I understand the basic overuse and mismanagement :) All of these things are true and quantifiable to a point - But I did mean to ask how was this measurement indicative of a specific amount of despoiled water, if all that satellite measures is relative changes in gravitational motion. A re-read of the article and this segment seems to have answered the question - "dumping more rain in faster and more powerful storms that are more likely to run off than to seep into drier and more compact surfaces." which seems to mean it was indeed being absorbed instead of staying in sloshy bits on the surface or becoming atmospheric, therefore causing detectable gravitational wobble.

Thanks though, for the clarification.

Where are they implying it went? Did it evaporate out into space? Was it absorbed into the earth's crust? Or is it just becoming unpotable - and if that, how does the change in earth's wobble that they use to make this claim imply that water has lost it's freshness?

Pretty early days but potentially promising, if it's cheap - "exotic" materials rarely are though.

the bird issues in the desert were probably unique to the ivanpah test generators that focus a large numbers of mirrors at a single point to heat a molten salt powered generator. The idea behind them is the molten salt retains the heat and can be used to continue power generation throughout the night as well as the day.

The one from decades ago was fine and kind of funny actually - it was the gay one but grayscale. This one is shoplifting the trans colors. Also only chuds will ever fly this, so at least it functions as a do-not-interact signifier.

Trying to imagine a more supervillan front sounding corporation than "Drax Group"

Bugs are alright man, I've had several different preparations and enjoyed most of them. The ice cream was particularly good! Though I am not enthusiastic about trying the roach bars from Snowpiercer the way these fearmongers would like you to conceive of entomophagy. A total ecological collapse would have many more things to worry about than just your nutritional sources.

was scrolling down to see if anybody had mentioned them yet, but yeah when they have stock they seem to really know their stuff when it comes to footwear. the youtube channel is very informative

I really enjoyed this book, it definitely helped kindle something in my spirit to seek change more actively
