  • They typically sink and they don’t have that particular scent component. Apparently, I’ve been living with bad info on buoyancy apparently because a couple decades Oprah said it’s supposed to float. As for fat intake, I cycle on and off with keto (high fat, low carb) but can’t say these farts occur during keto. I would also note it’s some scent very specific to Wendy’s nugs that I don’t smell anywhere else. Maybe it’s just a particular spice? It’s not present in the fries so I don’t think it’s specifically the oil. I appreciate your educated guess. I was hoping literally anyone else would have this experience. My wife concurs about the similarity of smells but the production is solely my talent.






  • Modifying the dam isn’t the issue, you need to make sure the upstream area can be flooded. Not all rivers are in a canyon. You need a sizeable lake and consider how catastrophic an overflow would be. Then you also have to consider the effect downstream because you will likely cause a minor drought persistently since not all dams will dump into the ocean. So yes, I understand that “hydro” is both a source and a battery, but they are really 2 entirely different systems based on your other categorizations.

    Same thing with the biomass. One system makes trees, one system burns wood.

    The graphic isn’t particularly wrong, it’s just splitting some items and combining others inconsistently.


  • I think you’re reading into it correctly. It’s an inaccurate depiction. The hydro line is what makes it fuzzy. A dam is a source but has no storage. A reservoir is not a source but has storage. They are separate devices meaning this needs two separate lines for hydro.

    I imagine biomass is exactly the same situation, but I have no idea what OP is trying to use. Maybe I’m just uneducated, but it doesn’t sound like common knowledge. Still my assumption would be that there’s a source system to grow/maintain biomass and a separate system to extract that energy.

    If those two items stayed as-is, then I can strap a battery directly to wind or solar and give them green check marks in both categories.


  • The recent trend of Halloween decoration is swinging towards Christmas decorations. Just flood your yard with a Halloween theme made of every item you can afford rather than trying to set an unsettling mood (for the people with more than a few decorations). Maybe I’m too stuck up, maybe I overrate the spookiness of my display. But there’s a ton of absurdly overpriced props with the world’s worst speakers for sale in Spirit. I really noticed it when the home depot “#12ftskeleton” prop went so viral they put the hashtag on the box (still not convinced it wasn’t viral marketing).









  • And the cheating will be tolerated promoted because they seriously beleive the other side is cheating. “Trump got more votes in 2020 than any prior candidate” is proof enough. Certainly can’t be that he’s such a polarizing, vile piece of shit that actually scared more non-voting people to vote tod defeat him, and they certainly can’t beleive Biden actually holds the vote record (note the key use of “prior” in trump’s claim). They really think the orange coastal elite is somehow on the working man’s side. The same cheeto that has declined to pay every contractor on his towers. The same cheese puff that couldn’t sell steaks. The same crayon that couldn’t find profit in a casino.



  • Ultimately, they can be, but there’s lots of differences between them once they reach the bucket you buy. They have different adhesion qualities, but that could be addressed with an appropriate primer. They have different final finish surface requirements, which could be an issue for how the paint works. I remember seeing dragonfly-wing-style paint that was white when viewed perfectly straight buy blue when viewed at any off angle due to a microscopic vertical grid of blue walls. There may also be a required clearcoat component that may not be compatible between the two surfaces. Metal paint is also designed to handle the flex of metal where as concrete paint would barely be concerned about that but possible address crumbling instead.

    Edit: and after reading the article, it’s a radiative-cooling paint rather than a reflecting coating. Concrete has a much lower thermal conductivity so this may not be effective in transferring heat out of the concrete.
