Hoists are used to dredge up nutrient rich sediment from the ocean floor, and mix them with surface water within the ring.
Grow some weedy oligotrophoc plant or algae on the surface, and collect it.
It’s then sunk down to the cold seafloor where it won’t decompose, so the carbon is captured.
You can grow the ring by using solar stills to create fresh water from salt, and since it has a higher freezing temp, just dump it on the ring after sailing to colder waters. You move around slowly via planned currents and big ol sails.
You could cheaply build many of these and they could be mostly autonomous.
Yeah I really can’t believe the extent of the exploitation.
I started working from home in 2021 and holy shit, I used to work like 5-8 hours a day, and now I only work 1-2 hours and only 3-4 days a week. And I’m one of the top employees, my evaluations are always exceeds expectations, etc. My commit history is legendary status; I honestly don’t know what other people are even doing if they’re actually working all day. Definitely not atomic commits I’ll tell ya that.
So given how little time I spend working now, it means the amount of my life that was being fucking STOLEN from me before I was working from home was INSANE.
And they are STILL taking the value of my labor from me, which just means the degree of exploitation of most people is just ridiculous.
Let’s say I’m a carpenter, and occasionally I open up a cad program and draw up a wrench or lathe chuck and have it cut out of sheet steel. Yes, I did some engineering but I’m not really an engineer.
Likewise let’s say I’m an artist. Maybe I write code now and then to program my automatic paint mixer or whatever.
Isn’t that true with people too? If I read a bunch of books and then use what I learned to write a new book, I’m not crediting the original authors. If I learn painting techniques from Van Gogh and el Greco, I’m not crediting them either.
I despise subscriptions for most things. Movies, tv, audio. The technology to play them doesn’t really change: you could listen to modern audio with 1970s technology, your cel phone, and a 25 cent cable. Similar with movies. So I pirate all that stuff.
But video games? The hardware really is prohibitive for big titles. I want to play starfield because I loved oblivion and morrowind, but the hardware is so expensive. My pc could play it but nvidia linux drivers are a mess.
Anyways, my point is that streaming actually makes sense for games. Plus I could play for a month, finish the game, and subscribe and play the next big title when it comes out.
If I can stream games onto my computer or old Xbone (no reason why not) with low latency for like $15/mo, hell yeah I’ll do it.
Because 90%+ of my contacts use sms (USA) and keeping touch across multiple apps is a huge pain. Like remembering which contact uses which service is stupid.
I’d add a personal assistant that lives up to the promise. It can make reservations for you, find out when your friends are available, navigate phone trees, etc.
Bought a car with a clean NY title a few years ago, drove it for 4 years. Wonderful car. Sold it because I was moving overseas, buyer did a vin check, and it was salvage but washed. Wound up selling for the same amount anyways, found a buyer who didn’t care.
So desperate for profitability
Lesson: loss leader web platform shit is only good when it’s losing money. And when interest rates are going up, they can’t afford to lose money.
