Idk, words are tools as well. Right now it's being used to wake people up to the fact that republican policies are very invasive, harmful, and unpopular. I get being uncomfortable, but this is just language being language. And it's overall going to be beneficial.

World map from China, first time I see this projection in c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

Seems like this map accurately displays the poles at the expense of the continents

Passive Houses - it's easier and cheaper than you think! VOLTS with David Roberts (www.volts.wtf)
 

Passive homes (a building designed for minimum losses on heating and cooling) are cheaper and easier to construct than you might think. In fact, it's nearly the default code in Massachusetts.

Worst ever defeat, so far

Tenacious D's Kyle Gass Dropped by Agent After Controversial Trump Joke in c/music@beehaw.org
[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

Being publicly opposed to assassination of your own government leaders is hardly sympathy. It comes down to some pretty basic principles of "don't kill" and "don't give the FBI a reason to knock on my door".

What jack black said is the celebrity equivalent of "lets be careful of what we say online"

The Social Cost of Carbon Credits in c/climate@slrpnk.net
[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

There are 2 types of real carbon credits, easy credits and hard credits. The easy ones are cheap things like planting trees and efficiency programs, the hard credits are expensive, carbon capture tech that we haven't perfected and will always be costly.

Poor countries are attracted to the idea of selling their cheaply attained credits for money today. And why wouldn't they? They are indebted and struggling. But it's going to fuck them over in the future when they need credits for their own carbon accounting and they're out of easy credits to make.

No hate or judgment here, it's just the next steps in how global imperialism will continue to fuck over these countries

Electric aircraft are already better than you think - Volts with David Roberts (www.volts.wtf)
 

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. Equipped to move up to 6 passengers or 2 pilots and 3 pallets, its a small yet versatile tool. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the aircraft, much like the engine of a traditional aircraft, however, future batteries could feature improvements, meaning the vehicle gets better over time. The redundancy that Electric motors allow more easily than mechanical motors means this aircraft is far safer than anything else in the air.

envisioning a bottom up energy system - Volts with David Roberts (www.volts.wtf)
 

The energy system we have today does not match the solarpunk future we dream of. If we work towards the right energy system today, we may just have a solarpunk tomorrow

The energy transition's 5 supervillains and 5 superheroes - Volts Podcast (www.volts.wtf)
 

The take that struck me the most came towards the end. And it's that when you electrify, not only are you not burning fossil fuels to work your stove, but you're also not burning fossil fuels to power the drilling equipment, to ship the crude oil, to refine it, to pump it to your stove.

A large portion of our critical energy demand is just getting fossil fuel energy to its point of use, so small amounts of electrification and efficiency improvements at point of use have large impacts on the upstream emissions
