Has anyone looked into the theory that SO2 is an "anti-greenhouse" gas and that much of the greenhouse effects of CO2 have been negated by SO2. Essentially SO2 particles stay in the air for a long time and reflects a large spectru

With the proliferation of high wH usb-c power banks (for less than 100 bucks), I don't see the value in getting a computer that adds weight or bulk for battery life. Reason being by default then I get a thin and light laptop, or I can
