From hanging around #HPC forums, I knew that this corner of computing had a long history with the fossil fuel industry, but I really hadn't fully grok'd how easily these two sectors would develop a mutually reinforcing symbiosis. #ResourceExtraction (broadly define) forever!

So in summation "whoops" is an acceptable explanation for killing off a species or two or more.

This is Seuss' The Lorax in real life.

Mental Health Damaged After Oil Mixed With Water

[Original post on pixelfed.social]
Title: Mental Health Damaged After Oil Mixed With Water Description: Photograph of several fishing boats tied up in a harbor. One boat is named the "Mad Hatter", another the "Bipolar." A fisherman is sitting on the bow of the latter. Photographer: Marshall Mayer aka @authentic.photo Date and Time: September 6, 2010 at 6:30 pm Location: North Harbor Drive, Valdez, AK USA License: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Caption: The damage done by the Exxon Valdez disaster—still the largest oil spill in a pristine area—has never been adequately addressed. Exxon and the oil industry owns Alaska—every resident gets a pitiful annual dividend from oil royalties paid to the state by extractors. Everyone is addicted, a mental health issue, to that check.

Australia doesn't have nukes and is not in NATO.
In the new world order, I fail to see significant obstacles to China invading Australia to take its natural resources valued at $20 trillion, a bargain even if the invasion costs China $2 trillion.
Australia's population is only 26 million.
