Bravo - very well-reasoned response.
US mid-Atlantic: Pricing is elevated, but strange; some eggs that are usually higher cost now cost less than the typically lower cost eggs. For example (all for dozen large eggs):
Store brand, conventional: $6.93
Store brand, cage free: $4.95
Store brand, organic free range: $4.59
Eggland's Best (premium brand): $4.99
It's been a while since I've had a Corona. The worst bottles I ever used were these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Brewery,_Inc.#Lionshead
Not only are they twist off, but the glass is so thin some would break when sealing the cap.
Looks awesome.
Are those Corona bottles twist-off? I remember having issues in the past with keeping a good seal on twist-off bottles.
OP, I know it's not your graphic, but there's a typo towards the top ("redifine" should be "redefine") if you want to pass it along
Also can someone explain why we use solar panels instead of mirrors that heat up water and spin turbines? Almost every other method of producing energy uses that and from my understanding its more efficient and probably cheaper.
This is called concentrated solar power, and there are operating facilities representing less than 2% of total worldwide solar capacity (as of 2017): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power
In short, as with most things, the answer to "why don't we do more" is that it's more expensive than the alternatives. Because the "feedstock" (sunlight) is free, efficiency doesn't matter much unless land is expensive. The complexity of these systems is also much greater than PV, leading to higher capital and operating costs.
The promise of concentrated solar is that it can serve as energy storage as well (the hot heat transfer medium can continue to heat water and generate power into the night) meaning it has greater potential for base load power than PV. Plus, I think power towers look damn cool.
No problem - cheers.
From the page that you linked:
The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.
If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.
its—possessive adjective of it
it’s—contraction for “it is”
The nature of the object doesn't change which form to use (which should make it easier to determine which is correct), and the correct form is not a debate.
Sure, language changes, but for now that's the accepted rule.
Strange - it seems that the NSFW tag doesn't federate between Mbin and Lemmy?
Another day, another quirk of the Fediverse.
