What are the odds of another dust bowl happening in our lifetime? Or is it unlikely to happen again due to better agriculture practices?
>>

>unlikely to happen again due to better agriculture practices
That one.
>>
>>16956959
The dust bowl was mostly a one time event. Once the topsoil was lost there's no way to get it back within any human timescale. Soil regenerates incredibly slowly over millions of years thanks to prairie grasses slowly building it up. I.e. another dustbowl can't happen because it physically can't, regardless of land use.

"The United States Semiquincentennial, also called the Bisesquicentennial, the Sestercentennial, or the Quarter Millennium, will be the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence.

"Artemis II (April 1–11, 2026) was a crewed lunar flyby mission. It was the first crewed flight of the NASA-led Artemis program and the first crewed flight beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972."

Math is the only thing that is real.

Reality is just one giant 3D slide show that for whatever reason exhibit consistent geometric patterns from one slide to the next. Identifying and describing said reproducible geometric patterns in mathematical equations is what science does, and the only thing that is real. All these other page upon pages of..words, aka "theories", are literal monkey talks. So long as the equation checks out you can grab any schizo theories off /x/ this very moment and it will stick.

By making prediction about things that occurred light years away.

Time to get over it chuddies.. science isn't about finding truth. People built whole careers and lives around certain dogma.

The scientific inquiry, accepting of all ideals, open to debate, anti politics is just a marketing gimmick you chuds fall for and whine about when your contrarian views are laughed at, mocked and ridiculed.

Too bad you don't have the social skills to understand human nature and consensus and cooperation.

Your isolation makes you undesirable. Sorry about your luck

My ten year old DSLR still looks better than my cellphone even though cellphone has multiple sensors and 4k HDR video. Its all about the optics more than the sensor. Theres got to be some diminishing returns with those sensors. Just go to flickr and look at large 00s photos. They absolutely look clearer than whats from todays phones. I believe 48 megapixel existed twenty years ago? Sony….Sony injects AI processing into the hardware level, so there is no way to know if you are getting a real image. So youd want stuff that is pre-AI

Lol yeah shittons normies don't understand anything and just use popular marketing buzzwords. It's how YouTube and streaming services can get away with lowering bitrates because they don't know anything about bitrates, only numbers going up in resolutions. 1080p is 2.1 megapixels. I see zoomers all the time being baffled that a consumer digital camera in 2002 would have okay image quality because camera phones is all they know.

Bone of you guys were able to explain it in a way which made sense to me.
Zooming out to the marble game made it click.
And it only suggested 3 marbles, I'm the one who scaled it out, the deduced I held a marble with 1:100 probability of being right.
The LLM was much gmfaster to respond, and much more personal.
Not that I didn't trust you guys,
but I needed to actually understand it for myself, and it just wasn't clicking here/I stopped reading at a point to rope thr LLM into it.
Funny enough, Google put a disclaimer on that chat to be careful about what the LLM says and to grab a parent topkek

But yeah, wow, it makes sense.

I makes perfect sense with the marble game. It still feels uncomfortable with the goat game; I don't don't like it.

I wonder if it's because 33% and 50% aren't far enough apart? But they are - That's a huge difference.
I need to reconcile with myself why the goat example feels uncomfortable but the marble example I'd bet my life on.

to compare two animals as a whole

lets say
1) human
2) rat

you cant put genomes of both onto a computer and make a comparison from first genetic markers to the last and everything in between, to check if human and rat are 50% the same, or 80% or whatever

its not possible because human genome is like 4 gigabytes and rat is similar size

these are too big for computer software!
of course it might be fault of programmers, who knows

what is possible to do, is to compare mitocholdria of a human and a rat and those would reveal to be 99% identical to no surprise

both human and rat evolved from primitive rodents 80 million years ago, altough a human had several ape stages in between:
1) flying monkey (lives on trees)
2) macaque (lives on ground)
3) something that resembles chimpanzee a lot more, has lost its tail
4) finally human at some point

That's crap. Spoof the replace function for a file and just do an audit of what files are replaced, but have each file be a specifically coded label, and you can reference the two feasibly. If the genomes have been mapped already, you can feasibly find the difference. Outliers would be "junk dna" that may be more ambiguous in its expression, being dormant.

Then science can't give you an answer. I'm skeptical of social sciences in general too. Social phenomena have too many cultural, demographic, economic, etc factors to easily be isolated or replicated, so even if you do have high-quality data the best you can usually do is a post hoc explanation that's colored by your biases. The fact that there is an "answer" doesn't mean it's knowable

Until the West finally recovers from all the scams and abuse the Church committed, God will always be a dirty subject in the wider public sphere.

Until then, it's a steep race to the bottom because without God as a point of reference for truth, everything becomes fluid.
