A year is 365 days. There are 52 weekends, so 104 days. 365 days, minus weekends (104) plus 2 additional weeks off (14) = 247.
It's her work schedule.

#1 20 friends at 30 years old? They're all work friends, right? Right??
aPokal
If he didn't move out of town after school and has a decently sized family locally, it's easy to upkeep networks/contacts for decades with little effort. But english speakers (or at least usa) don't use a lot of nuances when they talk about that. Like "work friend" (which is easy to be lazy with and just say friend) instead of something like colleague and for most they are often better described (ranked?) as acquaintances. The yanks kinda have only friends or not friends until in front of court.

#48 wolves are already pretty big, I think that might be a down grade
MeanWinchester
Yeah, instead we should selectively breed only the largest wolves from each pack for several generations until we create giant "dire-wolves". Then we should do the same with all animals. I want to feel like a hobbit walking through the woods
my2micmacs
For a few byears now there are already people breeding certain breeds of dog/wolf together to create a domestic dog that is as close to size and look s of a dire wolf but with domestic dog temperaments

FKK THAT i'd be sending them all personal messages THANKING them for not coming.
LoudBirb
Maybe she's just a terrible coordinator and planned the party with too short of a notice or on a date that conflicts with a holiday or another big event (i.e. wedding). Maybe his birthday falls in the middle of the work week and she insisted on having it on the day of. Maybe the party involves buying expensive tickets to somewhere/something. We don't have the full context, but if NO ONE can make the date/place you set, the easy answer is to just change the date/place.
RawSugarPackage
I was wondering what the date was on this. Like if it was If The middle of 2020, I'd understand. Or if there was a back story.
Lontri
Well, I tried throwing myself a bday party when I turned 24, combined housewarming party because I had just moved. 29-ish people RSVP'd, only 3 showed up (2 of them we're my new classmates I had just met, one was an internet friend I had known for 10 years but never met him irl before) and they were all from out of town. Haven't even tried to throw a party ever since. I do spoil myself though with all the good food and snacks. My aunt saw me buying the bday foods once and got upset that I hadn't
Lontri
Invited her. Would not believe that there's no party, nobody is coming over, all the food was for me for the next week or so. Btw she was one of the people that RSVP'd for my 24th bday and didn't show up. Even if I had a party, why would I invite her?

Or his GF did a terrible fucking job. But yeah, idk anyone in there 30s that has more than 5 close friends.
PorneliusHubertII
Most people use the word "friend" very loosely, usually applying it to what I would consider acquaintances. A friend is a person who would drop everything if you needed them, a friend acknowledges and celebrates times in your life that are important, a friend wouldn't miss a chance to make you smile. I'm 34 and I have maybe 6 people in the whole world I would consider friends.
JustSomePersonThere
True. Though it’s also possible that HE is the problem.
Icanhearwhatyouresayingandtheanswerisno
Or that they just didn’t want his twat girlfriend to know about the awesome man-party they were arranging

OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Or she asked the day of his birthday when he specifically and loudly stated he didn't want a party. People try so hard to do things for other people because "it's what I would want done for me" but forget to actually ask what the other person wants.

God's, my family and friends do this shit every year.
Sometimes, I just want to kill them with a machete. I don't celebrate the day this planet got its shipment of shit and fail, and neither should anyone else.
JustSomePersonThere
Listen to me, my brother: even if you are a shitty failure, you still have value. You still merit love and affection and celebration. No one gets love because they did good, everyone gets it for existing.

#23 If I recall correctly, methane is a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I think the Soviet geologists may have done the right thing here, inadvertently or not. Meanwhile, in the US…https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia_mine_fire

*cue Silent Hill music*
NunyaBNess1
If that example embodies the American idea of problem solving, the recent election makes a lot more sense.
Gravitino74
It has a stronger effect but is easier/faster to break down in the atmosphere as CO2.
wingineer
On the century timescale it has 28x the heat-trapping as an equivalent amount of CO2: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating And in the (very) long run, as you say, it still ends up as CO2–so more up-front warming and same very long term effects. Anyway, I’d say it’s best to not produce/extract methane, but if it’s going to vent to atmosphere it’d be better to burn it.
ChicanoBatman
Cows burp is the worst, worst than the farts which combined, produce over 15% of the total gases. I hate that this info takes space in my brain yet here we are.
flavivsaetivs
This is why we use CO2 Equivalent Emissions. Most of nuclear power's ~3.5-12g CO2 eq emissions, for example, comes from the hexafluorides used in the fuel manufacturing process.
dontbeafarbstein
Cough cough silent hill storyline
idownvoteplottwist
when you burn methane what are the compounds that come out and how does the calculus of GHG work out
wingineer
Methane is CH4, it burns to CO2 and water. On the century timescale it’d trap 28x the heat as a ton of CO2; I guess that number would go down with additional time, but probably never to <1. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating So I’d say it’s best to not produce/extract methane, but if it’s going to vent to atmosphere it’d be better to burn it.
LootenetDan
Commenting so I can find this link and read later. Sounds interesting!
ecoterrorpriest
In the whole world, about the same amount of coal is burning uncontrollable underground as is being mined.
ecoterrorpriest
Most of those fires are created by the friction heat of collapsing parts of unregulated mines.
BacteriaAgainstTheVaccine
You're totally correct! Depending on the timespan it's agreed that methane is 26 times worse than CO2. And the hydrofluoro carbon compounds that were used in refrigerators can be hundreds of thousands of times bigger than CO2. So at least we banned that...
Gestalt7
I'm putting hydrofluorocarbons on my 2025 Trump card. He feels that asbestos bans are a scam so bringing back HFCs feels like a fit for his next term.
OgreMkV
True. But methane has a atmosphere lifetime of 12 years. CO2 has a lifetime of thousands of years. Either way, it's a mess.
wingineer
Methane is CH4, doesn’t it break down to CO2 and water? So it’s more up front warming (28x the effect over a century: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating) and I’d think still giving the very long term effects of CO2.
OgreMkV
Absolutely.

AsIWasSaying

CalebCakePilot
Wait, doesn't burning it release anything harmful?
wingineer
It does: carbon dioxide. But that has a weaker greenhouse effect than methane does! So it’d be better to store or at least use the methane, but even just burning it to no other purpose is better than letting it vent to the atmosphere. (This is also relevant for livestock, landfills…)
CalebCakePilot
Ahh, thanks for the info!
Kehy
This is why methane power production is becoming more common on farms. Animals gonna poop, and it's a way to cause fewer problems with it
FoamingToad
Also certain seaweed in feedstock can reduce drastically the amount of methane produced by cattle, which is a promising line of enquiry.
SteveD31415
Yes it is, but it oxidizes fairly fast in the atmosphere to carbon dioxide and water vapor.
wingineer
“Fairly fast” is relative: over a century a ton of methane will trap 28x the heat as a ton of CO2. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/why-do-we-compare-methane-carbon-dioxide-over-100-year-timeframe-are-we-underrating Well, as with all greenhouse gases right now, best is to not produce them, second best is to trap them, third best is to convert them to something with a smaller effect.
SteveD31415

wingineer
You may be right, but pardon me if I take MIT’s word over your uncited claim.
SteveD31415
It's actually 7 to 12 years according to a NASA site. Took me about 60 seconds to find it. You could have done that yourself. So let's be honest. People like you don't give a rat's ass about citations, you're just posers.
