Isn't this something that ThinkPads have supported all the time?

Italian rice also doesn't have the methane problem.

Brown rice might not cause diabetes (if other rice does at all), but the methane from production will be the same.

It's unfortunate that sources are not specified, but the methane emissions from rice paddies are well known, I believe. I didn't find absolute numbers, but OWID does list them as significant (though less than from animal): https:

One issue is methane emissions from the rice paddies, which is a rice-specific phenomenon which you wouldn't have growing wheat, millet etc.

I think potatoes is what the Chinese government was already promoting for some years.

According to the bar chart in the article, chocolate and coffee are also big factors. Why are these not talked about more? I'm guessing their impact is mostly from deforestation. Does somebody know more?

Sounds great. I see this is still a professional place with hired staff etc. The website is cute: I like that the image thumbnails show cropped parts rather than scaled summaries.

Good luck! Be aware that suburbia exists in Germany as well (I'm still stuck in it).

Can you say more about that Kita's organization? We moved away from Berlin to the south and hope to find a Kindergarden for our 2nd child, but there's not really any guarantees.

It's Device Pixel Ratio, which I found in the menu with the 3 vertical dots on the upper right corner, after enabling the device thing.

One of the benefits of implementing your own module finder and loader is that you could use a separate file extension to avoid confusion with actual Python code.

True, but I think that source transformation on import are already supported in Python ("officially") based on importlib [0-1]. Here's an example use cases where the author is trying to create a Python enum from Thrift specs:

I use icebreaker brand, made of merino wool. They are among the most expensive, but I can wear the long underpants for weeks without them smelling bad.

A great resource for optimization with decision diagrams is the website by Willem-Jan van Hoeve from Carnegie Mellon [1]. They go beyond binary (the M in MDD stands for multi-valued) and they derive primal heuristics and relaxations from cr

I think the parent comment was not (only) about facilities close to the coast, but, more importantly, at a low altitude, more prone to floods. Couldn't the launch facilities be constructed near the coast, but at higher altitude, say on

Last time I checked, Ted was still alive, serving his prison sentence. But I understand he receives letters and answers them.

It's not even just about children. When I went to the US for a research visit, I didn't have a car, because my bed and breakfast was in walking distance to the lab (there was even a bus). So, naturally, I walked to a nearby restau

I believe this to be similar to Epicurus' excuse [1]: He couldn't publicly say that there are no gods as creators, because that would have been blasphemy. But he wanted to take away the fear that everybody had of punishment by god

So, you're saying, hopefully we will soon have "abundant supplies of cheap GHG emission-free energy" and no other resource scarcity to support that infrastructure? I count myself as sympathetic (but also skeptical) towards th

The subtitle (or supertitle?) says "Debunking degrowth", implying that the idea of degrowth is that no decoupling is possible and that proponents of degrowth promote negative growth as measured in GDP per capita. From my limited u

Reading some other comments, I get the feeling that adjusting hydraulic brakes may not actually be tricky, so it's probably just the novelty for me.

by leethargo 4y ago
What about hydraulic brakes, though? These require specialized tools to maintain, which are so expensive that no amateur will afford them (for the rare occasions). I think it's the only component that I wouldn't know how to adjust
