| 12:25.22 | Wormy_ | http://imgur.com/gallery/oynGX |
| 12:27.39 | Hachiman | Definitely worst parents |
| 12:27.50 | Hachiman | Those people are conditioning that bear to approach humans in the expectation of food |
| 12:28.12 | Hachiman | Which puts other people and that bear, alongside other bears, at risk |
| 12:28.41 | OluapPlayer | beary bad |
| 12:28.41 | Wormy_ | Thats true, pretty obnoxious of them |
| 12:28.52 | Liquid_Ink | Of course, bears are deceptively adorable |
| 12:31.43 | Hachiman | Not when they are tearing you apart |
| 12:32.54 | Liquid_Ink | Well, they're not being deceptive then. |
| 12:33.17 | Hachiman | If any of you know about Timothy "Grizzly Man" Treadwell, then you will know why it is a fucking horrendous idea to feed and approach bears |
| 12:33.45 | Liquid_Ink | I am aware that it's a fucking horrendous idea to feed and approach bears |
| 12:34.05 | Liquid_Ink | But they're also deceptively adorable |
| 12:34.28 | Wormy_ | I know of his grizzly death yeah |
| 12:35.36 | Wormy_ | I'm glad bears and wolves are extinct in the UK, its nice to go walking in the countrysie without fear of being eaten. |
| 12:37.48 | Liquid_Ink | The Greeks probably feel the same way with lions |
| 12:39.52 | Monet | I partly blame the ubiquity of the teddy bear |
| 12:43.20 | Liquid_Ink | I don't live near any of Australia's truly ferocious predators. |
| 12:43.26 | Liquid_Ink | By which I mean crocodiles |
| 12:48.12 | Wormy_ | What about Bunyips? |
| 12:49.15 | Liquid_Ink | I've never seen one, but all Australians live in perpetual fear of them. |
| 12:52.12 | Wormy_ | Aboriginal Australians had to live with giant monitor lizards, terror birds and giant carnivorous Marsupials on arrival. |
| 12:52.58 | Wormy_ | Makes one wonder if legends like the Bunyip are cultural memories, especially since they are thought to have the oldest mythology on Earth |
| 13:14.02 | Hachiman | Wormy_: What could people do in the event that a supervolcano, such as Yellowstone, ends up erupting? |
| 13:16.09 | Wormy_ | Hmm. I really don't know, it would surely devastate the North American continent and there would be worldwide effects from darkened skies for years |
| 13:16.44 | Wormy_ | People would probably try to flee in a panic# |
| 13:22.00 | Wormy_ | Although scientists can't predict exactly when a volcano can erupt, it is possible to detect signs of an eruption quite long before it happens |
| 13:22.07 | Hachiman | I heard recently that volcanologists currently possess the means to accurately 'predict' the eruption of volcanoes like Yellowstone about a year in advance |
| 13:22.51 | Hachiman | Which supplies a fair bit of time to evacuate major population centres and control the extent of the damage |
| 13:23.10 | Wormy_ | The grounds shifts for example, and the rate of this can be measured. Its also possible to detect changes in gases flowing through water |
| 13:24.13 | Wormy_ | If it really could be predicted a year beforehand, I imagine there should be a massive effort to move people. And also prepare developing countries in the world somehow for agricultural famine |

| 13:25.22 | NeonPanda | hi all |
| 13:25.24 | Hachiman | Hi |
| 13:25.40 | Hachiman | I do wonder how the food situation will be like when Yellowstone erupts |
| 13:25.59 | Wormy_ | I doubt a supervolcanic eruption would come out of the blue, unnoticed. There would be measurable changes. |
| 13:26.04 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 13:27.08 | Hachiman | I imagine that vegetables and other goods could be grown under artificial light |
| 13:27.29 | Wormy_ | You might hate me for saying this, but this is where I would advocate genetically modified food, crops that can grow in colder conditions (I doubt changes in light conditions can be helped, so indoor food production would be important) |
| 13:27.48 | NeonPanda | that would be called hydroponics, which the drug trade has perfected :P |
| 13:27.57 | Hachiman | Why would I hate you for that? All food is genetically modified nowadays |
| 13:28.11 | Hachiman | And I advocate modifying food even further |
| 13:28.17 | Wormy_ | Indeed, so do I |
| 13:28.43 | Wormy_ | It has great potential to do good, like golden rice |
| 13:28.43 | Hachiman | And yes, I was about to say that drug manufacturers and traders have perfected the means of growing their stock without access to sunlight |
| 13:30.40 | Wormy_ | Builing all this infrastructure + mass movements of people would probably cripple economies. But I imagine civilisation would easily survive, though our present comforts may not. Oh and also flight would be crippled because of ash in the atmosphere for possibly years, so that will slow down aid |
| 13:30.55 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 13:31.02 | Hachiman | Boats should still be alright though |
| 13:31.16 | Wormy_ | We might have to build more canals |
| 13:31.25 | Hachiman | Internet connection across the world might be compromised |
| 13:32.24 | Wormy_ | I think it could survive, thanks to undersea cables, and also some ingenious methods of creating wifi |
| 13:32.45 | Wormy_ | Like using high altitude balloons |
| 13:33.09 | Hachiman | I do believe that claims that Yellowstone could end mankind and modern civilisation as we know it are hugely exaggerated |
| 13:34.07 | Monet | Same. |
| 13:34.24 | Monet | I recall Australia could be relatively untouched. |
| 13:34.34 | Wormy_ | Its a myth based on a resource-centric view of civilisation. But actually there is the role of knowledge as well, to acquire new resources and find new solutions. |
| 13:34.47 | Hachiman | I wonder how Yellowstone would affect the UK |
| 13:35.05 | Hachiman | We already have grey skies most of the time |
| 13:35.24 | Wormy_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age |
| 13:35.57 | Wormy_ | People will be skating on the Thames |
| 13:36.01 | Wormy_ | *would be |
| 13:36.20 | Monet | It would get colder, yeah. |
| 13:37.02 | Imperios | What are we talking about |
| 13:37.13 | Imperios | Ice age? Global warming? |
| 13:37.16 | Wormy_ | A "What if" scenario |
| 13:37.20 | Hachiman | *Climate change |
| 13:37.25 | Wormy_ | Supervolcanic eruption |
| 13:37.34 | Hachiman | Global warming is a very weird way of spelling climate change |
| 13:37.54 | Hachiman | Also, the effects of a Yellowstone eruption on modern civilisation |
| 13:38.09 | Imperios | Do not try to be pretentious Hachiman, it does not fit you :P |
| 13:38.17 | Imperios | Climate change it is then |
| 13:38.37 | Imperios | I fully welcome it BTW |
| 13:38.57 | Monet | I've heard the scientific community has been averse to calling it global warming due to the widespread misconception that it means everywhere will get hotter. |
| 13:38.59 | Imperios | Yellowstone eruption not sure, but I am honestly very curious about wht would happen if Paektusan erupted |
| 13:39.13 | Wormy_ | There would likely be accelerated warming *after* the mini ice age, because the dead and rotting vegetation would release carbon and methane back into the atmosphere |
| 13:39.25 | Imperios | Monet: Makes sense |
| 13:39.41 | Hachiman | Yellowstone erupts, cue "winter is coming" memes |
| 13:40.00 | Wormy_ | Imperios: Greenland welcomes it too |
| 13:40.09 | Imperios | Actually no I don't |
| 13:40.16 | Imperios | Saint-Petersburg will sink |
| 13:40.21 | Imperios | But Siberia tho |
| 13:40.40 | Imperios | As I said, imagine a local but significant eruption |
| 13:41.01 | Wormy_ | Ohgod, those methane clathrates |
| 13:41.19 | Imperios | Like, as I said, Paektusan |
| 13:41.28 | Imperios | That's like half of North Korea |
| 13:41.31 | Imperios | Burnt to ash |
| 13:42.24 | Wormy_ | If the atmosphere on a global scale warms up enough to melt the permafrost in Siberia, it will cause a positive feedback loop and release methane from those gas hydrates into the atmosphere, and then that could warm even more sources of trapped methane under the ocean |
| 13:42.49 | Imperios | And caused significant climate change around i |
| 13:44.10 | Wormy_ | Earth could enter a hothouse climate not seen in 50 million years |
| 13:44.45 | Imperios | Then again that would cause a mass influx of people from hotter regions |
| 13:45.07 | Imperios | Thousands of Brazilians invading the warmed Antarctica |
| 13:46.15 | Imperios | Shit imagine South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Australia fighting over Antarctica |
| 13:46.17 | Imperios | And New Zealand |
| 13:46.27 | Imperios | New land to feed their sheep |
| 13:46.56 | Wormy_ | Regions like Greenland and Siberia will probably become the new place to grow crops in a large scale, though Siberia would have pretty poor soil |
| 13:47.04 | Wormy_ | *on |
| 13:47.17 | Hachiman | Maybe we could finally find the Siberian mammoths |
| 13:47.38 | Wormy_ | Or surviving Neanderthals |
| 13:47.40 | Imperios | They've already been found |
| 13:47.44 | Imperios | They're just you know |
| 13:47.45 | Imperios | Frozen |
| 13:47.48 | Imperios | And dead |
| 13:47.59 | Hachiman | Just the unfortunate ones |
| 13:48.56 | Imperios | BTW how goes the mammoth cloning? |
| 13:49.03 | Imperios | Heard about it since I was a kid |
| 13:49.03 | Hachiman | Pretty good from what I know |
| 13:49.12 | Imperios | Oooh |
| 13:49.17 | Imperios | Pretty good as in? |
| 13:50.03 | Hachiman | Still no mammoths yet but I think we have near enough all the necessary components to develop a mammoth embryo, with some elephant genes to fill in some missing blanks |

| 13:50.47 | Imperios | Oh hi Char |
| 13:50.59 | Charles_Bot | Hey Imp |
| 13:51.04 | Hachiman | It will not be a "true" mammoth in that regard but it will be more mammoth than it will elephant |
| 13:51.31 | Hachiman | Then again, elephants do hold dormant mammoth genes which could be engineered to reawaken |
| 13:51.42 | Imperios | Plant them in Siberaq |
| 13:51.53 | NeonPanda | and tbh the likelihood is that the genes will be close enough that the difference is semantics |
| 13:52.00 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 13:52.26 | Imperios | Then again if *cough* CLIMATE CHANGE is going to be so bad that Siberia melts, there won't be a place for mammoths in the new world |
| 13:52.42 | Hachiman | Mammoths prefer warmer places you know |
| 13:52.48 | Hachiman | Well, not warmer |
| 13:53.01 | Hachiman | Just not places that are guaranteed to compromise their food situation |
| 13:53.21 | Imperios | Fair point |
| 13:53.34 | Wormy_ | Embryology might throw a spanner in the works, since the chemistry of the womb acts as a sort of "record player", triggering genes to activate in a certain way. The result might look more elephant than mommath. |
| 13:53.46 | Wormy_ | *mammoth |
| 13:54.23 | Hachiman | Wouldn't the elephant mother essentially just be a surrogate for a modified embryo? |
| 13:54.53 | Hachiman | If Siberia thaws somewhat then it could be a viable place to plant mammoths so long as the place can fulfil their dietary needs |
| 13:54.54 | NeonPanda | yes, but as Wormy pointed out, wombs work differently from species to species |

| 13:59.17 | Primisback | yeah |
| 13:59.20 | Hachiman | I do recall that |
| 13:59.24 | NeonPanda | you can make a chicken walk like a raptor by weighing down their tail a little |
| 13:59.33 | Hachiman | They had to abort the embryos though |
| 13:59.39 | Hachiman | As they were not allowed to let them hatch |
| 14:00.05 | Monet | I remember that. |
| 14:00.05 | Wormy_ | I thought it was because they needed to work out the ethics of it first |
| 14:00.58 | Hachiman | They were not allowed to let them hatch *because* of ethical issues |
| 14:02.40 | Wormy_ | Well, if they died. It would look very bad on the field and their respect would be tarnished. |

| 16:00.09 | NeonPanda | given the amount of BS people nowadays find offensive, undoubtedly |
| 16:00.40 | DrodoEmpire | In all seriousness, it depends entirely on the robot and how uptight they are that day whether or not they decide to take offense to something :p |

| 17:54.24 | Wormy_ | Loads of butthurt Elon Musk fans on Thunderf00t's video |
| 17:55.56 | Monet | Any particularly notable responses? |
| 17:56.16 | Wormy_ | The only one good argument in defence of the hyperloop is that its meant to be a exercise in solving problems, the hyperloop might never happen at the very least in the form it was conceptualised, or it could spur on other innovations |
| 17:57.11 | Wormy_ | Most people are chiming onto Thunderf00t saying it was a vacuum tube when the paper describes it as "low pressure", not knowing that a thousandth of an atmosphere is pretty close to vacuum. |
| 17:58.55 | Wormy_ | Although one good physics response is that if the tubes did get breached, the air might move into the tube at the speed of sound, but it wouldn't be at atmospheric density, so unless it right behind the train there's a chance it won't crush the vehicle. That seems to make sense to me |
| 17:59.42 | Wormy_ | That it would have a gradient to it |
| 18:00.42 | Monet | Makes sense |
| 18:04.19 | Wormy_ | Meanwhile, the idea of tunnelled transport seems to be having numerous apparitions on other areas of media (these ideas are old, but trends) |
| 18:04.44 | Technobliterator | Wormy_, this is common across YouTube |
| 18:04.57 | Technobliterator | The comments section of every video these days is such cancer |
| 18:04.57 | Wormy_ | See http://inhabitat.com/norway-to-build-worlds-first-floating-underwater-traffic-tunnels/ |
| 18:05.03 | Technobliterator | Even worse than I ever remember it |
| 18:05.07 | Wormy_ | I totally agree |
| 18:06.06 | Monet | Though it does demonstrate the kind of cult attitude surrounding Elon that I mentioned the other day. |
| 18:08.00 | Wormy_ | To be fair the hyperloop doesn't make him a crank |
| 18:08.33 | Wormy_ | Its just a design concept meant to spur research he will probably profit from in some way or another |
| 18:09.12 | Monet | Yeah, the aim is likely to spur business, maybe encourage more startups. |
| 18:09.13 | Wormy_ | But people will rush into to defend Musk even though he doesn't exactly need defending |
| 18:09.55 | Monet | Thunderf00t provides provides criticism of the plan. |
| 18:10.29 | Wormy_ | It certainly doesn't make it impossible |
| 18:10.53 | Technobliterator | I wish something similar would be possible |
| 18:10.55 | Technobliterator | But alas |
| 18:11.36 | Wormy_ | Maybe hyperloops are safer in some more restricted sense, like underground and away from fault zones. Or just short circuits with a bit more atmospheric pressure |
| 18:11.39 | Monet | The particle I did link the other day did say at one point "if Elon has devised a way to build pylons cheaply the nfantastic!" |
| 18:11.50 | Monet | article* |
| 18:12.48 | Monet | The hyperloop could work as a subway or tunnel system. |
| 18:12.54 | Wormy_ | Maybe hyperloops are a better idea on other planets. |
| 18:13.34 | Monet | A hyperloop on the moon could save money by not needing the vacuum tube. |
| 18:13.47 | Wormy_ | Mars has both a thinner atmosphere and appears geologically dead, though thats not a certain claim. |
| 18:14.25 | Monet | Though I do wonder now if the elevated pylon system was for marketing purposes. |
| 18:14.41 | Wormy_ | I haven't seen this elevated pylon system |
| 18:16.33 | Monet | http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/1623E/production/_89668609_77dc6054-ad33-4e2a-b595-659721da72e1.jpg these pylons. |
| 18:20.42 | Wormy_ | Oh I see |
| 18:21.07 | Wormy_ | Maybe it will revolutionise the pylon industry |
| 18:21.43 | Monet | It might encourage things. |
| 18:22.00 | Wormy_ | Protoss - "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS" |
| 18:22.15 | Monet | But I believe one of the reasons pylons are so expensive is you need to drill to bedrock to set them int othe ground |
| 18:26.16 | Monet | The deeper you need to drill to hit bedrock, the more expensive your pylon gets. |
| 18:26.33 | Wormy_ | I would have thought they would need to engineer them to be earthquake proof, like buildings, so able to move a little bit. |
| 18:26.47 | Wormy_ | For a track along California |
| 18:30.01 | Monet | They would need to engineer a way to keep the track stable. Especially since unlike a standard railway, a break somewhere on the line affects the whole route. |
| 18:31.44 | Monet | With deep enough foundations the pylons might be able to resist slipping and falling over. |
| 18:32.26 | Monet | But I think the crux of a pylon's price is that in order to keep it stable you have to drill towards and partially into solid rock. |
| 18:33.26 | Monet | The other hinderance to doing this is any aquifers you might have to drill near or over. |
| 18:39.47 | Monet | I've seen reports that water dependence in California is so severe that, especially the case in the central valley, the land is actually sinking because the water content in many local aquifers is reaching critical levels |
| 18:43.06 | Monet | If this project comes up with a way to set foundations cheaply, it would herald a golden age of cost-effective construction. |

| 19:48.02 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 19:50.20 | Monet | The episode I heard was talking about chemtrails |
| 19:53.26 | Monet | He mentioned something about affecting persons of above or below 150 IQ, didn't quite catch it but I realised there's a genius to saying 'that the effect of chemtrails relates to IQ in regards to the scheme's legitimacy |
