A yard is 3 feet, so a cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet

Serious salvia flashbacks from that headline image.

Not only that, but they are the same species (different cultivars): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Also, obligatory xkcd: https://m.xkcd.com/2827/

Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in “Privacy <3” at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

The Kona EV looks to be about $35,000 base price, and are offering $7,500 in rebates (through Hyundai, not IRA).

I’ve just been shopping around - I don’t know any of this for sure.

I love fresh artichokes - I can’t find good ones here in grocery stores. I tried growing a one-year cultivar once - it did produce a couple of small buds, but wasn’t worth the trouble.

Looking good! Do I see artichokes?

In case it helps for the future, I also think you came off defensive from the first reply. If everyone but you seems like an asshole, you may want to look at how you’re acting.

You usually seem pretty positive on here - if you’re having a crappy day, I hope things feel better after a night’s sleep.

Is a sub/hoagie a sandwich? Bread is usually connected.

Oh God, why did I get involved

Good to know - I’m trying this for the first time this year.

Any luck with growing second generation seeds from the plants you grew?

I was finally able to keep the vibe borers from killing my zucchini last year. Maybe I just got lucky, but this combo worked for me:

1. Manual picking of eggs - I usually do this daily.
2. Cover bottom of vines with aluminum foil.
3. Spray with Bt. Follow package instructions, usually spray once or twice per week, depending on if it rained heavily.

A watt is a joule per second - they are not directly convertable.

House of Leaves vibes

Even better, here’s a direct link to a NASA page discussing the data: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150192/tracking-30-years-of-sea-level-rise

Some quotes from the page:

Scientists have found that global mean sea level—shown in the line plot above and below—has risen 10.1 centimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992. Over the past 140 years, satellites and tide gauges together show that global sea level has risen 21 to 24 centimeters (8 to 9 inches).

“With 30 years of data, we can finally see what a huge impact we have on the Earth’s climate,” said Josh Willis, an oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA’s project scientist for Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. “The rise of sea level caused by human interference with the climate now dwarfs the natural cycles. And it is happening faster and faster every decade.”

The altimetry data also show that the rate of sea level rise is accelerating. Over the course of the 20th century, global mean sea level rose at about 1.5 millimeters per year. By the early 1990s, it was about 2.5 mm per year. Over the past decade, the rate has increased to 3.9 mm (0.15 inches) per year.

While a few millimeters of sea level rise per year may seem small, scientists estimate that every 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of sea level rise translates into 2.5 meters (8.5 feet) of beachfront lost along the average coast. It also means that high tides and storm surges can rise even higher, bringing more coastal flooding, even on sunny days. In a report issued in February 2022, U.S. scientists concluded that by 2050 sea level along U.S. coastlines could rise between 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) above today’s levels.

Which is great, but I’m sure your plant deionizes the water before using it in the electrolyzers, right? So the water is still being purified, just not by a public water plant.

This is not correct. All commercial electrolyzers need very pure water as a feed to the system. PEM and SOEC electrolyzers use the ultrapure (industry term) water directly, while alkaline electrolyzers combine it with potassium hydroxide. Using sea water will very quickly result in non-functional equipment.

It looks like it regularly goes on sale that cheap on Amazon, at least in my region:
