The bad side of this:

  • It's going to be stupidly expensive to fix
  • It's going to take years to hire and train, or rehire lost staff to do the fixing
  • People are going to lose services and probably money that they need
  • It achieves nothing

The good side:

Fun film, was it Twister or the other one. This one was better than the other film

Edit: Ah the other was Into the storm. Not nearly as good. Didn't even have cows. Four stars.

I have to keep a VGA connected monitor for my old machines - the oldest drives it at CGA. That monitor is an old LCD

That would put it right back into the atmosphere, though it would reduce the amount of fossil fuels used

Perhaps do this once levels are back to pre industrial and the excess is in oil wells

Perhaps we should convert all the excess to fuel and pump it into oil wells so any successor civilisations can fuck up their climate like we have

The company that was trying to use bacteria to make fuel from water and the CO2 from the air shut down a few years ago

You may be able to get away with stacking the cut trees in deserts, where the dryness may prevent bacterial action

Edit: I watched the Cody's lab video. I'm now on team asteroid 2024 yr4. If it isn't going to hit we ought to try to get it to hit the Southern Ocean, and if it will hit we should aim it

You would presumably capture the carbon using excess solar and wind power, which is also the cheapest power there is, sometimes going negative

Is your capture number including the cost of liquifying the CO2 for storage?

We have such technology already, it's just too expensive

Until the tree dies and rots or burns

Specifically replanting all the forests we cut down during the age of sail is just capturing the carbon that was released when those sailing ships rotted

If we wanted to keep the carbon captured which we captured with plants, we would have to store those plants where they are safe from rot or burn them in a (not yet invented) carbon capturing furnace

Specifically it's not trying to be an over unity machine. Energy is spent pushing air through the filter medium; energy is spent moving the filter to the CO2 extractor; energy is spent heating the filter (or whatever the extraction system is); energy is spent compressing or freezing CO2 for storage

BG3 follows tabletop RPG style. You can fight your way through or sneak your way through or talk your way through

Fail to talk well or sneak well means you get to try the fight method

At very least if sneaking fails you ought to be able to run and hide and sneak again with it a little harder 'cause they're looking for you

I played BG3 at less than 15fps for a while, but upgraded my PC when the video card crashed on about half of the cutscenes and whenever fireworks were used at close range
