The magnitude of negative responses to this comment is very encouraging. Not because I agree with my sibling comments, but because I strongly agree with the parent, making me think my org and I are much earlier than I thought. :)

This isn’t really an evaluation of the company, just explaining how they had to use different financing approaches as they grew and derisked their technology (which makes sense). Compared to some other new approaches for getting clean base

Most people here would be good homeschooling parents. This site doesn’t represent the world at large. I was personally homeschooled, and while I ended up with a positive outcome, I cannot say the same thing for any of my peers (other kids I

This is also a problem for accountants, trying to do “account reconciliation” to determine which transactions contribute to a given balance. I made a simple tool that does this client-side for an accountant friend a while ago: https:/

>> You don't repeatedly recompress along the pipeline length Yes, you do. That is the primary purpose of transmission compressor stations. You may just lose a few psi per mile or something, but over the course of 100s of miles..

This is factually incorrect and has the direction of causality wrong. Enclosed combustors are _more_ efficient than flares, and can be tested to show that they achieve complete combustion of methane (unlike flares, which do not combust all

speaking from the sample size of all the other kids i knew in homeschooling groups, the modal outcome (for my 90s / early aughts cohort) is bad.

Emporia, KS. Home of a small college and a few large obscure athletic events (Unbound Gravel and disc golf nationals). Kansas is also a very reasonable state, politically, compared to much of the midwest. Less than two hours from decent siz

That all said, these are potential positive consequences, observed in retrospect, from what was an extended adverse and painful event. I have been very fortunate with my outcome, but nearly all of my friends and family members who were home

Great question. I think the most noticeable impact on my personality is a strong fear of being alone, which has led to me sometimes prioritizing my relationships over personal achievements. I regretted this impulse when I was younger, but I

+1 to this. I was homeschooled K-8, and the loneliness I experienced then puts a significant strain on my relationship with my parents to this day. I think I agree with the parent comment when I say that homeschooling seems to be looking fo

I worked a 9/80 for years. It was awesome. I think the trick to this working well is for everyone to get the same Friday off. Companies who didn't do that saw serious productivity hits.

I don't think this exists on a small scale yet. On industrial scales, CO2 is commonly removed with reusable scrubber chemicals, referred to as a group as amines. The amine acts as a CO2 solvent, removing the CO2 from the bulk gas. The

Hey folks, I built this NPV calculator in Python a couple years back, before I bought my first house. Here it is again, rewritten it in React/Recharts. Let me know if its helpful and if you have any feedback!
