From the same business geniuses that though that having you pay a fee to be allowed to pick a seat next to your other family members in an airplane was a good idea…

Won’t they just let this guy go bankrupt already?

Getting Arafat, Rabin and Peres to agree on something was well worth the prize…but I agree that starting to remove them would be opening a can of worms. It was just an attempt to reclaim some legitimacy for the prize, particularly if you work against the award after getting it.

Let me repeat: the prize should never have been given to Obama in first place, this is just doing the right thing anyway, not because he asked. And remove Kissinger’s and Aung San Suu Kyi too.

I see there is a broader reason: without colonial empires and without a technological or demographic advantage, we are in decline. The only thing going for Europe is the progressiveness and open societies, which allowed us to patch up demography with migrants, but even that is being attacked and lost.

Europe is going back to being irrelevant in global terms, which means economic decline and economic decline always leads to political instability and crazy people taking over with stupid solutions, but they always fail, because there isn’t enough growth to make people happy.

Best that can be done is slow the decline and spread the sacrifices with left policies, but inevitably incumbents will get punished and we get back to megalomaniac miracle cures that set us back again.

Maybe they could remove it from Obama (for not doing anything to earn it, before or after) so the annoying orange will finally be happy and do something for the allies for once.

“Made of” can mean “composed of” or “constructed from”. This is the latter:

Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.

The entire process releases zero greenhouse gases, uses no farmland to feed cows, and despite its industrial appearance, has a significantly smaller footprint.

“In addition to the carbon footprint being much lower for a process like this, right, the land footprint is, like, a thousand times lower than what you need in traditional agriculture,”

Good example of how choice of words can mislead, particularly when intentional.

cost :/ and low energy conversion efficiency. Whereas expensive novelty edibles may have a high price, fuels, not so much.

Isn’t margarine hydrogenated oil? These guys made the oil, apparently.

lol, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Haha, was it the endless cliff next to the gun island? Been there lmao

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.

Subnautica…when I was so immersed that I went too deep…didn’t have enough time to return to the surface to breathe…and then looked up in anguish and saw that dreaded refraction “circle” hundreds of meters above you… THE DEEP HAS YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE

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 :)

No, they mean the Haber process that requires energy-intensive (can mass-solar do it?) hydrogen to convert nitrogen back into ammonia.

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
