  1. Re:Let's bury that one on Study Links Rapid Ice Sheet Melting With Distant Volcanic Eruptions (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    Environmental problems are absolutely interconnected. Technological change solving one allows the evidence of another to be collected. So it was with the particulate problem from soot and the phenomenon of global warming. The chemical basis of both is easily understood, but the environmental interaction was such that the warming effect of CO2 emissions was partly masked by the sunlight reduction from coal ash and other particulates in the atmosphere.

    The constitutional process - the one where all of Spain votes on whether independence of any part is the correct route. The one ignored by the over-zealous Catalan leaders out to make a name for themselves in the blood of others. They are the real scum. The USA would have been run better British, and I'm saying that as a German.

    Bleaching after picking is to remove contaminants and disease causing bacteria from the soil. This added layer of washing with base solution should be targeted to consumers not at trying to replace safer industry practices. Combination requires new machinery for production scale so is impractical.

    It was a combination of revolt against the Shah's modernism and schizophrenia in the US political establishment that let the CIA really make its own foreign policy and depose a democratically elected and pro-western leader for shits and giggles. Political goals and internal goals were different in the USA at that time with the change in CIA director multiple times in a short window coinciding with the downright bipolar treatment of Iran pre-revolution.

At least until the Russian troll- brigades change shifts and the school kids wake up, then it will shift from politically useful advocation of racism and intolerance to simple idiocy.

    No! That's like saying "modern art isn't godly because it doesn't have grey-haired and grey-bearded white dudes floating on clouds". Styles vary, and Islamic art is focused on words and calligraphy as well as repeating patterns of amazing sophistication. Weaving is absolutely an art and a science when math is applied like this.

    Christian art like Gregorian chants? It is typically referred to by period (Renaissance, Baroque, etc.) more than named as a whole, while Islamic art is commonly referred to as exactly that because western audiences use a different system for years and eras.

    Broader internet access has destroyed most value in online communications. Trolling became a past-time for children as they gained access, especially constant access. Now they have grown older but not wiser, and the next batches of children have been ever worse having grown only seeing increasingly fallen versions of former communities. Only academic and journal websites have any merit, and even they are in danger of being lost. As said in Aliens (#2), the only option left to fix it is to nuke it all from orbit.

  19. Except disel emissions regulations haven't been enforced due to massive organized deception at BMW and others. The standards have no relationship to actual production functioning, and there has been little push-back except to ban diesel all together in urban areas, while letting those responsible carry on their merry ways.

    Making a durable installation isn't fashion, it is the difference between making a donation and making a slave from people. Your coding BS has nothing on physical work, so give up the martyrdom attempts. Physical work must withstand the elements that it will be subject to from day #1, or not only will it not last but will spawn more expenses and costs including failing and killing people. Musk could have done a better job, but he chose not to. There are reasons for that that don't fit in your Ayn Rand bible, and that are unethical and immoral it not illegal in every other situation.

    You could try reading that sentence again - it has two major parts "poorly installed panels" and "designed to be maintenance cost-cows for Musk". Those are related by the easily observable condition of the shoddy installation the article focuses on. This is an easy example of bad contract construction that is intended to drum up more business for the provider later. See: asphalt scams. Musk is running a PV scam here, with fastening that is neither on a solid foundation nor secured against any high winds.

    No, capitalism involves a market and options - this is about creating an isolated fiefdom for Musk to rule. A crack-dealer isn't participating in capitalism either, for the same reasons. PR must refuse everything else Musk does after the emergency. The poorly installed panels are designed to be maintenance cost-cows for Musk, and they will have to be scrapped ASAP.

  25. Re:What about versus E85s? on Electric Cars Emit 50 Percent Less Greenhouse Gas Than Diesel, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Ethanol and bio-diesel make for an interesting alternative, but the consideration then must include the factors for its generation to be comparable. That means the messy shipping-grade diesel powered farm equipment with no exhaust filtering systems at all, the comparable transportation of palm seeds/corn/every other organic source in 30+ year old diesel trucks, etc. That makes it a different problem that needs to be investigated. However, scale is a major issue as ethanol production pales in comparison to petrol itself and especially in comparison to electrical power. That is before the processing and mixing, which is another constraint on volume.
