In general a trademark is only valid within a field. So Dove (chocolate) and Dove (shampoo) are not in conflict, and neither is Delta (air travel) with Delta (plumbing).

Yes, it's impractically high: we exhale about 1kg of carbon daily, so your plants collectively need to be getting about 1kg heavier daily to absorb that.

Bringing in external air (and filtering it, if it's polluted) will be way cheaper than scrubbing CO2 at current levels.

The old doctrine was that CO2 was a proxy for air quality, and the (somewhat overblown title) is about seeing CO2 additionally as having a causal effect. For example, under the "proxy" model, if you're worried about infection

"Immediately" can mean a bunch of different things in a driving context! Here it means "within ten seconds". Which is both short and long: it's long enough that many of the things you might want to do that take yo

If you just have water at the bottom of the hill you'll need to build a giant tank on the top of the hill. The best spots for pumped hydro have a natural depression elevated above a water source, so you can use that instead. (I agree

The way it currently works is: 1. You make a post that includes example.com/cats 2. Your post is federated to the instances your followers are on. 3. Those instances fetch example.com/cats in a fully automated way, and observe its

In casual speech it's common for people to use "fired" to cover both true firing and layoffs. It's not a great ambiguity, but when people talk about a whole team it's ~always a layoff.

I don't think a baguette recipe is 0.6 by their definition? Their "0.60" would mean 3C of water to 5C flour. I'd expect a baguette to be around 0.50 (1C of water to 2C of flour). (They're not using baker's pe
