What a bad game though. So unfocused, such random difficulty spikes. Little kitty big city did it better. Though the graphics in stray were great

I once swiped on a profile like this, though it was named Kat F. We ended up having a lovely date, but not continuing

Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried

Seems like this map accurately displays the poles at the expense of the continents

Passive homes (a building designed for minimum losses on heating and cooling) are cheaper and easier to construct than you might think. In fact, it's nearly the default code in Massachusetts.

There is a lot happening on that graph with not nearly enough metrics to tell you what it's presenting

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. Equipped to move up to 6 passengers or 2 pilots and 3 pallets, its a small yet versatile tool. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the aircraft, much like the engine of a traditional aircraft, however, future batteries could feature improvements, meaning the vehicle gets better over time. The redundancy that Electric motors allow more easily than mechanical motors means this aircraft is far safer than anything else in the air.

I'm actually very distressed myself that I've stepped on you. This is not what I expected or wanted out of my day and I hope we can move along and never see each other again ever

Rattlesnakes aren't even all that triggerhappy. A guy in Arizona went around the desert with a proxy leg and "stepped" on over 150 rattlers and for the most part, the snakes just wanted to get away. I think he said 6 of them chose to bite the leg

The economic advantage of SMRs is that when you make reactors in a location, the 1st is always more expensive than any following reactors. Just a reality of construction, permits, designs, etc. So if you have 4 reactors in one place, that's pretty nice. They also have the advantage of being able to turn one off for maintenance and then having 2, 3, 4 other reactors in the same vicinity that can pick up the slack for the duration.

As for waste, yeah it's the same problem. But it's important to note that the volume of material is not that big. The entire volume produced by all us nuke energy ever takes up a football field stacked 10 yards high. All told, that's a smaller problem than I ever thought.

I'm not a big nuclear advocate, I'm pretty mid on it. This is where I got all of the above information, an interview with the head of the US DOE loan program https://www.volts.wtf/p/nuclear-perhaps?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The energy system we have today does not match the solarpunk future we dream of. If we work towards the right energy system today, we may just have a solarpunk tomorrow

We have a system, and we do not have the political will to get rid of that system. Go ahead and build a coalition towards a better system, but until that coalition is tangible, harm reduction is not complicity.

The take that struck me the most came towards the end. And it's that when you electrify, not only are you not burning fossil fuels to work your stove, but you're also not burning fossil fuels to power the drilling equipment, to ship the crude oil, to refine it, to pump it to your stove.

A large portion of our critical energy demand is just getting fossil fuel energy to its point of use, so small amounts of electrification and efficiency improvements at point of use have large impacts on the upstream emissions

Nasa uses 15 digits of pi for solar system travel. And 42 digits is enough to calculate the entire universe to atomic accuracy
