A year is 365 days. There are 52 weekends, so 104 days. 365 days, minus weekends (104) plus 2 additional weeks off (14) = 247.

If he didn't move out of town after school and has a decently sized family locally, it's easy to upkeep networks/contacts for decades with little effort. But english speakers (or at least usa) don't use a lot of nuances when they talk about that. Like "work friend" (which is easy to be lazy with and just say friend) instead of something like colleague and for most they are often better described (ranked?) as acquaintances. The yanks kinda have only friends or not friends until in front of court.

Yeah, instead we should selectively breed only the largest wolves from each pack for several generations until we create giant "dire-wolves". Then we should do the same with all animals. I want to feel like a hobbit walking through the woods

This is why we use CO2 Equivalent Emissions. Most of nuclear power's ~3.5-12g CO2 eq emissions, for example, comes from the hexafluorides used in the fuel manufacturing process.

You're totally correct! Depending on the timespan it's agreed that methane is 26 times worse than CO2. And the hydrofluoro carbon compounds that were used in refrigerators can be hundreds of thousands of times bigger than CO2. So at least we banned that...

True. But methane has a atmosphere lifetime of 12 years. CO2 has a lifetime of thousands of years. Either way, it's a mess.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Methane is CH4, doesn’t it break down to CO2 and water? So it’s more up front warming (28x the effect over a century: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating) and I’d think still giving the very long term effects of CO2.

It has a stronger effect but is easier/faster to break down in the atmosphere as CO2.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

On the century timescale it has 28x the heat-trapping as an equivalent amount of CO2: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating And in the (very) long run, as you say, it still ends up as CO2–so more up-front warming and same very long term effects. Anyway, I’d say it’s best to not produce/extract methane, but if it’s going to vent to atmosphere it’d be better to burn it.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Wait, doesn't burning it release anything harmful?

2 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

It does: carbon dioxide. But that has a weaker greenhouse effect than methane does! So it’d be better to store or at least use the methane, but even just burning it to no other purpose is better than letting it vent to the atmosphere. (This is also relevant for livestock, landfills…)

Also certain seaweed in feedstock can reduce drastically the amount of methane produced by cattle, which is a promising line of enquiry.

when you burn methane what are the compounds that come out and how does the calculus of GHG work out

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Methane is CH4, it burns to CO2 and water. On the century timescale it’d trap 28x the heat as a ton of CO2; I guess that number would go down with additional time, but probably never to <1. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating So I’d say it’s best to not produce/extract methane, but if it’s going to vent to atmosphere it’d be better to burn it.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes it is, but it oxidizes fairly fast in the atmosphere to carbon dioxide and water vapor.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

“Fairly fast” is relative: over a century a ton of methane will trap 28x the heat as a ton of CO2. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating Well, as with all greenhouse gases right now, best is to not produce them, second best is to trap them, third best is to convert them to something with a smaller effect.

Well, I tried throwing myself a bday party when I turned 24, combined housewarming party because I had just moved. 29-ish people RSVP'd, only 3 showed up (2 of them we're my new classmates I had just met, one was an internet friend I had known for 10 years but never met him irl before) and they were all from out of town. Haven't even tried to throw a party ever since. I do spoil myself though with all the good food and snacks. My aunt saw me buying the bday foods once and got upset that I hadn't

Invited her. Would not believe that there's no party, nobody is coming over, all the food was for me for the next week or so. Btw she was one of the people that RSVP'd for my 24th bday and didn't show up. Even if I had a party, why would I invite her?

2 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 1

Maybe she's just a terrible coordinator and planned the party with too short of a notice or on a date that conflicts with a holiday or another big event (i.e. wedding). Maybe his birthday falls in the middle of the work week and she insisted on having it on the day of. Maybe the party involves buying expensive tickets to somewhere/something. We don't have the full context, but if NO ONE can make the date/place you set, the easy answer is to just change the date/place.

Most people use the word "friend" very loosely, usually applying it to what I would consider acquaintances. A friend is a person who would drop everything if you needed them, a friend acknowledges and celebrates times in your life that are important, a friend wouldn't miss a chance to make you smile. I'm 34 and I have maybe 6 people in the whole world I would consider friends.
