The Late Prof Sir McKay is the energy expert and unabashed realist.
His stark figures for renewables kinda puts a large hole in the realities behind them...he loved wind turbines, but said they were pointless.

Whoops

Hydroelectric dams emit a billion tonnes of greenhouse gases a year, study finds

 

[sayward]

I need a Hatchimal!!

Whoops

Whoops scientists have raised dam emission estimates by 25% allowing for more accurate carbon budgeting in the future?

I'd have said 'well done for checking things out thoroughly rather than relying on old assumptions' myself.


Either way, hydro's still very clean. The three gorges dam is the worlds largest energy generation facility and a massive success.

I'm at the boozeup of an associate professor being made a full professor. I'm drunk as fuck an double enjoying myself based on the fact @Job would not approve.

Somehow reassuring that once again the Amazon Black Friday sale is just crappy Chinese stuff that they haven't been able to shift over the year.

Its great if you want a cheapo battery pack for your phone, some crappy leather effect bags or "plated" jewellery. They should sell it out of a suitcase at Waterloo.

scary shit. cows emit the equivilent of about 5.5B tonnes. ban cows!

 

[Job]

That's exactly what the treehuggers want us to do

 

[Raven]

Dams taste disgusting too. Ban dams.

 

[TdC]

That's exactly what the treehuggers want us to do

unfortunately for petrolheads, cars are still worse than volcanos

As a society we eat too much meat anyway, so I've no problem with banning [some] cows.

I am happy for you to eat less cows. I want to keep eating the same amount of more cause i love cow

 

[Raven]

No we don't. we eat the exact amount we want to eat.

What we are lacking is an understanding of where that meat comes from and what goes into producing meat.

I can see some lawsuits coming with those.

How do we lack understanding around meat in any way? It's documented down to the very last atom and has been for a long time.

It's problem is that it's too damn cheap for the environmental cost.

The product doesnt reflect all the feed and water it consumes. Definately.

But while it is what it is atm consume to their fill people will.

Bullshit. I very much doubt most consumers have ever even visited a farm, let alone seen how the meat gets from one to their ready meal.

As for the environmental factors. Happy to put up with it if I can still eat as much meat as I personally wish to.

If that's all you're on about - what relevance is that? Who cares? It makes no difference and is utterly irrelevant to Tom's point.

 

[Raven]

What point would that be?

Edit, oh yeah. Lost the thread a little. Point still stands though, fuck it, ban cars or long distance commutes too then.

 

[old.Osy]

So yeah, not like it's news to anyone, but still a good summary.

I'm doing some statistical code challenges off of t'interpipes. Because I'm odd like that. Gosh, I'd forgotten how weak my math-fu really is. Translating formulae (in this case for Binomial Distribution) into java just kills me dead

Binomial Distribution -- from Wolfram MathWorld

 

[Job]

That is just bizarre..got into a conversation two days ago on reddit about the binomial theorem and someone posted the wolfram site; never seen it before

 

[TdC]

you've never seen the wolfram site? or binomial distributions? tbh I remember the wolfram site when it was just a text box you could put anything in and it would answer you. now it's a combination of encyclopedia, library and university.

SSDs are getting serious...though I'm sure windoze11 will slow it down.

This new Samsung SSD is waaaaay faster than yours
