As an actual anarcho communist, I know that the only difference between the CIA and your local neighborhood tankie is that the tankie has no access to power, large sums of money, or the ability to achieve violence.

This is great, it reminds me of a Volts podcast episode about a company that uses large sheets of Limestone to do the same. But if this is really that much more efficient, then we have a real solution on our hands

I broke up with my fiance today, it was was the most painful thing I've ever done

To me, this is the kind of limitation that we should innovate away from. Computers can be so personalized and we should let the sky be the limit

That thing looks sick! This is the kind of innovation I want out of the tech industry

 

Okay so I don't have Linux, i honestly don't know much about it. But I have dreamed for a while now of a future in which I could use 2 MMO gaming mice to bring my computer usage to the next level. Now I don't think that most computers would know how to handle 2 mice, and I don't think a single game would either, but if there is any that could, it has to be a Linux right? Is that even theoretically possible? Do you think we could ever have that future?

It was 10 years into playing Skyrim on my 4th medium of playing it that learned the courier wasn't supposed to be naked. I thought it was a comment on his poverty or something

Okay? Don't blame the ev, this is a strange framing to use

I'm starting to think I would be happier in a different relationship than I am in. Not with anyone in particular, we just fight a lot and maybe it's time to stop

You would likely start from the center of your galaxy, then pick a culturally relevant star near the outskirts, in our case Sol, and call that, well, something (Solbound?) Then work your right angles from there. You could pick other cultural stars in the other directions too.

Most galaxies are pretty flat, so you'd probably have to reference a conveniently positioned other galaxy for your up and down.

I wear a baseball style cap every day to protect my long hair during my day job in the HVAC industry. I stuff it up in there

Idk, words are tools as well. Right now it's being used to wake people up to the fact that republican policies are very invasive, harmful, and unpopular. I get being uncomfortable, but this is just language being language. And it's overall going to be beneficial.

Seems like this map accurately displays the poles at the expense of the continents

 

Passive homes (a building designed for minimum losses on heating and cooling) are cheaper and easier to construct than you might think. In fact, it's nearly the default code in Massachusetts.

 

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. Equipped to move up to 6 passengers or 2 pilots and 3 pallets, its a small yet versatile tool. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the aircraft, much like the engine of a traditional aircraft, however, future batteries could feature improvements, meaning the vehicle gets better over time. The redundancy that Electric motors allow more easily than mechanical motors means this aircraft is far safer than anything else in the air.

This boston company has developed a new process to manufacture steel using zero carbon dioxide and a whole lot of electricity

 

The take that struck me the most came towards the end. And it's that when you electrify, not only are you not burning fossil fuels to work your stove, but you're also not burning fossil fuels to power the drilling equipment, to ship the crude oil, to refine it, to pump it to your stove.

A large portion of our critical energy demand is just getting fossil fuel energy to its point of use, so small amounts of electrification and efficiency improvements at point of use have large impacts on the upstream emissions

 

David Roberts interviews a representative from the company that is making effective ground source heat pumps for large buildings. How they do it, ensure efficiency, and look to scale up the operation

 

15 minute cities are great for a number of reasons, but are they really a good climate policy? David Roberts discusses with researchers Heather House and Rushad Nanavatty

 

By entering some information about your home and appliances, they generate a basic plan for your next upgrades, including price estimates, available rebates, and estimated energy savings. Takes like 5 minutes, 10 minutes if you want to read all the details.
