That's the best part, when you meet people of the language you are learning you can say the odd quirky shit from Duolingo and they'll absolutely love it. What, you are an apple?? A dog is wearing three pullovers?? More relevant for beginners who can say a handful of stuff but can't yet hold a proper conversation.
It's not like Duolingo is just randomly generated sentences that make no sense either. They are carefully sprinkled in to break up the routine and make it a bit of fun.
Meh, I can understand it to an extent. Depends on the severity.
Someone at my workplace, rather than having a meal in their break, just keep crunching raw carrots at their desk for hours on end. I don't think I'd complain to management if I was sitting close, but I'd sure as hell ask to be moved somewhere far, far away from the carrot nutcase.
Lmao that was when it was still kinda interesting. You couldn't possibly imagine how bad seasons 3 to 4 (if memory serves) were if you only know the first episodes.
The hot plate 100% has a safety switch that turns it off at a couple degrees above boiling. So it won't break but it also won't sufficiently cook the chicken with pieces this large...
That's the whole point, what good would it be to compare equivalent vehicles, when people don't drive equivalent vehicles? They drive bigger and heavier vehicles on average, negating efficiency gains of newer vehicles.
Loads of people love to pretend an NPP is just a hut with a magic gem inside delivering an endless amount of power for free. In reality they are huge, highly complex, high-security
facilities that take decades and billions to build and need to be operated and maintained by loads of highly trained staff in 24/7 shift operations. This isn't to downplay their merit of providing CO2 emission free power, but for the love of god please appreciate the enormous effort and expense this is achieved with, especially when comparing it to renewables.
Coming straight from "unless 100% of people abstain 100% I'm not calling it change"-folks. There's significant shifts in both of these issues. Meat more so, or leading ahead compared to cars, but the fact that some people aren't going to drop one or either doesn't change anything about that.
So maybe efforts to reduce the impact of those kinds of things aren’t necessarily wasted.
Not only are they not wasted, they are absolutely necessary. What's important to understand is, however, that large parts of the negative impact of cars aren't affected by EVs at all. It's not just internal combustion engine exhaust pollution, it's the waste of space, gigatons of asphalt for roads and parking, microplastics from rubber tires driven endless miles by a billion people, traffic congestions and the never-ending demand for another lane to fix them, ""cities"" sprawling out so far that everything is too far to get to by any means other than driving, pedestrian (if such a thing even still exists in your neck of the woods) safety, noise, socioeconomic factors such as the high upkeep costs vs low-income population who are reliant on a car in a car dependant world, ...
We have to transition to EVs either way, but it's not going to fix anything meaningful. And that's just the neutral outlook, a real danger we're facing is that through car manufacturers' greenwashing that is already in full swing, we coax ourselves to a good eco conscience over our no-emissions cars and continue growing the dependency, which would eventually increase the impact. The only real way of reducing the impact is by reducing cars and car dependency where it's possible. And people are, very slowly, waking up to the fact that this is more often the case than they were led to believe by lobby driven media and politics of the last 60 years.
CSGO is still in CS2's beta channel on Steam as csgo_demo_viewer or something like that, but obviously limited to community servers/offline play, no official dedicated servers.
You can't transfer it entirely, could even crash your game from my friend's experience. Best pick out your most important commands, put them in an autoexec.cfg for CS2, and see what works and which commands have become invalid.
And what is the problem with a gas hybrid heat pump? It's an ideal solution for places that get very cold, use the gas furnace for the weeks when it's below -5 and use the heat pump for many months around that. It's one of the most efficient ways to use a heat pump as you don't have to bully it through the coldest part of winter with very bad COPs, you're only using it when it's most efficient. And when your heating period is very long, that will only benefit your seasonal COP. So of course it's more expensive than a simple furnace, but it will also save loads of energy and redeem itself after 5-10 years.
The best part about this is you already have an AC, aka a heat pump, but you don't use it for heating?
