I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.

The probability of an asteroid firing in very low, but never zero.

Not just a lot of exposed rock surface. But also, there are energy costs for pumping water to the exposed surface. Factoring in the efficiency of the carbon removal from the water, I find it hard to believe it is a good solution.
Wouldn’t it be better if we focus on better sources of energy? I am no expert, but I know about it more than a common man due to my academic background in civil engineering.

I don’t know. What do you think is the concentration of CO2 in the sea water? I am just not convinced.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 week ago:
Carbon sequestration is not going to solve global warming. CO2 is less than 2% of atmosphere. Even if you pass a shitton of air through the strata the difference will be negligible.

Smoking cigarettes for health benefits is like messing with an angry bear, so that you can have a jog.

"And I, too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.” this quote by Camus in “The Stranger” always get me. Points out the absurdism of searching for a meaning in this vast, complex and more importantly indifferent universe.
Of course, Nietzsche felt different. He thought we still had an obligation to do great.
To me personally, taoism seems to provide a happy middle ground. Do what you can, try what you want. In the end success or failure brings some pros and some cons. Life is all about navigating the water current. Sometimes, you take control and other times you let the water carry you. It is all about knowing when to do either.

Nietzsche particularly said that we should all strive to be the best versions of ourselves, something he called “uber-mensch” an idea, which I believe was hijacked by Nazis.
He was a nihilist, but he also urged everyone to create their own values and follow it to be the best you can be. But, then he was also a disgusting sexist. People are complicated.

This happened to me yesterday. There was a discussion thread on whether Attack on Titan is on par with great literature. I personally agreed with the sentiment and I explained in a comment, why I think so. I got downvoted because it was counter to generally accepted stance in the comment section. I was just trying to foster discussion. They didn’t even argue against my views, just downvoted me. But, I guess that is internet for you, people don’t want to have discussion. Most people are just seeking validation for their views. I am sure I am guilty of it too.

I only work hard for myself. Contributing to open source bcoz that is the one that gives me satisfaction, even if not the money.

Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.
