Suck, suck, suck!

The “world’s largest” plant designed to suck planet-heating pollution out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum began operating in Iceland on Wednesday.

“Mammoth” is the second commercial direct air capture plant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021.

Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the carbon using chemicals. The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products.

Climeworks plans to transport the carbon underground where it will be naturally transformed into stone, locking up the carbon permanently. It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called sequestration process.

I admit I am so extremely curious as to how the divorce, custody, visitation, new spouses, new half siblings, and all that is worked out in this family. 

I always felt sorry for Kelly.  Raised as a Fundie Princess, and then marrying a Fundie Prince who seemed more into what she represented than who she was.  Having kid after kid, getting hauled to Europe when 11 days postpartum after a C-section, and then needing to be flown to the hospital with life-threatening complications because she started walking around in Europe less than two weeks after a c-section.  And then divorce and being quickly married off to someone and dropping off the radar.

I get that she grew up fundie, but at this point I hope she's looked around her life and wondered what, if anything, this bullshit is doing for her life.

It's a numbing agent, right? Treats a symptom but not the actual issue. Exactly what the crunchy crowd claims real doctors do.

This is what's wild to me! Some are into it because of healthcare costs - which are truly outrageous. But then they'll go and spend $50,000* to feed their egos in their last days. It's infuriating! But yeah, you really showed Them how incompetent they are. 🙄
 

*A Pearl son-in-law is most likely dying of cancer and instead of spending his final days around his children (and grandchildren?) he and his wife have spent $50,000 on non treatments in Mexico. The 50,000 is only to the "clinic" it doesn't include their living expenses during the time. Because they're in a low cost of living area their living expenses are quite low but holy shit! You have issues with medicine but you'll throw down $50,000+ for placebos?!!! (To be fair it does sound like his cancer was probably terminal when he was diagnosed so it's not like there much Big Medicine could've done for him anyway but he could at least be comfortable at home!

So Braggie totally fixed her tooth with coconut oil pulling and some stupid red light therapy box ($629 on Lume). She’s cured! The woo is strong with this idiot.
