Our wildlife gets such a bad rap! π
Sure we have some bitey and stingy animals but the overall fatality rate is very, very low. Here are some figures (I couldn't find any that were more up-to-date) from a quick search. Look at the animal that causes the most deaths. It's one you no doubt have in your country too.
You might want to encourage your friends to get Mastodon accounts. Mastodon is federated like Lemmy, and there's a mastodon.au instance. There's a beginners guide here: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-use-mastodon-social-beginners-guide
There's some irony to this being posted on aussie.zone, country of a million killer animals.
I hate seeing these posts on Facebook.
Your first mistake was using Facebook.
The fact that they've already got a solution that allows the bird to stay safe and the renewable energy to go ahead is so great. I just hope their ability to detect the migrating birds and successfully stop the turbines to protect them actually works.
The video that I watched? It was from How to Drink, which iirc he said he decided to try and make his video after watching a video that talked about speeding up extracts via ultrasonic cleaner, but I don't recall what he said what was the video he watched.
sounds like the thought emporium?
The AI scam is going to crash long before this is built. And the global economy with it. The half completed mess will be sheltering the homeless. Anyone pushing this just labelled themselves a moron or scam artist. Not a reason to abandon local resistance. It sends a powerful message.
Yeah, reducing has always been the first step in the chain, followed by reuse, and then finally recycling.
Small win though, keep it up team.
I'm glad they included this snippet in the article:
While recycling is one part of the solution to reducing Australia's waste footprint, RMIT sustainable development expert Usha Iyer-Raniga said it was time to consider systemic changes that would reduce the waste itself.
"You can't just rely on recycling," Professor Iyer-Raniga said.
"You want to be a society where eventually, you don't want to create waste."
It's not a call to action of: Buy more soft plastic for us to recycle! It should be: You can now trust us to recycle any soft plastic you have, but society needs to reduce production and consumption as well.
If this reduction is done successfully then the recycling plants will be in a weird spot of needing to plan to reduce throughput/capacity down the road.
But yeah, I'm also glad soft recycling is back and better.
I thought that was a bit further north but thatβs still pretty dry climate.
Yeah, thought SA pollies pulled the technology and innovation bullshit.
We need a big diatomaceous earth dust storm to hit it, right in the intakes.
Are we dead yet?
Wow fuck that's a lot of them that died
I already do that and have been doing so for decads. We need more people to do so.
Three things really (some over lap with the article)
Vote Green, not to get the Greens into power per se as they but to move the Overton Window, every other party id abject failure, Volunteer to help them out if you're okay being thay visibake.
Don't fly
Cycle and public tranport, not a car
If you do nothing else, 1 is by far the most important as it moves the entire policy space.
Optimal drinking temperature is only about 125 though
I don't think the "companies making ready-to-drink coffee products at industrial scale" that article is talking about this being designed for are running a 1500 watt appliance for 15 minutes a day.
They're thinking more that factories won't need to use traditional extractors which generally need to heat stuff to high temperatures to make coffee milk drinks and soluble instant coffee, etc.
It's not actually leaving the coffee hot, though.
If I understand it correctly it should be primarily useful in methods attempting to extract flavour from something. Maybe tea, spices like cinnamon, maybe vanilla but thats fairly soft so it mightn't work very well.
Was thinking microwave or reheating things evenly from within, particularly liquids like soup.
Well, usually the heat is being used to actually chemically change the food. Coffee beans are pre-roasted and you're just using hot water to get the coffee into the liquid. It's not like this technique could be used to cook meat or vegetables. Liquefy them, possibly.
Begs the question, can it be used in conjunction with other cooking methods to reduce energy usage?
Professional espresso machines have to keep ~10L of water at boiling for the entire day. This absolutely could save a lot of energy.
