I was always thinking, could we combine incineration + plasma gasification? What if we burn the garbage, which results in a lot of heat + clean + noxious gases, and then we just pass the gases through plasma? That should take care of anythi

Sequoia is a special case though. They can afford to be so shallow because the live in families, and all the roots in the forest intertwine and they help each other stay upright. Other forests are not that intertwined. I only knew about tha

Wikipedia doesn't nearly store as much information as you might think. It's basically the intro 101 on all subjects, but it barely scratches the surface of serious scientific fields. They have a million articles. A large science p

so the poster is right, your city/metro is larger than Norway, population wise. And they are super wealthy to boot. It makes it less interesting in the context of switching to EVs.

The UK doesn't have the earthquakes that Romania does, bricks houses just don't last there. So they use thick bricks with many airholes, for insulation, because winters are harsher, and then cover the bricks with mortar/stucc

Speaking for Romania here (if you go more "Central" they have smaller earthquakes and it might be different), the houses are supported by pretty big reinforced concrete columns, and the floors/ceilings are all reinforced conc

This is such a reddit level comment, a knee jerk reaction to a media article that is biased in its own way. Kentucky is voting 80% republican, so you can be sure that the measure was passed by republicans. The article doesn't mention &

I think that's what they tried to do, and partially succeeded. There is a lot of manufacturing happening in Eastern Europe. Not to the scale of China, of course, local bickering and very strong red-tape can have a dampening effect on i

Sure, but the OP was confusing dowry, which is common in western world, Europe, with bride price. People today are too squeamish about this, but in the past, the women were just not setup to be good main providers: it was hard physical labo

> No longer purchasing women from fathers That is not how dowry worked. The bride brought the dowry, not the groom. So basically the father/family would pay the husband to be to take the daughter off their hands.

I think that with the advances in refrigeration, materials, logistics, we can safely go back to having bulk food for a lot of our needs. Also reusable glass containers instead of plastic bottles (e.g. for milk, oil, etc.)

While for individual cases clinicians shouldn't rely on BMI much, and only use it for screening, in studies it makes sense to use it because it's a useful tool. A person with a BMI of 30 is almost always fatter than a person with

The power requirements for charging stations are massive! A Tesla can draw 250kW. If you have 10 chargers, that is 2.5MW. You won't get that everywhere... If you can install a 2.5MW diesel generator to cover those areas, encouraging ad

I would argue it SHOULD be allowed to happen, maybe even encourage it. An EV that needs a gas powered generator for 0-1% of its life is many times better than an ICE that needs a gas powered generator for 100% of its life. If you allow gas

But there isn't lead or other heavy metal in the cast iron itself. If there are heavy metals, they are found in the glazing, so the best thing to do is buy pure cast iron, not glazed cast iron. The same goes for ceramics, but you can&#
