Electric arc furnaces are becoming more common across the steel industry, coke alternatives not so much. Being a commodity, any steel plant that choses more expensive ingredients is going to quickly go out of business

when the going got tough, Shanks had to give in
You mean when his house got firebombed and the cops wouldn’t do shit about it? I think giving in is a reasonable response to that
- Comment on If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain? 1 month ago:
The strength of the gravity field at the ISS orbit is still 90% of what it is on the surface. The air thins out at high altitudes because there’s less air above it, not because of weaker gravity.

The vacuum would cause it to evaporate, but since the higher energy molecules escape first it would freeze and then sublimate to nothing

- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 2 months ago:
At least those horrible things required human effort to make, so there was a limited quantity. An unlimited supply of content that a human had no part in making is completely new territory

- Comment on Scientist Discover How to Convert CO2 into Powder That Can Be Stored for Decades 4 months ago:
Good luck dealing with megatonnes of this powder if you ever want to make a small dent in global emissions. It’s one thing to capture it, but the sheer amount of carbon we put into the atmosphere is such that we wouldn’t be able to handle the amount of product that this process makes.

- Comment on Scientist Discover How to Convert CO2 into Powder That Can Be Stored for Decades 4 months ago:
The big problem with physical carbon storage is that we emit way too much to ever have enough land to store it all as powder. All of these technologies work great at the demonstration scale, but when you do the math and see how much solid carbon you’d have it becomes a problem of not having anywhere to put it, and our existing demand for elemental carbon in manufacturing is comparatively tiny

- Comment on gatekeeping 5 months ago:
Parentheses (also just called brackets here in North America, where the English language comes to die) are used to show that the listed values are not included in the range. They’re always used for infinity since infinity isn’t a real number.
