I would of thought that adjusting to the very thin atmosphere with virtually no oxygen would be the biggest problem for humans, then the cold temperatures, and maybe the 1/3 G
The long days, not so much. But then I work night shift.
Supermassive black holes have a different origin than stellar black holes
Anyway how big is it now (if it was 12 billion solar masses 12 billion years ago it must be pretty big now. Does this account for the missing dark matter?
The exploding rail cars had the volitile Bakken crude oil, not the tar sands oil (which wouldn't explode if you put 4 million volts through it.)
The pipeline that is going to take the Bakken crude is called Sandpiper, and will run through MN to Duluth where it csn be shipped through the great lakes and St Lawrence to refineries. There is also a refinery being completed near Minot, ND
We don't need no stinking tar sand oil, and the cost of refining it makes it uneconomical at current world prices and it probably creates as much Co2 per megajoule as coal with the energy it takes to refine it.
Some sort of protest could be organised , like having a go slow at those intersections that have the cameras, and snarling up the whole city. Alos if possible find alternate routes even if it takes longer.
"We will never see EV's as a viable solution to the masses. The trouble right now is no alternative is getting large numbers of people onboard which is required to be successful."
Sounds likr you nrrf electric buses if you want to get "large numbers of people onboard" They do have electric buses in some countries, (the overhead wired type known as trolleybuses) and battery power could work for school buses.
How is this better than the driver getting out of the truck, walking up to your front door, and putting the parcel down. Sure he wont get so cold (its nearly up to zero today) I still don't think drones would cope with bad weather that well (eg the east coast right now)
I don't know about Spherical Cows , but I thought The Prisoners' Dilemma was that if he tried to escape he would get run down by a large rubbery sphere.
Theres threats from outside the Solar system, like nearby supernova or gamma ray burst, and of course aliens. Even 'friendly" aliens could end our civilisation.

We need improvements in cooling so we can have a colder 'room'
Especialy in summer. In winter you just open a window.

"How many exoplanets pass the current IAU definition of 'planet'? I bet a bunch don't."
What jurisdiction does the IAU have outside this solar system anyway?
If there are inhabitants of those exo-solar systems then they get to decide.

"Discrimination, passengers can not be discriminated against based on protected aspects such as race, gender, age, etc."
Free rides for Koreans seems to be a direct violation of this.

Bugs can be made shallow?
On Linux, bugs are only skin deep
Why have bugs at all?

Electric cars can be charged during off peak hours by wind or other non-carbon producing energy production.
Aussies don'i play baseball, they play cricket.
Who washes their car in the winter? By the time you've driven it home its dirty again.
How high is the area around Madrid, Spain
I did Physics 101 at Massey University, in NZ
Traffic management would be crucial, what happens if a capsule from NZ and one from spain are in the tunnel at the same time
Anyway if we had the technology to drill even a tenth of the esy to the centre of the earth, our energy nrrds would be solved.

How does Dayton feel about it?

I guess they didn't think hard enough.

Lets hope they can find the ancient aliens civilisation so we can discover some of their technology (fusion power, FTL druve, antigravity...
Maybe if they put Power lines underground they wouldn't come down every time there is a storm, which seems to be twice a week in New England
