I'm under 37 and also scratching my (European) head. Is this one of those insane US things?

Anyway, thanks for digging this up!

Is this from USB to gardenhose?! So I can finally connect my old thinkpad to the projector?!

Not sure if I would have wanted to "explore the known world". Seems like there was a lot of dying and killing involved.

I know right. This is so me.

Ok, but then the title should change. We need to be strict here.

They will be ready when there are no indigenous people left.

Yes, to the left of the first panel to be precise.

Because the people settle there. The land was "empty", like it was "empty" for the settlers in the Americas. See first synonym below.

settler: noun a person who moves with a group of others to live in a new country or area. "the early European settlers in America were often fleeing from religious persecution"

synonyms: colonist, colonizer, frontiersman, frontierswoman, pioneer, immigrant, newcomer, incomer, homesteader, habitant, redemptioner, squatter

This is terrible.

Don't use Brave.

She is the best.

What does this mean? Diversity groups?

30-40000 sounds like a safe bet

True

They are the path of least resistant yes. But that path often leads to collective losses, or if the stakes are high, like in climate change, to collective destruction. We get stuck in the Nash equilibrium of a prisoners dilemma.

Ok yes, the EROI is going down.

But the point is that it doesn't matter if there is oil shortage or not. Even if there would be oil shortage, it is not (and should not be) the main reason why we're moving away from oil.

The problem is not oil shortage, because there is no oil shortage. The shale boom gave the US plenty of oil and gas to pump up. And there is plenty of coal too. Enough to last us for at least several decades. The problem is that, in doing so, we would destroy our climate.
