest community news :)

Feb. 12 – After another unfruitful phone call between Biden and Putin, U.S. officials warned that a Russian attack on Ukraine could come at any time. A Kremlin aide accused the West of creating “hysteria.” “The Americans are artificially inflating the hysteria around the so-called planned Russian invasion,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters after the call between Biden and Putin. “The preconditions for possible provocative actions of the Ukrainian armed forces are being created alongside these allegations.”

We just need to get our heads out of the sand and take these challenges from China seriously in the EU and the US with proper coordinated reindustrialization policies. Tariffs and bans only buy us time.

True, mass parallel charging can fulfill more peak demand faster, but from the point of view of the user, it would still be good to have the option to fill/exchange the battery quickly.

Gsus4 OP , (edited )
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

One thing that would speed it up would be if you could just drop the 1-ton battery by gravity (safely, which I understant is hard on the edges of any hooks holding it, maybe they could use a raised floor, which is what they do in NIO) and snap it back on in 30s or less for a total of 2m. The rest is just your usual parking, pulling the gas hose. Maybe make it go-through so you don’t have to manouver into place.

The point here is not that aluminum oxide “pollutes” on its own, it is that it “speeds up” the harmful reaction between ozone and any chlorine (like CFC) “pollutants” up there without being consumed, so it keeps acting over 30 years. It makes all the pollutants you mention “more effective” at depleting ozone.

Gsus4 OP , (edited )
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

Magnesium oxides can also serve as a catalyst for lots of reactions, but I’m not sure if it will have the same effect in this specific context, I’d guess it would.

That’s why I added the link to the wooden satallites, that also reduces the metal debris somewhat and reduces other effects like radio interference.

Gsus4 OP , (edited )
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

I was actually reviewing the O3 depletion process en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_monoxide and Cl only stops reacting with O3 when it ends up as ClO2, but that is rare, because ClO usually is too short-lived to react with another Cl into Cl2O, so it may be possible that a catalyst like Al2O3 could actually clean up Cl interfering with the ozone layer along with the effect of speeding up the nefarious reaction with O3 :D

@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

heh, yea, the satellites are not just wood for sure, they goofed. But it’s less metals, which helps.

Gsus4 OP ,
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

I was just worried about Kessler syndrome and just felt relaxed that their orbits were low enough to naturally decay and never become a permanent problem. What this research seems to show is that the aluminum oxide dust does not settle in days/weeks, but it is fine enough to stay there for decades :/

Gsus4 OP , (edited )
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

When emissions are in the trillions of tons, I wonder if it would even be measurable.

emission of what? There aren’t trillions of tons of Chlorine in the stratosphere (that’s what interferes with O3) being pumped into the atmosphere. Are you thinking of CO2?

I doubt anybody can give a confident answer today about the value of the effect that a kg of Al2O3 can have per ton of atmosphere at ozone layer height, because that would involve not just doing what they did in the paper, but also figuring out what “shape” the Al2O3 particles have to know what their adsorption surface would be, for e.g. zeolites this can be 16m2 per gram. e.g. sciencenews.org/…/earth-extraterrestrial-space-du… but maybe it can be simply extrapolated from analogous metallic meteorite dust samples :/
