He figured out a setup with the instrument balanced on the saddle and both of us walking alongside, and we chatted for the 5 mins it took to get back to mine, then he cycled off. It completely turned around what had up until that point been a pretty bad day

I was trying to walk about 1km back home after a rehearsal with a very heavy musical instrument in a case with a broken wheel, having massively underestimated how difficult this would be, and I was extremely not enjoying the experience until a passing cyclist dismounted and offered to help

I’d rather it were the encouraging people to suicide personally, but I’ll take what I can get at this point

Feels like they’re really saying the quiet part out loud here, given that this approach obviously won’t achieve any time savings whatsoever, but does give management an excuse to increase workloads as well as paving the way for future deskilling. Almost as if that’s really what all this is about!

Yes exactly! The Drax power plant in the UK is pretty much the reason that I’m skeptical of biofuels projects by default - at worst, biofuels are greenwashing that sucks oxygen out of the room re actually meaningful climate interventions while taking us further from where we need to be

That’s just not true?

Do you think this is the kind of thing a troll would say? bsky.app/profile/no-h...

Ok, that makes sense to me - thanks

I’m not saying biofuels are bad! Just that they aren’t carbon negative and we shouldn’t imply they are!

lol at you asking for me to provide sources when nothing in this thread has sources to begin with

The intended reading of that point is obviously that this process is carbon negative, which is clearly *false* if all of the seaweed becomes biofuel!

The post doesn’t mention any other use so it’s actually pretty reasonable to assume that the vast majority of it, if not all of it, is going to become biofuel!

Look I’m 99% sure we are on the same side but you are being very annoying right now

I’m responding to the ‘absorbs massive amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere’ claim specifically

You can’t claim that it mitigates CO2 emissions if all of the absorbed CO2 ends up back in the atmosphere after it’s made into biofuel, surely

The closer to the executive you get, the less you understand and the more appealing stupid short term thinking becomes
