  1. Wait a minute bold guy, why arent they taking more then? Is this corporate generosity?
  2. Protip for any thief who breaks into my parents house: the most value-dense thing you can steal is my dads worn notepad with his 150+ handwritten passwords in it. The only trick is you gotta figure out which password is active for which account because hes only got 10 accounts total and the passwords keep expiring on them due to failed attempts.
  3. Milk for lunch is a choice
  4. Alvin and the chipmunks is undisputably the worst cartoon gimmick/concept/idea ever. how the hell did it ever get greenlit
  5. The security of the internets foremost texas longhorns website all depends on the sleeping schedule of 1 guy. Sounds like the perfect presidential candidate.
  6. Real talk, because of past security issues? Ive tried all 3, currently paying for bitwarden, and i find lastpass usability the best. starting to migrate over apples built-in icloud keychain manager thing tho
  7. Wow thats crazy i thought these corporations were gouging monotonically because of endless greedflation pricing power.
  8. More gas is consumed in winter for heating than in summer for cooling (electric AC). Gas storage builds over the summer and draws down over winter, year in and year out.
  9. The best opsec is not using a fake identity. The best opsec is assuming the identity of a real person you dislike. My email is kentonpaulino@yahoo.com
  10. If you’re the *real* immamac, name all 300 of hitby’s socks.
  11. dont chain complex multi-stop trips into a single flight itinerary, itll limit your choices and yield higher prices. thats because the booking engines try to keep the carriers within a partner networks. book the main transatlantic trip first, so austin to berlin or warsaw, and the connections separately. in this case the itinerary is not too complex so you could try searching for a “multi-leg” itinerary (aka “open jaw”), austin to warsaw & berlin to austin; book warsaw to berlin separately. btw there is only 1 carrier serving waw-berlin, its the national polish carrier LOT. there are also tons of direct trains taking only 5 hours. given annoyance of going to/from airport, waiting, baggage cost, etc, train might be much better experience. warsaw is actually quite unpopular for tourists, but i like it a ton. its super chill and people are nice. hotels selection are good. the marriott, westin, hilton (obama stayed there) are all very reasonably priced. for 4 adults staying in 1 place the Platinum Residence serviced apartment is a great option too. (ive stayed in all of them). independent hotels in germany are typically a bit…err..weird. holiday inn and holiday inn express across germany are very reliable properties, as are best westerns. book small, specific tours as you need at each place. in 2024 with smartphones and cheap data access and everyone pretty much speaking english you dont need a full hands-off tour to do all the little stuff for you such as getting around the city
  12. Thats a metal cross, a steel knife, and a coin made up of nickel-copper. jesus christ people.
  13. How do we know this is the admin speaking and not the unsophisticated hacker?
  14. I dont judge people on the car they drive. Unless the car they drive is this:
  15. The Prelude was one of my favorite cars as a kid. Almost 30 years ago it came with 200hp (220hp for the Type S). Next year theyre going to be re-released….with a 200hp hybrid drivetrain. Cmon man! Really a worse product than the Civic Si.
  16. Seems to me the winds have slightly shifted. The flows into ESG-centric funds have waned. i.e., there is less financial pressure for companies to signal compliance with things like COP21, COP28, NZE2050, etc. A few reports I've seen from companies, they are behind on their emissions objective, so its a moving target just to show they're doing something. Despite how much lip service Oxi pays around emissions reduction in their investor material.... for actual compensation, only 4.5% (30% of 15% cash incentive) of Vicki's total target pay is tied to it. Board doesn't seem too invested in that topic. The other determinant is political pressure and that's more difficult to predict. Like if the govt places a carbon-intensity cap on projects before they're sanctioned. If you ask me... once the public gets around to the benefits of nuclear, a lot of this stuff goes away.
  17. bro let me meme in peace
  18. It's not another topic. Whether CO2 projects are economic ipso facto determines whether net zero is pie-in-the-sky. After all, everyone responds to incentives. Nobody is writing off CO2 EOR as wholesale unpractical. Whether CO2 is used in place of water, steam, gels, chemicals, are a matter of economics specific to each reservoir/field/operation. Clean energy projects so far are less economic than hydrocarbons. The industry's Scope 1 and 2 emissions alone are a massive 5 gigaton/yr. At the moment, the total global capture capacity projected at 2030 is...0.5Gt/yr. 10%...assuming zero increase in demand in hydrocarbon. Netting out the industry emissions to zero requires expenditure of money, energy, and time on a scope thats unrealistic. That's why some are 'so negative'. The pledge for net zero is not binding. Operators will commit to the extent 'required' by the capital markets (eg wall street) or regulators. Their capex on core, profitable business, are revised and reverted every few years.. you think they're truly going to spend on a 30 year horizon to meet 2050 emissions promise? current executives won't be around, board won't be around, hell, most of these companies in operations today won't be around by then.
