>Activision blizzards is the third biggest game publisher that's pretty much making exclusive a third of the whole market
Hahahahahahahaha!! You can't do basic math you genius!! If the third largest publisher was a third of the market that means the next two are each more than a third and together would represent MORE than the WHOLE market!! Great fucking argument mate!!! Especially when it's not even third and Sony has more game revenue than MS and ActiBlizzard combined... I'm sure you are very concerned about Sony's market share though!

Pretty sure Nintendo is the worse culprit in platform exclusives.

Because with a generator you have to constantly bring more fuel. With this you can have supply line free electricity with just a relatively small receiver.

Knocking out a solar grid doesn't cause a nuclear accident with decades long consequences now does it?

>Way cheaper and faster than any nuclear plant could ever be built, and way more secure than a nuclear plant in a region racked by terrorism - but watch how this sub of fission circlejerkers whine about it.
As compared to the anti nuclear circle jerkers that come in threads and start preemptively attacking people before they even comment?? Okay loony tune you do you!

Organic compounds, molecules with carbon in them. Not organic material in the context of dead remains of organisms.

No they aren't... We aren't even sure we can meet EV needs let alone powering the whole grid.

Reply to comment by UncommonHouseSpider in The road to low-carbon concrete: Humanity's love affair with cement and concrete results in massive CO2 emissions. by filosoful
No it doesn't. The albedo of concrete is quite high compared to many other building materials. And is also higher than many natural features including grass. The only reason a grass field is cooler is because of the evaporation cooling from moisture in the plant. The main driving force of heat islands is the lack of evaporative cooling from building materials and the low albedo of asphalt road surfaces.

A strong, weather resistant material that can be used as a liquid until put into place and left to cure. If it had been invented recently it would be considered a technological miracle with just how useful it is.

There be a lot of robots with guns in Ukraine right now you know... The world is watching this. The world will be putting guns on robots. I want the best gunbots on my side thanks. So I would like to see the patent system enforced fairly regardless of wether or not they are making gunbots.

What possible reason would they have for doing that??? I get it the CCP is indeed a terrible government, but they do have reasons for doing what they do beyond "BE EVIL FOR NO REAOSON!!" I mean how fucking off the deep end are you that you would even think such comic book level villainy actually exists?? They do plenty of actual bad shit to try to spread their influence abroad and crack down on and control their own citizenry that you don't need to reach to such absurdities. All you accomplish is delegitimizing any arguments you make about it in the future by allowing them to be dismissed as coming from an ignorant sinophobe. Use your brain...

Reply to comment by THP_music in Researchers fed microalgae on leftover coffee grounds to produce high-quality biodiesel | It could decrease reliance on palm oil to produce biofuel. by chrisdh79
Combustive fuels aren't a problem actually. The problem is increasing greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. We are doing that mainly through combustion of sequestered fossil fuels but that doesn't mean all combustion would do the same thing. For example in this scenario these biofuels are using carbon that is in the Earths active carbon cycle. So they are growing plants that are absorbing CO2, using those plants to make a fuel, and burning that fuel that releases that CO2 back into the atmosphere. This process is carbon neutral, the amount of carbon being released by combustion is equal to the amount absorbed during plant growth. No new carbon added no increase in global temperature. Other forms of combustion like hydrogen don't even release CO2 as an output instead only releasing hot steam. Obviously hydrogen also doesn't add to global temps. The chemical process that drives the curing of cement that we use in all our concrete releases CO2. No combustion needed there and we still get greenhouse gases. So boiling the problem down to combustion bad is not only untrue it is very unhelpful in targeting other massive sources of GHG emissions.

That is, in fact, exactly what the person you responded to was saying. You just chose to take a knee jerk interpretation and assume that's what they meant.
