Yes but concrete is required. It is literally the foundation of modern civilization. It is the second most used substance on the planet after water. Without it we would have to do away with things like roads, power plants (green and carbon emitting), housing, water treatment and waste treatment plants, erosion control and seawalls, and most production facilities for all of our day to day goods and essentials.

The industry is making steps to reduce its up front carbon cost and inrease captured carbon in the concrete, but it is slow moving as big changes can cause major problems with infrastructure. Noone wants their hospital falling down because they used a new mix design that hasn't been thoroughly tested and tried.

We dont work without concrete, but i'm pretty sure we do work without bitcoin.

If your just looking at fun carbon emitting facts though, then aluminum smelting is another huge number like 4% globally. Concrete is like 7% globally, and HVAC is like 12%.

O shit is was a layer on the radar. Tdil

How do you get forecast on my radar, only has radar for me.

Can't find a forecast as good as wunderground and can't find a radar as good as myradar. They live side by side on my phone

The dark forest of the Internet is driving this migration of human Internet traffic. It is not a fault but rather a result.

Who could think to develope this scenic mountain range into an industrial complex. It wouldn't be economical to establish utility and transportation infrastructure, let alone the private cost for each facility and the cost of exporting goods. It mkght be eligible for strip mining since you can pop the top and the shit falls right into the hopper while those mountain springs carry all the tailings away for you (see appalachia).

It is much easier to establish an industrial park in a level area, preferable near navigable water. Enter wetlands and low lying coastal forests. Avatar was dead on with this. They make for the most economical places to clear/drain, pave over and exploit. Distance to the port is a major factor in profit margins and long term savings can overcome development costs in shit areas (see New Orleans). Can't stop the work.

The forest grows out, gets fat with wood and brush and stuff, then it all dies to a fire or whatever. Something new always rises, and I'm excited for the new growth

Google and netflix and stuff will eventually push people away and people will find something new to do with their time.

Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). You get a bit of range straight ev, usually like 30 miles, then it switches over to traditional hybrid with gas engine. It's the best of both worlds or the worst of both worlds depending on perspective.

Pepe who like them: You get an around town ev that is also a hybrid for roadtrips that can refill at gas stations and charge overnight on any old traditional wall plug. You save a pile of money on gas and can get a solid tax credit on the purchase.

Pepe who dislike them: You have to go to the gas station and you have to plug it in. You have maintenance of both powertrain systems which can be more expensive as it requires certified technicians to work with the higher voltage. Registration costs a ton. Their typically packed into traditional IC models (like an og jeep) making it pretty dense under the hood and the body is less efficient than a real high mpg IC car or straight EV.

I personally like them, but have been weary of them since we run our vehicles till the wheels fall off at 250,000 miles after 10 years and don't know what the extended maintenance looks like for them.

Americans buy crossovers, so they make ot look like a crossover. Small is efficient, so Americans get the beans

So roughly how many pounds per cubic banana

There's a college in Chicago, i think it's IIT maybe, that used aerial photography to map out the student cow paths, then they redid all the sidewalks to incorporate those paths.

Edit: they ended up adding a building in a grassy area and maintained all the hall/walkways of the building in line with the sidewalks/cowpaths. Kinda neat.

Dylon spits a hot fiya, man

Whats your take on temu

One answer could be to croudsource it. A mesh network of generative and storage nodes, like someone with solar and a home battery, but large enough to backfeed as needed. Perhaps on an hoa/neighborhood scale. If it could be incentivizes and achieved without undercutting the grid then it could eliminate the need for peaker plants

Lol i almost think he's a bot from that.

They could probably kill a bunch of nano walruses

Lol i love how he called it X .com way back then and they renamed it to paypal.

That's akin to our rates, im about 13c/kwh delivered. I use about 1.2 to 1.5 mwh per month (with natural gas furnace and wood stove), so 2.50$/kwh would make me shut my house off at the breaker and call it camping.

Good point, for aome reason i was thinking more off-grid than load balancing economics. The battery would probably help lower power by filling when power is cheap and supplying when the rates spike throughout the day

At 50 bucks a day it would pay for itself pretty quickly. Not sure what prices are by you but here you can get a brand new stove with auto-temp and a catalytic converter and everything installed for 10k to 12k, or get a decent used stove and have someone install it for 5k +-

Solar is quite poor in Northern winters. Wind + solar + heat would be a better bet, but the battery required to heat your house for more than a day with low winds would be prohibitively expensive unless you added geothermal to the mix like a geothermal heatpump which is also very expensive. Betweem the gear, battery, geothermal, all installed your probably in the 80k$ range or more. A wood stove would be the best bet

"says she was thrown off a flight to Jamaica after he offered"

Is this written by ai, or an honest typo, or what.

Good distinction. I imagine anyone typing into a google search bar with an android device nearby could have their keyboard mapped though, if Google ever wanted to do such a thing.
