You might have cold-induced asthma?

We have arms control and embargoes to prevent Iran from gaining fissile material but we don't give a fuck when nations that have proven themselves capable of regulating their biomedical research safety pursue reckless gain of function research. Makes total sense.

Is there a way to like emit energy in a narrow beam from a bunch of different angles around a central target such that they only overlap in the center/target and the frequencies resonate in that location in such a way to reach a higher frequency past which there is a destructive effect but below which is safe and non-destructive?

/knows nothing about physics

Really confused to see your comment flagged.

The parent comment basically says "copyright is not a physical good or law, therefore we may disregard it".

As if the same couldn't be said for any verbal agreement, sexual consent, property rights, whatever.

They ought to be arguing why this _particular_ verbal agreement/social contract is not worth enforcing or practicing, rather than dismissing the entire category.

Website isn't loading, we are all probably driving up her views way beyond normal. Hope she doesn't have traffic-based pricing.

why series-type? (from a bit of research, seems these are also called EREV (extended-range electric vehicles, in the context of autos)

simpler engine since you can have an electric engine only and not have an ICE engine with more points of failure/maintenance?

gasoline has a shelf life of 3 to 6 months. and diesel 12 months in low temps.

might want a battery EV with ability to plug deployable solar module amd/or hydropower module and/or wood burning stove thermoelectric generator.

This is where a hybrid powertrain / PHEV is superior to EV. In an ideal system you want redundancies, especially redundancies that cover for each other's weaknesses.

I'm aware, and I think that climbing it should be banned.

The parent asked why they cared, I'm not making an argument I'm answering the question.

My answer is that it's distasteful to them and their belief system / worldview. I happen to share the same distaste, though not on any religious grounds.

Who cares about Navajo tastes? Presumably other people who agree with them and would support a ban on vanity projects on the moon or who find it distasteful, like myself.

The answer is you're going to a shit university (or at least a shit program at your university, maybe they are great at Journalism or something).

It's a matter of taste and an offense to nature. Would you like it if a cryopreserved embalmed 10 foot tall pile of human feces was permanently enshrined atop Everest or on a buoy at the mouth of the Amazon river? If you felt any revulsion or disgust at the idea, that's probably the way the felt at the idea of the relatively untouched 'nature' of the moon beginning to be used as a novelty landfill/dump for rich people to stow their trash (or important human remains).

What industry?

You need a Plastic Emissions Index for measuring which products are responsible for the broad environmental pollution upstream, with textiles, tires, packing, and other contributors ranked extremely poorly / highly.

And you need a Plastic Ingestion Index for ranking foods and consumables that are more directly ingested as well.
