Energy credits — what a bunch of vacuous rhetoric.

The reality is that it’s energy being taken away from the overall grid, requiring a larger grid and thus prolonging our dependence on non renewable energy while we build up renewable sources.

If we weren’t so wasteful with our energy we wouldn’t need as much of it and it’d be easier to go fully renewable.

Maybe it would’ve if governments taxed them properly and spent that money to save the planet

This feels like the dot com bubble all over again.

For real though, what happens if you don’t say the words?

[-] nikita@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Ikr. Though it’s largely dependent on the kind of work you’re doing, I find that for myself a 1 monitor setup is sufficient.

I feel like I was moving documents around too much when I had multiple. Or that it would make me lazy cause I didn’t bother closing something I was finished with.

That being said — widescreens are wear it’s at.

Can you elaborate or link to further reading?

I assumed methanol is the first to go because of its lower boiling point — 65 degrees compared to ethanol at 78

Dude ikr. You have to actively try to make methanol when you’re distilling, like only collecting the foreshots over and over.

And by that point I’d be super easy to tell it’s not regular alcohol because it will smell like nail polish remover and other volatile compounds.

Your comment was probably off handed but I just wanna clarify that muslims aren’t to blame for our oil addiction, rich people are

The amount of subsidies they need just to mimic a fraction of our power!

TIL. Thanks.

In Canada, the drinking age is 19 everywhere except Quebec where it’s 18, so in Ottawa 18 year olds just go across the river to buy liquor.

Comstruction:

If you want to build the best building you gotta know every detail about how it’s made, which you can only get close to by hiring competent consultants (i.e.: architects, engineers, etc) Because if you’re not specific about what you want, you can bet your ass you’re getting the cheapest version.
