The Waterschap may decide to lower the water level. When that happens, the wooden poles are exposed to air. When wood comes in contact with oxygen, it will start to rot. The decay of the wooden foundation is why houses in Amsterdam built on wooden piles can lean to one side.

Wood rot only occurs if the water level is too low. Some of these poles have lasted 500 years.

Hint: photosynthesis

• Does timber contain carbon? Yes
• Does concrete emit carbon? Yes
• Where did the carbon in the timber come from? 🪿🪿🪿

The article talks about how moving to renewables is better than staying with fossil, which is true. It is also true that we need fossil sources for things that don’t have an alternative (yet, like steel production) It is also true that to keep the price of more expensive cleaner option viable carbon credits help

Governments should enforcement carbon credits for polluters, then we can see it as a carbon tax instead of a greenwashing advertisement, but until then:

Go to your local representative and ask what they are doing to offset emissions of road upkeep, busses & overall infrastructural fossil dependency!

• Adding trees help in local health and biodiversity
• Wood can replace concrete in building projects

Please tell me how plants aren’t carbon sinks

Not only that but plants also improve (feed) the amount of life in the ground (remember life = carbon)

It is not a balance but a net gain in carbon sequestered.

I’m confused about this idea that cdr isn’t possible today.

Shouldn’t that be a leek?

Without Linus calling out Cristopher for stopping any integration of Rust in the kernel, with his primary reason being “I don’t like it”, IMO rust for Linux is a dead meme.

While Linus has approved to adding a rust language, actions speak louder than words.

I don’t understand why they didn’t opt for the GPL instead
