    Where does your power come from?

    Right now? Primarily hydro with a strong solar and wind showing. Roughly 10% of my power is from Fossil fuels.

    You are just shifting the shit elsewhere

    Even with a pure fossil fuel grid, EVs still end up producing less CO2 than ICE vehicles. However, grids aren’t pure fossil fuels which means EVs are far cleaner than Fossil fuel vehicles. Especially in my current circumstance.

    Less than 8% of energy consumption in the US comes from renewable energy. Another 8% come from nuclear.

    13% while being one of the fastest growing energy production sectors.

    That’s petrol / natural gas / coal powering your home, factories, shops, and restaurant

    Not mine because I live in the Pacific North West which is the greenest grid in the US.






  • Yup. If you are going to own a printer, get a laser black and white printer and keep it forever. Do not get an inkjet printer. And if you need color prints (you don’t) you can literally just do those at walgreens, cvs, or a bunch of other stores that will do color prints.

    The only time you should get an inkjet printer is if you are a busy photographer selling a bunch of prints and you’ve hit the point where doing color prints through a store has become too expensive.



  • Yes and no.

    Some salts are easier to work with than others. Kosher salt, in particular, is fairly hard to over season with because you can visually see just how much you’ve thrown onto a steak or such. Fine salt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to over season with.

    But then it also depends a lot on the dish. Sauces are really hard to over season. The sea of fluid can absorb a fair amount of salt before it’s noticeable. Meats are similar. A steak can have a snow covering of kosher salt and it won’t really taste super salty.

    Bread, on the other hand, will be noticeably worse if you throw in a tbs of salt instead a tsp.

    But salt wasn’t specifically what I was thinking when I wrote that. Herbal seasoning garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, etc, generally won’t overpower a dish if you have too much of them. Especially if you aren’t working with the powdered form. (Definitely possible to over season something with garlic salt/powder).




  • Israel got in hot water internationally the last time for doing exactly the same thing. So blaming Hamas is an easy trick to pull to try and detract from the ongoing mass starvation they are directly responsible for.

    It’s really gross.

    They did the exact same thing when they first blew up a hospital. Then they proceeded to blow up all the hospitals after the major news outlets stopped covering it.

    Ditto with murdering literally over 100 journalists to try and suppress independent coverage of their ongoing genocide.

    You can’t trust fascists propaganda to accurately report fascist genocide.






  • to people like you that can’t see past the hollow optics.

    Umm, ok, Like I agree with you that charities in general tend to be a bad way to solve public problems. But I’m also pointing out that charities rich people tend to contribute to are often even worse than ineffective for addressing public needs.
