I dont have advice but best of luck with it!

You have a valid point but also having walkable sidewalks is an important thing. You’d need at least a bit of concrete/asphalt to make sure everyone, especially those with disabilities, can move around.

Making sure the leaves are out of the way allows pedestrians to walk safely (no hidden sharp objects, no slipping on wet leaves, etc.) and makes sure those on wheelchairs are also able to pass.

Not sure why raking isn’t more popular though. I’m tormented by leaf blowers in the morning at 7:30.

Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.

It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.

Just one short trip… I just need a bit of nickel

Those are the exact brine lakes I talked about that exist in the bottom of the ocean.

Brine is too dense to be above seawater. They accumulate in the bottom, creating essentially small pockets that kills almost every normal life. Only extremophiles live near it, and even then its usually just surrounding the edges of the lake.

You also can’t exactly guarantee that the brine you make ends up here. They are in the bottom of the ocean, not exactly a place you can pump brine to.

Are there any brine reservoir in the ocean? That doesn’t seem to be a thing. It either mixes properly with the ocean if proper mechanisms are set or it just ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and killing everything there.

There’s storage inland, but that also has its own problems.

Nuclear waste in the ocean follows a similar idea (although larger in scope). You can’t just dump it and be done. You have to create a plan to slowly release it (over decades) to (hopefully) not adversely affect life

Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.

Kid me was pretty stupid. My mom, sister, and I went on a trip to Hawaii with my mom’s coworker. At that time, I was really bad at swimming. One of the beach trips we went to snorkel. I was left unsupervised for a while and ended up following a sea turtle way too far out. I ended up getting water in the breathing tube, and I panicked. I think I was flailing around for about two minutes going up and down the surface of the water until my mom’s coworker noticed and dragged me back to shore. Was pretty sure I would’ve just drowned if no one noticed.

Chinatown is a more unique environment. Lots of foot traffic, sidewalk vendors, and really tight knit community. Its not a scaleable solution though. Hard to make that kinda of super dense area everywhere

I wonder if they’re including those that are living in internet cafes and such. I remember that being a pretty prevalent problem a bit back. Wikipedia says they counted it on 2007, but no notes of whether they continue to include them or not as homeless.

Not discounting their achievement though, they have their shit together, at least way more than the US

One example are most telltale games which still are still playable but not purchaseable (poker night at the inventory being the most recognizable for me since the associated tf2 items are also now that much harder to obtain)

I’m ancient apparently. Referring to chat always comes to my head as livestreaming on twitch.

So you’re telling me if you had a food allergy and you go on vacation, you would still go buy groceries and make your own meals?

Yes, there’s technically a risk for food allergies whenever you go to a restaurant, but never eating out means you miss out on a lot of life events. The doctor took precautions. They did exactly what they were supposed to. Any restaurant with a sense of food safety knows how important it is to not fuck it up, and clearly Disney skipped out on the food safety training.

Interesting that your double click fixed itself. Maybe it was just a bad case of lint or some dust inside your mouse?

I think all the double clicks i had to fix involved resoldering

Cooking is not so much of a generational thing and more of a time/convenience thing. Some people just don’t have time to cook. They could be working double jobs, working late hours, etc. And some people just don’t want to cook or like the convenience of take out food. Nothing wrong with that

I remember when figma was about to be bought out by adobe, thankfully the deal got terminated for anti monopology reasons

Ehh I wouldn’t say so. There’s still plenty of good content around, especially if you’re trying to learn. The issue is that there’s also a lot of bad content, a lot from garbage ai generated nonsense and a lot from low quality content that plays the seo manipulation game.

Cool but I wouldnt exactly trust a random qr code
