  • Come on, don't give them objectively terrible advice.

  • Wyoming today has the highest CO2 per capita production

    Sounds like that's largely because they are the top coal producing state (40% of US coal). In 2023, 71% of power generation was from coal. 23% was from renewables, with about 90% of that coming from wind. But yeah, coal's just going to produce a lot more CO2, even compared to other fossil fuels.

  • And the Tories were coming in for criticism for it. They basically did a run around the courts, which previously told them in no uncertain terms that Rwanda did not qualify as a safe country for asylum seekers.

  • It's not included in the final build artifact. It's a Gradle plugin.

  • if Trump is re-elected this and the other federal case will magically disappear.

    Gettin' Bibi vibes.

  • Are we replacing infrastructure or are we just adding capacity?

    They are ultimately going to wind up as one and the same. We need to add more capacity before we can rid ourselves entirely of fossil fuel. Using grid power for things like HVAC, cooking, and electric vehicles means those devices get more CO2 efficient as the grid generation gets more efficient.

    What is this number if you exclude China?

    According to this source, largely unchanged. China's a touch above the average, but relies heavily on fossil fuel, with a large share of that being very dirty coal. Its campaign to install renewables is encouraging, though.

  • maybe she respected your input on the way the task got done

    This is when I knew I was starting to really learn how to do my current job, when people came to me with questions instead of the other way around. It took about two years, but it was a nice shift.

  • Why do you list these three, they didn't govern under democracies? Saddam wasn't operating under a democracy at all, besides a couple of fake elections. Gaddafi had some elements of a democracy, but most power was in his hands with no way to vote him out. Sankara rule started in a coup (or revolution if that's how you want it) and was ended in a coup when he was assassinated.

  • If they really wanted to overthrow shit, why didn’t they come strapped?

    Multiple people had firearms at the 1/6 coup attempt, this is well documented. I'm not sure why they never shot anyone, but it wasn't for lack of firearms.

  • I'm using China as a demonstration, that moving over to a renewable first or renewable only energy mix isn't just a wave your magic wand thing. Solar only makes up a few percentage points of China's energy mix. Same with wind.

  • China may have added a lot of solar panels, but solar and wind only form a tiny portion of the energy mix. The vast majority is coal. Yes, the US should be doing more to push renewables, but China isn't in a much better position presently.

  • What a stupid, stupid thing to do. Trump is all but assured to win at this point.

  • Why the fuck isn’t it number one yet? We’ve known about climate change for decades now. What’s the holdup? Why is he still opening up more land and sea reserves for drilling? He and the rest of the ghouls in DC still serve oil execs and are never going to make any meaningful actions towards climate change.

    Because building out additional renewable capacity is becoming increasingly harder. If you look at the countries that presently generate all or most of their electricity from renewables, they generally have some mix of these characteristics:

    • Extremely low per capita electricity use, e.g. Global South
    • Mostly renewables are hydro and geothermal
    • The countries are small enough to just trade with neighbors when needed

    The US has largely developed its hydro and geothermal sources, so the options going forward are wind and solar. This is presently a growing mix. Unfortunately, because those are unpredictable, storage is needed. Grid level batteries are not a mature technology, but there is plenty of investment going into the technology. It'll take some time to build out more wind and solar, and unfortunately Republicans are there the whole way to undermine any meaningful climate action.

    Also of note in the US has been the shift from coal, with its higher emissions, to the still bad natural gas. Also less mercury and radioactive material.

  • His mother died at 92, so don't hold your breath or you'll go first.

  • Military campaign?

  • Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, my pocket EDC isn't minimalist. I have ADHD, so I find that I work best if I can depend on a medium number of items always being with me. A few less things for my brain to keep track of, because they are always there.

  • Lots of types of plastic. Sure you might be able to hand them off to someone else, but there's no guarantee they are not just headed for a landfill.

  • Human Centipede begs to differ.
