I've never heard of sound going in a particular direction. Are they throwing their voices under a cone of silence?

What's the difference between talking on a phone and passengers talking?

This horse has been beaten dead over and over. Captain Joe and other airline pilots admitted that it's all about the airlines controlling passengers' attention through deception, and has nothing to do with safety.

At cruise altitude, mobile devices are too far away from towers to operate, so only ground and takeoff/landing ops would be usable externally. It would be more efficient to have femtocells for major carriers onboard relayed to ground stations.

Half of Americans won't get vaccinated. 2/3 or more aren't listening to the muddled, mealy-mouth messages that change every other day. Some people are still wearing masks where it doesn't matter (outside) and others refuse. It's a public health disaster created by bad leadership.

I can go for 70 days without any food and I have a good 40 days supply at home.

If we did something like this or what China did in the first place, it would've died out.

Relying on individual responsibility inexorably leads to a Tragedy of the Commons. Individuals can never be trusted.

The plastics industry pushed recycling (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as an individual's duty to return piles of packaging and single-use items, not the manufacturer's, to subtly shift the blame for microplastics and plastic pollution.

How it would've worked in the 1930's: Mandatory vaccines by social forces. No vaccine, get shunned and shut-out of stores, social gatherings, and commerce. No comfort animals or religious dodges. Do what's right, not because of a Rand Paul grandstanding tantrum or tribal conspiracy theories about freedumbs, but because of common sense and scientific evidence.

It's the women who are shallow because of the premise and captology of Tinder. It's working as intended. If you're not a super attractive man (a model), then you're wasting your time on Tinder.

They're impetuous children who need to be held down and injected for the safety of others. They can't smoke indoors either. Too bad for them if they don't get with the program of protecting lives.

It's not inevitable, it's momentum energy in the system that can be relaxed with bio CCS and other net negative emissions approaches. It depends on the effectivenesses of counter GHG plans.

It's a climate change emergency. It needs oceanic bio CCS and FF curtailment now.

This is what happens with xenophobia, nationalistic vaccines, politicization of vaccines with conspiracy theories, lack of international coordination, vaccinations optional, and slow/unequal vaccine deployment.

A pipe-dream like planting trees.

GM bio CCS using aquatic life is the way to go because the carbon can be easily sunk fown into deep trenches without worrying about it returning the the carbon cycle.

95% of the world is hooked on the screen drug. Most people under 30 can't even socialize.

I'm so glad I moved out of NorCal (Butte County). The West, SW, PNW, Canada and Siberia are desertifying.
