I wonder if it would be worthwhile to colocate large greenhouses with datacenters. The exhaust temperatures seem compatible with hothouse growing. The heat would still end up in the atmosphere, but at least it could enable growth of fresh local produce first.
I believe I see a disc brake on the trailer wheel.
Yeah, black holes in media where they are depicted as a giant space vacuum cleaner is a big pet peave of mine. Unless you get really close, nothing is remarkable about the orbital mechanics of a black hole. The equivalent mass star would have burned you up at a much further distance than the gravity starts to become noticeably wonky.
It’s a shame that writers focus so much on the gravity and neglect accretion disks and astrophysical jets which do extend large distances and are visually stunning as well.
They’ll have a unique Pollock inspired piece in no time.
The problem isn’t methane production, it’s excessive soluble proteins producing a thick foam that prevents the methane from being expelled through the esophagus. Any feed produces large amounts of gas in grazing animals. What changes is the animals ability to safely vent the gas.

Sometimes animals escape their enclosures and mis-feed themselves. The couple times I’ve witnessed this were the result of cows helping themselves to a field of alfalfa. Alfalfa is good as a component of a silage mix but is too rich to be consumed fresh on its own. But cows love alfalfa and are good at finding weaknesses in fencing.
Does your household use that much tomato goods through the year? Do you sell/ give away a good portion of that?
This article is based on a preprint paper that hasn’t been peer reviewed yet.
Mercury vapor would be really bad to have in a fusion plasma. It would drastically increase energy loss and would make maintaining the plasma difficult.
What Falkland Islands are we talking about?
I see you’ve already been told what 4’33" is but I thought I would point out that we are in complete agreement.
4’33" by John Cage would be an acceptable addition to this playlist.
Isn’t this a textbook candidate for a class action suit?
Radon should be yellow. You don’t want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it’s still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.
I know they don’t like to read long bills, but maybe one of their interns can read Matthew 6:1-8 to them.
This an assembly specifically designed to spread out heat, applying heat to the pipes will just make the whole thing hot. If you did take a giant blowtorch to it and got it hot enough to soften the pipes, you’d probably dry out the pipes (potentially explosively).
Heat pipes are cold worked in the factory. The metals chosen are ductile. Adding lots of heat will only add to the problems.
I tried brass quick connect hose fittings but the ball bearings kept denting the brass and the fit got worse and worse.
I replaced them with some stainless steel quick connect fittings I found on ebay from a power washer supply place. They have held up much better. The main drawbacks are cost and the seal is non standard so you would need to stock up spares/ hope they keep selling them.
Sure, but it’s normalized to kgs of product. With two lattes a day, 2kg of coffee lasts me more than 2 months. 2kgs per person of beef would last many households less than a week.
If you were to normalize to average daily consumption, coffee and chocolate would be significantly lower ranked. It’s ok to keep some indulgences while focusing on higher impact reductions.
The ridges of the weave in my pants sometimes produces a vibration that is similar frequency and intensity as my phone vibrate. It totally triggers the check the phone reflex even if it happens while my phone is in my hand.
You’re right those are not synonymous terms. I was sloppy with my word choice.
