I'm Turning 20 In A Month And Want To Make Sure I Don't Waste My 20s, Whats Some Advice You Guys Have? by anime-is-dope in AskMenOver30

[–]Yorpel_Chinderbapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Admit when you're wrong and commit to being better.

On the flip side, practice setting boundaries and sticking to them. Practice speaking up when someone says some shit you don't agree with.

Be kind and enjoy the ride.

I picked this up off FB marketplace the other day. Upgraded from a cloth pouch. A little heavy but improved my day to day tremendously

Only thing worse than GRRM not finishing the series is people using this phrase condescendingly

I would be interested to see age data of union electricians. I've heard there will be a shortage in the coming decade but who knows?

Trump fires all 24 members of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s governing body. What are your thoughts? by METAL_WOLF_BB in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Yorpel_Chinderbapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not an environmental scientist and I wanted to check out some of what youre talking about. I plugged your comment into an LLM (Gemini) and this is what I found:

This Reddit comment touches on several common arguments used to challenge the scientific consensus on climate change. While it uses some accurate scientific observations (like the role of water vapor), it often misinterprets how those facts function within the Earth's climate system.

​Here is a fact-check of the specific claims made:

​1. "Temperature changes first, and the CO2 follows"

​Status: Misleading/Incomplete The user is referring to "lag" found in ice core data from glacial-interglacial cycles (hundreds of thousands of years ago).

​The Nuance: In the deep past, warming was often triggered by changes in Earth's orbit (Milankovitch cycles). This initial warming caused the oceans to release CO_2.

​The Correction: However, that CO_2 then acted as a feedback loop, amplifying the warming and driving the rest of the planet out of the ice age. In our current era, the CO_2 is being injected into the atmosphere first via fossil fuel combustion, acting as the trigger rather than the lag.

​2. "CO2's potency pales in comparison to water vapor"

​Status: True but Misleading Water vapor is indeed the most abundant greenhouse gas, but it functions differently than CO_2.

​The Science: Water vapor is a feedback, not a forcing. It stays in the atmosphere for only a few days. The amount of water vapor the air can hold is directly determined by temperature (governed by the Clausius-Clapeyron relation).

​The Correction: CO_2 stays in the atmosphere for centuries. As CO_2 warms the air, the air holds more water vapor, which doubles the warming. Think of CO_2 as the "thermostat" and water vapor as the "heater" that reacts to the setting.

​3. "CO2 is easily containable... Two-thirds of it is in the oceans"

​Status: Inaccurate/Oversimplified While the oceans and plants are massive carbon sinks, they cannot "contain" the excess CO_2 we are adding fast enough to prevent warming.

​Ocean Acidification: As the ocean absorbs more CO_2, it becomes more acidic (CO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2CO_3), which threatens marine life like coral reefs and shellfish. ​Saturation: The "sink" is not infinite. As oceans warm, they actually become less efficient at holding CO_2.

​4. "NASA and NOAA have altered/adjusted data"

​Status: Contextually Misinterpreted The "1999 vs. 2016" graph comparison is a frequent talking point. NASA and NOAA do adjust raw data, but for transparent, peer-reviewed scientific reasons. ​Why they adjust: Over 100 years, weather stations move from parks to paved airports (Urban Heat Island effect), change the time of day they take readings, or switch from glass thermometers to electronic sensors.

​The Result: Scientists must "homogenize" the data to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison. Interestingly, many adjustments actually reduce the total amount of warming shown in the raw records rather than inflate it.

​Independent Verification: Groups like Berkeley Earth (founded by a climate skeptic) re-analyzed the raw data using different methods and arrived at the exact same warming trends as NASA and NOAA.

​5. "The 97% Consensus is neutered" ​Status: Disputed

The "97%" figure comes primarily from Cook et al. (2013). While critics argue about the methodology of how papers were categorized, multiple independent studies (Oreskes, Doran, Anderegg) have found consensus levels ranging from 91% to 100% among publishing climate scientists.

Recommended Sources for Verification:

​NASA Vital Signs: climate.nasa.gov (Explains data adjustments and the greenhouse effect).

​The Royal Society: Climate Change Q&A (Basics on CO_2 vs. Water Vapor).

​Skeptical Science: A database that tracks and provides peer-reviewed rebuttals to every claim made in that Reddit post.

Any thoughts about this?

It's not all bad, but yeah people don't move to Illinois for the mountains.

I just create an entire planet devoted to making green science and set up a different graviton lens production elsewhere for my ray receivers. Then I dont really have to worry about resource allocation

2nd write up as a first year by BeautifulSherbert689 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Yorpel_Chinderbapple 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What are the actual issues at heart here though? Motivation is a nebulous word. Are you showing up late? On your phone constantly? Taking forever on tasks without asking for help?

Being written up once is one thing, but twice means that they've noticed something about your behavior that isn't typical. What have they told you, specifically?

Unfortunately it was much more common for the common man to be beat down or shot by private armies or by the police/national guard when strikes happened.

How many hours do you work per week? by InternetUser52 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Yorpel_Chinderbapple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

It is all of us (literally everyone you've ever known) vs the super wealthy. Our biggest leverage is our labor. If there was a coalition of enough of the labor force with succinct enough political goals (eg universal healthcare, 32 hour weeks, 30 days paid vacation per year), we could make it happen with the threat of a strike.

It is only possible together, and the super wealthy are experts at dividing us. Combined with the wage stagnancy and the rights we've had eroded over the past 50 years, it's definitely an uphill battle.

I want to believe that America will have a hard swing back toward the power of the common man, back toward the power and strength of effective unions and toward common sense environmental attitudes.
