Just the opposite.

I left reddit because they don't censor nazis hard enough and will actually ban people for reporting hate speech, calling it an "abuse of the reporting system".

and a lot of other parts where its just people talking at legnth - its only interesting the first time, but its almost half the game and really detracts from replayability

Storing carbon as sodium formate has the same problem as storing it as trees - bacteria will eat it and release CO2. Its also not useful as portable fuel - its energy density is an order of magnitude less than kerosene.

Its potential use as a battery is interesting though. I can imagine a system where a long lasting catalyst is used to fill a tank of sodium formate using waste CO2 from industrial processes and excess electrical generation capacity from renewable sources like wind and solar, and the machines that use sodium formate to generate electricity at times of low wind and solar generation could potentially be less polluting overall compared to mining lithium for new batteries and recycling worn out lithium batteries.

a black hole

assuming a thing into existence isn't a satisfying answer

where did your black hole come from? another black hole?

might as well just claim its turtles all the way down

And the presence of a large carnivore at the end implies the food chain is healthy all the way down.

I hope that includes what other sites would call "strictly necessary". No thanks, if your site won't work without, then I don't need to visit.

That's not just an idea - its physical reality. You can't get your physical needs met in old age if you didn't win the lotto. Suicide is the retirement plan for most of us non-boomers.

USA and Morocco signed a treaty 1786 which remains the longest unbroken relationship in U.S. history, in 2004 Morocco was declared a "Major Non-NATO Ally", and Morocco's military and law enforcement train and work together with their U.S. counterparts.

There were two hybrid minivans on the market a couple years ago when I went shopping for one. One plug-in from Chrysler and a non-plug-in from Toyota. Both cost about as much as a Model 3.

Or maybe an accessibility improvement. You don't need to practice creating your own works of art over many years anymore, or have enough money to commission a master artist. The AI artists are good enough and work for cheap.

Yeah, for traveling to underdeveloped parts of the world, hybrid is the way to go.
