Just another example of studios checking as many diversity boxes as possible as a substitute for good acting. I applaud diverse casts, especially since that’s always been a big part of Star Trek, but when that’s the only strong quality of your casting you’ve made a mistake somewhere. ST:D went so far as to invent new oppressed minorities (prey species) just so they could include one of them and highlight the crew’s Diversity^TM

Isn’t Mexico pretty famous for their Coke in glass bottles made with real sugar instead of corn syrup?

Oh so you have seen it and fully understand it then. Got it. Thanks for your contribution.

Alfalfa Meal and Coffee Grounds - can only be used in moderation due to their high nitrogen content which would fuck up waterways way more than salt.

Beet Juice - not nearly as effective as salt

Grape Skin - still in testing, no where near close to market, unknown ecological impacts

Brine - has the same problem as salt because that’s essentially what it is

Manual removal - are you fucking kidding me?

Salt is the best we have, and the alternatives aren’t just less economical, they’re also just plain unfeasible.

I can kinda get it not being “murderous”. When civilians are killed while in the middle of a war, it’s not considered murder, it’s considered a war crime. It’s a technicality, but that’s how words work.

But I’m not sure how you can say it isn’t brutal. Of course it’s brutal.

That man is eating that book like a Roman emperor eats grapes.

If English is your first language, maybe it’s the way you type? Your messages are filled with meaningless info, zero to no punctuation, and bad grammar. It looks like the sort of way a crazy person would type.

If English isn’t your first language then it’s more understandable, but thinking someone’s the one after only 3 meetups is jumping the gun a bit, don’t you think?

Here’s what you can do in the next 5 minutes to stop your Stage 3 Lung Cancer!

That’s pretty much the same thing this headline is saying. We are deep in it now, maybe not the absolute worst case it could be, but definitely not good. And 12 months is not nearly enough time to deal with the problem, so much so that it’s laughable to even suggest it could be. The only solution will be long, hard, expensive, and require a LOT of pain and sacrifice. Plus, there’s no guarantees it will even work. It may just be too late at this point.

“Even though the artificially saturated color was known at the time amongst planetary scientists — and the images were released with captions explaining it  —  that distinction had become lost over time.”

Things like this are why I have a bit of a bone to pick with astrophotography. Those breathtaking images of nebula or gas clouds? Manipulated to the point they might as well be fake.

“This is what the nebula would look like if we could see IR and if we made all the different elements like Hydrogen and Nitrogen glow in different neon colors to distinguish them”

Cool, so not actually at all what the nebula looks like. Got it.

The rules that weren’t listed anywhere? The rules that even experts who were consulted were unaware of? The rules that there wasn’t even a place on the form to be able to follow?

You mean those rules?
