Those damn mining companies must be forced to clean up their toxic messes.
““The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned,” announced Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat, the wonderkid inventor who’s spent a decade inventing systems for waterborne litter collection.
Recent tests on his Ocean Cleanup rig called System 002, invented to tackle the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic pollution, were a success, leading Slat to predict that most of the oceanic garbage patches could be removed by 2040.
Intersections of ocean currents have created the massive floating islands of plastic trash—five slow-moving whirlpools that pull litter from thousands of miles away into a single radius.
The largest one sits between California and Hawaii, and 27-year-old Slat has been designing and testing his systems out there, launching from San Francisco since 2013.
GNN has reported on his original design for the floating device, but his engineering team improved upon it. System 002, nicknamed “Jenny,” successfully netted 9,000 kilograms, or around 20,000 pounds in its first trial.
It’s carbon-neutral, able to capture microplastics as small as 1 millimeter in diameter, and was designed to pose absolutely no threat to wildlife thanks to its wide capture area, slow motion, alerts, and camera monitors that allow operators to spy any overly-curious marine life…
Slat estimates ten Jennies could clean half the garbage patch in five years, and if 10 Jennies were deployed to the five major ocean gyres, then 90% of all floating plastic could be removed by 2040.” -via Good News Network, 10/19/21
Any update since last year?
Thank you!
There’s this feeling I sometimes get watching humans do the cool things that humans have been doing for thousands of years. It makes my chest expand and my heart thud and I love it. I love this.
The fucking legendary WAIT to fake bomb them to show them you knew the whole time.
Legend.
i love that there was definitely an intelligence briefing where someone in charge heard that there was a fake airfield in progress and went, "...hey you know what would be funny?" and then everyone else agreed it was indeed SO funny that they would devote man-hours and a sizable log to making a fake bomb to drop on it while being only somewhat busy fighting a war, but never too busy for a funny craft project
keeping their women pregnant and stupid is the wish of every taliban man
Only stupid women vote for republicans! No halfway intelligent girl lets other men decide for her body! Stupid! Stupid!
Can't get an erection without Viagra...and with his mini mushroom he wants to penetrate underage, disgusting! And something like that should be president again????!!! Hell no!

Go get his dirty ass!
And by shit we mean your followers and the rest of the Nazis and racists!
Collect them all, a steal at $99 or 3 monthly payments of $33. Limited to 45,000 portraits, hurry, before time runs out. Tech deets - first of all I hope IG doesn’t flag this as an advertisement but you know it’s going to. Secondly - this series is NOT Midjourney, it’s Stable Diffusion. MJ has banned the terms “Cronenberg” and “Flesh Monster” and trust me, it’s impossible to capture the true spirit of this individual without relying on those prompts. If you scrub back through my timeline/feed, you should be able to pick out which images are made with which engine. Thirdly - I’m a Wacky Packages, Mad Magazine, gross-out humor baby so this kind of stuff runs in my blood.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
