Not with that attitude!

Now lay the risks out and develop a resource plan and strategy for the next 5 years and present it to the board and welp it's in their hand now and sorry the answer is 'review in a year and turn that oil production up' :clint:

Asking individuals to sacrifice their lifestyles constantly is incredibly draining and annoying when the factory 20 miles away outputs more CO2 in a week than you could in a year, and the government doesn’t give a poo poo about the factory.

Or the watering restrictions on lawns (I wouldn't say I like lawns, but I digress) and shorter showers for the individual, but the golf course down the road gets to use 200,000,000 gallons of water a year so that some rich old assholes can hit a white ball into a hole in the ground.

Woah woah

My factory doesn't generate carbon

It just consumes the power of 2,250 houses to grow weed worse than you would outside for free.

it's not that loving hidden, did you not realize you're in the microplastics thread???

But where does it say it's in soap or shampoo??

I made it for a few years and the amount of processed palm oil products is absolutely disgusting. Tonnes and tonnes of shipping processed oil products and wasting poor countries to subside the costs. The big hang ups were the preservatives, like parabens, but evidence was mixed. Most companies now go for vitamin E and a wide variety of novel poisons that no-one has had time to work up anger over.

It's mostly made to support steel manufacturing, so it's a huge industry with most countries producing it.

I think you mean, for long term storage...

underground...

once they clear out that nasty oil to make room.

I'm sure it'll be used responsibly for things like carbonation of drinks (holds it for weeks to months!) or to grow vegetables (where 5% of it might get held for weeks to months while it gets shipped to consumers, the rest goes back to air).

If it's real lucky it'll go into instrument gas or soda streams and it might be held for months to years

Is this a cool time to remind that 6 sigma is a 1 in million chance with the probability centred?

6 standard deviations to one tail is just under 2 in a billion chance of random in very poor stats language.

Hence the very poor stats comment.

Point wasn't that stats are God, they're a reference tool at best.

Point was that for all the 6 sigma lol japes this is even worse.

while mostly true in a sense, the problem is applying statistics (and statistical analysis) to temporal data, on a very limited data set with no actual model behind it, is just profoundly wrong. you can't just use stdev() and call it good. you can't just summon up a normal distribution standard deviation.

actually, it's less than wrong: it's meaningless.

data science is hella dumb

Also lol the fuckin graph had the stdev on it man ffs

Oh yeah, totally agree. Who doesn't love numbering to surety when the application is plain wrong though?

Spending half a million dollars piling up a bunch of unstabilized sand instead of doing even the slightest bit of "google the wikipedia page and skim it" level of research on how sand dunes are held together really gives me hope for our ability to successfully adapt to further challenges

I bet they got a quote of $750k for a proper retaining wall, went "hah, my business brain genius knows that's a rip, we could do it with just sand!"

Then spent nearly as much to have it fail in 3 days.

if plants want to be weak and demand a specific temperature range before they'll grow they should just evolve. Fish did and look at them, they are thriving.




Hold on i'm getting a call

Highly evolved fish are destroying the planet and God right as we speak.

What's a highly evolved plant ever done? Live for an ice age or two? Weak.

for reference, seawater has a dissolved ion concentration of 35 grams per liter, or 35 parts per thousand. 154,000 chloride parts per million is 154 parts per thousand. the wells are creating marshes of water that's more than four times saltier than seawater

edit: probably acidic as gently caress too

lol, assuming sodium chloride that 'water' is a quarter salt

and I bet it's not just sodium
