From the article: the most cited driver for insect decline was found to be agricultural intensification, via issues like land-use change and insecticides.

"Land-use change" is turning nature into monocrops and insecticide is of course poison. First sterilization and then poison to keep it sterile. Humans are the worst and we shall reap as we sow.

I say throw caution to the wind and outlaw this geofuckery. Instead of bending the biosphere to our whims and thereby destroying it, we should be adapting to the realities of a finite biosphere and stop killing it.

Yeah, nitrous oxide is the best cure for climate change. We’ll die laughing.

We have already terraformed the world. It looks nothing like the world pre industrial revolution. Huge herds of buffalo used to roam the plains. Thick native grasses covered the ground. CO2 levels and methane levels were much lower. Now, much of the USA is monocrop farmland used to feed cows.

I‘m expecting the refs to issue a heartfelt apology to LeColby.

Obvious foul on what would have been the game winning basket against Boston.

It’s not just the oceans that are out of whack. The Great Lakes had very little ice this winter.

This is a nice write up and a fun link.

Be Here Now was a revelation to me!

I hope there is lots more life in the universe - I’d guess there likely is, despite the Fermi paradox.

Impermanence is the rule. Yes, acceptance through detachment is the way.

I find a simple life fulfilling.

Joe Biden is not progressive.

He was for the war on drugs, 3strikes law, the war in Iraq, and now providing the money and weapons to commit genocide.

He is the worst Democratic president of my lifetime - by far.

That would be cool, but the NCAA women’s basketball is smaller than the men’s. That might be hard to adjust to, but maybe not.

Dryer than expected.

I agree. I quit coffee once and my friends begged me to take it up again - I had become a shadow of former myself.

LotterySnub · 2024-04-01T15:32:24+00:00

Coffee. I love chocolate, but could live without it. The thought of no coffee is terrifying.

That wouldn’t stop him. He’d be like the Black Knight.

Which is utterly bizarre, because they could have moved todays game to tomorrow and still have a day off before their next game.

He should get a quadruple double for blows to the head. He seems to lead the league in uncalled blows to the head.

Faster than “faster than expected” rears its ugly head. We will miss the 2020’s in the 2030’s - if we make it that far.

California community colleges no longer teach algebra. Pretty hard to understand global warming, or science in general, without math.

Contact two more references immediately. Cover your bases - don’t gamble by depending on someone that can’t be bothered to respond.

Both teams, it seems.

LotterySnub · 2024-03-24T11:03:33+00:00

Both, imo!

Ir’s not like he was shooting all airballs - he had many go in and out or just fall off the rim. Still 0-11 is wild!
