One of my favorites hasn't been mentioned. Or at least I didn't see it.

All female Brazilian band. I don't know or care about their sexuality.

Who are these candidates with a "bold climate agenda"? I don't know any political party in any country, where I'd say 'they've got a bold climate agenda'.

The article is about an experiment, where people are exposed to 35°C wet bulb temperatures, but in different settings. Sometimes lower temperatures but higher humidity, sometimes vise versa, but always 35°C wet bulb temperature.

So far the assumption was, that humans can't survive a 35°C wet bulb temperature for longer than 6 hours. And at current warming this is unlikely to be naturally the case within this century.

However the experiment gives hints to believe that humans can't survive at lower wet bulb temperatures either. It looks like with lower temperatures and higher humidity, humans can get very close to that 35°C wet bulb temperature, however people seem to struggle more with higher temperatures and lower humidity.

A possible explanation could be, that while more sweat evaporates in lower humidity, the body has a limit for how much sweat it can produce. And if you keep raising the temperature, that the human body simply can't produce enough sweat to cool itself.

That's pretty much what I took away from the article. They mentioned they experiment with several people, however the article was mainly about on person in the experiment, a 30ish year old, athletic male.

Edit: add some graphs from the article. Sorry for low quality, but as you said, the layout is quite atrocious and on my phone it keeps jumping around on it's own, so I lost patience.

Someone, who ridicules people for some characteristic while they are in the process of improving that characteristic, has understood so little about life.

Unfortunately my hardware is too old to play games that are like that.

But I've noticed the same with mobile games. My policy is: if that single player game doesn't start without internet access it gets deleted.

My wife, but please don't call me that!

I thought it was because proper farming.

Like being able to support larger groups of people, where individuals could specialize in other things than hunting, gathering and whatever else was keeping the early humans busy.

On the other hand I've heard we've been possibly farming long before 10,000 BCE.

The second big change is that when you transition from one age to the next—there are three ages, Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern—you'll pick a new civilization to lead, one that was at the height of its power during the age in question. So you might go from controlling Rome in Antiquity to Mongolia during the Exploration age.

Well, I still play civ4 bts, never went beyond civ5 and unless I update my hardware probably won't try civ6 and civ7 anytime soon.

But what you mean, you'll change civilization midgame? I can't wrap my head around this concept. Or does your civilization simply change it's name?

Ah yeah, this guy. I had a great laugh during the pandemic, when he said, he would get the vaccine in public and later said it can't be public, because for some reason it was really important to him to get that needle into his ass. Best was the doctor, who said something like 'you must not inject anything in the central area of the buttocks!'.

Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!

Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people's sex life, if they aren't attracted to them?

And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don't get it.

Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn't consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it's a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn't think about that.

Great! Gojira is my favorite environmentalist metal band! Love their often interesting rhythmic choices and their atmospheric sounds.

Oh common, are we really circling this discussion forever?

We need to reduce burning fossil fuels, everything else is nice, but doesn't really make a dent in the graphs.

Nothing thrills my empty soul like a life long game of Climate Russian Roulette.

I like the idea that it were the outfits of some industrial revolution heavy metal band.

It won't help, the other lobster has diabetes, so it pisses with an accent.

Doctor, are you saying I don't need to change my habits and stop my alcoholism in order to help my dying liver? I can just eat painkillers and will feel like normal? Cheers!

The title kinda implies we get to net zero at all.

Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that one day on Earth there will be net zero carbon emissions. But will it be because humanity plans to and will work on it or because we screwed things up so badly.

I don't have a good feeling about that.

I actually watched that episode last night, so that post was kinda jumping at me. What are the odds...

Sagan, a real teacher. Not only smart, there are quite a few smart people. But also able to make something complicated easily understood. To make something abstract sound straight. To make something minds can't grasp comprehensible. A beautiful ability!

It would not, though. I assume your glasses to have a larger surface than your eyes. Additionally, eyelash do are real good job in filtering the air in front of your eye.

Source: was wearing glasses for 25 years before I got my eyes fixed 7 years ago.

And when they're moving, they're highly inefficient as well. With a displacement ship hull designed to part the water their top speed is limited by their own length. A ship cannot overtake its own bow wake and with a length of let's say 70 meters you end up at a top speed of about 20 knots. Which isn't slow, but also not that much faster than cargo or passenger transport (maybe going 10 to 15 knots).

While a cargo ship is mostly longer and could theoretically sail faster, it is designed to be economical. It gets an engine that is most efficient at a certain speed, for example 12 knots at ahead standard, the propeller is cut for efficiency etc.

A yacht is designed to be comfortable and fast. It gets powerful engines that combust however much they need to combust. The propeller may be designed to produce less noise or vibration instead of being most fuel efficient.
