On the rare occasion I have to wear a dress shirt for work, I'm making sure it's as wrinkled as possible. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of the execs, it gives the impression that you don't work hard. I think it'll continue bubbling up in the same way not wearing a tie and not having curtails did.

For the lazy US has 3.5x more guns than Finland and 35x more firearm homicides (which, not to nitpick, is not necessarily the same as a firearm death). If us has a 10x reduction in firearm homicides to be more in line with their gun ownership they would go from being ranked 23rd (as of 2019) to 42nd or so, going below countries like Canada (although Canada's gun crime is strongly linked with the us), new Zealand and Sweden.

I'll also point out though that Finland has stricter gun laws than the states, relavent to this post they have a minimum age of 20 to buy firearms. They need licenses and a justification to carry them around, and there are fairly strict storage rules.

yeah but that kiddie pool is being rented out for 1500/mo

it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term.

Seems like it's pretty important we not burn through our finite reserves of it if we can help it. I'm not saying we should reach zero nuclear, but I don't think we should be relying on it too much either.

I think they might be talking about the taste of blood of a fresh or infected piercing. Blood tastes like keys.

Cynically, there's a lot of incentive at every level to cut corners and kick things down the road to when it's different people's problem, But otoh things can go fast when sufficiently motivated. Hope it all works out.

You may appreciate "miracle workers" the first season is set in modern times (kinda) but each other season is set in a different historical setting.

That's a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

I don't think that's weird, twitch really doesn't want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.

If your on windows (yeah yeah windows bad) I would suggest Windows Power tools. It's developed by windows as a 3rd party tool so it's relatively easy to get approval to have it installed if you need it. and it comes with many other useful tools besides the always on stuff

I would suggest growing your own mushrooms as the safest way to be sure they aren't tainted, it's pretty easy (the hardest part is keeping things sterile) and you can grow quite a bit at once in a small footprint. In my jurisdiction it's not even illegal so long as you destroy the final product upon maturity.

If you take co2 and convert it to methane and then release that methane you are increasing the impact of that co2 by 6x.

A perfect Electrolysis reaction takes about 39kwh to produce 1kg of hydrogen that if burned at 100% efficiency would yield 33kwh of power. More realistically it takes 50-60kwh to produce 1kg that is burned to produce ~25kwh of usable energy.

I'm not too sure about converting hydrogen to methane but that will have energy overhead as well, and then you have to deal with the fact that 6% of natural gas production today is leaked into the air, which both further hurts the efficiency of synthesizing it and also has a significant climate impact.

I think it willl almost always be cheaper to just provide electricity directly except in cases where energy density is far more important than efficiency, which is not the case for stationary homes.
