Kind of looks like those cash registers are just closed...the left side is the exact same counter, those two halves are connected.
Also, it's mid-game. Crowd's generally more sparse when the action is going on the field
I'm usually so out of it I try to completely avoid contact with others (and they, me) because I know there's a good chance I'll be a jerk. And I'm not really a coffee or caffeine addict
...it sounds like you are.
Personally, I'm pretty content when I wake up. I'm not an explosion like your wife is, but the morning light does get me going.
My gf actually has remarked that sometimes I'm in full morning mode when she comes over. By 7am I'm making pancakes from scratch because nothing beats a good breakfast on the weekend
It's a great cheap alternative.
Try and look for the higher end ones though, even ones imported from Asia if you have a good Asian market nearby. I got an instant ramen pack that came in much nicer packaging than your typical cup of ramen and it cost only marginally more than the value pack.
One of the best meal's I've had even out of a packet.
Lots of mom and pop stores, bodegas, and independent markets exist by me, so no worries on that.
As for the grocery stores, I haven’t seen empty sections since the early days of covid
I’m in the Midwest, for the record
Well I'm at least glad that you can recognize that too much CO2 is a bad thing! So we've got that part covered.
Now, how it affects things globally is trickier. Hard to test for that. What we are seeing though are changes already that can be attributed to increased CO2 levels. Dying corals, dried water reservoirs, etc are currently taking place. Are we dead yet? Nope! Will the world be a desolate wasteland by the time I die? Probably not! But in the coming generations, at this rate, the CO2 levels are affecting things in a way that we should minimize.
Where did all the plants die? It's not an overnight thing. Many plants have adapted and survived. Many others have become extinct in the wild.
Life on earth is already threatened. It's just not yours right now.
Yeah clearly. All you seem to do is just make up whatever you think is right and not do any actual research to see if you're correct.
I work in the manufacturing field for sensors, not botany. I just posted you some links to it though. Long story short, it depends on the plant, as I said before.
I think based on our current progress we can expect things to get closer to dangerous levels though, yes, in time.
When you say most, is that just a guess? Do you have a figure in mind or are you just assuming?
I actually decided to look up some more articles on industrial greenhouses. They're all agreeing with me:
An increase in ambient CO2 to 800-1000 ppm can increase yield of C3 plants up to 40 to 100 percent and C4 plants by 10 to 25 percent while keeping other inputs at an optimum level. Plants show a positive response up to 700 to need of 1,800 parts per million, but higher levels of CO2 may cause plant damage (Figure 1).

Higher than recommended levels can cause necrosis of old tomato and cucumber leaves. African violet leaves become very hard and brittle, show a very dark greenish-grey colour and often malformed flower petals, which do not fully expand. A similar symptom with freesia flowers has been observed where the CO2 burner was used to provide the majority of the heat requirements of the greenhouse, and thereby generating excessive amounts of CO2. Except in emergencies, do not use CO2 burners as the prime heating system.
I've been to an industrial greenhouse. In fact, my job is a product development manager for a sensors manufacturer, and one of those sensors is an environment sensor built for greenhouses.
Do you know what one of their requests is?
They want a product that can sense CO2 levels, to make sure they don't rise above levels that return a lower quality crop yield.
Yes, CO2 is generally good for a plant. Conditions with too much CO2 and not enough other available nutrients causes many types of plants to suffer.
So I'm correct, you didn't read it. You also didn't do any research on the person who wrote it, or what their angle is, so I don't know why you expect me to.
It seems you're just clinging to your own feelings instead of actually reading facts.
Unfortunately my brain, like yours, doesn't have full intricate knowledge of how CO2 levels affect plant life. That's why I read about plants to better understand the process and find research and data that gives a more complete picture.
Are you saying that the only reason you believe what you're saying is because your brain says so?
That's not why plant life is so rich there. It's rich there because they have tons of direct sunlight, it's warm, and it's wet.
I agree. That's why I was confused when the comment before seemed to use plant life on the equator as evidence that plants are always going to be fine with more CO2:
Many plant species will suffer? LOL tell me, have you been the equator?
I already understand that plants use CO2 in the photosynthesis process to make glucose. However, what I am saying, and what evidence and observations have shown, is that in conditions with too much CO2, many plant species suffer.
I'm quite certain you didn't read it given that you replied within a minute of me sending the link, so I'm not sure how you were able to pass judgement.
If you have actual data to support what you've said, I'm happy to read it, but it seems that you're just clinging to your belief without caring about facts.
Yeah I never understood the sentiment.
Just because they go to hell when they die, it means that we have to be in hell while we live.
Pretty fucked up deal
