"A new community housing development in the Bronx will feature a cool piece of kit: an on-site aerobic digester that can turn 1,100 pounds of food scraps into 220 pounds of high-quality fertilizer every single day.

Built by Harp Renewables, it’s basically a big stomach filled with bacteria that breaks down food scraps and wasted food into their component parts, and in the future could be a standard part of all apartment units as the amount of food waste in American reaches 30% of the total mass of all trash collection.

The Peninsula, organized by Gilbane Development Company, will feature 740 units of affordable housing, 50,000 square-foot light industrial space and equal sized green space, and 15,000 feet of commercial space, all of which will send their castaway comestibles right into the digester...

Fast Company reports that Christina Grace, founder of a zero-waste food management company, helped plan the design and implementation of the digester into The Peninsula, and helped organize a 40% grant from the city to pay the $50,000 upfront cost.

“The goal is for this material to work its way into the community garden network in the Bronx,” [Christina Grace, who helped plan the design] told the magazine, adding that she expects it to pay for itself over just a few years. “We see this as highly replicable in both commercial and residential venues. We know there’s a need for fertilizer.”

Producing fertilizer right there in the city reduces the need for it to be trucked in from afar, chipping away, even if just a bit, at NYC traffic.

Big problem solver

Perhaps uniquely beneficial to New York City compared to other spots in the U.S. is that the digester will have a significant impact on the Bronx’s share of the city’s rodent problem.

Those who’ve watched the Morgan Spurlock documentary Rats will understand why that’s significant—while those that haven’t will have to imagine what living in a megacity where rats outnumber people by around 8 or 10 to 1 looks like.

Another big problem the bio-digesters could potentially help is pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizer is a big emitter of all three of the most-targeted GHGs. Fertilizer, like quarry dust and ammonia is, like so many commodities, often imported from countries who specialize in its production, such as Norway, but also Russia and Ukraine, whose conflict has recently highlighted the fragility of the supply chain with sharp increases in prices...

Bio-digesters by design keep the CO2 and methane in the fertilizer produced, rather than it entering the atmosphere.

For these reasons and more, the aerobic bio-digester is slowly making its way into residential and industrial spaces around the country.

GNN reported on an enormous bio-digester at the heart of the D.C. advanced resource (sewage) recovery center outside the capital, and on the use of bio-digesters on Australian pig farms which are helping reduce the environmental and psychological impact of the effluent produced from such operations.

Harp Renewables tweeted how happy they were to have installed their bio-digester in the town of Cashel, Ireland.

Expect to see more stories like this pop up around the globe."

Note: Obviously gentrification bad and "affordable housing" is sometimes nowhere near as affordable as it should be, etc. etc. That said, this is such a fantastic use case that I felt I had to post it anyway.

Question, aside from time factor why didn't Lloyd make a modern way of sewage/plumbing? Was there a different skill that he needed?

well, thing is, modern plumbing is like. really hard to make. we take it for granted but it's,,, a lot of work lol

lloyd did want to implement it but it would've taken him years and a lot of money to do it, things he simply could not afford

It'd have been nice if I could build a modern sewage system in each household where they can directly throw their waste. But he didn't have the technology to do so and lacked money, time and labor. A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd's face as he looked at the ongoing construction. To be honest, he wanted to create a modern sewage system, just like the one in South Korea, if he could. It would allow the water used at homes to pass through the sewers and the people to flush their toilets. Clean and sleek. Lloyd wanted to devise a method wherein people could deal with the waste without extra effort or care. But that's impossible here. To construct a modern sewage system, Lloyd had to connect the residential facility with underground pipes. But the current situation made it impossible for him to do so. Soon, the freezing winter would turn the Prona River into a giant block of ice. The accumulated bodily waste there signaled a large-scale epidemic. So, the sewers had to be constructed before the plague, leaving Lloyd no time to build and connect houses with pipes. He would need at least several years to perfect such a thorough system.

again! modern plumbing is a bit of a marvel of engineering! implementing it in a fantasy world without any of the technological advantages of the modern world would've been pretty hard! and lloyd is not even a civil engineer, he was just studying to become one! the fact he managed to build a sewage system that worked as well as it did in such a relatively short amount of time is already goddamn amazing.

perhaps later on, when he had plenty of free time and money to get bored with just lazing around, maybe he got sufficiently annoyed with not having running water in his house and decided to do something about it! but we have no way of knowing about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An example of grocery delivery frustration is you go to the grocery and the shopping list mentions store-brand cage free organic eggs. The alternatives are a different but more significantly pricded brand of cage free organic eggs, cheaper store brand eggs that are neither cage free or organic , equally priced cage free eggs that don’t mention being organic but do say “All Natural”, and slightly more expensive organic eggs that don’t mention being cage free etc

You text the customer “They don’t have what was listed, do you want any of these alternatives” and they reply “just get organic or whatever’s closest”. Well on this run you had already messaged them multiple times asking if they want 6x or 12x pork chops because they’re out of 8x, whether a prepackaged container of brussel sprouts is OK bc the vegetable section was out, checking to see if they’re the type of person that’s particular when it comes to brands of water etc and you’re starting to get the vibe that this person might be getting annoyed with all the question and an annoyed customer is gonna be one that’s less likely to tip and tips are the only thing that would make this whole mess worth it in the first place but you decide you don’t want them to get upset with a wrong product so you look back at the eggs and mention the prices bc maybe they’re someone that gets upset when the substitute is more expensive or maybe they’re the type that gets upset when the substitute doesn’t have the exact same stuff going on and now they’re not replying ten or fifteen minutes pass and finally they’re like “uh whatever’s cheaper” alright that’s more time wasted which means you’re now a lot less likely to make your dinner rush quota because it turns out this person lives in a gated community in a purely residential area and sure it’s “only” 20 minutes away but that’s 40+ minutes where you’re not gonna be getting any dispatches bc you’re nowhere near any groceries or restaurants now oh and they didn’t tip in the end so maybe you managed to break even with gas

Russian forces conducted a massive missile strike attack against over 20 cities, including Kyiv, on October 10. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces launched over 84 cruise missiles and 24 drone attacks, 13 of which were carried out with Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones. Ukrainian air defense shot down 43 cruise missiles, 10 Shahed-136 drones, and 3 unspecified drones. Russian forces launched missiles from 10 strategic bombers operating in the Caspian Sea and from Nizhny Novgorod, Iskander short-range ballistic missile systems, and 6 missile carriers in the Black Sea. Russian forces launched the Shahed-136 drones from Crimea and Belarus. Ukrainian media reported that Russian missile strikes hit 70 targets, including 29 critical infrastructure facilities, 4 high-rise buildings, 35 residential buildings, and a school.

Putin emphasized that he would conduct proportional escalation in any future retaliatory actions. He stated that if Ukraine continues to carry out “terrorist attacks against [Russian] territory, then Russian responses will be harsh, and their scale will correspond to the level of the threat to the Russian Federation.” This declaration of proportionality suggests that Putin intends to continue climbing the escalation ladder rung by rung and cautiously rather than jumping to more dramatic measures such as the use of nuclear weapons. Putin may also mean to message the Russian pro-war camp that they should manage their expectations of an ongoing daily bombardment of Ukraine similar to the one conducted today. Russian milbloggers, for their part, have overwhelmingly welcomed the strikes and amplified Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev’s statement that more attacks against Ukraine will follow soon. Ukrainian and Western intelligence have previously reported that Russia has spent a significant portion of its high-precision missiles, and Putin likely knows better than Medvedev or the milbloggers that he cannot sustain attacks of this intensity for very long.

The October 10 Russian attacks wasted some of Russia’s dwindling precision weapons against civilian targets, as opposed to militarily significant targets. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces successfully completed the mission of striking Ukrainian military command centers, signal infrastructure, and energy systems in Ukraine. Social media shows that Russians instead hit a children’s playground, a park, a German consulate, and a business center among other non-military targets. Ukrainian air defenses also shot down half of the Russian drones and cruise missiles. Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy grid will not likely break Ukraine’s will to fight, but Russia’s use of its limited supply of precision weapons in this role may deprive Putin of options to disrupt ongoing Ukrainian counter-offensives in Kherson and Luhansk Oblasts.

[loki-is-my-kink-awakening]

For your ask game! Lokius + because they’re running out of time.

🥺 Hope you like it.

Kang’s forces were getting closer. Loki could see the rows of troops trudge through the city as he peered out of the small window.

Their TemPads lay broken, scattered across the floor after fighting off a singular robot that had come to check out the residential tower block they were currently held up in.

The fact that the robot was also in bits was the only consolation.

“We need to move,” Loki urged, looking back at Mobius. They were on the 12th floor in someone’s bland apartment while below them, on the streets, people were running around terrorised by Kang’s army.

Mobius grunted, murmuring complaints as he stood up on his injured leg. They had done their best to take care of the wound, with a handmade tourniquet wrapped tight around Mobius’ thigh, his trouser leg in tatters. Loki already knew this would limit how fast they could run.

They needed somewhere better to hide.

He put Mobius’ arm around his shoulders and urged him forward. They walked slowly, Mobius limping and making little hissing sounds each time he put his right foot down.

“We need something to carry you.”

“Don’t you dare,” Mobius growled. He looked sideways at Loki, eyes narrowed. As if Loki stood a chance of doing something Mobius didn’t want to do.

Sighing, Loki looked ahead. They were close to the stairs but that would take forever to get Mobius up them. The elevators were out of order, the electricity long since cut off.

The only thing left was a small maintenance shaft at chest height. It would be difficult to get into, but he needed to keep Mobius safe, away from what was coming.

Kang would find them eventually.

“Loki,” Mobius grumbled. “We can’t.”

“We very much can, Mobius, and we are.”

He didn’t waste any more time, pulling Mobius towards the wall and slipping his arm off him.

Placing a hand on the metal door, Loki sensed how cold the space inside was. Enough that he drew it towards the lock mechanism, then froze it.

There was a loud snap. Then the door clicked open.

Loki glanced at Mobius, who smirked at him.

“Always were so clever.”

“You can flirt with me later,” Loki huffed, pulling up his sleeves.

He put his arm around Mobius again and pulled him towards the now open hatch. Holding it open with his shoulder, he used his arms to lever Mobius up into the small space, hoisting him inside.

Mobius had barely begun shuffling deeper into the space when Loki heard a noise coming from the stairs.

The sound of heavy boots ricocheted off the walls.

Glancing up, Loki saw Mobius had managed to shuffle backwards, enough that there was a little room for him in the shaft. He jumped up and launched himself through the hatch, clicking the door closed and putting his hand over his mouth, trying to quieten how heavy he was breathing.

His heart pounded in his chest, hoping against all odds that they weren’t detected.

Mobius winced slightly, drawing Loki’s attention back to him. His leg must really hurt after having gone through all that.

Loki wanted to move over to him, but as the steps got louder and louder outside, he knew he couldn’t.

He could hear doors to apartments being slammed open. It sounded like a small group of robots. In another situation, they could take them. Norns, they had taken them time and again since getting to this timeline.

Now they were stuck, with no way of getting out.

Loki didn’t think that Sylvie or Bea would be able to help them either. They were busy with their own mission.

Another bang. Both of them jolted. That one was close. Loki could only hope that these robots wouldn’t hear them hiding inside here.

He closed his eyes and tried to breathe quietly.

The steps continued, then stopped right outside their hiding place.

Loki looked over at Mobius, seeing his eyes go wide.

There was no point in staying silent if they were going to be killed.

He reached over, climbing over Mobius, and grabbed his face between his hands and pressed their lips together.

It should have been chaste. It should have been a quick peck and then turn to face whatever horrors awaited them, but as Mobius’ lips parted, Loki found he couldn’t bring himself to pull away.

He tilted his head, deepening the kiss, pouring everything he felt for the man but couldn’t tell him.

Mobius’ hands gripped into his hair and held him close.

They were going to die like this, wrapped up in each other, ignoring the end that was coming.

Loki could barely hear the door opening, the rush of blood in his ears deafening.

There was a sizzling sound, almost like a spark.

He clung onto Mobius, his heart feeling like it could explode out of his chest.

A whining sound, probably a laser gun charging up.

This was it. This was their last moment.

Then suddenly they were falling. That broke their kiss just long enough for Mobius to land on something solid first, then Loki crashed on top of him.

Mobius grunted and Loki looked up at him. His vision was swimming but they were definitely in a different place.

“Are you done?”

Loki pushed up, his arms bracketing Mobius, and turned his head around to see Ravonna, her arms folded and brows quirked.

Scrambling, he shoved himself up off of Mobius, dusting down his ruined TVA uniform. He scanned the room, seeing a very small room with a bed, a kitchen and everything all in the one space.

“Do you live here now?” Loki asked.

“Don’t bother helping me up,” Mobius complained, still lying on the floor.

“Oh, sorry,” Loki apologised, turning back to him and holding out his hands for Mobius to grab them. He pulled the man up, bracing his legs to take the weight.

By the time they got up, Ravonna had walked away and returned with a first aid kit.

“You, sit down on the bed. You, go make a cup of tea or something,” Ravonna instructed.

“But…”

“Go,” Mobius said. He gave a half smile, then winced in pain again. “I’ll be fine.”

Loki walked backwards slowly, unwilling to let Mobius out of his sight. He couldn’t trust Ravonna and he watched her every move while she cleaned Mobius’ wounds and patched him up.

During it, they talked in hushed whispers, with Mobius’ eyes locking with his every few seconds.

When the kettle finally boiled, Loki returned with a tray and three cups of tea in hand, 

“I’m going to go check on something,” Ravonna said. She stood up, winked at Mobius and grabbed a cup, walking out the room through a small curtain of coloured beads.

Mobius patted on the bed next to him. Loki sat down gingerly, feeling awkward.

“You can look at me, you know,” Mobius said.

“I know,” Loki agreed, staring into his cup, “but I’m scared of what I might see.”

“And what is that?”

“That you regret it.”

Mobius pulled on Loki’s arm, forcing him to turn and face him.

“I don’t regret anything, not even getting injured.”

Loki inhaled sharply, filling his lungs with air and feeling his muscles soften.

Mobius smiled, plucking the cup out of Loki’s hands and setting it down beside his own cup on the tray that lay on the small table by the bed.

“In fact, I want you to kiss me again.”

“You do?” Loki asked.

“Shut up,” Mobius sighed, smiling and shaking his head as he pulled Loki in by the tie.

Their lips met again, softer this time. It was tender, moving slowly as they explored, brushing against each other like they’d always done this.

There was only a fleeting question in Loki’s head, wondering exactly how Ravonna had been able to find them.

That question could wait. As Mobius wrapped his arms around his neck, everything else faded away. This right here was the most important thing in the multiverse.
