Sounds like this “vegan cooking” community is dead, if all the replies I get are “cooking is for minimum wage and unemployed people”. lol
Store bought soy milk is really overpriced (margins of at least 50%), the typical price gouging that makes vegan products a luxury instead of the staple they should be :(
Besides, I want to find out whether homemade does have that special taste.
Makes sense I didn’t get the job, I only vaguely know the difference and it was mostly theoretical stuff like CI/CD, but those recruiters really wanted to throw me at random interviews to see if I’d stick :D
PS: sorry I offtopic’ed to recruiter-hating, gonna go find a community for that.
Asphalt used on road surfaces are byproducts from fossil fuel. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuel to combat climate change, are there any good alternatives for road surfaces? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a viable replacement of asphalt in the works, or even a plan to replace it in any...
It’s about return on energy. Fossil fuels return 20x what you invest it’s essentially free energy.
(edit: roughly, this translates to how many people are free to do things with the work of one, if every person lives alone, it’s 1, if each person has a personal slave/robot, it’s around 2, we want to stay well above 2. Modern society has 19 people doing all sorts of non-survival things for each one farming and collecting resources because fossil is so “cheap”)
Renewables can reach 5-10 at best, which is not so bad (medieval was around 1.3, pre-industrial with slavery was around 1.8), so you can do it, but it will have to reshape society, which will be fine, if we know what we’re doing or can at least imagine what we are aiming for to avoid disappointment. It’s hard to be utopian going backwards.
This whole debate started with carbon footprints and carbon pricong, because I believe that creating a market can help the less virtuous among us to use their greed to help solve the problem of public consent in a consumerist society without devolving into a dictatorship.
But yea, let’s aim for that energy return of say… 7 and try to imagine what such a society would look like. A return to slower shipping by sail again…more solar boilers for all hot water…solar desalination…peak-solar hydrogen for fertilizers and airplanes…more compact cities with mass transit and bikes, lots of working from home, more fixing things DIY…a return from cities to the countryside and decentralisation would help, but only if those communities were more self-sustained and local, with 2x more power to farming, mining and wind/solar communities (meaning potentially smaller countries)…now I could describe all the potential setbacks of all of those points, but I won’t, because this is solarpunk and we need more imagining of what things are going to be like when we succeed…not so much the year 500 :)

Heya fellow raccoon, raccoon Bible is much better than the one compiled by Roman bishops in 325AD in Nicea e.g. “let there be trash for all” and “give to racoons what belongs to the raccoons” :D
maybe it needs a little curation, but once you’ve blocked the instances, communities and users that are personally annoying to you, it’s a fun and engaging place with the usual share of human noise. Maybe some people are happy to have reddit choosing what deserves to reach your eyes, I like to do it myself :)
Keep it in your hard drive and carry it with you, this was not a hard problem 20 years ago, but we’re being conditioned to regression in expectations and functionality. Better than yet another blockchain overkill and works offline.

If this works, it’s better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute and dilute the output brine.
True…otherwise it’s reverse hydro, which could be done with surplus renewables at peak times, but not at more than 10km… This is mostly aimed at coastal communities (and sustainable floating villages 😁)
…or you could say fuck it, go full Dutch and build wind turbines and reservoirs everywhere to get water to all crops and green deserts 😊.
GPUs from all six of the major suppliers are vulnerable to a newly discovered attack that allows malicious websites to read the usernames, passwords, and other sensitive visual data displayed by other websites, researchers have demonstrated in a paper published Tuesday....
Alright, how much is the patch going to impact performance?
As noted earlier, GPU.zip works only when the malicious attacker website is loaded into Chrome or Edge. The reason: For the attack to work, the browser must:
allow cross-origin iframes to be loaded with cookies
allow rendering SVG filters on iframes and delegate rendering tasks to the GPU

This is just the easiest step of the green transition: reduce costly energy imports through efficiency and it makes sense even without a green transition point of view. If even that can’t be done with public assent, there is no hope for anything beyond that in countries that buy cheap and/or export fossil fuels :/
Why doesn’t even the far right want to reduce dependence on fuel imports from other countries? I thought fascists were all for “autarky” and depending on nobody else…
But are they all dinossaur paper-based lawyers or just very focused on specific issues so they miss the bigger picture or are they actually advised by expert panels but meetings take too long…or nobody cares…or everyone is compromised by other interests…what?
Sure, any economy can experience deflation if you have more goods chasing the same amount of currency, but the point is that most economies usually print money, that causes inflation (moderately that mimics around 2% (approx. linear resource growth) and 4% (rent extraction). Interest rates influence market behaviour that causes inflation but do not determine inflation.
Ok, fine, I hadn’t considered that and it’s a factor. None of the demographically declining countries like Italy, Japan, Portugal is doing great in terms of growth…but they don’t have deflation either. You also have the productivity growth factor into account with automation (meaning each citizen produces more but also uses more resources)
I’d settle for Elon selling all his companies and taking a 50-year holiday on a private island quietly enjoying his 200 billion and we never hear from his stupid ass again.
We should have let him pilot his magic cave sub. That’s where this timeline fucked up :/ he would have died a tragic hero, not lived long enough to out himself as a wanker.
