Not immediately throwing my clothes in a wash and showering when I got home like usual. That small mistake resulted in a months long battle with bedbugs. Never again.

I regret nothing

Second smallest domino - 2008 Subprime Mortgage Collapse

Some middle domino - “But it’s Nic Cage November. We have to watch a Nic Cage movie. We can watch City of Angels. It has that song you like.”

Second biggest domino - COVID-19 Pandemic

Little domino - “Yeah I can totally play Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.”

Big domino - “Our second child is finally asleep, but I think they pooped.”

Getting someone a book they didn’t ask for but they end up loving is such a good feeling.

The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.

You must be surprised every time you watch a mafia movie.

“Wait just a gosh darn minute! They said they were gonna take care of that guy!”

My my my, those oil pipelines are looking awfully explody.

Wow! That is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

Neat! Thanks for the link.

Cool. I’ll just do the math then. I’m sure it’s just as easy as all those people on Facebook say doing your own research is. Sorry, I don’t mean to sound flippant about this, but fuzzy napkin math without sources or stats or some kind of methodology does not make a strong claim. Without that kind of specificity or rigor, we’re just two assholes on the internet misinterpreting each others’ words.

Anyway, totally agree with that second paragraph. And I’m certain there’s a ton of sources to back you up on being at 1990s CO2 levels. I wouldn’t personally consider a few more decades of wiggle room to be a non-issue, that’s just me. Though, looking outside my widow at the hellscape of 100% humidity and melting assault I sure wish we had invested more in nuclear energy.

I’m curious how mass nuclear energy adoption in the 90s would have offset the impact of agriculture, livestock, and the oil and gas industry. I don’t see how nuclear energy would have made climate change a non-issue.
