They banned flavored pods. That’s why disposables took off. Those are banned now too, but enforcement is basically non-existent at the federal level.

The switcheroo has sadly already begun

The sanctions aren’t supposed to cripple China indefinitely. They’re just supposed to give the US enough time to build fabs for military chips before China invades Taiwan.

And yes, I am aware that may not happen within our lifetimes. I did not write the sanctions.

Bitcoin is deflationary. There is a hard limit on the total number of bitcoins that will ever exist. Every so often, the reward for mining a block is halved. Eventually there will be effectively zero reward for mining at all.

That might have been true a decade ago. But GPUs and FPGAs have long been obsolete for mining Bitcoin.

Mining is happening on custom silicon in large-scale operations. They specifically observed several of those large-scale operations in multiple nations and extrapolated out. I don’t see how that methodology is flawed.

I asked DALLE-2 for a “wide shot of a delivery driver in a Louisiana bayou with bagged food” and it gave me this:

That’s certainly a fascinating way to interpret “bagged food.”

I feel compelled to point out this important bit of context for anyone who doesn’t read the paper:

Overall, based on the four environmental indicators used in this study, home-washed reusable nappies have the potential for the least environmental impact if washed in a water-efficient front￾loading washing machine in cold water, and line-dried.

The UK study similarly found that colder water and line-drying would sufficiently reduce the carbon footprint to a lower level than disposables.

But seriously? Who does that?

For regular clothing, where you can use a more powerful detergent? Sure.

But for something that goes directly against your child’s most sensitive skin, which will need to be laundered with gentle detergent?

Maybe we can find a paper on how to do all that without heat but with proper sanitation? Remember, laundry detergent is designed to clean, but not necessarily to sanitize.

I’ll see if I can find some better ones. This was just the first one I plucked out of a random citation, because I knew I would get eviscerated without one. But I’ve been seeing the advice about disposables as far back as I can remember. It was even a trick question in an eco quiz when I was a child back in the 90s (i.e. “Which of these things are better ecological choices?”).

Interestingly the 2006 study itself is an updated version. Disposables did even better in the 2006 study than in the older one: Due to advances in manufacturing and in materials science, they were able to start producing them using less material (which decreases the carbon footprint during manufacturing, shipping, and disposal).

The linked study includes disposal in their calculations. Disposables still come out ahead.

First you need to address your mental health

The stations that carry it tend to only carry one brand to begin with. The owner of that brand is generally the one that pays, as they have to submit for testing at their own expense.

It’s not always more expensive. All Costco gas is Top Tier, for instance.

They require the brand to use the 2x detergent level for every grade, at every location, to display the Top Tier logo.

I go through a tank of gas every 1-2 days. When I don’t fill with Top Tier, my fuel economy goes down on that tank. When I consistently don’t fill with Top Tier, my fuel economy goes down even on my next tank of Top Tier. That’s when it’s time to throw in a bottle of polyetheramine (Techron, Redline, Gumout Regane, etc.) to clean things up.

DI engines unfortunately require deeper, periodic cleaning, as the additive will not reach the valves. But I do not have a DI engine, so the detergent makes a significant difference.

It particularly makes a difference in how often I have to (or do not have to) replace lifters to keep them in spec. This engine has solid, non-adjustable lifters.

Top Tier is about detergent pack, not about regular versus premium, so I’m not sure why you bring that up. Top Tier requires 2x the EPA mandated minimum detergent.

The detergent is the biggest difference. Top Tier brands are guaranteed to have 2x the EPA mandated minimum detergent levels.

If you aren’t getting more detergent at the pump, you end up having to pour it in later to restore performance.
