Also, what portion of the decayed tree becomes soil. Sure some CO2 is released back out, but the net increase in soil over the tree's life is where the savings are.

Anaerobic vs aerobic decay is largely about the difference in short-term impacts. Anaerobic decay releases methane which is much more potent than CO2 in the short term, but naturally breaks down into CO2 over a hundred or so years, which is a long time for the generations of humans dealing with climate change, but a blip on the timescales of forests.

Hard to fault them though, hard to imagine they are expecting high enough sales volume to drive the price down

Agreed, kind of a bold assertion to throw out without proof against a highly rated international charity

Charity Watch A-

Looks like there were some issues with transparency 5-10 years ago (Google "Pro Publica Red Cross"), but I'm not finding any recent follow-ups and they're scoring high marks for transparency now. They pretty consistently spend ~90% of every dollar donated on programs and are generally well-respected.

Are they a perfect charity? Probably not. But are they doing good? Absolutely.

If you want to donate money elsewhere, by all means go for it. Doctors Without Borders, and World Central Kitchen are great international charities, and local food banks in impacted communities can make your dollar go further than just about anyone else.

But also remember money isn't the only donation the Red Cross accepts - as with any major disaster, blood will be in short supply, and there is unequivocally no better network for blood donations than the Red Cross.

Something something paradox of tolerance. Something something hate speech.

What kind of programs would benefit most from being ported to retro consoles?

Obviously Doom.

I like impossible nuggs, and Gardein 7-Grain

Quorn is good but (I was surprised to find) not vegan - they still have eggs. Not the worst concession, but FYI for anyone looking through the comments for plant based options.

I had Franzia and it was horrible! Bitter and it took on plastic flavors from the bag it was stored in.

Colour me skeptical of wine.

For the ADHD crowd this is often literally how it works.

No stimulants? My restless leg will shake this whole building down. With stimulants? I can sit there at my desk, happy as a clam.

This complex will be world’s first large-scale “green steel” project, according to H2 Green Steel, the Swedish company behind the multi-billion-dollar mill.

Sarcasm aside, I know EAF has its challenges, but this article really acts like coal-fired plants are the only alternative to hydrogen.

The boycott makes a innocent sufferer of the bus company. Had the company defiled city and state laws its franchise would have been canceled. The quarrel of the Negroes is with the law. It is wrong to hold the company hostage.

The white man's economic artillery is far superior, better emplaced, and commanded by more experienced gunners.

Second, the white man holds all the offices of government machinery. There will be white rule for as far as the eye can see.

Are these not the facts of life?

Let us be specific, concrete. What is the cost is the bus boycott to the Negro community? Does any Negro leader doubt that the resistance to the registration of Negro voting has been increased? Is economic punishment of the bus company - an innocent hostage to the laws and customs of Alabama - worth the price of a block to the orderly registration of Negro voters?

What I'm trying to say here is, fuck off Washington Post with your "why don't you protest the way I want, quietly in the corner" bullshit.
