Because cars are well regulated to make them as safe as possible.

While this is debatable, the regulation of cars is still a useful allegory for gun regulation.

You could rotate it before battle to your preferred position, but not rotate it mid battle.

The biggest issue isn’t who is in charge, it’s the fact that humans are fundamentally incapable of cooperating across large groups.

I'm not so sure that this is an inherent problem with humanity so much as it is a symptom of our current political and economic systems and culture.

Take you pandemic/mask example for instance. Pretty much everyone was on board with masks, social distancing, etc, until a few weeks/months in when it got politicized. Conservative leaders saw they could rile up their base by take a stance against the science. And they took advantage of our cultural preference for individualism where we could instead have a more collectivist culture.

These systems and cultural norms aren't inherent to humans. It's inherent to our shitty half-democracy, capitalism, etc.

But those same salt of the earth workers are going to negotiate climate controls with China?

The oil lobby pays shit loads of money to propagandize the population in the exact same way the tobacco industry did it. Start dealing with that, and the workers won't buy the bullshit propaganda anymore.

It's excruciatingly easy to side load on android, to the point where it is outright dangerous for laymen.

All it will take is a 30s tiktok showing how to side load and they're done, tech literate or not

Bikes, bike infrastructure, and ebikes are about as carbon efficient as you can get without just straight up walking.

But they're not really feasible for most people because few cities have enough protected bike lanes and sensible zoning to let it happen.

So we have much easier options.

Then maybe we shouldn't have been pissing away lives and trillions of dollars on pointless wars.

I agree with everything you said except for your last paragraph. Scientifically speaking, it is not to late. Politically it is, but politics can and have swung wildly. Our best bet is the younger generation shows up to the polls and votes in green candidates. My local area has had some good success with this at least.

As for the geoengineering, I can see that being the unfortunate case. I'm concerned it's going to be a far dumber and dangerous version of it though, like intentionally nuking a remote islands a couple times to start a mild nuclear winter.

That's probably not possible, and it would be ineffective. The fossil fuel industry is still actively killing the planet, and will continue to do so for as long as they are allowed. The motivation to pollute will still exist even if we make carbon capture profitable.

Here are some actual solutions:

• A carbon/pollution tax. The cost of carbon pollution isn't reflected in the price of oil barrels. Fix that, and then people will start switching away from fossil fuels. You can't let the externalities be externalities, that's how we got into this mess in the first place.

• Ending the subsidies the fossil fuel industry receives, as well as tax breaks. Instead give that money to renewable energy sources

• Fix our shitty ass transportation system. We are too dependent on cars & planes. Bikes, trains, and busses need to be viable, but they aren't with our current infrastucture/lackthereof

• Higher density residential building with mixed use zoning. How are we going to have a green world when it takes a half hour car ride to walmart to get groceries?

Of course, none of these are really possible with money still in politics, and with voter apathy. But this is the pathway forward.

Fusion360

Tried out FreeCad/Ondsel, and just couldn't get it to cooperate. Trying to do even basic changes would constantly result in errors/crashes. I spent maybe two weeks trying to make a single model. Then I tried making the same model in Fusion360 and was done in an half an hour. Granted, there is a huge difference in experience level here between these pieces of software, but still.

So I think my best bet for now is a jailbroken copy of Fusion360.

Given the amount of force and level of violence it would take to make that happen, I'd think the needle would get destroyed or pushed out of place pretty quickly.

You'd need to embed the needle halfway through the tube, and it would have to be flush with the rest of the tube. And it'd need to be a thick ass tube.

You're also going to need to strain the bones and cartilage out, and pulp them.
