2024 resolution. Make 2023 peak oil

5·2 years agoUnless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.
Another area where electric wins is smoking. My electric smoker is much easier to use and produces superior results to using charcoal. A really nice electric smoker can be purchased for a few hundred dollars. The electricity it uses is cheaper than charcoal too.
I know how a lot of people here feel about eating meat at all, but considering the current situation, anything that is better buys time to make even bigger cuts.
Beef is a big culprit with emissions, and I’ll tell you what, a well smoked humble and cheap chicken drumstick will taste amazing.
ETA: It isn’t just the emissions from burning the charcoal that are saved. It is also the emissions producing and transporting the charcoal to their usage point. High voltage AC is pretty hard to beat in efficient transport of energy.
Government with cancellation of $6b of projects unless they got appropriate legislation.
I’m a yank, so I might be talking out of the wrong hole here. That sounds like an empty threat. If those projects are in their interest, they will do them. Assume corporations will act in their own interest, unless they are organized like Facebook and their management is immune. Otherwise, less principled institutional and large share holders will replace them.

ETA for the down voters:
4·2 years agoWhy would an autistic person need an anti psychotic? I’m not an MD, but that just doesn’t make much sense? Also, in this case, making it worse, I would think this reaction would be in his medical records that they should have reviewed…
Can we stop down voting articles that don’t align with the community views as long as they are relevant?
We need to understand the world and the perspectives in it. Knowing how others thinks is at least useful in persuading them.
Echo chambers are useless.
Maybe, maybe not. You get what you measure. Bad incentives are a major contributor to the corruption that ultimately led to the downfall of the USSR.
Good policy and incentives make the difference. Capitalism and communism aren’t all that different. In practice, they are still largely hierarchical with a few controlling things.
Maybe. It really depends on your location. Biking on the only road out of my neighborhood would be all but suicide because there is no shoulder, it is high traffic, and places without enough forward visibility for cars to react in some places. It isn’t due to lack of demand. I see plenty of people on bicycles in areas where it is reasonably safe to do som In other places I have lived, I agree with you.
I really hate blanket generalizations like:
There is risk, but it’s still a lot lower than the risk associated with inactivity.
That also assumes that the person is inactive otherwise. Some people make an effort to exercise, others have physically demanding jobs. It also assumes the level of risk where it will vary quite a bit depending on location.
161·2 years agoWhich is completely irrelevant to the legitimacy of chiropractic.
When is the last time you went to a hospital and saw a chiropractic department? When was the last time you went to a hospital and saw an orthopedics department? I have never had an MD recommend I see a chiropractor, but I have been sent to an orthopedist who sent me to PT. It worked.
I agree. Carbon capture should be used to offset really hard to replace uses of fossil fuels, like aircraft.
By 2024 could mean by the start of 2024. Pedantics can be annoying, but clarity is important, as it makes things hard to misinterpret or manipulate.
That is less than 30 days away. I’m not sure how you expect that to happen? A realistic goal would be to have a global decline in coal usage by 2025.
Not sure why this is getting down voted? It is a relevant post, regardless of opinions on AI.
Wastewater? Maybe get a job at your local plant or office? They need all sorts of people: customer service, maintenance, engineers, automotive, chemists, IT, etc. The alternative is dumping raw sewage in water ways. They sometimes have apprenticeship programs.
ETA: Best job security in the world. People aren’t going to stop shitting anytime soon. People don’t want rivers of shit. So…
ETA2: I know you said you are coming in unskilled, but a lot of better places to work will pay for education if you wanted to go from say customer service to engineering or something.
