So the theory explained here is that Hydrogen mixed with the Oxygen in the melted rock (magma) of earth, under extremely high pressure to create our earth specific flavor of H2O (appropriate amount of trace minerals and deuterium).

Am I reading that correctly?

If that's the type of writing prompt that interests you, you may enjoy the Children of Time Series by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

I don’t know that GitHub per se would be a requirement, But when I think open source - I usually think about being able to browse the code in some type of repository, in a human readable format.

I like to browse a codebase in some way that I don’t have to download and unzip an unknown set of files.

Is it possible to summarize what this is/was? I know I could RTFM but it's 336 pages, and the wiki didn't seem to shed any light on this for me.

This reminds me of a fascinating book I read a few years ago about experiments using electricity to promote cellular healing and regeneration.

It was called The Body Electric.

It's an interesting book and I think it's worth a read.

The author, Peter Zeihan, does a good job of melding geography, demographics, energy, and food supply to come up with a deterministic approach to geo-politics.

I have no clue how accurate it is, but it's a fun mental algorithm for simplifying complex and nuanced situations.

His prediction, and I'm paraphrasing here, was that Russian Demographics are more or less in free fall. Every year after ~2020 the Russians have less and less fighting age men and their army will be weaker and weaker.

Additionally, because most of populated Russia is a flat plane, they have no geographic barriers to protect their cities. Therefore they need to forward position their troops in order to feel secure.

So his assertion, was that based on previous Russian military conflicts, Ukraine was the next most likely target, and that if Russia wanted to do anything, they'd have to do something sometime earlier on in this decade. Otherwise they can't field an army of significant size to forward position their troops.
