Your comment reminded me of a restaurant we frequented growing up https://www.waysiderestaurant.com/history/ . Founded in 1918 and still operating today!

Love this idea! I’d love to be able to include one photo a day. In Vermont there’s a very popular social network called Front Porch Forum that collects posts and only issues them once a day, it seems like adding time delays and eliminating

Vermont as well. Really noticeable when you drive on the highway, much more relaxing and scenic.

From the outside this seems obvious and perplexing why it is being done anyway.

One thing that has been interesting to me owning an EV for about a year now is how charging and refueling create different needs. With an EV I rarely need to charge when out and about, because I leave every morning at 100% charge. Those fe

I don't knows where everyone is picking up this talking point, but it's really bullshit. The agreement was weak and not a treaty because the Republicans in the Senate would not have ratified a treaty, just as they failed to ratify

I'm going to go with a prolonged period of worldwide cooling? Lab tests that show CO2 is not a greenhouse gas? Isotope concentrations that show increasing CO2 is not coming from anthropomorphic causes? Evidence that the glaciers are me

Through happenstance I rode an bike with electric pedal assist a couple years ago, thinking that electric bikes were not for me, but why not try. I was instantly hooked, the high-quality pedal assists feel "magical", like you are

I expect you're receiving downvotes (not from me) because you're introducing a strawman argument. The issue under investigation is if there was collusion between members of Trump's campaign and foreign operatives to, e.g. tim

Imagine instead of murder the information was less extreme, like that you know that I once got a DUI 10 years ago, while your friend committed murder last year and is now being blackmailed for that fact. If both the friend and I are up to b

How "clean" is taking off the top of a mountain for coal? Compare the costs of restoring a mountain after we tear it down, extract the coal and burn it into the atmosphere. How much will that cost? What about moving cities inland?

So, we should do less? The first 1% is the hardest, the next 1% slightly easier, by the time it gets to 10% probably 80% of the hard challenges will be overcome. Successful adoption curves always look like hockeysticks, which means a slow e

What is an optimistic timeline from here? When could this be energy positive / used commercially?

So our options are having civilization collapse, clean up all corruption everywhere before trying anything, or trying something that "some research" says might be ineffective? Seems like that's a pretty easy choice.

Well, there are a couple engineers currently working on things which are not sustainability/stability engineering.

What evidence would convince you it is a large problem? Massive dieoff of coral reefs worldwide? A cruise ship from Alaska to New York?

This strikes me much like a personal hypothesis that smoking is not harmful. It's a fine theory to have in your own home, but when you apply to your theory next to a daycare folks will be more upset. There's the skeptical profess
