  • One of the things LNG has over coal is that it’s very easy to turn off and on in case cheaper sources aren’t producing enough. LNG plays much better with renewables and coal also produces ton of pollution and particulate matter. It’s the lesser of two evils when there are no methane leaks.

    Methane leaks will still punch the climate in the gut so any leaks are unacceptable and all methane gas needs to be accounted for.

    Both obviously need to be replaced with renewables and large cost efficient energy storage. Hydrogen is attractive since energy doesn’t degrade over time, pumped hydro for weekly to monthly high quantity and power, flywheels/lithium batteries to stabilise the grid frequency, heat storage with district heating for households and redux flow batteries with massive containers for winter/summer differences.













  • As a sidenote here I have a different issue where handing people your CC info is basically handing out the private keys to your bank account to a third party.

    I’d really like it if a credit card would use a public key system where you can verify that I have the funds and that the payment originates from the payment provider instead of getting my full CC details. I don’t really see why it’s necessary for a business to know who I am instead of just getting a green light from Mastercard or Visa to make the payment.


  • I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.

    Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.

    This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

    Lovely show
