The reservoirs in BC and Quebec that were flooded were not logged. They're also the largest in NA. Williston Lake is 7th largest in the World. Manicouagan Reservoir is the 5th largest in the World. >you are suggesting that those t

There are ways to mitigate it for future dams. No, they aren't all emitted, it takes decades for trees to break down in an aerobic environment. Anaerobic is 4 times longer. Most trees in the BC/Quebec areas that were flooded take

No it won't. Trees can take 100 years to decompose in an aerobic environment. Show me a 400 year old dam.

It only looks amazing because they have never investigated whether or not their hydro power produces emissions. Based on studies where they've flooded areas without removing trees, hydro plants could be producing more GHGs than even th

Have you watched the trucks hauling logged trees down the road? They aren't exactly fuel efficient, then you haul that finished product from the mill to the lumber yard, then to the job site. The average tree sequesters 400kg of carbo

So basically the same headlines as right now, but with Robot in the title?

>This has the side benefit of modest carbon sequestration There is no way that pulling timber out of the forest and converting into a product actually sequesters anything. Hauling the wood out of the forest to the mill likely releases m

Rotting trees are good everywhere. If it's dry though, they don't really rot.

depending how you're doing it, it's actually quite difficult to properly drill a hard drive.

The security theater does nothing. They installed pilot doors that could only be opened from the inside. Can't exactly high jack a plane with box cutters anymore can you?

They can. Largest economy on earth. Just put your money where your mouth is.

Not really rotting then are they.

by soperj 5y ago
Rotting trees are great for the forest. They also don't burn. Honestly, try using a rotting log for firewood sometime. It's impossible. They suck up a lot of water, and release it slowly, as well as releasing a lot of nutrients i

Batteries have improved leaps and bounds over the last decade. Where do you think that came from?
1756.
by soperj 5y ago
Why is that in every battery article, people come to be dismissive? If you don't care, why click on the article?

it would also be a very beneficial way to plant them since corn and squash are heavy nitrogen feeders, and beans are a nitrogen fixer.

They literally domesticated many of the fruits and vegetables that feed you. Corn, Tomatoes, Peppers, Avocado, Beans, Cocoa, Peanuts, Potatoes, Squash, Quinoa, Sweet Potato, list goes on... Clearly had a lot of info on plant management.

If you've ever listened (from the outside) to an electric car going 50km/hr even, they're not quiet.

Why wouldn't they just use pig teeth for dentures? Or rat teeth?

I'm currently using an S3, have for nearly a decade. It has never dropped 15% with no use in 2 hours.

From linked xkcd what if: Gravity in low Earth orbit is almost as strong as gravity on the surface. The Space Station hasn't escaped Earth's gravity at all; it's experiencing about 90% the pull that we feel on the surface.

No, but from your multiple posts on this article, I don't know that I can take your android posts in good faith.

I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. I don't even lose 15% of my battery life in 2 hours on my galaxy S3 without using it, and it is nearly a decade old at this point.
