As always, buying a used previous gen flagship is the best value.

Not really a countermeasure, but the scalping certainly proved that there is a lot of people willing to buy their stuff at high prices.

The article is wrong. You don’t need high growth, any amount of growth more than 0 over a long time frame will inevitably see a civilization spread throughout the galaxy. If there was a civilization a hundred million years old in our galaxy it would be noticeable.

Sulfur cools the planet but not by shading, it’s more similar to how CO2 acts but in reverse.
