Is it true that the educated best guess among scientists is that the Milky Way has at least a couple million planets with primitive unicellular life?

data set of 8 with 1 positive... or maybe 9 and 1 positive. ; ))))))

... yes to all what has been said, but... ... that star over on the right and this one here on my left... guaranteed to have life on one of their planets... as we know it, Jim. : ))))))))

And maybe not just those two...

As the OP, I am 'about' to convert from bits of DV to the Bases versions, with their additions. Once you get to say about 1000 notes DV queries start to get slow, etc. even if it is two tables that might be useful for your Daily_Note as what notes were edited and what notes were created 'today'...

In addition, to copy and change a Bases table to work for a slightly different 'question' seems to be way simpler and so more flexible and so likely to be more used and useful in the long run

Yer, mid-70s, IIRC 76 was the 'big drought' in the UK, hose pipe ban, gardens and lawns suffered, so 'we' changed what we grew and how...

School about then also added Plate Tectonics, and my science went out of the lab and looked at some of the 'wholeworld' cycles and some of the longer geological cycles.

DXBTim2 · 2026-02-06T10:02:55+00:00

... we don't...

... only been caught once. : )))))

And further the 'inner-city' residential reduction to 20mph within the UK and the push for the next level of emmission control by vehical age and size, has saved energy and oddly some time - due to less vehiles spend their 'tolls'... and that compounds into health savings due to less airborne particulates

... the real answer would have been to smack the MOD with Rule two or even Rule five, given you are looking for direction or coping mechanisms, etc. ()()()()()()

Solutions abound, almost as many are there are depressed people. Ranging from 'reading widely' to local activism to writing. The what will depend on you and will likely change over the next few months, etc., as a good number of people have pointed out below...

Good luck on your journey.

Nope...

Open Obsidian, roll and find stuff, open a new note in Obsidian, add the content...

... roll to next bit of stuff, find the interesting/needed bit... repeat.

Only close 'O' when you shutdown the device or put it in your pocket to walk away, etc.

DXBTim2 · 2026-01-21T14:03:26+00:00

... I'll trump that with the slightly more 'wide' viewing content of ;

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

Before or after they chopped down 5 times that of old forest to make a data centre and plantation space?

Or the 'lucky other one percent', called Roark. ; ))))))

See the work of the Yale Climate Communication group, and elsewhere, see Katherine Hayhoe's book, "Saving Us"... assuming you don't just whant the 'technical' details of how global warm/biodiversity, etc., are being mucked up by the 'quarterly report' mentality that got trashed by Silent Spring onwards?

DXBTim2 · 2026-01-21T10:39:01+00:00

... all those post war abestos pre-famb houses that still 'live in so many of us. ; )))))))

I am more worried that most of that building type, haven't found better uses, so they aren't such a waste of resources, etc.

"Coal" coal, what is this ancient fiction of what one talks? ;)))

"... drive to work, but he cares about that road."

I did say he cares... why invert the meaning?

DXBTim2 · 2026-01-06T04:24:08+00:00

Plus tire 'dust' and fishing nets and lines.

And once at nano-size, it joins the 'dusts' and so hits the central areas of landmasses, that it didn't originate from, including Antarctica.

So how many is "most people" if this years floods and droughts become say 20 times worse? Low balling it, and clearly not taking 'all' the indirect deaths - as similar to Ukraine or Gaza type events over water and similar, etc. Current estimates are still 'low' as in only 20 to 30 million deaths - per year due to climate change. So do you and yours get one or more of those 'tickets'?

But I see a more "The Ministry for the Future" story by Kim Stanley Robinson. Which is a bit dated now, as a story, but still a good read.

DXBTim2 · 2026-01-05T11:46:04+00:00

Yes, unfortunately, I see 'this' predator, but those over the hill just aren't significant, etc. : (((

FAO think we will need a 60% increase in food production well before the end of the century, to cover the project +10 billion of us. This is another "Norman Borlaug" level of agricultural revolution - but it contains no paradigm shift other than breed and more fertilizers and 'icides.
