I use ODM to map large areas (100-300) acres regularly. It's pretty much fire and forget on AWS spot instances. Combined with Dronelink, my workflow is largely automated. Just a few more pieces I'd need to have in place to be able

It's great, but several times it does fall back to single threaded performance. I regularly use it to generate photos of hundreds of acres, and I end up needing a machine with more RAM and less CPU.

I did, during the initial union busting efforts. Surprisingly easy to get by without prime. Until Amazon can start treating workers well, it seems to me the best move is not to pay them to abuse people.

Do you run cold or feel cold? Because those are opposite. If you run hot, temperatures should feel relatively chilly. Like when you run a fever you feel cold.

Totally. I am currently experimenting with TLUDs for waste products from some forest land I own. I didn't realize they were also attempting to capture the gases from pyrolization rather than using them to continue the pyrolysis. In tha

Yes. And also no. Practices like that are good, but the majority of your carbon sequestration will come in the form of the roots of plants. (This is part of why no till is good.) Getting surface vegetation to deposit carbon in the soil long

Right now I'm experimenting with biochar production in small scale TLUDs, but I'm absolutely fascinated in scaling up.

It's the same way that burning 1 kilogram of gasoline produces more than 1 kilogram of CO2. Oxygen from the atmosphere gets bound to the carbon.

Pkrein, I see you posting here. I've got 200 acres of forest in Washington State and I'm long term interested in providing biomass for carbon sequestration, what can I be doing now to connect with companies like yours to help ensu

Pyrolysis is an energy positive reaction. It requires an initial heat input, but after getting started it produces more heat than it needs. That heat can be used to generate electricity or warm water.

Decomposing biomass releases almost all its mass back as CO2 into the atmosphere, very little is sequestered. This approach removes carbon from the atmosphere permanently. It's also (probably) a net energy producer and it doesn't

They discuss a bit in the article, but the material they had prototyped with was very different than the material they tried to scale up with. It sounds like their scaled up plant accepted a wide variety of materials, but this one specific

Do you have quiet times where you collect yourself? Get lost in your own thoughts or read a book? Imagine me coming up to you during those times and interrupting them, while secretly filming your response. You find out later you've bee

She's not being treated as a human, she's being used as a prop. There are many levels of dehumanizing, and treating your subjects like objects rather than people is a form of dehumanization.

Bees don't steal anything humans want. Nectar and pollen are not something we collect ourselves. The bees, however, do pollinate the plants that provide us with food, so keeping bees can increase yields for neighbors who are growing th

Ford lighting is currently my next vehicle, but we have a need for a truck specifically (we have forest land we work on conserving). I'm keeping an eye on Kia, VW, Hyundai right now. But I expect other manufacturers will catch up.

An acre might be low, five acres might be high. Depends a lot on what the local conditions are like, what you can grow, what tools you have. I keep bees, for instance, and my hives produce about 50-100lbs of honey per year. It's not su

Borage, miner's lettuce, nettle too! To say nothing of the berries you can snag from things. That said, we do grow kale, as it's a pretty nutrient dense green that is mighty tasty, versatile, and hard to mess up.

Currently have a reservation in for a Ford Lightning (but we use a truck for our forest). We have a plug in hybrid that has a 20 mile range on battery that basically never runs on gas as well. I've heard good things about the Kia Niro,

The cars are real but they are... Mediocre. The first year of ownership is an amazing honeymoon period, assuming you got one with decent build quality. But the parts are cheap, and they break quickly. I've had one for 5+ years and it&#

As an owner for 5+ years, the cars show well but pretty quickly become a pain in the ass. They'll get eclipsed by other electric car manufacturers real quick. Edit: more specifically, the parts break and they are difficult to replace.

In the States, yes. It's unfortunate, I think, because it lumps together many different (and often opposing) ideologies under one label.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I think I probably care more about defining "left" vs "liberal" then most here in the States. And I'd agree, as much as I want it to be the case that we see more worker solidarity, it&#
