Graydon@iinavpov @smh2 @cstross @gjm The disease consequences of the Columbian interchange were horrifically bad, yeah.
The point I'm after is not "selection events suck rocks" (especially when you're trying to live through one), but "we know about disease transmission now and can choose not to do it" (and I'm pretty sure we will be, if we're still here). Cities are an environment, agriculture is an environment, civil aviation is an environment. People shape their environment.

Recently learned of a new electrolyzer company: CPH2.
Their "membrane-less" electrolyzers only separate hydrogen & oxygen at the system level (using cryogenics).
How can this be safe? Any spark in the dryer (just before the gas is cooled) and the whole things go up in flames like the Hindenburg.
