Compound that over time, and you get what SF is. (The same is happening in other cities like Seattle). It’s heartbreaking that for so long the systemic issues of these places went ignored. From my understanding there is change, but it’s only come once problems like homeless have reached a tipping point instead of the resident preemptively addressing it years/decades ago.

The ecosystem in the west has adapted to drought, but they never adapted for a sudden increase in drought in only a few decades (not long enough for evolution to create useful adaptations on a large scale to speciate) + a competing species reducing total avail land and taking up water supply.

It is difficult not to blame industry because they profit off continued pollution & resource exploitation. The markets have a larger short term incentive to maintain the status quo

This doesn’t track. No politician from either side wants to limit themselves out of a job.

In my new home. I have better access to medical care, the outdoors are better funded, voting is simple and easy.

Both parties want control over the populace. The idea one party is advocating for more “liberty” is a reductive way of viewing politics

I’ve always had a passing interest in this subject. Will be cool to know how folks are systemizing this field

The Wii Fit Balance Board + Wii Fit games did this. I don’t think it saw wide stream appeal at the time, but I still use my Wii Fit occasionally to this day.

Ring Fit adventure also does this. Albeit it’s a lot less fun to use

Gamifying workouts is a huge market for folks. I guess the Apple Watch does this too? Without the feedback.

Curious to see how ML solutions improve on this

A lot of fish love sand/gravel baths. So when they spot a diver in the tank they’ll either look for food or wait for when to sprinkle sand/gravel overhead.

If you own an aquarium at home you can also begin to learn the personality of your tank critters. (I also define personality in animals as “different” from personality in humans. They are not equivalent, but individual animals still have unique behaviors that separate them from others in their species)

If you use Instagram, try and follow your local ZAA/AZA accredited aquarium or zoo. They often share clips of unique behavior & can often be pretty educational.

5 degrees is a nightmare scenario for the whole world. Albeit I think it’s far more likely if we have to finally admit we’re on the pathway to 3 degrees, many countries might independently deploy solar geoengineering projects to save their skin (especially island nations)

Be careful with following that thinking trap. If you already think you're not making enough now, you'll fall down the rabbit hole of lifestyle creep where many high paying engineers struggle to get out of.

If youre making decent pay & enjoy your job that sounds like a dream.

Enjoy your life, work isn't everything. Bay Area isn't that nice. You are likely able to live somewhere better (or can move somewhere nicer). I regret moving away from family & friends (albeit I do like the area I'm in now). Spend time with them.

You won't be worrying about your paycheck on your deathbed, but rather whether you lived a fulfilling life. I am certain more pay for less interesting work doesn't match that description ;)

I did find him kind of repetitive at that point. He always made the same arguments, same stories, etc. Not much growth on his part.

I am involved in the climate movement, I know what to do, but imagine how hopeless an average reader might feel after seeing this headline. They might come to wrong conclusions such as "oh I better eat less fish!" No! Get your government to do something. Their carbon footprint is far greater then any one individual.

Feels like a moral wrong to throw this terryfying information on to a readers lap & provide them no ways to take action.
