Oooh, now that looks good! I’ll have to try making it sometime.

Or a crocodile.

That they aren’t being properly maintained/funded? It looks like a bunch of the bridges that are having issues are mostly due to age.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I was one of the gifted kids, got my Bachelors then Masters in Computer Science with good grades. But also I got massively depressed and it took me a while to get a job after graduation. One of the more valuable lessons I learned from that experience was that I was often not seeing the forest thru the trees. After all, going to college is just a means of hopefully ensuring that you have an easier time covering the cost of living long term. So, overall, if you’re happy and don’t have to constantly worry about your bills there was no real loss of potential.

Sadly, Apple is far and away the best for that. Plus notability allows for digital recording too. Helped me a ton through school.

Dealing with monopolies, stopping our unilateral support for Israel, fixing the housing crisis, and proper taxation for the wealthiest so that a lot of the public institutions that have been defunded for the past couple decades can be improved. Those are the biggest ones, fix those and most of the other ones start to self correct. Don’t, and the US falls apart.

Interesting, seems like there main hangups are that you can’t run against a placebo and that the two mdma trials they looked at was possibly biased for mdma (~40% of the participants had already tried mdma, and there was some questioning about bad experiences being discouraged from follow up) and that their focus was not on the therapy aspect of it, which they apparently don’t judge. I guess I get their reasoning, but it stills seems like a waste as mdma isn’t really that dangerous, and they could have at least recommended what needed to be changed to prove that mdma was beneficial.

Nothing, and 222 men. Read the article.

Honestly, just make them large enough to attach a lot of attention and eventually audit with actual punishments for gross misuse. If they could actually attach those punishments, some other stuff he’s passed (like the electrify America charging stations) would be far more effective. Not gonna lie, he kinda sadly still has my vote as he isn’t Trump. That being said, if Trump were to croak tomorrow, I think it would be a pretty safe bet that Biden would lose a lot of his polling power and some other crazy might actually have a chance to win. Actually publicly doling out punishment for those massively mismanaging funds and generally making life harder for the public would probably make him pretty popular though (at least for a bit).

Other than stopping the support for Israel (for reference, besides the obvious humanitarian issues, the US government is throwing a massive amount of our tax money in weapons they are effectively giving to a foreign country that doesn’t really seem to like the US a ton), stop the stupid tariffs on solar panels and other renewables. Yes, the CCP is obviously flooding the market with cheap renewables, and they probably aren’t the most ethically made, but we’ve had decades to throw money at renewables and frankly, it seems we haven’t really bothered much. If you really want to fuel the domestic renewable market so much, give out insanely huge subsidies to them (like the CCP has been doing for years) and invest in the next gen tech related to them. I get we are currently in a trade war, but we also need to meet climate goals and without China it doesn’t really look like we will even get close. Not trying to be a China shill or anything, just facing the issue that it mostly seems like this is just going to be a net negative for the climate.

I don’t know, how do I know?

Plus the actual cost of transport and guarding that transport doesn’t seem like the profit would actually be worth the risk. It mostly seems like why would we bother, not enough reward for the risk.

Edit: OK, some back of the napkin math, if a tanker holds 11,600 gallons and a barrel of crude oil (42 gallons to a barrel) costs around $85 (current prices), then the revenue of the 69 oil transports would be around 1.6 Million dollars. This is assuming they got current prices, the army basically sent enough soldiers to protect a full convoy, and they didn’t have to drive too much of a distance to an oil refinery. After taking into account expenses, that really is a stupid low profit for such high risk (if a soldier was shot for instance it would definitely be in the news). I do not buy the story, way too much doesn’t add up from a financial perspective.

Depends on where you get it. Recently had to go through and find another version, as mine was detected by YouTube and just said to download the official version of YouTube to play videos.

Oh, that’s awful, where are the places that they are that cheap in the US, so I can totally not buy them there?

Even where you wouldn’t think it is appropriate. I make pizza crusts from scratch, and sometimes I put a bit in the dough to give it some flavour.

Smoked paprika. It throw it in a lot of stuff you wouldn’t guess it was in, as it adds a little bit of a smokey flavour.

I occasionally go back to reddit for niche communities and for looking up some user generated information/answers. I think the niche community might not easily be solved until more people move to lemmy, but as for the information lookup, if we can port the more useful stuff from reddit I don’t think I’d have much of a reason to go back to reddit (seriously, so much of the newer info in some subs are factually wrong but no one seems to care and it just seems to get worse the longer time progresses). The main issue is how to figure out what is the useful stuff. Idk about Twitter, haven’t used them in years.

Yep. Still rocking my Samsung note 8, works fine for what I need it to do (listen to music/audiobook, make calls, text, and occasionally browse the internet).

Are the only yields co2 and water? That is my main concern, as I’d guess making methanol in mass would require quite large quantities of fresh water and if the yield is lossy, then you would lose a lot of fresh water. I get it is probably much cleaner than most of the fuel that shipping uses, but it does establish a precedent of converting fresh water to fuel (admittedly while capturing co2).
