@bonifartius That doesnt make the act of burning them any less green though. just means in addition to the harm you did some seperate thing that did some good.
Its like saying gasoline is green cause I planted a tree when i was a kid.
In 2023, OpenEdition Books reached the milestone of 14,000 books published online – what a way to celebrate its 10th anniversary! It has been a decade marked by collaborative work with publishers and partners, new technologies and upgrades, innovative projects and cross-team discussions: in other words, ten years of resounding success! A tremendous thank you to everyone who has contributed these last ten years to making OpenEdition Books an indispensable humanities and social sciences hub. https://oep.hypotheses.org/3346
Yes that is probably what they are doing... im poiinting out that is incorrect... biomass is not an "other" it is a renewable, non-green resource so should either be under renewable or renewable should be renamed to green.
@noelle While you are right it does remove atmospheric moisture (and moisture it directly touched but thats not relevant) that isnt to say it wont help dry it.
The silica gel will bring the humidity in the air to 0%, this super dry air will cause accelerated evaporation of any water in the device. As it evaporates it will be captured by the silica keeping the humid near 0%... It will **significantly** speed up the rate of drying.
I use it to fast dry plant material before chemical extraction. The same plant material that would take 2 weeks to dry in the open air would take about 24 hours to dry when sealed and packed with silica.
@noelle I think the logic is rice is supposed to be a dessicant... but its a pretty poor one... if your gonna put your phone in something to dry buy some silica "gel" (its not a gel)
@christineburns Just a reminder charcoal and wood are considered "renewable resources"... renewable is not the same as green.
Thankfully here the renewable resources are also green resources.. my point is only that its a bad choice of breakdown IMO
@darnell and the plague begins :)
In all seriousness this is cool.
@juglugs This was not proposed by an 11 year old it was proposed by a user on reddit (not 11) 6 years ago:
> That's just false. The "anti-rich people movement" is as old as civilization, look no futher than pesant revolts against the nobility and worker strikes of the past 200 years.
As a concept it certainly isnt new, I agree... but as of late it has been an idea that has far more support than it has in the recent past.... I really could care less about how much it was adopted historically.
> Rich people specifically rarely partecipated in the whole "taking care of each other" thing when it involved common people anyway.
Spoken as someone just making shit up with little expiernce or evidence to back it up.
First off objectively rich people donate a far larger **percentage** of their income to charity works than middle class or the poor... we arent just talking dollars and cents but actual percentage of income. And the difference is huge.
As one of the only objective measures i can really think of this alone shows fairly well you statement to be false.
Moreover, anyone who has been around rich people in a social and personal way (rich family, through work, whatever) would plainly see that these people often care a great deal about charitable work and doing more with their money.. Most rich people I know have 20 or 30 things I personally know of they went out of their way and sacraficed to help communities.
Dont get me wrong there are selfish evil rich people too... probably in the same perportion as non-rich really. But the idea that as a crowd they are inherently more evil than those with less money... thats just jealousy and pettyness blinding you, little more.
@georgetakei I will never understand why people care about such petty things like this that dont matter... who the fuck cares if he wears nailpolish... who does that even hurt!
Why? We already have brain interface links that do similar damage to neuralink, this isnt unusual or unexpected. In its current form it is rightfully used on terminal patients with locked-in syndom. In other words, people before it damaged their brain in a meaningful way and whom cant be further paralyzed.
It would give these people a chance at someinteraction with the real world... What happened with the monkeys was about in line with other neural interfaces, its a consequence of the limits of the tech not negligence.
They're actually 3 seperate ones.
Took these again for shits and gigs. It reminded me why I dislike quizzes like this, the questions always kinda suck Or are like "um, what?"and I always wish there were more choices. A lot of them I'm like "um, let the individual/the market decide that, not me." lol
And I remember one time I took a strictly leftist-oriented one for shits and gigs too. It said "utopian socialist" but when you looked at the graphs it was basically "Fuck the environment, build a shitload of factories."
Yea they are always a little annoying and hard to answer correctly because "it depends"
lolol
