Don't worry, your pessimism isn't totally misplaced. See that big "natural gas" line?
Natural gas is just a more palatable word for methane, and burning methane is still putting an enormous amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. But methane by itself is like 10x worse than CO2 and the EPA estimates as much as 10% of all methane for domestic use ends up in the atmosphere. Fun!
That's not run down, that's a warehouse. Is it falling apart? Is the flooring worn? Are the walls cracking? Ceilings leaking? That's what run down means, not whatever your weird complaint is about the decor and color scheme is.
Elden Ring. Been on a souls like kick, so decided to do another playthrough. Haven't played in over a year I don't think so it's time!
Okay but FR wtf is usenet. I've never known, and I'm old enough to be able to say that I should
Zero points in the second half is a little concerning though. It ended up being enough but it's wild how they're struggling to score recently.
I'm sure plenty of people would understand it, but I'm struggling with a project at work where I've got an operator giving me bad data, and the project appears unsafe and I need to decide and convince my management if we're going to object to it or not.
Have an electrician come map your outlets. They find the connections in the breaker panel, then they trace them out to figure out where they go and what they do. Your contractor may be right, but as someone that bought a house that's over 100 years old, it's just as likely that the switch goes nowhere/isn't live, or powers something you'd NEVER think of, or powers something that you can't even see because someone put a drywall facade over it or some other weirdness!
We discovered that we had a LIVE outlet, under our living room floor. For some reason, at some point someone decided that needed an outlet literally in the middle of the living room floor (coffee table lame is my guess). The previous owner/flipper put feaux-hardwood laminate down in the whole house and instead of deactivating it, they just put the flooring right over the top of it and its live 100 year old cloth wrapped wires, leaving us a lovely little fire hazard! That outlet was controlled by, you guessed it, the mystery switch on the wall next to the front door that didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks, I'm downloading it now!
Newsblur right now. I don't want ads, and I like the f-droid disabled the intrusive options from the playstore.
Any other reader recs? Not married to it by any means, I like it well enough. I don't like that I can't browse by folder or by everything without a premium subscription though. $99/year is extreme for my uses, wish there was a more palatable option for intermediate users. Still, it's easy enough to jump between topics.
Thanks! Yeah I figured I would ask in each of the communities in looking for content in vs mass asking in a larger forum. Thanks for the recs, I added several! Krebs, techspot, anandtech seem great!
Top comment says NOOOOOOO
YES, methane stays in the atmosphere a shorter duration as methane, but most of it naturally breaks down into CO2 which then stays in the atmosphere just as long as all the other CO2. It is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.
