Humans as a species surviving or not isn't really what bothers me. It's the billions of humans, and animals who will suffer and die in the meantime that bother me. I get what you're saying, but it comes off as "a million or even a billion people may survive so ignore the rest" to me who's a cynic. Sorry.

    quartz optical discs with femtosecond lasers are good for 360TB for 100K years

    I got excited about the possibility of backing up shit once, and forever. Then I tried to buy this. Maybe this thread has made me too optimistic lol.

    Oh yeah, the merging thing confused me in Alberta. People who were already on the highway would move over to the middle/left lanes when they saw someone trying to merge. Like whaaat? Are they stupid or something? Didn't anyone teach them that the correct thing to do is to speed up in an attempt to stop new cars from entering the highway? It's like they hate their home life and are not even trying to get home 0.2 seconds faster.

    There was construction going on every fucking where in Calgary, so I didn't get to experience much of their city driving itself, so I can't comment on that. Drivers were lovely outside of the city and in Edmonton though.
