why should individuals pay for their medical needs?

DIY Supermaterial Could Save You From Heatstroke: Salt based PCMs ( www.youtube.com )

A simple mix of two cheap salts, Sodium Sulfate and Table Salt (Sodium Chloride) dissolved in boiling water can create a really useful Phase Change Material that has a melting point of 18c (65f) which allows it to be recharged back into it's cooling state simply by putting it in a basement and can then be used as a cooling...

Energy wise, they last up to 60% as long as a block of ice in a plastic bag wrapped in a thin layer of foam so it doesn't frostbite you. The benefit is the ability to recharge them in the fridge or even in a cool place instead of the freezer.

also those hand warmers seem like they're bad because they're tiny not because their chemistry is flawed.

oh so this is the kind of stuff that turns on asexual people?

And that's why I love linux, to keep using old hardware ( cdn.masto.host )

Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own."

The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions.

In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2". 

The pie chart illustrates the following (from lowest emissions to highest):

- End of life treatment accounts for less than 1% of emissions
- Corporate facilities account for 2% of emissions
- Product transport accounts for 5% of emissions
- Usage accounts for 19% of emissions
- Production accounts for 74% of emissions

The original report from Apple is: "Environmental Responsibility Report: 2019 Progress Report, covering fiscal year 2018": https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Responsibility_Report_2019.pdf.

how about the emissions associated with time wasted waiting for device to do X, or time spent on trying the work around to Y not being supported?

benzene causes cancer right? I want to reduce it into a less hazardous form, by adding excess hydrogen.

Japan has car-supporting streets narrower than this and the residents have not much complaints, they just put one-way road signs and use smaller cars or bikes and everything just fits. Residents should've gotten a smaller car before moving in when they saw the size of the road.

at lead this one doesn't jam assuming axles are fixed in position

I thought that clothes already block UV rays by being optically opaque!

At that point you might as well just place an entire agrivoltaic system on your roof, although it requires significant structural support and you would be living underground.

The carbon dioxide reacts with water to decrease the pH. That sounds like it is an acid to me.

Fails to allow using the phone as a productivity tool, and fails to prevent the other computers in the room from being used to browse entertainment websites.

to be honest I'm still there, disappointed at the low quality of recent games and playing older video games instead.

but the cathode is where you apply a negative potential to make the current flow in the intended direction.

this is why

  • dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates are critical components in a meal because they cause satiety.
  • processed foods are a really really low quality source of food for lunch.

there's plenty of jews strongly against the invasion of Palestine by Israel. e.g. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/

I blame the sun. Dogs poop in the morning and evening when owners are not at work. The sun shines from the east and from the west during these hours. And I think they don't like facing the sun.

there's concepts like biorefinery where we take plastic and agricultural waste and put it into a heavily modified oil refinery and out comes biochar and some chemical feedstocks (e.g. ethylene) for making new virgin-grade plastic. Depending on the design it can be more carbon efficient than carbon capture, but in general these industries use a gigantic amount of energy while producing less plastic and much less gasoline/diesel than a normal oil refinery.

anothercatgirl ,

that's so interesting. I feel like we humans abuse the ability to choose nothing.

anothercatgirl ,

thank you so much for reposting the article text in the comments! it's so much more accessible (fewer taps) this way.

anothercatgirl ,

I'd rather do nothing useful and continue doomscrolling my Lemmy feed.

I agree it looks like very inconsistent pixel art like the artist used a non-pixel brush half of the time.

replace downvote with mark as read, it has the same effect I think.

nah not solar, the energy comes not from Sol the star, but from dead stars of past.

I thought they take advantage of the velocity of the charged ions to magnetically transfer power to electromagnetic coils around the reactor.

let's discuss in the comments!

is the thumbnail at all relevant?

at 99% I think you can see the clouds several km away turn dark from the shadow of the moon, might get a nice view of watching the shadow move along.

this is a very significant event and I think it can lead the way for other similar happenings at other factories.

Why Artificial Intelligence Must Be Stopped Now | Humanity has a narrow chance to stop a technological revolution whose unintended negative consequences will vastly outweigh any short-term benefits ( www.resilience.org )

In the early 20th century, people (notably in the United States) could conceivably have stopped the proliferation of automobiles by focusing on improving public transit, thereby saving enormous amounts of energy, avoiding billions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and preventing the loss of more than 40,000 lives in car...

we already have no moral capacity in the stock market, AI is just a faster stock market driven entirely by computation instead of investors trying to maximize capital gains.

secret reasons world well if your field of work is related to spying

The article title names three persons who I do not know. Considering I am unfamiliar with these persons or their names, should I be interested at all in this article?

lol obviously written by chatgpt they didn't even try to hide it

re: airships

maybe tiny houses and mobile homes can be moved via airship?

anothercatgirl ,

honestly I think I wanna write (2*pi) every time I need tau just to avoid confusing others. Maybe make it auto-subsitute or something. But many mechanical engineers have no idea why to use tau and use 2pi instead.

anothercatgirl ,

lots of mentions of fuel. What are we gonna do if treea go extinct and fossil fuels are banned?

anothercatgirl ,

large language model, e.g. Bing Copilot or Google Bard

woah, amazing observation, I wonder how we can avoid the problem?
