Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava
  • Basically everyone gets evacuated from the affected area and are staying with friends and family in Reykjavík. Grindavík is a very small town compared to the rest of the world. The government has offered to buy properties from the ones who cannot return, since the erruptions have been going for a few years in that area and there's no sign of stopping.

    To answer your question for the rescuers, researchers, and workers left in the area, once the eruption starts it's quite easy to predict the flow. Luckily there are a few other roads without the risk of lava flow, mainly due to lava diverting barricades. In case of emergencies they use helicopters.

    Other parts in eruption risk zones would be similar, since it's just not worth it for people to stay in those areas and most people can stay with family. And repairs to the road are usually pretty quick when the eruption dies down.

  • The world’s largest direct carbon capture plant just went online
  • Here in Iceland, where this is located, we produce more green energy than we consume and can't store that energy, and the carbon is pumped straight into the basalt below which absorbs it. I think doing it here is a decent way to do research on improving the technology.

  • It's gonna be so cool
  • Not only do they fail, it is pretty hard to hit the right spot. Too many animals are merely paralyzed by the bolt, and are fully capable of feeling the blade across their throat.

  • just wow
  • Well, mainly carnivorous animals tend to eat raw meat.

    Humans evolved from herbivores and our intestinal tract is still not suited for killing parasites and harmful bacteria present in animal bodies, which is why we delegated part of our digestion to process organic material outside of the body (cooking). Whereas carnivores have high saliva and stomach acidity to digest raw meat, on top of a short and smooth intestine tract for a quick pass through so there's less chance of parasites staying around.

    We have none of those carnivorous features, and therefore eating any raw meat is a substantial risk, especially animal bodies with a high likelihood of salmonella contamination. Even when meat is cooked it seems to have negative effects on our long term health, such as increased chance of cardiovascular disease and digestion related cancers.

  • Just switch series monitoring to "All Episodes" and then do "Search Monitored", or use Jellyseerr.

    Both handle old seasons perfectly, I've not had any individual episode downloads.

  • Still no trace of man who fell into a volcanic fissure two days ago in Iceland

    The search had been paused due to a rockfall.

    Search resumes for man in Grindavík - RÚV.is

    The search has been going full time for a man who fell into a crevasse in Grindavík Wednesday morning. A drone was sent into the water in the fissure to investigate the situation.

    The search conditions are very challenging. Work has been done to widen the opening of the crevasse, which was very narrow. This has so far meant that it has only been possible to bring two people down into the crack to search each time

    The search has been going on all night for a man who fell into a crevasse in Grindavík yesterday morning. A drone was sent into the water in the fissure to investigate the situation.
