Still… there’s a dystopian sci-fi story in there somewhere… :thinking: :slightly_smiling_face:

You can preserve any oysters that are not purchased to be eaten fresh and raw.

Asians and New Englanders and others have been preserving oysters for centuries.

That mega-tsunami speculation was debunked, right?

Just in case, I’m hoping for later… :crossed_fingers:t4:

Am I the only one who fears the phones might self-destruct once the app reveals their role in this? :thinking: :grimacing:

Just, uh, how different are we talking here?

Well we add about 3 to 4 Gigatons of Carbon per year. So 1/10,000 of that release but if we keep it up for 10,000 years we would be in the ballpark and they were talking over 15000 years…

Read that carefully and let it sink in. We are currently emitting CO2 at a rate that exceeds the greatest extenction event in the history of the Earth, The Great Dying. What it took the Siberian traps 15k years to accomplish, we could exceed in 10k. :exploding_head:

A volcano erupted on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma

Well south of all of the expensive telescope equipment… at least so far…

I’d be putting a tarp over my stuff at least… :thinking: I’m sure they have better plans.
