District level heating is actually pretty efficient, some universities do the same thing on purpose to save on bills. Our relatively young city does it with the downtown skyscrapers for the same reason.
The other nice thing is that when you upgrade the heating system to be less carbon intensive, you can instantly have a ton of buildings all jump instantly to fewer emissions too.
Well, there is one way, and most of us would welcome it at this point, lol.
They might not be, but God they are cute. I know they are wild animals, but I wanna get in there and play with them. :)
Zoom in on the face of the one in the header pic. They look like wise, noble anthro librarians from a TTRPG.
"Trust me bro, this pipeline won't leak or explode. Please, bro, just one more pipeline. One more pipeline and we'll be great again I promise"
This was a really interesting article, I just read it in today's paper.
Seven grams of plastic in your brain is enough for an entire plastic spoon :)
We are cutting back plastics where we can.
Damn, that does sound good. I hope they kick Russia's ass, we wanna do business with them!
Up there among the greats with Pokemon: The first movie and the classic Disney movies ;)
The Stylus 2024 is an excellent phone, coming from Samsung. It was on sale for $250 last year, which was great. I doubt I'll go back to flagships, tbh. This phone feels nearly as fast as flagships in everyday usage. The only slow part is editing screen recordings or videos, which I seldom do anyways. The headphone jack and microSD card is really nice and surprisingly useful.
You own a successful business and are shrewdly saving money in an unpredictable time in world history. You'll be fine. School is always there, and if you like, you can take night classes when you are feeling bored/restless if there's a slow season. Hell, you can go to uni on the side if there's one locally. Don't sweat it, OP. Follow your dreams, date who you like, and live the life that you and your gf want to live. (If your gf becomes a doctor or lawyer, you two can also swing leads on employment while putting the other through school if the relationship becomes serious. That's what my folks did when they were young).
Some of my clients are small business owners that either make it a full-time gig, or do it on the side, spinning up certain industrial shops, then selling them to larger companies that would like to expand to a new region or province. If you ever wanted a change of pace, I'm sure you could do something similar with tires.
Huh, that final pose does kinda look like the Osprey aircraft. I always thought they named it after the bird because it sounded cool.
This is really exciting stuff, tbh. It's kinda amazing that in a world where the frontiers have been settled, most fields have had a century to a thousand years of refinement, there are still areas of science where we have giant gaps in our knowledge, like scientists first discovering gravity, or the circumference of Earth.
Someone, perhaps someone who is already alive, is going to discover new math or observations that fundamentally change how we see the universe, with far reaching implications on cosmic exploration, travel the birth and death of our universe, and (I'm sure) many commercial applications.
This is mostly true, haha. Though....
I held open a door in Canada and got berated for it by someone in their 40s. He wanted me to slam the door in his face, which I get if it was an apartment on the east side of Vancouver, but this was not the case, lol.
I'm always amazed that Canada has more extreme personality types than where I've lived in the US. Generally people are more nice, but the mean ones are jaw-droppingly mean, lol. Always gives me a bit of culture shock whenever it happens, which is probably once every 10 visits or so (I visit often).
The most recent one was someone who was extremely bothered that we rented out a space for a wedding and admonished the groom that he was using a community space an hour before it was set to open (we got permission from the landlords to use it as such.)
All that aside, Canada is not for sale, Fuck those cunts in the Trump administration, and you guys were fully justified for what you did in 1812. 😎
