This #hantavirus story worries me.
We live in a much worse world than in 2020, and this virus seems much worse than Covid.
Let’s hope for the best.
@stefano It’s been around for a log time, and it’s been nowhere near as contagious as Covid. I suspect containment would not be difficult, *if they actually employed infection control measures instead of deliberately putting infected people on airline flights without even a respirator.* 🤡🤦🏻♂️

Buenas noches
Lots of people around me are doing heroin these days. To truly evaluate whether heroin is the right choice for me, I decided I needed to also start doing heroin. And after months of heroin use, I too am unable to stop doing heroin. Sure it comes with trade offs but it’s a truly useful and powerful tool

We are soundbathing in an old neviera, a huge container that up to the 1800s was filled with snow and ice and then sealed to preserve food (and corpses too, since the building next to it was a hospital).

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere just hit a ‘depressing’ new record
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-dioxide-levels-in-the-atmosphere-just-hit-a-depressing-record-high/
Solar energy is reaching record highs.
Wind energy is reaching record highs
Coal energy is reaching record highs
Oil and gas energy are reaching record highs.
The problem is growth. We live in the final stages of a Growth Death Cult.
We are in the worst of all worlds: More wood
More coal
More oil
More gas
More hydro
More nuclear
More wind
More solar
It's an energy CONSUMPTION crisis.
