By levelized cost of just the energy. Taking into account energy storage at different renewable mixes makes it a little worse for intermittent source. All that to say, nuclear can still be useful and cheaper in some situations.

If they're actually sequestering the carbon fully, like injecting it back underground, then it's equivalent to not emitting in the first place. I think the issue is that the offsetting methods companies are using are not actually sequestering carbon. Like promising to not cut down trees or burying logs insufficiency underground.

I guess they're relaxing the policy, since they've hinted previously that they viewed attacks on Russian territory to be a threat to the existence of Russia and would use nukes in response. But they didn't.

And the lions would quickly get too cold by having way too much surface area.

Scientific accuracy is no fun for shrinking and growing things.

Plastic recycling specifically in the US has previously used empty ships going back to Asia to ship 'recycling' there. Nominally, they would sort it to be recycled. But since it's only economical to recycle a few sorts of plastic, most of it is burned. This has terrible health effects for the country, hence why several countries blocked the US from shipping it to them.

If the carbon is properly sequestered after capture, and the energy use is accounted for in emissions, wouldn't net zero be just as good as zero? It's almost always going to be way more expensive to take the carbon back out of the atmosphere than to not emit it in the first place, so I'd think you'd get mostly the same effect.

Those are all Stalin's public statements. It looks good to downplay your cult. But he still undoubtedly had one.

Lennan for example seemed to pretty strongly oppose a cult of personality forming around him. But Stallin didn't, just some humble public statements.

But was that risk to their power from a armed revolution, or from their proponents getting voted out?

Do you agree that Mau and Stallin extensively purged political opponent?

Do you agree that Stalin and Mau created cults of personality?

These mini castles were built all over the city.

The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.

Only a few survive to the current day.

Such a great sword stick! (preview.redd.it)

I'd love a stick like this, so much fun waving it around.

I really love the huge sense of scale this ship gives, a bit megalophobia inspiring. Especially when compared to the absolutely massive guild heighliner. huge heighliner disembarking the ambassador's ship

Jean-Pierre Luminet calculated all of that back in 1979 using the IBM 7040 mainframe, an early transistor computer with punch card inputs. The machine generated isolines for his image that were "directly translatable as smooth curves using the drawing software available at the time," he told Engadget in an email.

To create the final image though, he relied on his other passion: art. Using numerical data from the computer, he drew directly on negative image paper with black India ink, placing dots more densely where the simulation showed more light. "Next, I took the negative of my negative to get the positive, the black points becoming white and the white background becoming black."
