Speaking of my town just outside Boston ……

The food is just like the British: we have great Indian food

Depends on what you call enough protein. Part of the point of those pushing protein is the claim that most people need a lot more than government standards

Plus methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, even with the shorter lifetime. We seem entirely unable to reduce methane leaks or even measure them against natural gas usage.

But from a consumer perspective.

• where I live, electricity is much more expensive than natural gas, maybe double the cost per unit of energy
• and I pay even more for 75% renewables
• I just got a heat pump installed for my addition. So far temps have gotten just a bit under freezing and it has no problems keeping up

But that adds up to a reality where the cost threshold is mid-40°F’s. While it may be an argument in favor of solar, I don’t have enough unshaded roof to generate more than half my usage

Signing (intermediate) certs have been compromised before. That means a bad actor can issue fake certs that are validated up to your root ca certs

While you can invalidate that signing cert, without useful and ubiquitous revocation lists, there’s nothing you can do to propagate that.

A compromised signing certs, effectively means invalidating the ca cert, to limit the damage

green alone isn’t going to support our society

Let’s find out. When I started advocating for increased renewables, the expected limit was the grid destabilizing at 30% renewables. Now many places are there. I recently read a piece expecting the limit to be about 95% renewables based on scalability of todays grid storage. Were a long way from that, so let’s work toward it and see what improvements we can make along the way

Note: one of the more difficult areas to greenify will be the military, but imagine instead shrinking that as we no longer have to defend petrostates or fossil fuel trade routes

Many states have very regulated utility prices: you may need just a half dozen buddies and get appointed to the oversight board that approves rates

Imagine the savings to society with the energy independence from green energy

• shut down most of the continent wide natural gas distribution infrastructure
• shut down most of the continent wide gasoline distribution infrastructure
• cut way back on the military when we no longer have to protect oil kingdoms

No wonder American men can never find that - we need to import more German cars

Clippy was always the symbol of my hatred toward technology companies . How did he get redeemed?

I can definitely see a preference for resolving over this

I started using Libby during pandemic and for a while I was reading more than I have in years! But the wait times got me. As I read more of the easy choices, my typical wait time got longer and longer until I lost interest again

I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is

Even for ebooks, libraries are limited to how many they can lend out, plus the ebook has an imposed end of life.

I’ve read claims that ebooks are more expensive for libraries than physical books, because of those limitations

Thanks. I actually hadn’t found that faq. There’s another one about multiple toxic metals, but might not be for Corelle

Voyager I and II are 48 years old running on thermoelectric generators. that’s amazing. They are winding down because the half life of plutonium means there is much less power than when new.

I can see future probes lasting even longer with americium as a fuel source

But introducing moving parts for a sterling engine? In space? And expect it to last like that? Seems unlikely

Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up

7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes

My grocery store has started carrying “hot dog pitas”! You can fit so many toppings!

(Or really just a lot of onions and chili)

You could even call it windmilling
