  • The tops of the clouds on the night side of Venus are about -45°C. So it’s not actually glowing like the image implies. But in infrared, you can reprocess the colours to make a delightful image like the above.

    Well, I know you’re implying the greenhouse gases will kill us all. And that might be true, but probably not in ten years.



  • Canadian observer. Two things, and I think they’re related effects.

    Harris is a minority and a woman. The Democrats were convinced they were the party that minorities would automatically vote for. But what they failed to realize was that those same minorities are misogynistic as hell. Like, have you ever been to a Baptist wedding? If you ask them what the role of a woman is…

    The US is also the only first world country where the birthrate is above replacement. But if you look at who are having children, you’ll find that it skews conservative. And they’re passing those values along.

    If there are only two competitors for a product, then it is either a niche product or there is room for more competition, usually, who can use disruptive marketing.

    The problem is, for very large markets, companies will abuse their position to prevent competition from forming. Coke and Pepsi should not be allowed to simply buy every new drink that comes to market.

    Anyway, I digress. The government doesn’t have the balls to bust monopolies anymore.
