Tipping point has tipped?
The one I remember scaring the hell out of everyone is the permafrost melt.
Thaw out enough permafrost and it releases enough greenhouse gasses to self perpetuate. No human interaction required.

I hate summer and daylight saving more.
If you’re too cold, you can always do something. If you’re too hot, you can only do so much then be miserable.
So, I have an inherent bias… I inherited my grandmothers Le Creuset dutch oven that she bought in the 50s. It’s still usable, so I built out a full set around that.
Problem: Le Creuset is STUPID expensive.
But here’s the secret… Find an outlet store near you and sign up for their email list.
They will regularly offer sales from 30% to 70% off.

I just knocked out this set:
Dutch Oven
Skillet
Saucepan
Braiser
Cassadou
$1,460 -30% = $1,022…
My set, grammas is the 70 year old pot with the loop handle in the middle.
Foodporn:
Stop giving them clicks.

So, I have an electric wheelchair… I guess I’m lucky because there’s no DRM. It’s not a “smart” chair. It folds and unfolds itself and has a remote control, that’s about as fancy as it gets.
But just about every piece of it is user replacable.

Of course, Medicare didn’t pay for it either, I bought it out of pocket.
Snowpiercer is the sequel to Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
