Carefully read the comment you're replying to

Relevant xkcd (my first time posting an image - fingers crossed)

No, it's cooler than that! All these vegetables are cultivars of the same species (Brassica oleracea). Citrus trees are different species with common origins.

Ah yes, the US Food, Drink, and Drug Administration (FDDA).

No offense intended, just poking fun.

It's odd; in the old episodes, 5-4 includes ad bumps (e.g., "It feels like a good time to take a break") but then immediately resumes the episode("And we're back") without playing an ad. Maybe they switched advertising partners and didn't bother to update old content?

I'm on the RSS feed (not Spotify, Apple, etc.) and was able to listen to most of the back catalog without ads. When I was catching up, ads weren't playing in episodes older than about 1 year.

I had a similar ad experience with The Dollop, another good podcast.

A good podcast. They do have ads though.

True - even stranger

Strange - it seems that the NSFW tag doesn't federate between Mbin and Lemmy?

Another day, another quirk of the Fediverse.

Did you mean to comment on this post? It's not showing as NSFW to me

Bravo - very well-reasoned response.

US mid-Atlantic: Pricing is elevated, but strange; some eggs that are usually higher cost now cost less than the typically lower cost eggs. For example (all for dozen large eggs):

Store brand, conventional: $6.93

Store brand, cage free: $4.95

Store brand, organic free range: $4.59

Eggland's Best (premium brand): $4.99

No problem - cheers.

From the page that you linked:

The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.

If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.

its—possessive adjective of it

it’s—contraction for “it is”

The nature of the object doesn't change which form to use (which should make it easier to determine which is correct), and the correct form is not a debate.

Sure, language changes, but for now that's the accepted rule.

Got me there

This was the issue the one time we lost heat. Now the service is company replaces it every year regardless - it's a low cost part that can bring the whole system down.

Btw, it's "thermocouple" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

What's interesting about the facility in the article is that it's not capturing carbon from fossil fuels: it's capturing CO2 generated from the fermentation of ethanol. That means the CO2 came from plants (corn), which is known as biogenic CO2. If low carbon electricity is used to capture biogenic CO2, the net result is a lowering of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. That's in addition to the energy content of the ethanol, which could displace fossil fuels.

Carbon capture isn't the sole solution, but could be part of it.

In this case, the carbon is being captured is a concentrated stream resulting from ethanol fermentation (point source capture). It's more efficient than capturing carbon from the air (direct air capture) due to the much higher initial concentration.
