Looks like a lousy bet.

"Hydrogen can be produced by several means. Most hydrogen produced today is gray hydrogen, made from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR). This process accounted for 1.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. Low-carbon hydrogen, which is made using SMR with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen), or through electrolysis of water using renewable power (green hydrogen), accounted for less than 1% of production. "Virtually all of the 100 million tonnes[5] of hydrogen produced each year is used in oil refining (43% in 2021) and industry (57%)"

Once again, the impact of subsidized industries is accidentally underestimated.

Go ahead and send me ads, and I'll just block your site ... never go there except when someone tries to trick me into it, and then my SITE-BLOCKER will refuse for me. Our now and future business IS OVER.

The first thing occurs to me is this: who decided that what you are born is a 'value'? People who say gay is a lifestyle are either naive or using it as an excuse to preserve their ignorance.

We don't get to choose our skin color when we're born, or how tall, or what foods we like. But somehow, if you can't see it, it must be a choice. Wrong And why, in our 'modern' cultures, are we so 'worried about what's normal', when world cultures back as far as history goes just got it.

Hey, Always at war ... wanna talk about Degenerate?

Maybe you're new enough that you haven't found the Mint forums,

https://forums.linuxmint.com/

the best source for fixing obscure Mint problems, and full of Cinnamon users -and- a decent search. I only wonder how many people use Nemo from the command-line.

This noted meteorologist says average highs around these parts is 77-79F. And that it'll be about 5 deg. or so warmer for 10 days ... but "The kind of pattern that makes western Oregon and Washington warmer than normal is not associated with heatwaves..."

Yeah, congrats and well done!

I wish it were possible to search back in time and see what's been done ... not a strong point of this program, it's not a database much.

Also on this date in 1969: Mercury Records releases a new artist's strange single about astronaut 'Major Tom'. The cut includes Rick Wakeman playing the mellotron.

At first the single doesn't sell well. It's the lead track on David Bowie's second album; released on Nov. 14. The album gets mixed reviews.

14 years later on Jan. 3 1983, a very-well-produced German-language song called 'Major Tom (Coming Home)' is released. By now, everybody knows about Major Tom. It's quickly a #1 in central Europe. When the English-language version is released on Sep. 24, it does well. #1 in Canada! #4 in South Africa! So well that Schilling makes several re-mixes in the next 20 years.

During the UEFA Championship in the summer of 2024, the original version of "Major Tom" re-enters the Top Ten of the German Single Charts after more than 40 years

Neat video about a remarkable home. Starting in 1906! 10 acres! ... inspired by the catacombs of Rome ... subterranean fish pond ... I'm not much of a tourist but it'd be great to see this, wow.

Reminds me of another India beat-the-heat tech that I read was widespread there for centuries.

Those who've ever been in a root cellar or basement are excused. You make a hole in the ground, then go down in it. Underground temperatures world-wide hover around 50-60 degrees all year long.

Make a BIG hole in the ground, and build stairs that people can use to go down into it. Heat rises, so not a problem.

It was a decade ago when California became the first state in the nation to ban single-use plastic bags, ushering in a wave of anti-plastic legislation from coast to coast.

But in the years after California seemingly kicked its plastic grocery sack habit, material recovery facilities and environmental activists noticed a peculiar trend: Plastic bag waste by weight was increasing to unprecedented levels.

According to a report by the consumer advocacy group CALPIRG, 157,385 tons of plastic bag waste was discarded in California the year the law was passed. By 2022, however, the tonnage of discarded plastic bags had skyrocketed to 231,072 — a 47% jump. Even accounting for an increase in population, the number rose from 4.08 tons per 1,000 people in 2014 to 5.89 tons per 1,000 people in 2022.

The problem, it turns out, was a section of the law that allowed grocery stores and large retailers to provide thicker, heavier-weight plastic bags to customers for the price of a dime.

“Everybody thinks if you're an actor, and certainly if you're an actor and on a television series, you must be doing very well,” Koenig said. “Well, I was barely making more than minimum the first season. The second season I was on the show … I had a contract. I was paid a week's wage whether I worked a day or a week. So I made a little bit more. Whereas I made $10,000 for the whole year in 1967, I made $11,000 in 1968. Well, that'll only go so far.”
