My exhaled co2 contributes to climate change

I know people that you would classify as a wild animal

I have the same observation. My guess: people aren’t made for hapiness, but for the pursuit of hapiness. Quality of life has not been improving for most in EU, au contraire.

there’s no such rule

Syngas, a mixture of CO and H2

It’s university press department stuff. That’s always shitty pop-science communication.

Then again, it works, as people post that to fora, instead of the actual research. And popularity, not quality, of work brings grants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetogen is a more promising technology in my opinion. It also does not require high pressures or temperatures, has been proven to scale to tons of co2, and uses much less energy than this paper.

This paper has the advantage of not needing a high concentration of co2 in the air. But on the other hand, such sources are readily available as a by-product of industry.

Insecure

I’m happy to stay in my weird little corner.

No one has ever seen the inside of a brick

Plenty of reasons for someone to want to start over completely. I would’ve liked that to still be possible.

All online fora end up an echo chamber. Just visit more that one to keep yourself aware of the different biases.

On lemmy there’s quite a bit of “I studied the sword” type communists yeah. It’s funny how serious they take themselves :)

Maybe add nostr to your roster.

Agree! Important information!

Appreciate the much more honest answer. And I get that point of view: europeans don’t care much about the war in Sudan for example.

I agreed that EU especially, should contribute more to the defense effort of Ukraine.

Not persuing that goal is repeating the same mistake: russia rearms and attacks again. It prolongs the war and causes more suffering.

In the context of this tweet most important differences are:

SQL is a language for querying databases.

Most common used databases are relational databases. With relational databases you can setup, well, relations and constraints.

Imagine you have 2 tables (2 excel sheets) one with people, and one with home ownership. You can set the following constraint: (1) each person shows up only once in the people table. And the following relation: (2) every home owner must refer to an existing person in people table.

When modifying the table contents, the system checks if no constraints or relations are violated.

Excel, just like a badly designed relational databse, would, for example, have no problem with duplicate people, or home ownership referring to non-existant people.

Or mongoDB 🙄

Probably something bespoke/legacy.

Depends on your personal connections.

Aand, it’s gone.

the EU would contribute €50 billion with the rest pledged by “providers, investors and industry.”

Consider me old-fashioned, but that should be illegal
