This is not taking in to account the fossil fuel usage for growing wood, transporting it and processing it to pellets.
Biofuels rarely make sense, unless we can get the biomass as a side-flow from some other process. And that kind of flows are quite limited compared to our energy needs.
I use [pi-oven](https://github.com/keichi/pi-oven) for my raspberry images. Not perfect, but kind of works and removes a lot of hassle for the provisioning.
Could not quickly find out from the project page an example on how to bake rpi images with mkosi, but the descriptions do point towards somewhat similar use case :shrug:
In Finland honey is rarely pasteurized. It is seen as a quality defect if honey is heated after extraction from the hive. Heating is thought to destroy some of the beneficial compounds in honey.
Similarly one should not put honey to too hot tea if one wants the benefits instead of just sugar.
I enjoyed the The Revolutions podcast from him, but was very confused when I returned to it and new episodes were clearly fiction. I would have preferred a separate podcast instead of using the same feed for history/non-fiction and then changing to fiction midway.
For sure I mean he certainly wanted to access the subscriber base he built up. And he has made some commitments to do a few series on 20th century revolutions once he's done with this project so check back in a few months there should be more non-fiction series.
Yet they have also gotten involved in a very destructive war that destroyed their fossil fuel markets, made them a pariah and wasted their Soviet heritage military arsenal. Would not count it as development.
While it is true that many Russians might prefer living in a 2019 Russia over a 2025 Russia, you're not going to find a single person in the country who would prefer the 1999 Russia over either of them.
> wasted their Soviet heritage military arsenal
30-year-old arsenals require replacement, and war (even an embarrassing one) is an to modernize them.
Nope, Nokia was killed via suicide-by-microsoft-exec. They took in a MS aligned CEO and promptly proceeded to destroy their own chance of competing (using Maemo/meego or android for their phones) by using MS operating system.
I guess one could call it leadership stagnation, but I would argue more it being just plain old stupidity
To me this brings to mind Eliezer's Inadequate Equilibria(https://intelligence.org/equilibriabook/ ), which goes on explaining how these non-optimal, but stable situations arise all around us in societies.
Especially the part how everyone can see the inefficiencies, but there is no (easy, non-coordinated) way to fix them.
