Haha yeah, things are very “faster than expected” so who knows how high we’ll get. Maybe we should stop
worrying and think of it as a civilization al high score.
I’ve read that Anthropic’s yearly revenue is in the single/double digit billions (want to say 13.5, but I’m not sure) so this company’s error would account for 4% (if my 13.5b is the number) of their yearly revenue in one month…
Ok thanks for that, I was going back and forth and then just defaulted to my double add 32 that I do for outdoor temps (my wife thinks in metric and I’m hobbled with Fahrenheit so I do ballpark conversions) but I thought something was off about 40 degrees lol
Trying to understand—is y axis surface temp in Celsius? So like mean forecast is a 4C temp anomaly in the positive…? Like a 40 degree F temp difference, totally wild.
Curious to know also, I know this is largely sited in pacific/equatorual, but if you have this kind of temp anomaly, does that have any implications on ice free arctic? I mean I guess obviously yes since it just means there’s more heat in the overall pool of water, but wondering how much it would increase timeframe/likihood.
Guessing that offer was to humiliate her prior to Mossad calling to give her the real deal: we’ll hurt your family. “You’re so insignificant and below us that we can buy you off with a traffic fine bribe” j/k we’re going to hurt you and your family.
It does feel like a strange choice… are they doing a corpo retreat that weekend with the cabinet; trust falls and a hike? Is Trump going to have some of them executed and buried in the woods? Find out in the next episode, airing Sunday prime time!
I don’t know the exact thing; but I think it was discussed a bit in the news mega—basically there’s potential for corrosion and bad maintenance can lead to the stuff (whatever the latent state they’re keeping it in the tank) reacting and the reaction is thermal and sorta keeps itself going/getting worse—it puts off very toxic vapor (hence the evacuation) and they’re trying to slow or limit the reaction by cooling the system—not clear if that can actually avoid awful outcomes or just limit them by limiting the thermal potential overall, etc.?
Also holy crap just looked immune privlidge up and the central nervous system is part of the group—is that why rabies can lurk for years and then crawl up your spine and kill you?
Ah thanks—that sounds much more accurate than my vague description. It’s so interesting that there are these sort of autonomous zones in our bodies. My understanding is that when the viruses are in there, they aren’t necessarily a threat to you anymore—basically just sorta hiding out. But certainly in the testes you could imagine it being a problem for transmission sexually…
I think it’s like the dude who had Ebola in his eye, it can get inside the environment and stay there and the body’s immune system doesn’t follow it in. So, I guess, hantavirus is stored in the balls?
I do not understand the vagueness of most of the reporting on this, nor the ironclad insistence that it requires intimate/prolonged contact to spread. They keep insinuating that it’s being spread through contact or surfaces in their messaging, but there have already been some transmissions this time that make that seem iffy. The case study on the Argentinian outbreak of the same strain (2019) seemed to suggest some possible airborne transmission and did not necessarily require close proximity or long duration exposure—some of the people infected by the wedding were sitting tables away from the infected person and only overlapped with them for about an hour before that person went home feeling sick.
All that to say; I don’t see strong evidence to freak out, but I also hate the very clear political/post-covid hesitance to treat this as a thing that is actually threatening. Letting people wander around in public with a disease you suspect might be airborne and that has a proven fatality rate of 30-50% is really irresponsible, but “muh freedoms” I guess. In the atomized marketplace that has been subbed in for “society” it’s up to you to maintain your fitness for work, bucko!
Yeah this was my thought—we don’t have the department that works on that stuff, sorry! Someone could eventually lawsuit or drag execs into a hearing over their poor performance responding to statutory required requests, but how likely is that at the moment…
Ok but the CIA being just one big chain of idiots and the George Clooney robo dildo machine were pretty amusing.
