#Carbon Source

[meteorologistaustenlonek]

"“We are trying to understand the carbon budget in the Arctic,” says Hazuková. The stakes are high: That ledger of sinks and sources informs the models that scientists use to project the Earth’s future climate. Currently, however, the estimate “pretty much only focuses on soils and vegetation,” she says. “Freshwaters are just not included at all.”"

JANE: Why are you microwaving carbonated drinks. That feels wrong.

DIRK: I dunno. Most people hate it, but I'm also the person that purposefully lets Coke go flat because I like it better flat. So me and carbonated drinks have a weird relationship.

ROXY: i feel like.......thats def gonna cause some sort of explosion? but also. idk enough about microwaving liquids to prove that

DIRK: That's fair. Probably would explode if I forget to open it beforehand, which likely will happen eventually.

ROXY: wait wait wiat are u microwaving it in the fucking can

DIRK: Yes??? It's only aluminum, right?

ROXY: ohhhh my fuckin god

JAKE: So um... microwaving aluminum specifically is known to cause arching which can cause fires! I suppose thick aluminum is fine but thin aluminum like foil and i ASSUME the edge of an open can is NOT.

JANE: Not to mention, microwaving liquids can be dangerous, as they get hot extremely quickly...

DIRK: Ah. That would explain the popping sound. I assumed that was just my microwave being old. Good to note I shouldn't do that in the future.

JAKE: ...

ROXY: O_O

JANE: I... I don't think you should be let near the microwave anymore.

i think ronan lynch has a disproportionate level of carbon emissions and further more has an infinite capacity to stop climate change and has done nothing. how did blue tolerate this i would be at his throat.

they were insane for this i will never stop thinking about it. when ur girl brings u back to life with her mental illness

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.

the excuse of “it’s an adaptation of coURSE it’s not going to be perfect” is so funny to me as if one piece didn’t do MONUMENTALLY WELL bc it is a literal frame by frame copy of the source material and tbh that’s not even exactly what i wanted (mostly bc it’s impossible to achieve with atla in live action and it not look cringey and cheap as fuck) but it’s such a lazy excuse lmfao they had what? over 8 hours of content atla runs for the same time (actually even less if you take out the beginning and ending credits) so this excuse of cutting down for the sake of time is a joke. they had the time to do the proper plot points they chose not to for the sake of adding weird death scenes, weird clunky romances with sokka? and massacring the plot points. it felt like the people who made this show hated atla tbqh. like the only parts they liked were the “main quest parts” (spoiler alert damn near everything that happens in atla is relevant to the main plot down to katara’s fucking necklace and sokka’s boomerang) it feels like they didn’t know the source material at best and at worst straight up didn’t fucking care. None of the characters are true to their core traits, none of the arcs are treated with any kind of respect or even just the courtesy of basic coherence. i don’t understand how anyone who actually likes and understands atla can go “oh em gee it’s just bandwagon hate it was actually so good teehee” have some fucking standards for gods sake

It's always tempting to debate bigots about their bigotry, but honestly the best thing you can do is often to directly help those affected by said bigotry.

Bigotry doesn't exist to be debated. People who are bigots do not care about debate - they care about humiliating their opponents. You cannot outsmart somebody who doesn't give a flying fuck about their position being incorrect. You will be playing a completely different game by trying to debate somebody out of their bigotry.

The best thing you can do is to show up for the marginalized. Check in on them, talk to them, and engage with them as people. Ask them if they would like help and then respect their answer to the best of your capabilities. Oftentimes, that will be sufficient enough and will go a long way.

it's funny how daemon always get cited as one of the most notable and polarizing characters of house of the dragon, and that objectively i know that he is very relevant to the events of the dance of the dragons, but i feel absolutely nothing for him. good or bad. he really is just kind of there. to me

DIRK: Under communism, the wait staff will not ask if Pepsi is okay. You will not even find out that it's Pepsi instead of Coke until you take your first sip. Unless you train like me, to know the difference from the sound of the Fizz alone, that is the only way we can beat communism and I can teach you. Take my hand. Not like that you grabbed it gay. Stop. Giggles. I SAID STOP

I just want to make it clear that you can like an artist and still criticize their actions

Tbf, the whole AI thing is horrible for the environment. This was already something people warned about before the whole "AI art" thing took off, and I doubt that has changed in any way

So like. You’re not wrong. The environmental impact here is not zero. From all sources I can find, training a 'regular' model uses the same amount of carbon as a cross-US flight, and training an 'advanced' model can generate factory levels of carbon. Not great.

Forgive me for saying this then, but...why don't I see this much fuss being made over any other computer-based sources of carbon (besides crypto mining)? Nothing you do with a computer is carbon-neutral. Twitch on its own generates TONS of carbon, so do game consoles. The environmental impact AI has can’t be ruled out, and I'm positive all of the chodes out there prompt jockeying for 'commissions' are driving up the amount it pumps out. But it does feel...a tad disingenuous to single out generative programs out when this is an issue across the board.

🌈what would you do if you knew you could not fail?

☄️foreign language you'd like to learn?

🧚‍♀️what calms you down?

🌈: ...like, at just the one thing I'm trying? Well... I guess, invent a totally renewable, completely non-polluting, absolutely safe, no negative effects whatsoever, ultra-efficient, super-powerful, easy-to-make power source in less than a year - and then give it away.

☄️: The top one would probably be French, if only for potential Canadian immigration purposes. Spanish would be incredibly useful; German would be nice too!

🧚‍♀️: Nature, Star Trek, or a good puzzle.
