NewPipe ..for peertube and for YouTube! I use it in an Android.

Better for what?

Moving parts and complexity makes it more prone to failure.

Also, how much energy do you need to keep this working? It's not said on the website.

Granted, both kettle and this zori trade energy and complexity/failure-potential for convenience. Much more so the zori. How much is unknown. On the simple, less-energy end, you'd use an electrical resistance in an insulated jar.

All electric kettles will fail at some point. They have moving parts and are designed for obsolescence.

In my place I use a kettle that allows me to boil 1 cup of water. The filter mesh has failed long ago but the water does not have hardness. Instead I use a small improvised cap to keep the flow of vapour to the cut off thermostat (usually at the bottom of the handle).

Look for "Portugal: How much of the country’s electricity comes from renewables?" in the bottom quarter.

No apologies needed. Great that we got here. Cheers

Have you made simple mistake on your original comment?

That source is about the use of dried luffa, a cucumber like vegetable.

You commented about

dried sea cucumbers

From the Wikipedia article on sea cucumbers, "they are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body ... found on the sea floor worldwide."

Thus me having asked for a source.

This somehow reminds me of the plastic industry ploy to discredit cork stoppers and thus get wine with plastic stoppers. ---- No. No, the production of cork does not require the killing of the cork oak tree.

The first advise is get expert help.

Find a civil engineer or a structures engineer and ask them.

That crack does not look good. If I remember correctly cracks with more than 1mm gap should not be ignored.

If you don't want to follow any of the previous advise, carefully monitoring for movement on the crack on a medium to long timeframe is, IMHO, the most irresponsible you can be.

Great post! Thanks for this.

Thanks! And that is a very fair point.

I'm not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?

Researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.

The commentary-paper Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate

...this has been posted here, in this same community. Will delete ..if I can. I have tried deleting (from within Jerboa) but it didn't (obviously..)

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.

A lot of people point to trains efficiency as a way forward to minimize the environmental impact of the transportation sector. But are trains and railroad solarpunkable? Or is it just another "all eggs in the same basket" industry?
