“Strength training in a gym and doing bodyweight exercises seemed to confer roughly equivalent benefits.”

Important for those who prefer pullups/pushups…

10 years ago the initials DHH would be instantly recognizable to any HNer. I remember joining when the ROR-Django wars were raging. Times have changed.

Dick is one of the writers that accompanied me in my youth, along with the Golden Agers (IA, RAH, AC etc.). His books are the base for many SF tv/movies. Total Recall, The Man in the High Castle, and others. This story, written in the fifties, is eerily evocative of todays drone warfare.

I am also looking for a similar solution, but for various documents of different sizes and types.

Ideally it would also make it easy to give names for folders and subfolders.

So what can be expected in the coming few years for the UK?

- Managed decline (sounds the best but maybe too optimistic)

- Catastrophic crash or hyperinflation

- State default

- Miracle (on the scale of North Sea oil discovery or even more)

- something else

I read that the oxygen content of the atmosphere was significantly higher then:

"The atmosphere of the Earth 80 million years ago was discovered to have 50% more oxygen than modern air. Brenner and Landis found that for all gas samples taken from amber 80 million years old the oxygen content ranged between 25% to 35% and averaged about 30% oxygen".

From: https://www.npl.washington.edu/av/altvw27.html

Sounds like being supercharged with oxygen could support larger mass on land.

Even assuming you could build one, the artificial gravity created by the rotation would only exist around the equator, diminishing to nothing at the poles. So only a natrow band would keep people and their stuff from floatin ofr into the bubble eventually falling into the sun.

How do Dyson sphere proponents solve this?
