The overall effect on the world economy is probably 20-100X greater

To kinda Fermi estimate what I mean, many experts put the equivalent energy usage of a citizen in a western developed nation at around 8000 human slaves worth of energy input. We just lost 20% of our molecular slaves to put it bluntly...

The only kind of sense an idea needs to make is financial sense...

The number 1 complaint at an airport in the US was long wait times for baggage, often 15 minutes or more of standing around waiting.

So they moved flights further away from the baggage carousel. Roughly 15-20 minutes of walking away.

The complaints magically disappeared....

This feels like the same thing to me. Plus the traffic flying by without room for you is more often than not you in the future. At some point you benefit from that, although I certainly empathize with your frustration.

The answer is probably boring and dystopian like SEO for engagement ragebait. It's hoping you have the same opinion you're searching and will devolve into arguing with others needlessly over which Linux distros suck (all of them except yours) why yours is the best (it isn't) and why others need to switch (they don't unless they still use Windows)

Afaik people don't trust the in house desktop environment they're still developing. It's not mature yet, but pop uses a stable release model. That's the biggest thing besides snaps? I can't remember if they use snaps but everyone hates on snaps a lot.

Clicksprings antikythra mechanism series is a fantastic deep dive into ancient Hellenic engineering, tool making, and manufacturing. He covers period accurate methods and tools, and constructs the entire thing using the same tools and techniques the original designer would have used.

For reference, he's an Australian clockmaker, so the antikythra mechanism is kind of a masterpiece he's been working on for a long time. His custom made grandfather clock was another good one to watch if you need more.

Thanks ☺️! I'm glad you like it! It blew my mind when I first learned it.

It probably is for all of us. I can understand the first order effects of a 20% shortage for the world, and missing β…“ of it's fertillizer. The nth order effects I have no idea.

I've been buying more canned food, multiple bags of rice and different beans. Where I live 99% of our grid comes from hydro power so I'm not worried about blackouts. I'm buying stuff I normally eat anyways (sprats and sardines. Tuna/salmon snacks. Canned soups) and stockpiling since prices keep going up...

I keep hearing end of July, early August, but the very latest by September will be when the full shock hits in its entirety.

FYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.

Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA'd revanced (which might get both projects killed... Not wise IMO but they did it...)

Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can't stand him and just go to morphe.

 

Apologies if this has been asked to death already and i haven't seen it. I'm also not trying to be too much of a downer but it's kind of unprecedented.

I'm wondering what you think it'll do to you personally? I think we're just getting started and haven't experienced the full shock yet. Inventories are still being burned down and even if the strait opened tomorrow no oil would flow for 8 months since you need to demine it and line up passages of tankers.

My biggest worry is over fertillizer. The strait closed right at planting season for the northern hemisphere stranding like β…“ of the world's ammonium nitrate. Farmers in rich nations buy it in advance and have it staged for spring, so I'm unsure how the rest of the world does it or how bad that's going to be...

Or be an organ donor. Either works
