As someone who worked at a park district, this is 100% true and such a big problem. Those fuckers grow to be like 18 inches long and have thousands of babies.

Someone dumped a couple they got at a fair into one of our ponds and within a few years they were nearly the only life left in the entire pond. They eat anything and everything in their path and decimate local ecosystems. They’re the freahwater equivalent of locusts.

We ended up electrifying the entire pond, scooping them all up, and rebuilding the whole natural ecosystem back up from scratch. You can’t do that with a lake tho

Musk already suggested it a few months ago

I wonder how he got it…

I don’t think blocking out the sun is the answer to global warming lol

Having lived through 3 partial/total solar eclipses, even a small shift in the amount of light really fucks with the rhythm of the entire environment. Birds stopped chirping entirely at noon last time. We’d just be replacing one form of global disaster with another.

Not to mention we’d end up fully saturating the available orbital space around earth, causing constant satellite crashes and the complete inability to launch rockets through the mesh and debris. At a certain point the satellites would cease to function entirely through all the trash orbiting earth and at that point we’d have essentially walled ourselves off from ever safely exploring space. It’s a terrible idea all around

Fascinating

• Music production software, esp. Ableton.

For what it’s worth, REAPER works great on Linux. Ik it doesn’t fill quite the same niche as Ableton but it is very capable, especially paired with yabridge for using VSTs via WINE.

Second, as you can probably guess by looking at the above picture, pumping the water up 40 meters with water pressure and then back down doesn’t accomplish anything—you can just hook the faucet up to your device, and let the water pressure drive the generator directly.

Mint and/or Arch and/or anything other than Ubuntu, depending on who you ask

If you prefer white rice to brown but actually want some nutrients I highly recommend trying out basmati rice - it’s relatively easy and inexpensive to get in bulk and I almost never eat any other type of rice anymore
