> pasta sauces made with canned tomato base taste so much better than pasta sauce from scratch That's a matter of taste, to say the least. You could probably come up with all sorts of metrics that show that canned tomatoes have more

Oops, mixed up coal and total fossil fuel for energy generation which is a big difference.

I'll be honest, I haven't bothered to double check it, but it may be that coal is just that dirty.

The Economist wrote a few months back that an EV in Japan actually produces more carbon per mile than an ICE because almost all of their energy comes from coal plants. I'm not sure if America has a radically different coal plant design

People have been having a lot less sex for a while now. I think technology is largely to blame, too. We're so accustomed to things being served up for us that the ability to function outside that specific setting has atrophied. We&#x27

Thank you, I hadn't heard about this.

I've always done 20% because it's easy to do in my head. Nowadays it's a low tip for those tip prompts and I punch it in manually if I tip at all. When I delivered food my tip spread was funny. Many people wouldn't tip a

Too bad I can't pick up any silphium or liquamen at the grocery store. Silphium is thought to be extinct and the exact taste and method for producing liquamen is still debated -- though we know it was some sort of fish sauce.

Oh god this gives me flashbacks. I never knew how bad corruption was on home computers until I started using git annex on a multi-terabyte file collection. No matter which computer or disk I used, it would inevitably happen. Then I started

Interest rates go up, money is harder to come by, people are building less since they can't get a loan, contractors find other work until construction picks back up.

I'm not a fan of animations myself, though I think it could be somewhat useful with a tiling WM to help maintain (for lack if a better word) your orientation. Sometimes a new window will open and move the other windows around and get r

There are quite a few places in densely forested areas. But it's not just a matter of uptime (which is an issue), but of capacity. If you live 50-100 miles out of town in a small community, the community can't afford to upgrade th

A blind tax on ICE would be regressive as hell. You'll be punishing people who can't afford an electric or hybrid which would in turn reduce their employment opportunities, either by taxing the fuel at a higher rate or by making t

I kind of figured it was the other way around.

Thank you. My local practioners are terrible and border on being unethical.

>concierge doc Can you please elaborate? I need something like this and I'm willing and able to pay for it. How would I get started finding one?

That would work great in the summer if the community has space and exposure. Winter in a mountain valley, not so much.

I probably didn't use the best technique for melting tbh, it was filling a stock pot and popping it on the stove, then adding more snow as it melted.

I must be mistaken, I swore I heard about this getting passed on OPB about 6 months ago to phase them out in the next decade.

I agree, but it's a thorny political problem. Nobody wants to pay for burying the lines, even after above ground lines caused one of the biggest fires in state history. Rural communities can't afford it, and the county or state wo

edit: I was mistaken, OR still hasn't done this, but there's been a big push for it in the past year or two and it's still a dumb idea. They've done this in Oregon to keep carbon emissions down which is a huge mistake IM

Yeah but not everybody at Woodstock was recording everything that they and everyone around them did. Almost every single citizen is now equipped with a surveillance device at all hours of their life, and they have incentive to use them and

A slight tangent, but it's funny how everyday people are on the hook for legal consequences, even when legal professionals can't agree which laws apply, or even what they mean.

This post got me wondering, and I hope somebody in here can inform me. Wasn't Zen one of the only schools that wasn't wiped out in Japan because they didn't place so much emphasis on the warrior priest? I seem to recall some

If you read the wiki of the Carrington event, telegraph operators were getting electrocuted and the pylons were throwing sparks because of the EM induction. I could be wrong, but this doesn't sound like an event the grid or consumer el

Another Carrington event would likely be catastrophic. Telegraph operators were talking to each other with the power sources disconnected. Everyone over the world experienced it. Can you imagine what would happen to our very delicate and un

The implication of your comment is that Bitcoin is developed in part by someone who acts like an idiot.
