I remember in Tim Ferriss's "The 24 Hour Body" he had a section about Michael Phelps, who was reported to have consumed 12000 calories a day when training - the explanation one of his subjects came up with was that (a lot of)

Absolutely, it always mystifies me that the cost-effectiveness of renewables and EVs doesn't appeal even to some sense of self-interest in people who dismiss climate change. I often bring up the fact that, with the mechanical efficienc

This how it works, the Democrats invest in the people's well-being and the Republicans exploit the resulting healthy workforce to concentrate wealth.

Okay, well that's interesting, it at least disproves the assumption that isitdownrightnow is definitive.. maybe they're subject to the same issues somehow, like if they're in the same geo. I saw someone mention in another HN

Sorry if off-topic, but does this link work for anyone else? I haven't been able to reach archive.ph or archive.today from Canada in probably over 6 months, even with a vpn connected to different countries. However, the archive website

It's helped a lot with paperwork, the way you can book trips, order and get stuff delivered, sign up for services online banking immediately etc. But I agree with your point in that it's also highly overrated in terms of its impor

Let's see if it holds up better than the LK-99 stuff. Looks like there's been something like this before, not sure what happened with that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4521560

"The fossil fuel companies just serve their customers" They also put out disinformation and lobby politicians.. That's not to say that we're not personally responsible though - we are. We were warned and did nothing.

I've always found this notion to be a bit ridiculous and don't understand why it gets so much traction. Every time the LHC or CERN smash particles together, there's some software somewhere generating all the subatomic particl

That's good to know, on both fronts. I'm glad people are switching on to the issues with plastics alright, even if it's a bit later than it ought to be - slapping a recycling icon on everything and telling people to carry on

Of course plastic itself is a huge issue, and a gross misuse of an amazing technology IMO. On the one hand it's an amazing material that has been vital to technological progress by enabling electrification, plumbing and all sorts of ad

I wonder how the economics of drilling will work as we hopefully get away from fossil fuels for energy/transport to curtail global warming. (If carbon capture at the source of the emissions worked it'd be less of a problem but tha

What books have you read? Nine contrarians, some of whom are funded by oil industry sponsored think tanks, others who have zero scientific qualifications (Peter Thiel B.A, Alex Epstein B.A, I mean, come on), don't stack up against the

It's no more possible for me to believe that than it would be to believe the earth is flat or that god exists.

I'd be happier if I didn't believe in global warming too.

Yeah, noise can have a detrimental effect on wellbeing. I've never tried active noise cancelling headphones but my 3M Peltor X5A headset earmuffs are a lifesaver. They're big and not the best for very extended periods, but when yo

Cool game, reminds me a bit of the research options in Stellaris. One thing I found missing was anything to do with reducing plastic waste specifically - there's an "Expand recycling" infrastructure option but I don't th

It's a non-subsidised product competing with a subsidised product (meat), that's got to be a big part of it struggling.
