Thats how it goes when the greedy are offered blood money unfortunately.

My bad, please excuse the ignorance, you're referencing it being announced while this is discussing the finalized deal.

Wait, how THE HELL were you cabable of hearing "it weeks ago" when this took place less than 48 hours before the post?!? Shit like this is what makes heads second guess actual truth online. Folk like you care more about how cool they seem vs helping spread truth, disgracing it in the process...

With the original Beeper app you made an Apple ID through Apples website to use for setting up iMessage. This does require folks having the email in order to use iMessage, so definetly worth setting up an alias. It still works, while Beeper Mini doesn't apparently.

You should have posted it here to fill the rest of us in! Like what the hell? lol

While it didn't stop business as usual, it did bring awareness to the situation plus voice frustration with it as well. When it's David vs Goliath, David should take the small wins whenever possible.

Ya, implying recommending FOSS options is an involuntary action was tongue-in-cheek.

When I say "don't think of a panda", what do you think of? Pretty much the same thing with saying "don't recommend me FOSS options" lol

Classic example of judging a book by it's cover I guess. The fact big tech is embracing open source software more and more, you'd think this assessment should no longer be the case.

Even without being a programmer, associating Free Software with a MASSIVE purchase is bonkers.

I just learned this too, apparently the Fed gave the informant a deal too good to pass up lol

Are you expecting a 300% increase in energy consumption over six years?

Is that not an indirect benefit to more widespread use of renewables? Not just now, but even more, through the ability to find better methods to go about the process via substantially more use and funding as well.

Coal lives on private funding primarily, so in the big picture, stopping that is cutting coal off at the knee’s. With methane, regardless if it’s leaky pipes from previous consumption or active consumption, it’s one of the best moves to make by the numbers, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. What else were you expecting from the conference? These are attainable goals, I’d say.

Edit: In addition to the 300% increase in renewables also decided on at the conference as well. The conference was held in a country overflowing with oil too. Odd choice certainly, but glad we have an attainable plan which will result in benefits environmentally if followed.

So, both coal and methane are fossil fuels. This is according to the International Energy Agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Environmental Defense Fund, and Carbon Brief (UK-based group focused on climate science, climate policy, and energy policy). When it comes to methane specifically, it's the best green house gas when it comes to heat-trapping potential. So with the whole temperature rising component to global warming, it's an ideal fossil fuel to focus on, even according to MIT (https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating).

They did, the pledge includes focusing on methane emission reduction as well as putting a stop on all private funding for coal.

Are you saying applying renewables more broadly won't result in an increased rate of advancement? Utilizing them more broadly not only will lessen the current rates of oil consumption, but also allow the processes to become more efficient. Additionally, it's not just a single renewable energy source, but many different approaches, making the three fold increase in application beneficial across many different areas of focus. Not to mention the uptick in jobs which will be associated with larger scale use. The states could sure use it, especially after the drastic loss of coal based jobs. But this is just my stance, I'm well aware some folks don't assess situations logically.

I was taught μm stands for micrometers, which are 1,000 times smaller than millimeters. Nanometers(nm) are 1,000 times smaller than micrometers(μm), which means nanometers are CRAZY small!

This paper points out the filtration of SARS-CoV-2 isn't clear cut whatsoever. Papers stating it could be filtered from the air all demonstrated to have publication bias. The thing about viruses is they are super tiny. On average, a virus is 10x smaller than a bacterial cell. This makes filtration much more difficult to accomplish.

The study found the most effective methods for air purification were germicidal lights, ionisers, and electrostatic cleaners. With HEPA specifically, the filters can snag objects as small as 0.3μm. However, the largest viruses are 500nm or 0.5μm in diameter. Based on the numbers, HEPA filtration is capable of removing the largest viruses from the air, but that's a small minority of all viruses. SARS-CoV-2 comes in somewhere between 60nm/0.06μm to 140nm/0.14μm in diameter, meaning HEPA filtration can not remove it from the air.
