Recurrent has a fairly accurate battery health estimate tool. There are tools for directly connecting via ODB that can give you the battery health at least for the Nissan Leaf, but I haven't looked into them for years and couldn't

I find Google calendar on desktop to have a bunch of little annoyances relative to Cron. Examples: - When you create an event, it pops over your calendar instead of on the right - You can't easily tab through the event creation process

I like this back-of-the-envelope estimate, but it's even worse than that. The carbon in oil is lightweight relative to the two oxygens it combines with (atomic weights 12 and 16 respectively) from the air, so 1kg of oil emits about 3kg

Ammonia - NH4 - is often proposed as a solution for shipping. Note there is no carbon in the chemical formula, thus there is no carbon dioxide resulting from burning it. Hydrogen will be made from renewables by 2030.

I believe Charm industrial is using the biochar process, but producing oil and pumping it into the ground. Even in fields, it’s a solid idea. And like you said, it’s recognized as being a very stable store of carbon for a very long time. Th

There is a great Radiolab show about both the South and modern research into hookworms. If you have 2-10 hookworms and eat a modern diet (higher in iron), you're probably going to be fine. If you have 30-50, you're going to have a
