and were to be distributed near German boiler rooms where it was expected they would be disposed of by burning, with the subsequent explosion having a chance of causing a boiler explosion

Wouldn’t it have been easier and more effective to just make them coal shaped?

Yeah, it seems the sensor costs as much as a decent used camera.

Please tell me, when it says “Transportation” on that chart, what exactly do you think is being transported, and where?

smallest part of the problem

This is what I’m trying to get across to you here. You’ve posted the same notion multiple times in this thread. The consumer share isn’t the smallest part, it’s most of it. All the oil we extract serves to make products, transport products, sell products to the consumer - you. It’s not being being burnt for fun.

When you engage in consumption, any amount of it, you’re pulling a string connected to a million other strings that mostly end up in an oil well one way or another. The luxury you speak of is in that consumption, not the lack of it.

And if you think otherwise, compare your lifestyle, your lifelong level of comfort to that of someone who spent their whole life living in a hut in Mali, whose lifelong emissions equal a few months worth of yours. Now try to tell that person that you’re not responsible for the gas you burn, it’s the fault of those that provided you with the option to do it. It’s insulting.

About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.

I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.

If the providers are to blame for all emissions and the consumers are free of responsibility, then all consumption is equal. If Exxon is the responsible party, then the guy buying the gas guzzler to stick it to the libs is the same as the guy driving a hybrid, as neither is to blame for their emissions.

I understand choosing comfort over living in a cave or dying, obviously, but that doesn’t mean we’re free of any and all blame. Any time a new climate report comes and it’s worse than the one before I understand that my existence and choice of comfort played a part in it . I don’t just go “oh that Exxon, smh” and carry on guilt free.

Those 100 companies are fuel producers making fuel that everyone else burns. By that metric my gas company is responsible for 100% of my gas-based greenhouse emissions.
I hate how often that study gets misused.

I remember watching golden boy on there, it was great.

It’s not over… It’s joever!

Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

They do, it’s pretty hard to get normal water to superheat, so OP’s use of the phrase “tends to” is definitely misplaced. IIRC the MythBusters did a segment on that and they used distilled water. I think also re-boiling water might increase the odds of it happening, but I’m not sure.

“It’s longer than you think!”

Well I believe if someone is benefiting from a common good, they should contribute to that good, but maybe I’m not Laissez-faire enough for this world, or “leftymemes”.

I mean that makes sense at least, because otherwise the adjacent neighbours will be having to pay more as they’re still heating their apparent. You do have to make some sacrifices when living in a block, that’s one of them.

As an outsider it’s really annoying when someone just doesn’t understand the reality they find themselves in.

A third party isn’t in the cards, it never is, but it especially isn’t right now. The only way to get a third party elected is to change your voting system, but that’s a process that takes years, decades even. It’s really not as easy as wasting a vote with a third party, it takes a lot more effort. And the only way to start or continue that process right now is to vote Biden because if Trump wins you might not even get another election to vote in.

And Trump has a good chance of winning because the republicans aren’t having such discussions. They know what to do, and come election day they’ll all march in and do their job, like they do every time. Remember that he only won last time because people like you felt icky about voting for Clinton.

If you allow me a moment of catharsis, I’ll just add that if you Americans once again subject the world to more Trump insanity, I really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones…

I believe this is about air pollution, as in the dirty kind, not co2.

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.

People like to interpret things with a modern lense. The translation of his job title might be carpenter, and people then go “ok, what does a carpenter do nowadays - builds chairs and tables, right”. But the word being translated is more aking to “builder”, a construction carpenter, a mason, something along those lines.
