    It’s not just the uptake, it’s whether it stays at the surface, ultimately releasing the carbon back into the atmosphere via decomposition gases, or sinks to the ocean floor, thus locking up the carbon in oceanic rock.

    We have a good handle on understanding the uptake. It’s the float vs sink part that has the critical uncertainty.

    To work as a carbon capture mechanic, iron fertilization-driven algae blooms would have to die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, thus locking up their carbon in oceanic rock.

    The concern is they would die and float, releasing all that carbon back into the atmosphere via decomposition gases. Then we would have all the effort of the fertilization, all the ecosystem disruption of the algae bloom, and maybe negative benefit as far as carbon since the ecosystem disruption could mess up carbon sinks that were actually working.







  • That she was four when she became Elon’s stepsister is the worst part for me. If she had been an adult, even a young adult, when she and Errol met after he married her mother, it would have been sketchy (breaking the divide by two plus fourteen rule) but not in pedo territory. To have multiple children (Elon’s half-siblings and also his step-nieces) with someone you raised as your own child since they were four… it’s beyond.




  • It’s important for vote counts to to be independently checked. Having who voted publicly available means an investigative journalist can prove the county clerk’s claim that dead people voted and so they can’t certify the election is false. Or catch attempts at fraud. Both as a double-check on government in the case of officials who are lying or have acquired false beliefs, or as outside help if the issue isn’t caught internally due to under-resoucing.

    The usual interpretation is the director was trying to move the plot along with things happening during the sex scenes, but the penis was so attention-grabbing that the audience missed the plot points, which made them struggle to follow the rest of the movie (be confused).

    It’s such a creepy biological characteristic. Bedbugs are mildly social, and prefer to sleep near other bedbugs. But the traumatic insemination seems to be unpleasant for the females, and after enough holes are poked all over their bodies, they will leave the main colony. A single inseminated female hitchhiker is normally how they infest new places.
