A very fair question and the answer is complicated. Production costs and transmission costs are separate. Also demand changes the market rate. And even if renewables are cheaper to produce in a market usually the highest price regardless of

> they know windpower and solar are not viable long term That’s why they are installing it all over their country at the fastest pace of any country by far? That’s why they probably hit peak oil consumption? The coal thing is complicated

I think they should be allowed for cultural reasons but only if cut by hand like we did when I was a kid :)

You don’t have any coal fired power stations and only a little coal used for other purposes compared to historical uses. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-by-end-user-uk Your emissions are dropping fast https:&#

This attitude is ill informed. Ireland is richer than it has ever been. Poverty and housing difficulties have nothing to do with reducing emissions. Ireland partly got rich by being a massive CO2 polluter per capita. Now we are rich it’s on

Not to mention the unreasonable length and complexity of these things. I’ve seen shorter contracts for mergers and acquisitions.

No misunderstanding, thanks for your reply. It's been a nice wee sub-thread going on here. Food for thought ;)

Thanks for fleshing out your comment. Because initially it did kind of suggest to me you were saying it burns no calories or makes _little_ difference. I agree with all you posted. > Curious though - do you track your intake with the sam

Not quite, imho. The language used here is subtle and I could be clearer myself. It talks about the paradox that suggests the work _appears_ to come from nowhere, which we should all agree is impossible, thus a paradox, not that it does act

> If you want to lose weight, it's far easier to remove 800 Cal from your diet, at least time wise, then it is to exercise 800 Cal's worth every day. That I absolutely agree with and so do my legs ;) I only found the suggestion

So this is about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_paradox I seems like it's only part of the story. If you increase exercise but also increase calorific input to match then you won't lose weight. But, t

That's a big sandwich :) Big Mac = 580 Cal. I'm going to eat lunch one way or another and for me it's going to be under 800. Skipping meals isn't really a good choice, imo, but ok.

> debunk the popular myth for my friends that exercise burns a lot of calories Can you expand on that please? Because I can tell you as a matter of fact that when I go for a run for an hour I burn well over 800 calories.

Same. One I want though is for it to remember to not auto-preview videos. YouTube refuses to remember this setting.

Incredible! So if I understand this correctly, the galaxy above in the paper is at Z=14.4 and that means it appears in the sky about as big as if it were a very small Z or roughly 350 megaparsecs away?

Wow I didn't see that. Usually it's forbidden in the terms of agreement between the merchant and the payment processor to add a surcharge for using the card so everyone else ends up subsidising it. Vienna/Austria is such a st

I find the arguments from those who say there is no crisis convincing. Progress doesn’t happen at a constant rate. We made incredible unprecedented progress in the 20th century. The most likely scenario is that to slow down for a while. Per

Aeropress is great. If you like a large mug of coffee have a try of the Clever Dripper. Had Aeropress at home and CD at work and eventually bought a CD for home because it’s so good.
