Grand Wagoneer wishing they had numbers like that
Yeah. I have a small pocket knife i carry everywhere, it is stainless. I’ve had it for years, and frequently bring it in the water with me clipped to my swim suit (incase i need to cut a tangled rope). I wash it like a dish with soap and water, i use it hard and put it away wet, and it has been fine for years and years.
After all this, i took it on a single trip in salt water, it spotted with rust that night.
I also have a Sig P938 SAS which has a stainless slide. I keep that dry and oil it on occasion, and yet that one spotted with rust within a year despite me taking good care of it. Luckily sig replaced the slide but this taught me one good lesson.
Different grades of stainless make it different grades of rust resistant. Kind of like calling IP67 electronics, like the iPhone 7, “waterproof” when they can only really withstand splashing. Some can get dunked, some can’t.
Public? No officer, i was masturbating on the moon!
The forest grows out, gets fat with wood and brush and stuff, then it all dies to a fire or whatever. Something new always rises, and I’m excited for the new growth
Google and netflix and stuff will eventually push people away and people will find something new to do with their time.
Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). You get a bit of range straight ev, usually like 30 miles, then it switches over to traditional hybrid with gas engine. It’s the best of both worlds or the worst of both worlds depending on perspective.
Pepe who like them: You get an around town ev that is also a hybrid for roadtrips that can refill at gas stations and charge overnight on any old traditional wall plug. You save a pile of money on gas and can get a solid tax credit on the purchase.
Pepe who dislike them: You have to go to the gas station and you have to plug it in. You have maintenance of both powertrain systems which can be more expensive as it requires certified technicians to work with the higher voltage. Registration costs a ton. Their typically packed into traditional IC models (like an og jeep) making it pretty dense under the hood and the body is less efficient than a real high mpg IC car or straight EV.
I personally like them, but have been weary of them since we run our vehicles till the wheels fall off at 250,000 miles after 10 years and don’t know what the extended maintenance looks like for them.
Americans buy crossovers, so they make ot look like a crossover. Small is efficient, so Americans get the beans
Whats your take on temu
One answer could be to croudsource it. A mesh network of generative and storage nodes, like someone with solar and a home battery, but large enough to backfeed as needed. Perhaps on an hoa/neighborhood scale. If it could be incentivizes and achieved without undercutting the grid then it could eliminate the need for peaker plants
Lol i love how he called it X .com way back then and they renamed it to paypal.
You should make a series list of episodes, it’s a pretty good format to remember all the crazy stuff that has rolled through lately
Would this not be s05e01?
Excellent distinction. Ty for the info
Besides maybe coal
Everything I find shows them as still being subsidized and receiving the lions share of energy subsidies, which is fine in my book.
They do get subsidized pretty well, which is a good thing in my book.
The US was like that 20-30 years ago
Or a giant indoor maze that takes multiple days to finish. Elevator to the top, pack in a backpack or supplies. Complete challenges for coins that can be used at ‘trading posts’ or too unlock levels. Have trick stairwells and stuff, levels that dead end where you have to go back up and find amother way down.
I’m guessing they had to stay within their funding/budget and didn’t want to reduce the sample size to increase the number of variables tested. MRIs are expensive
Back in my day…
Yes but concrete is required. It is literally the foundation of modern civilization. It is the second most used substance on the planet after water. Without it we would have to do away with things like roads, power plants (green and carbon emitting), housing, water treatment and waste treatment plants, erosion control and seawalls, and most production facilities for all of our day to day goods and essentials.
The industry is making steps to reduce its up front carbon cost and inrease captured carbon in the concrete, but it is slow moving as big changes can cause major problems with infrastructure. Noone wants their hospital falling down because they used a new mix design that hasn’t been thoroughly tested and tried.
We dont work without concrete, but i’m pretty sure we do work without bitcoin.
If your just looking at fun carbon emitting facts though, then aluminum smelting is another huge number like 4% globally. Concrete is like 7% globally, and HVAC is like 12%.
