After looking at this data

ourworldindata.org/travel-carb

one wouldn't feel bad traveling short-haul flights in comparison to land based options.

There are three factors that go into the carbon footprint while traveling:

- carbon emissions per kilometer
- distance between locations
- passenger count of vehicle

And then there are personal factors like:

- cost of travel
- duration of travel

Considering that on average air travel is always the shortest option among the rest, the hypothesis would be that carbon emissions on that factor would be equivalent.

Let $a, b$ be vehicles. Let $c_a, c_b$ be carbon emissions in g/km with $c_a > c_b$ and $d_a$ be the distance bound to vehicle $a$. Then

$$d_b = \left(\frac{c_a}{c_b} - 1\right)d_a$$

is the allowance of kilometers for the vehicle bound to $q$ before a carbon equivalence is made.

Another factor is the capacity amount of passengers, let's say that the average short-haul flight has 180 passengers, the average long distance bus 60 passengers and the average long distance train 2550 passengers (30 cars times 85 passengers). This quickly solidifies that traveling by train is the cleanest option. Assuming each vehicle is fully booked.

Let's extend the upper equation with passenger count denote with $p$. Then

$$d_b = \frac{c_a}{c_b}\frac{p_b}{p_a}d_a$$

is vehicle's $b$ allowance in kilometers before equivalence.

In conclusion, just because it seems like a vehicle is carbon emission wise worst off on a g/km basis, does not have to mean that case holds up for the complete trip.

Thought experiment:

What if a data breech of stolen user names and passwords in plain text wasn't a jackpot.

Assuming one had a large enough user base. Plus one purposely saved everything in clear text. Then one implements an algorithm that saves each user's name and password in different locations. E.g. user `x` has password `y` and user `y` has password `z`, etc.

Thus if the database ever got leaked, although it looks like you received a gold mine, you only got a gotcha.

Additional algorithm/procedural alterations would be to mix up the pairs in arbitrary time intervals. Or it could be a fluid database that is constantly changing.

Just finished developing the newest version of the script "Minds Limitlezz" for the social media .

It now comes with an integrated widget and an auto scroller feature.

Newly learnt:
- how to use `MutationObserver` over `addEventListener`
- how to do inline psuedo elements
- how to setup ssh with multiple users on the same git repo hoster

Here are some aliases I implemented

- `git co <branch-name>` to `git checkout <branch-name>` (activate with `git config --global alias.co checkout`)
- `git com` to `git checkout master` (activate with `git config --global alias.com "checkout master"`)
- `git R` to `git restore .` (activate with `git config --global alias.R "restore ."`)
- `git A` to `git add .` (activate with `git config --global alias.A "add ."`)

Can also have specific branch aliases only, where you just have to replace `--global` with `--local` within the specific branch.

Since I made the pot for two cups, it seems like the spiciness settled to the bottom and the second cup is hotter than the first one.

Might need to look into binding agents, since the peppermint flavor was lost with the second cup.

Experimenting with additives. Today testing out coffee plus Tabasco and oil.

Through all the ingredients in pre-filter, so it could be that some of the ingredients bind stronger to the membrane.

The smell of the peppermint has infused the room and there is a slight hot sauce kick.

Currently experimenting into making homemade energy drinks or focus drinks.

You got the classics like capsaicin, caffeine, and nicotine for nervous system stimulants from various sources.

The current challenge is to weed out the various sources. Have already experimented with:

- pepper tincture
- chai tincture
- Tabasco sauce
- black tea
- black coffee
- Nicorette (nicotine)
- yerba mate tea
- matcha tea

Looking into which other natural substances can create a stimulating effect or which combination of natural substances.

Hot sauce + pepper tincture + chai tincture + black tea is a nice a treat.

We know that it is a human right to be fed. Though do wealthy individuals have the privilege to choose their diet?

It is quite toxic that the new 42 version on 36 changed the default editor to from

Did give me the opportunity to update it to instead.

How does the air pressure change while riding an elevator? Assuming the elevator is not pressurized.

This morning was great! Checked my phone and was confused why I am not getting any mobile or wifi connections. I thought that the chip set was broken. Only to realize moments later that the electricity was out for the whole town, which probably impacted the cell tower as well.

Do you think you have the right to phish someone back who tried to phish you in the first place?
