   Seems like US average is 0.855 pounds of CO2 emissions per kWh so this process looks like a significant win. Also grinding a ton of rocks doesn't use much energy if its just 14 kwh... https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs

   I use marketplace and a few groups because sadly people have migrated to those from other platforms.

   I think the surface of the melt will oxidize so you might need to cover it with inert gas but something like this might be possible. One issue is that the crystals might want to melt if they grow downwards into the molten liquid. I think th

   Depending on what services they provide that might not be terrible, its basically high end art gallery margins, but for consumer products with low margins that seems unsustainable. I'm curious how much AliExpress takes.

   Olive oil is also frequently rancid. I frequently find packaged nuts and trail mix routinely rancid.

   Anything is probably possible eventually, you could engineer a fungus to grow and taste like meat. Is it economical and possible with current technology, maybe not.

    In the west we subsidize water which indirectly subsidizes beef production.

    I'm not sure the plastic use is super relevant at lab scale, as someone who has worked in lab cell culture the amount of plastic waste is enormous from all the single use individually packed sterile equipment. However, I don't thi

    Neat!, a quick search doesn't come up with anywhere to buy it in North America, also never seen this.

    That moth is really neat! The cottonwood dagger was what led me to inaturalist as I had no idea what it was. Been posting stuff since and learned a lot.

    That's true for a lot of business that still can be a good business model, lots in medicine, for example: lifetime vaccinations, and cures for diseases like HepC.

    I think Youtube is a counter example. There is absolutely amazing content and it hasn't turned into a feed, although it does have that stuff (personally, I find TikTok more enjoyable for that type of content/experience).

    For ABV you'd usually use refractive index, there are low cost non-electronic refractometers, you can also use density. Alcohol doesn't absorb much light so generally not done by UV or IR.

    I'm not sure about certification but there is a lot of overhead in designing, producing, selling and servicing products. This is basically a prototype. It will probably work for a while but will be difficult to maintain if something go

    Its just academic research papers that get brief press coverage. Its very hard to actually commercialize these and compete (performance and economics) with the incumbent technologies. Some stuff makes it in specialized applications (satelli

    Doesn't curation imply the full collection is not on display? I guess it depends on the definition you use.

    Those often support researchers and aren't just warehouses but it is a bit disappointing how much of the really neat stuff you can't see without special access. I really enjoy seeing rock and mineral collections and got a tour of

    Very cool, if you don't care about seeing the condensed steam this could be done with X-rays by adding Sodium metatungstate or very toxic thallium formate/malonate to the water. You could also probably replace the water with bormo

    Sorry, I guess my brief summary wasn't clear, I basically do what you say and avoid the discussion as long as possible. You are 100% correct you are in a much better position when the technical folks want you vs some random recruiter.

    I just went to the place with the lowest historic cloud cover for that time of year. I'd like to do that again for 2024 but it means the desert in central mexico...
