This is pretty useless to be honest. It's good for telling whether a number is even, but in our industry we need more powerful functionality. We also need to know whether a number is odd.

Thank you for your response. I've certainly found keto seems to inspire quite a tribal approach in many people - the r/keto subreddit has a certain dogma that is rigidly enforced, there's a pro-saturated-fat pro-meat tribe e

Which study are you referring to for keto having a negative impact on cardiovascular health? I've unfortunately found studies and metastudies reaching all sorts of conflicting conclusions on keto. The top metastudies on a simple google

I was really surprised how easy it was to set up Square to simply receive tap-to-pay payments on my phone. I ran an incredibly busy after-school cake sale, maybe 100 transactions in twenty minutes? It was pretty great. It just felt unusu

Ah yeah, I'm in WA and although things have really advanced a lot in the last ten years, there are still plenty of cafes that "you don't really go to for the coffee" and it's more normal to just have one set of bean

It's quite interesting how coffee is treated in different cultures. In Australia, coffee would normally be consumed as a dark roast, but with texturised (that is aerated and steamed to create a microfoam). Dark roast coffee is less aci

Find me an American-owned company that doesn't have plans to cut 20% of staff. It just seems like the norm nowadays.

Yep I've had experience with offshoring engineering to low cost centres where nobody in the entire staff has ever set foot on an operating oil / gas facility. It pushes all the actual decision-making, risk management and design ba

There is a long history of euphemisms taking over - one day we may say "unalived" as a perfectly normal replacement for "killed", just as we don't call bears "arkto" or "ursa" any more, we just e

It was quite interesting that Reddit had its own unique culture during the rage comics and narwhal era. At that time, you knew you were on Reddit and not some other site. Whereas now, it's pretty homogeneous with every other site. I

I'm the original commenter, and quite simply you're right and I slipped up. It's not really using the terminology correctly for me to say "natural gas is ~75% hydrogen on a molar basis". Whenever talking about hydr

I work for an oil and gas company. It has been specifically stated by my company that they are seeking support for hydrogen as a fuel because it adds value to their gas reserves - natural gas is roughly 75% hydrogen on a molar basis. The id

Hmm maybe I shouldn't be so sure of myself then. The comparison between LNG and coal that I was referencing was the comparison between coal and LNG's lifecycle emissions on the basis of like-for-like electricity generation (so it

Liquefied Natural Gas was expected to be a lower-emission alternative fuel compared to bunker fuel. The proportion of LNG fuelled cargo tankers out there right now is about 2% but for new orders, about 30% of them are LNG fuelled so that sm

No the ammonia toxicity hazard is incredibly severe, it immediately burns your lungs and you die by choking on your own blood as your lungs dissolve. Whereas with natural gas leaks you can reduce the likelihood of ignition by intrinsically

none of those three, but I expect a combination of methanol, biodiesel and (only for near-shore and inland shipping) battery electric.

2026 is still a very ambitious startup date for this. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has only just approved interim guidelines for the addition of ammonia to the IGF Code (use of gaseous fuels). There's a lot to it, bu

I can only imagine that the "AI" look must be somehow intentional. I recently discovered how to make very realistic images - you simply ask for your image, then you use the follow-up prompt "make it more realistic" and,

Yeah I drive a BYD Atto 3 and it's a great car but the lane assist and adaptive cruise control lets it down significantly. I won't be getting excited about self driving this decade.
