dat_math [they/them]@hexbear.netto Books@lemmy.ml•Were you ever denied a book by a librarian?English4·2 years agoIn 3rd or 4th grade I tried to check out Anne Rice’s The Servant of the Bones and was denied because “Anne Rice is too mature for someone as young as you”. I told the librarian that my parents recommended the book after I read Interview with the Vampire, which I found on my parents’ bookshelf after reading Dracula. I was then told that I could bring in a signed permission slip and when I came back with my mom she chewed out the librarian for gatekeeping a book because it has sex in it.
I definitely didn’t understand a lot of the sexy parts the way an adult would, but I enjoyed the story and the mythology it built on. My mom was pretty good, folks.

dat_math [they/them]@hexbear.netto Science@lemmy.ml•American Airlines, Google say they can wipe out most contrails, but more fuel requiredEnglish5·2 years agoThat doesn’t really explain how contrails themselves increase global warming. Is it that forming the contrail pulls energy out of the gaseous water (and onto control surfaces) via condensation so now the atmosphere can absorb a bit more heat while the GHG (water) remains in the air? How does using more fuel and outputting even more CO2+water+methane counterbalance that?
dat_math [they/them]@hexbear.netto Science@lemmy.ml•American Airlines, Google say they can wipe out most contrails, but more fuel requiredEnglish6·2 years agoHow does that work? Expending more carbon (and thus more CO2 release I would think) to reduce how much water condenses on control surfaces?
