Mythusters found fecal particles everywhere even when the lid was down. There's no escape from gross, just finding an acceptable level.

Bah, there's a LOT of devices that could talk to my father's phone over the LAN if they were programmed that way. But, they aren't. They report to a wall-known "cloud" server, and the app on his phone checks that same server for the latest status or to relay command/control.

Nice advantage: can get status / send commands even when he is not on the LAN. Bad disadvantage: when the rural Internet blinks out (like every time it rains) he can't tell the robo-vac which rooms to start cleaning.

It's a sin I had to scroll this far down to find the Silicon Valley reference.

We'd know our impact, but we might still keep unsustainably stealing angular momentum, for a variety of reasons.

Similar to we know we need to stop extracting fossil fuels, but we do it anyway.

We already monitor the length of a day to figure out when to add leap seconds, if we do start using a significant portion, we'd know. (Of course, we know we are lighting the world on fire by selling LNG and letting people have private jets, and still haven't stopped.)

I remember the video saying that the airline they engaged with for the study and one other airline were already implementing the changes voluntarily.

While I agree that the right leaders and policies continue to be important, even on this very specific issue, I believe we'll see an improvement without another round of voting.

Good news: We should see fewer CONtrails soon; https://nebula.tv/videos/simonclark-how-airlines-can-halve-their-climate-impact (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoOVqQ5sa08 )

Vidiverse search isn't working on the instance I use. You gotta link to "1944 Gaslight" for the underprivileged?

Ah, a fellow GPB enjoyer, spreading the Truth about gas lamping.

I remember this wording from Rick and Morty, but does it also predate that?

I reject the claim that natural is good. Appeal to Nature is a common logical fallacy.
