I have alder flowers swollen, have to check them daily. It seems they should be emitting, but they do not stain fingers yet. Bees seem to know it regardless of weather, they do not fly out and sensors indicate that they are calm. I'm in central Finland though.

Yeah, and then a bear comes and gorges on it. Every year, same bear, same tree, same woodpecker.
Large amount of any chemical pufiried, concentrated, and spilled in one place is a disaster
Improper utilization of any energy storage media - wood, electricity, even gyro-storage - is dangerous and produces hazardous waste
It's all about being technological and playing fair. There is nothing that switch from one energy storage to another would accomplish in terms of environmental safety.
I love NH3 idea, it's IMO 3rd best solution. Second best is alcohol. First best is making your energy locally with whatever you have and not wasting it for stupid things.
But all this will be easily messed up by reckless greedy maniacs that have most of the power in the world right now.
Here is something my dear friend wrote I just read yesterday: https://alexshvartsman.com/2024/12/03/the-rattler-by-leonid-kaganov/

I've read kiwis are forest floor bullies, isn't that true?
But, as far as I remember, major contributor to carbon emissions are not poor villages, but jet sets and their factories in poor villages exploiting the work of poor villagers who have no say about their air quality lest they lose their jobs like they lost their means to sustain themselves from farming. Indeed, just not flying for fun and not selling the oil and coal that do not really belong to them would be so much more technological than trying to get grants for things they do not understand (and waste them traveling the world on planes telling everyone they should invest in it too only to then burn the rest in taxes used to support oilgascoal industry directly or not). When you show perpetum mobile here it is totally relevant - that's how greenwashing works in terms of economy on every level, no matter what technology is being praised.
How about I want to have my inference process to negate error bound to my priors?
In object oriented onthology, to know is him is to be him.
That's essentially how many gases are made from mixtures, like notrogen or oxygen. Showing this as something new tells a lot about author's uderstanding. Carbon capture is not about making entirely new tech, it's optimization, and that's where startups suck at everything except for getting and then wasting cash.
Yeah, I wanted to move to Alberta many years ago to join your university and have fun with bitumen. But I'm in Finland now, so winter is ok, and now summers are intense and hot everywhere. I don't know why exactlt anybody would crop grow these grains south of here, where other things thrive. Leave hardy grasses for arctic steppes.
Malting it for base malt is probably not worth the effort indeed (kind of weird that there are a few small-scale enterprises around where I live who try to make small batches of malt - and it's base malt. Of course it's inferior to large scale, sadly, I had sad experience trying to use super-local. Why don't they see the real market potential for weird stuff? Maybe I should take that space when I set the process?), but there are limitless potential specialty varieties you can try. Roast it differently? Skip toasting altogether and use it asap to see what happens? Reproduce some historical process? So much fun (probably).
Winter just came back hard, something about polar vortex. Bees are smart! I remember some years trees like apples were frostbitten in blooming with sudden frosts. Could this happen to alder or birch? What are we going to do then?
