> Eels are pretty hardy, says Alistair; they can even travel over land if they need to. To see them gasping and dying on the banks was heartbreaking. “It was apocalyptic.”

> The results found unusually high levels of heavy metals, ammonia levels that were “well outside acceptable limits for any freshwater life” and nitrogen levels that were “toxic to all aquatic life”.

It's quite a long article that deals with many problems the UK has regarding environmental protection, illegal waste dumping and so on. The lack of care and amount of damage is just shocking.

I really recommend a read.

They use it as an analogy with a supernova:

> And now this massive star is about to blow.

> (...) it runs out of the fuel that keeps the monster from collapsing in on itself under its own insanely powerful gravity.

> An imploding star crushes itself into a tiny ball, and the rebound instantly triggers a colossal explosion that lights up the entire galaxy. A bursting AI bubble threatens the entire American economy.

> The gravity inside the bubble is investor expectations.

> In a physics thought experiment, all it takes is tossing a pinch of iron into the furnace of a massive star teetering on the edge of explosion to trigger an instant implosion.

The last one isn't even wrong, since iron is the last element a star can fuse (iron core collapse)

Person 1 sees someone who looks like and identifies as a man. They see a man.

Person 2 sees someone who has a vagina, can bear a child, and was born a woman. They see a woman.

My point was that you can arrive at different conclusions from observing reality by ignoring or arguing away the points that refute you.

You didn't even acknowledge my point of it being the same arguments used by transphobes.

Of course, it's easy to use, because your side is "obviously right". All you have to do is look at "reality".

Doesn't seem to be true, or based on anything.

I wouldn't trust myself with it, so I wouldn't trust others. Lets hope you are right, and that I am the exception.

Why must the energy transition be "move fast and break everything" while the industry and households suffer under the strain of high prices?

It could have been so smooth, it could have gone so well, but the world went mad...

Why doesn't he ban exports right away, forcing Europe to use their stockpiles anyways?

Is it that he can't? So the entire threat is moot?

Is he thinking of using the Graham bill to threaten +100% tarrifs for buying Russian gas?

Man, really? The same argument transphobes use?

"It's observable reality. Just LOOK at her! It's obvious!" compared to "It's observable reality. Just LOOK at him! It's obvious!"

> simple result

I wish it were that simple -_-

Neither are Israel or Russia, so the point is moot.

I think businesses can cope with less than a helicopter crash per year.

I'd enjoy it for fun, to pass the time, to read a dozen follow-up articles. But as a one-off post to learn and inform myself? Ugh.

Unrelated, but two of the many links have ChatGPT referals. I'm not sure what to think of it. I guess it's fine?
