"I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount to both parties."

Karma is back in the green now.

Ooohh I see now its because we aren't screeching about the evil republics and how the dems are innocent to all of this, even funnier since I was non-biases but fuck its reddit where free speach dies and the far left are "moderates"

Thanks, appreciate the response

>you sound like you know

Key word here is sound. This person knows nothing about environmental modelling.

I gave you an upvote.

I’m getting downvoted too. It’s weird, we’re talking about the data.

A new paradigm, earth + plastic.

I dont think I disagree always odd when I get down votes for nothing but okay.

Thank you

Its called "guns dont kill people on their own"

what an awesome infographic poster mr ryan liwag!

Ryan attempted to diversify tbh

FTX made a substantial percentage of democrat donations received.

I think SBF was the #2 biggest donor for Dems.

They’ll still get money but not like that FTX money and not soon.

If FTX continued to grow as expected, they would’ve given Dems so much money.

well you will need that much security when you have terror factory pakistan as your neighbour.

you guys should focus on your own internal security rathering than being obsessed with your neighbour.

213 pakistani soldiers killed in 2022 . lmao . instead of feeding your corrupt general, better fund your internal security.

i wonder how "bleed india through thousand cuts" is going.

They'll find a new source for their money, its not like he was giving it out of the goodness of his heart, these groups/specific people had him paying them. Money will flow no matter who it is or how illegal the means, fuck politicians!

Damn. If FTX kept running like it was supposed too, democrats would’ve been swimming in it every election cycle.

FTX and its debtors are urging political figures and PACs to return donations before Feb 28, with the threat of a prospective bankruptcy court lawsuit.
We visualized the funds donated by former FTX executives Sam Bankman-Fried, Ryan Salame and Nishad Singh, based on political group and ideology.
Former FTX Executives contributed more than $80 million to political groups in 2022, of which liberal groups received the majority at 63%.
Bankman-Fried even pledged to donate up to $1 billion during the 2024 election cycle. 👀

I said what would be in burned vinyl chloride.

That doesn't tell me whether this graphic here is supposed to represent the burned column of smoke (with those things in it) OR cold gas nearer the ground from un burned stuff evaporating off of spilled pools of chemicals.

A distinction I actually made clear in my first comment.

> You seem to be suggesting that it can't or shouldn't.

Not if you don't know whether the gas is cold or burning hot, it can't. Or have any clue as to its general density.

I suspect that the issue isn't that the modeler didn't know any of those things, they almost surely did. But then didn't LABEL them. Making it just a bad graph. Dime a dozen on this subreddit, randomly not labeling crucial information is a tale as old as /r/dataisbeautiful I still don't know which one it is though.

> "its probably headed this way", which is all this model appears to be saying.

No, it's giving specific parts per million in the graphic. And also, as I mentioned as well from the start, it's showing some plumes suddenly disappearing, which I suspected might be "hitting rain clouds and getting knocked out of the air" but was interested in confirmation on.

That's so sad. Felt heartbroken to hear about that kind of scenario, poor aquatic animals.

It's important to note also that very small island nations cannot have large scale landfills or recycling plants for obvious reasons. They have to ship their waste off island, this is expensive, pretty obvious why people dump a lot in the ocean

HYSPLIT is primarily a model for predicting the movement of localized masses of air that start at a specific point, over a certain period of time, given local conditions/forecast. The only reason I've heard of it is because balloon pilots use it to predict flight paths. I didn't even know it could be used for tracing contaminants. You seem to be suggesting that it can't or shouldn't. But a model doesn't have to be perfect to be useful, and even a crude model is better than no model. I don't know this w/ certainty but I would assume that for gaseous contaminant dispersal, the biggest controlling factor on the dispersal pattern would simply be weather - regardless of gas composition. If that's true then HYSPLIT seems more than sufficient to at the very least say "its probably headed this way", which is all this model appears to be saying.

According to this, it's more like 0.04% phosgene, not 9%, off by multiple orders of magnitude there. And zero notable "other toxic compounds" either in any measurable quantities. Just CO is the only other one you didn't mention, which is not toxic in minute quantities in open air in the sky.

But 1 in 24 people is an active service, armed paramilitary?

I could understand it, if they were disaster workers. Dealing with the annual monsoon, typhoon season and the occasional earthquake. The only countries that they have to worry about is Burma (Myanmar) and to a lesser extent PRC as they don't share a border with PRC. Who would have to go through India and Bhutan to get to Bangladesh.
