  • Well if you can see condensed water vapor in open air, it’s most likely nucleating around something. And that something is probably the combustion products from the jet fuel. I don’t know exactly what each of those thousands of molecular structures are, but burning fuels in general can produce a whole host of compounds including Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can be rather carcinogenic. And that pollution most likely settles somewhere on the planet surface eventually.

    As takeda said in another comment, it might not be worse than more local sources like cars or trains or power plants, but it’s very unlikely to just be water, and probably not healthy.

    I’m not saying it’s a deliberate spread of chemicals and it’s certainly not the mind control nonsense that conspiracy lunatics think. No, most combustion products are just waste with no real use. But calling it “just water” or “harmless clouds” can’t be entirely right unless you believe carbon atoms can just disappear.


  • The language thing sounds like real BS, but otherwise I haven’t had any of those issues in Firefox on Linux.

    I’m still rocking an old 1080p plasma TV, but I probably would have noticed if good-looking shows like Severance, Silo, and Foundation were only rendering at 480p.

    It does do this stupid thing where if I hit spacebar to pause, it will resume on it’s own about 4 seconds later. So I have to actually click on the video with the cursor to actually pause. So that’s annoying but nothing like a crash.


  • My city (US) used to have one that was signed all wrong, so cars already inside the circle would have to yield to the ones entering. Naturally this led to congestion instead of flowing traffic. Also it was way too close to a tangential road so that made things even worse because the backed up traffic on that side then affected cars that weren’t even going to the circle.

    Fortunately they ripped that shit out and redesigned the entire intersection.
