- Comment on Zelensky warns Iran war 'emboldening' Russia after Ukraine meets Trump officials 3 weeks ago:
Might as well be France, during the Blitz, exporting tanks to Franco’s Spain. It doesn’t help you if you’re businesses are going to be someone else’s property in another few months.
No it might as well not, do not fear monger, the frontlines of Ukraine are not in danger of collapsing.
The more foreign powers work with Ukraine on drone defense the more all of Ukraine benefits. Drone production is one of the easiest weapons of war to scale up production of, we aren’t talking about helicopters, tanks or jets here.

- Comment on Zelensky warns Iran war 'emboldening' Russia after Ukraine meets Trump officials 3 weeks ago:
The bottleneck is not drones, the bottleneck is expertise.
Foreign investment/buy orders increase the production capacity of Ukrainian businesses which compensates for any drones diverted by increasing overall production, so no it isn’t diverting from the frontlines really.

Lol “Economic Slump” my ass, the russian frontlines are already a human rights disaster, even if they ended the war now collapse is coming for russia. They are just desperately postponing the inevitable to try to bully Ukraine into agreeing to a peace deal that screws them over.
Time is running out for russia.

Note, you are not a coward if you don’t want to charge the Ukrainian frontlines because you are terrified, you are just being rational. You are fucked.
What makes them cowards is not standing up to their society that has normalized perpetrating this war. They are going to die pointlessly anyways, why not stand up and die for a reason?

- Comment on Alien Life Could Look Nothing Like What We Expect. Here's How Microbes Beyond Earth Might Live Without Liquid Water 3 weeks ago:
Yes that is precisely what it measure, but Chemistry teachers confidently taught me the pH scale over and over again like an an arbitrary continuum to memorize until I finally had it framed in a perspective that illuminated the central role of water.
Yes technically if you just learn the pH scale you should be able to conclude that I guess but sorry not sorry most chemistry I have dealt with is completely ignorant of the power of teaching people big ideas. Everything is fiddly, disconnected and full of little memorization rules that feel utterly arbitrary in chemistry.
If my geology professors had taught chemistry they would have started with big ideas like that, but chemists taught me chemistry.

- Comment on Alien Life Could Look Nothing Like What We Expect. Here's How Microbes Beyond Earth Might Live Without Liquid Water 3 weeks ago:
The way I see it is like how molds on a petri dish and human cities tend to grow in similar shapes. There are natural patterns and molecules that are useful for certain types of things, I would suspect alien life to stumble upon many of the same useful chemical and physical mechanisms life on Earth has but the story of how it happened would likely be confoundingly different in surprising ways we wouldn’t expect. It isn’t life “happening the same way” for alien life to evolve based on water and carbon blueprints, it is more like when you put a growing organism on a flat plane, there are natural rhythms and patterns that echo throughout our universe that optimizing systems will find and build upon.
I mean if you step back and think about it, if some of the basic chemical processes that life on Earth does were possible on an Alien planet with Alien life that was unable to exploit that advantage… wouldn’t that be in a way of sort of strange refutation of evolutionary theory? Why would an obvious chemical pathway be left unexploited by life in competition with itself?
Of course complexity is always a barrier, evolution isn’t perfect or instant, it doesn’t necessarily explore every possible solution before settling on one that is good enough in a context, but it begs the question, if the processes on Earth that are optimal for life to Exploit are found on other planets, why would either life on Earth or Alien Life be substantially suboptimal in its solutions compared to the other? Wouldn’t that suggest some magic difference in Evolutionary capacity of Life in one place vs another in a way that crumbles away upon rational inspection?
To put it bluntly, if we have no proof the laws of physics differ elsewhere in the observable universe, why should we expect Evolution to behave differently? No matter if the characters names are different and the stories happen according to their own unique paths, we are still playing along the same weaving patterns.
If you had a sea full of Si02 and CaCO2 well animals that need homes are gonna eventually stumble on that as a building material right?
