Just stick a straw in it like a capri-sun.
Shh! Not so loud. You’ll spook the neighbours.
They’re Made Out of Meat - TERRY BISSON of the UNIVERSE
Copyright, Terry Bisson, 1991 Originally published in OMNI, 1991, and featured in HARPER’S and around the internet since. It has even made its way into several books on consciousness and brain science. I’m surprised, pleased, and proud. But please do not reprint, perform, alter or adapt in any way without first checking with the author. Thanks.
It is a thing. Personality Rights. They exist in Danish law already. Maybe this new proposal is something else, something more specific or closes some loophole.
Oh, stewardess! I speak Klingon.

It’s insane.
The thermodynamic minimum amount of energy needed to extract CO2 at 450 ppm is 120 kWh per tonne. Current experimental carbon capture plants run at about 5 % efficiency. If we assume we can double their efficiency and can magically produce as many plants as we need, to remove 20 Gt of CO2 per year (half our emissions) we would need 24,000 TWh of energy per year.
That is the entirety of the world’s electricity production. To remove half our emissions.
Carbon capture is a non-runner.
My entire life has vim key bindings. My window manager and browser all have vim key bindings. I work in vim. I write my shopping lists in vim.
I really can’t overstate how ingrained vim is in my day to day life. Bram had a big impact.
