On a similar note, that’s something we seem to have lost with the move toward glass food storage. With plastic containers, there were always choices with a little rack at the bottom so something like a said can remain out of its drippings. But I haven’t seen anything similar for glass …. And containers big enough for a head of lettuce are heavy and expensive
That’s a tough. Normally I would hope there’d be an easy choice, but things have changed really quickly.
I don’t know much about real life in China but every time the current American administration violates human rights or represses science sacrifices our future to line their pockets or attack our friends and allies, it seems like I read about the Chinese government moving in the opposite direction. The direction of “good”, the direction the US always claimed to be. They seem to be making a lot of smart moves for their economic, technical and scientific future, and for larger influence as a global citizen. I have no way to evaluate the current level of repression but they’re at least saying alot of the right things
Sure, but solar panels are an end goal. Natural gas is at best an intermediary goal that also established new fossil fuel infrastructure, and may be much worse for the environment than expected, depending on methane leaks
The cynic in me says way too much of this is simply natural gas being less expensive, with no environmental motivation. And even worse that it doesn’t account for methane leaks
Just keep On, keeping on. One day at a time. Anything for the kids. Then catch up on sleep 20 years later.
My youngest is now at college so I can finally just chill. But I’m “lucky”, he’s been calling me a lot since no one else answers after midnight. Struggling to get up for work reminds me of the good old days of getting up for diaper changes
But the point of this video is whether the things you have control over make a significant difference.
You can if you just want the results but the value of a video like this is going over the process and the detail, so you know how much to trust it.
We just spend more and more time on our phones. I still charge every night. Each new phone I’ve gotten has had more battery life than the last but I also use the phone constantly, so it’s no more likely to last the day.
This is somewhat masked because my car has fast wireless charging. I just put my phone down and when I get somewhere my battery is topped off
While that seems obvious, I’ll disagree
That’s no longer true. As reporting quality continues to decline and headlines focus more and more on outrage clicks straying further and further from the content, all too many can now be answered with ”n/a”
I bet thats wrong, but I know ….
There’ve been usage changes
It’s stressful and ineffective. Why do that to myself?
It works much better to block marketing where possible, poison data where you can, scrub personal data from the internet. While the beast is too big too slay, a little effort makes it a lot easier to deal with
Reminds me I need to reset mine again. Big mistake to buy a “smart” air filter. I thought I was getting remote monitoring of air quality data, but I have something that makes too many assumptions about your home network so doesn’t work on mine, support that gave up, and a purifier that needs to be reset every couple weeks
It’s not the particular surface that people are concerned about, but more frequent cleaning of that surface might reduce overall dust settling everywhere
Idiots signed contracts that include minimum prisoners, and can’t live up to the deal? They deserve to be sued, and their legal counsel fired for malpractice. Who would be so foolish as to sign such a contract?
If you don’t like it, don’t use privatized prisons. They’re bad all around and the only difference is this time the consequences are on the agency with an idiot who signed a bad contract
If current “personalized ” advertising is any indication, the new ai ads will push
But it will never do something useful like advertise things you’re searching for
That would be the greatest day, when comedians mostly do jokes about dems. Imagine punch lines like “and the dem control all three branches”. Or we just love racist jokes, let’s do one about “the first dark skinned president since Obama, har har har”. And get a load of this one, it’s starts with appointing cabinet members for their expertise! What a maroon! And we’ll never get enough of “and then they passed universal healthcare and saved the environment”! LoL
It can’t be that simple since you’d always be identifiable to anyone who knows the trick
I wonder if there’s a technical limitation to the number of extensions. If a number can have six or seven digit extensions perhaps someone could allocate those randomly, with forwarding to your real number
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
