  • Can the guest workers leave at a moments notice? My ignorant vibes based westerner impression was that their situation was extremely draconian and essentially indentured servitude. I distinctly remember stories about passports being confiscated on arrival.

  • Those are just abdls doing kink in public. I will not be convinced otherwise. They might be genuinely right wing also, but they put the diaper on because they wanted to be seen in it and they had an excuse, not as an inscrutable political statement.

  • Chinese scientists reveal glowing plants that could light cities

    Jump

  • I think we're picturing a very different level of brightness achievable per plant. Replacing one street light would require a very large amount of glowing vegetation. Just the maintenance would be prohibitive. A city would need more gardeners than all other civil servants combined. And nevermind whether the fertilizer is produced from sewage or petrochemicals the runoff would be an enormous pollutant in its own right. Also it would be least effective in winter when the need for artificial light is greatest.

  • Imagine all the fertilizer and labor spent on the plants. I agree that more green space would benefit any city but I don't think a monoculture of plants engineered for maximum bioluminescence would make a healthy base for it. Public lighting and public greening are two separate problems and trying to solve both at once means not doing as good a job at either.

  • 'Project Hail Mary' Author Says Avoiding 'Crappy Identity Politics' Is Reason For Film's Huge Success

    Jump

  • It's really revealing how the main reason Hail Mary is better than Artemis is that Weir returned to writing self insert power fantasies instead of pretending he could write a Muslim woman.

    He's a one trick pony and the trick is turning word problems from a textbook into set pieces and stringing them together with reddit quips.

  • Sounds like it might look cool but even if they were able to actually make enough light for a public space I doubt it would actually be more energy efficient to feed water and maintain extensive gardens down every street than to install some LED bulbs.

  • Weir's even worse middle book Artemis has a completely apropos of nothing dig at organized labor in the opening scene. Martian Watney makes fun of vegans for cheep comedy to himself. The signs have been there.

  • Neither you nor anyone else "does debate" ever. This isn't high school. There are no rules of order and there aren't going to be. Obnoxious pedants like yourself reframe arguments you get in as debates so that when you lose you can gesture at some moderator that isn't there or rulebook only you respect to indicate that the time for argument has passed
