According to my sources (just a quick ddg search), 2000 kg of cocaine is worth more like $6 million.

Based on the video for that song, the band was unaware of this.

Use a little salt substitute on your food. It’s potassium salt instead of sodium, and contains a lot more of it than those completely worthless pills.

Every morning for the past 20 years. Mostly TWIM, but only for 20 minutes as a formal sit. Lots of short meditation breaks during the day, though. It has made me way less of an asshole, and a happier person.

I would love to understand this better. I have worked in power generation before (writing maintenance software for a nuclear plant, so I picked up a few things). I don’t understand the distribution side at all, though.

Can you suggest a book or article on the subject?

Renewables are an important part of the mix, but seems like nuclear is more important right now. It’s the best way to move industry away from coal and gas in the long run, though it’s something we in the US should have started on 30 years ago.

I’m aware that nuclear power has it’s own set of complications, but they’re more solvable than reducing emissions without it

The video (you can skip to the last five or 10 minutes of it to get the gist of what I’m talking about) says that the discrepancy isn’t unexplained. It’s point is that the different models depend on a large number of variables, and one of those variables is the size and brightness of the first generation of stars in the early universe. Tweaking that part of the model can explain the discrepancy. (According to the video.)
