1·2 days agoEngineers are much the same. If you look on that site, under engineers it lists every single bullet point from agriculture workers except for the 3 hour rule.
However, despite not being entitled to it, it is typical to expect. It’s just wild to not be legally entitled to it.
3·4 days ago100% clean no, but 100% renewable is theoretically possible.
If the electric grid entirely eliminates fossil sources of energy, and the supply chain electrifies, and if the extraction equipment electrifies, and if the storage facilities are run off non-fossil fuel energy, and the manufacturing facilities, and everyone involved didn’t consume or use cattle products because of their methane emissions, and all buildings are wooden construction, and all polymers are plant-based, etc etc, then one could say a company uses 100% renewable energy.
But for practicality’s sake, 0% fossil fuel-generated electricity and heating is a good metric to call “100% renewable” for most things. If a manufacturing process inherently produces GHGs like portland cement concrete, you can adjust the definition appropriately.
And yes cap and trade strategies and whatever else are bs
I have never heard of or heard Greensleeves until today
Actual explanation
“Subject alternately fixates on each of two proffered snacks, before choosing one. [The image shows the] average path of the decision variable according to the Krajbich model for three parameter settings. The decision variable ramps toward the left or right choice boundaries, with the slope determined by the true relative subjective value of the items (here, left is preferred), but biased to slope toward the item currently being fixated. The biases depicted are: high (green), medium (red, as actually inferred from the data) or none (blue). Clocks depict the excess time spent looking at the left versus the right option at each step.”
TL;DR The leaning of the decision-maker is influenced by which choice they’re currently looking at, getting stronger with time, until a threshold is reached where the decision is made. A more eye-catching item is therefore more likely to be chosen because it gets more sight-time.
Link to article. Although technically OP’s image is from a paper that yoinked the left half of the figure to waffle on about some economics bs. But this is the original source.
Well Jerboa doesn’t even give me the option to see them when typing a comment.

There was a plan to add one, just really late in the future.
At least, before it was cancelled.
4·11 days agoI just checked my city’s library and my alma mater’s and neither have it, though at least my alma mater recognizes that it exists. But it also says there are no libraries nearby from which to request it.
2·13 days ago1 MWh/mo is not out of the ordinary for an American home. The average is 0.87 MWh/mo. Inefficient appliances, bigger houses, and poor insulation are big factors. Of course, that’s America, not China.
Am I weird for drinking neither? If you’re not used to drinking them, you have to add so much to them to make them taste good, and I just never got into it.
Very occasionally I drink pop, so that and chocolate (a lot of chocolate) are where my caffeine consumption comes from, but the caffeine isn’t the point.
Sandy Loam??? WHO IS SHE
Deflation is really really bad. On a societal level, if people expect prices to fall, they will withhold spending today in favour of tomorrow. This decreases demand, decreasing prices, accelerating deflation until collapse.
That’s it, it’s horny jail for you. This is an abnormal amount of horny.
Quebec swear words are almost all Catholicism-derived. The Tabernacle, the Host, the Chalice, the Virgin, etc.
The problem with UBI is it won’t come without the power of the people forcing it. And then when that dies down it can just as easily be taken away. If you’ve got a mass movement with that power, why would stop at a bandaid?
Of course, that would never change in the face of changing financial incentives. The world as it is is the world as it ought to be.
I had one professor who could tell almost any calculator model from 30 feet away. Other than him I never had any professor care about the specific model of calculator during an examination.
They overturned the dirt in the exclusion zone to bury the fallout so that it’s less of a possibility for it to move around. You wouldn’t want to live there, drink from the groundwater, farm there, etc.
