How much is it compared to private jets?

AA5B ,

Private jets only have a handful of nuts

visnae , in [OC] Seven jurors have been selected (so far) for the Donald Trump "hush-money" trial. This is where those seven jurors get their news.

That one Juror that is watching all of them should really be up to date on the subject. 🤣

I’m not used to seeing my state (NJ) on a discussion about tax where it’s painted in a positive light. I know my taxes are high but I can thankfully afford it

Coffee surprised me. I thought it had a fairly low impact overall. Interesting...

Linssiili ,

Well, one cup of coffee tends to use 7 grams of coffee beans. That has the same emissions as 5 grams of lamb.

rbn ,

Which means drinking two cups of coffee a day still makes up for around 4 kg of lamb meat per year.

That is one beautiful graph, damn

Vub OP , in Web browser privacy score - lower is better

People seem to really misunderstand this post. ONE TEST (POINT) IS NOT EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE TO ALL OTHER TESTS. I ask you to read the description and the information on privacytests.org before you vote or comment. If my description is not clear enough, please let me know how I can improve it to make it understandable (I am not a native English speaker).

It's not a "Brave ad", geez... I am a strong proponent of Firefox.

If anyone have any sources on the website being a bad source, please send me those. The tests are very reliable, you just need to understand the data points.

anguo ,

If one point is not equal to another, why count the number of points? Why make a graph if not to show data in a meaningful way?

Vub OP ,

I still think it it interesting to see that for example Librewolf gets a very low score in total and Chrome a very high one. I feel it does show something about all browsers, even though it is not perfect.

Here's how interacted with this post:

  • Title told me that "lower is better". Assumption: it's introducing the graph, I should look at it
  • Graph shows from left to right the best browsers for privacy. Assumption: they are the best for privacy, the title told me so

Then I read the description. But I'm a data analyst, I'm used to look at the details. Most people do not. They want quick "tell me what's happening". It's something you accept if you work in this field, the best DAs can tell their stories in just a few graphs.

Tip: assume that people won't read anything. They will just look at the graph. If each point is not equal, then your graph needs to show it. Looking at the source really quick, I maybe would've done a graph that shows points per category. It would need some work to look good and not cluttered, but that way you can let the viewer decide for themselves what they consider important and look at the points that matter to them.

Take this as constructive criticism and not as a "gotcha", I fall for this trap every once in a while too. Try to not be frustrated, it's just how it is. Next time you'll do a better job at passing your message

Vub OP ,

Thank you for your comment, you make some very good points and I appreciate it.

How much of an overlap is there between milk, cheese, and beef? They're all coming from cows, but are they being calculated separately here? There are also gelatin and leather and other non-food products that come from cows. If there is a way to reduce that methane output, then it would be a lot more reasonable and it seems possible since it's impacted greatly by diet.

Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8281100/

From the article:

Meat production from dairy cows is a significant component of beef production, accounting for almost 10% of U.S. commercial beef production.

10% isn't "hardly any overlap worth mentioning". Even if it was, it doesn't address the overlap between milk and cheese.

bl_r , in Politicians think a lot about their own interests and care little about the public

Representative democracy’s flaw is that representatives have little accountability. A bad actor has 2-6 years to do whatever they want. Enrich themselves, their friends, benefit a company that will give them an extremely cushy consultancy role when they leave the government, enact deeply unpopular laws, etc.

When you consider other things like the fact that representatives (at least in the us) are usually from a political class that has nothing in common with the working man, the fact they are almost never minoritized demographics, and they never see their constituents face to face until its time to hit the campaign trail, it’s no surprise they don’t value your interests until its time to demand your vote come November.

B-b-but, surely things so small or far away could never impact us!? (/s :-P)

kersploosh OP , in US energy generation by source in various regions
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

Tennesee/Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic: I never realized how much they generate from nuclear.

Central and Midwest: That wind sure does blow!

California and Texas: I love seeing the daily solar spikes, and the corresponding natural gas dips. I think the gray line going negative in California is energy storage being charged up during the daylight hours?

Northwest: Known for hydro! If you narrow in on just the Bonneville Power Administration sub-region (basically Washington/Oregon/Idaho) then it's much more pronounced, and hydro is something like 80% of the generated electricity.

Lojcs , (edited ) in Live 24/7 CO₂ emissions of electricity consumption

Those hourly price changes are wild. I feel like electricity doesn't cost 100x more at 9 am than what it costs at 10 am

Yondoza ,

Doesn't to you! It might to produce. Your bill is averaged.

This is why there is a market incentive to find cheap energy storage. If you can buy at 1x and store till it's 100x... Well...

When petrochemical companies get wrangled under control I'll start worrying about this penny ante BS.
