  • You could try to change out the litter. ime Purinas Tidy Cats is best; though, try not to get any of the scented ones. If it's not the litter, than it is perhaps a growth somewhere in his respiratory system, maybe their sinus. Or, hopefully, it's just something that's stuck up there that he now has the time and energy to deal with.

  • Where to start researching topics online

    Jump

  • For me it all has to do with the search terms, and maybe that I use duck duck go.

    Like, if you want to know something use words that would be in the peer reviewed paper about that topic. "Long term consequences of glyphosate use in soil biomes" not "Is glyphosate bad for forests"

    Hmm but also most of the papers I find are on science direct (a website), and if it's pay walled I then go on to sci-hub and see if it's on there. If I reeeeeeaaalllyyyy want to read it I email the authors directly, and usually they find time to get back to me between begging for grant money and doing actual science stuff.

  • For soil fertility, I recommend using the corpse(s) of an oligarch or two to enrich the soil (Human Composting). Would likely have to use some sort of anaerobic (no oxygen) composting set up so the right bacteria can get to work. This way you help solve the crisis, in part, and get some high quality soil.

    Buuut that's longer term stuff that will take a while to set up. There are still a bunch of veges you can plant; beets, swiss chard, arugala, lettuce, turnips, kale, spinach, probably a bunch of others. Go grab some of that stuff, dig out a plot in your yard (if no yard use pots) and stick 'em in there. Usually there's instructions on the packet on how to and how deep to place the seeds, how often to water them, etc. The same information is easily found in so many places online also. Don't worry about soil fertility this year. If you have enough space you could just dig another plot and use that one.

    Best thing to do is to start small and learn how you want to do things. Planning out an entire self sustaining garden eco-system would be a lot, even for someone with a well-callused green thumb.

  • Tbh I don't think they have that capability anymore. Their newest nuclear-capable missile system is the Oreshnik. One of them blew up on the launcher, another blew up in orbit. Another, although succesful launch and re-entry, hit Russian occupied territory and was assumed to be ~40km off target. A third hit some sort of private workshop in a forest.

    Ofc one doesn't have to be accurate with nuclear weapons, but I know they imagined what would have happened if those missiles had nuclear warheads on them.

    They have other systems too though, and I don't know anything about them.

  • Everyday, whenever I hear the hum of a combustion engine. It's the sound a group of people make when they're indirectly killing someone; however, as of yet that person likely isn't known to them and the death happens maybe in a few years so they can easily ignore these facts and continue to pretend that they are a good person.

    The most prudent passage for me is the lyrics of the poem spoken in God Speed You! Black Emperor's song Dead Flag Blues:

    We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.

    What scares me is a humans ability to ignore things. To continue to behave in such a way, to maintain a lifestyle, that is excessively detrimental to themselves and everyone and everything they have ever known and loved and will come to know and love.

    They can easily come up with excuses for their actions, exactly like an addict, and just like an addict you can't use logic with them. I am sure there are people reading this, if they got this far, that are thinking up thousands of excuses and reasons for why they continue to burn fossil fuel for their own convenience. How to dismiss this somehow, with an angry reply or whatever else. As if the chemical waste they themselves released into the atmosphere doesn't count, as if it somehow did not contribute to the catastrophic biosphere collapse that has already killed millions of people. Hundreds of millions. As if they can be forgiven for that small transgression. As if by being part of the group they can avoid blame for the groups actions and it's consequences.

    They simply can't give a shit, because they're good people.

  • Not really no, it's just quite rude to say something like that when someone asks for help. At least you didn't tell them to ask ChatGPT, but that's kind of the same thing.

  • To me, AI is most impactful in ways it was originally created for: combing through large data sets to make connections, even if that data set is a picture, or fifty of them. E.g., an ai was used to look at pictures taken with a microscope and it was able to pick out different structures/organisms without staining. Similar systems were also used to find discrete hints of far off galaxies than astronomers would struggle to detect without making their data quite noisy.

    The big companies had nothing to do with these afaik, especially since the researchers that wrote the papers used machine learning in there methodology instead of the colloquial "AI", which I will always see as a misnomer until such time an AI is generally accepted to be someone, which I don't believe will happen anytime soon with our level of technology and failing biosphere.

  • I think there will be some crazy scientific breakthrough that will change everything.

    Totally baseless, and it's mostly the idiot optimist inside me that believes it, but I kind of have to believe it else I'll go bananaser then I already am.
