Charlie Brown is done with Snoopy’s shit.
4·3 months agoAs the blog post discusses, there are multiple ways to measure efficiency; energy density is one, and possibly the most important advantage of hydrocarbons. The first figure in the blog post describes another: quantity of mineral extraction per energy production. From that metric, renewables are much more efficient.
Personally, I’m not bothered by the blog post. The advantages of fossil fuels are well known - that’s why they continue to be widely used. Their main disadvantage, emissions, are also we’ll publicized. The perspective of the blog post is that there are other, less discussed metrics under which renewables have an advantage.
Great song - but the title is “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song.”
FYI - “dark side of the moon” refers to the far side of the moon (that never faces Earth). Dark here has the same meaning as in dark energy: “unknown.”
I have no answer to your actual question, but would also be interested.

Of course. I was trying to make something less useful than knowing the strides in a mile.
Thousandths of an inch are also used in some engineering applications and are called “mils.” Not to be confused with millimeters.
It’s not a good tip, but this is how I hear it:
1: One
San Fran: Seven
Cisc: Six
O: Oh
I just came up with it off the cuff, but I may use it going forward. I’ve never been able to remember feet or yards in a mile.
Also, we only measure length in bananas and fractions thereof.
And to remember the number of yards in a mile: 1 San Francisco

An anti-vaxxer failed in “doing their own research”? I don’t believe it.

…I remain prayerfully confident that I will be exonerated of all accusations leveled against me.
“Prayerfully confident”? Really?

I really considered whether I wanted to comment, but my desire to procrastinate at work won out.
At first, I misread the post you are replying to; maybe you did the same. The poster was asking if your app supports PieFed, not because PieFed fixes the issues that you identified, but because that’s the site that poster uses.
In other words, they may want to use your app, but would need it to support PieFed since that’s the site they use.
The original post is from 2017 - LLM were not in common use then.

Still couldn’t get the comma, though
