This is the first flight of Underthing Press. So, using all my vast publishing-world clout, I ping Ursula Vernon on Twitter to ask her what was up. But the big news for today, is that were going to be doing a live discussion and Q&A with Ursula Vernon herself. Farmers markets dont even have permanent inventory, so farmers must transport unsold product back, on their lightly-loaded small inefficient trucks. The population of this country, which is only about the same as New York, makes more than a million cycle journeys every hour. Then again the scale factor for food would need to include this factor as well, depending on the energy source distribution that goes into the 10x factor for food. (Id be angry about this screencap if I hadnt made it. My name is Patrick Rothfuss. All on FoxSports.com. The best information I can find right now is the following page: Some googling might produce more information. A creepy obsessive psycho who genuinely believes he is always in the right and that he deserves the best. Watergurl on August 03, 2020: I'm posting because it helps me to get my history of being a TI off my chest when I need to vent. Its wild to me when I stop to think that back in the day, I used to post up blogs at the rate of 2-3 a week, whereas now its more usual for me to post one every 2-3 months. Printers going out of business. And these days, my older son bears the brunt of the impulse. In a good way, I feel. http://www.deathbycar.info/2011/11/mpg-of-bicycles-and-walking/. Moreover, it sounds funny but sometimes you are even faster with a bike than with a car (if you dont leave the city). The result is that bicycles are by far the most efficient means of transport. On a whim, I asked what they would say if someone asked them for a promotional blurb. When I was a teenager she introduced me to it, and we stayed up late to watch it together on the weekends. And it was worth it, because I got Homestar Runner on the project. A number of comments in this thread have gotten me to do a fair amount of Googling, and I find myself drawn to this: It would actually seem to come surprisingly close to meeting many (but certainly not all) of my minimum requirement for an electric vehicle, but oh-by-the-way it just happens to primarily be a high-performance human-powered vehicle. (If you dont know what that is, you can look over here.) Choosing our food sources and food type can make a big difference here. To thm: Also not exactly what you mean by cars chewing up pavement but if youre talking about damage and its eventual repair and repaving then cars actually dont do much damage. *sigh* Ramore This was supposed to be a 5 book series, but for some reason Susan Ee changed it to a Trilogy (unfortunately). Ill see yall tomorrow. Theyre debunked here. Your body turns into a machine when you get really fit. The concern with fuels isnt typically the quantity, IMHO its the energy requirement. Romance 01/10/20: Fallen Angel - Innocent Angel Pt. I recently visited your beautiful home town of San Diego to check out the Americas Cup trial races that were being held in the harbour, and I couldnt help but be awed by these high tech machines. Paper shortages. And wed done so without me actively having my shoulder to the wheel the whole time, which is a really helpful thing for me to realize. But even as I type those up, I realize theyre not my real fear. I want to do my own weird shit in my own weird way. 04 (4.61) Ann & John go on Date Number Four. All donations are currently being matched. The other way would be to do an apples-to-apples life cycle assessment. Parking space, sure- state-sized swathes of arable land appropriated for car storage- but also roadway. Incest/Taboo 01/17/22: Trading Places (4.68) Mother and daughter trade partners. Recall that we could bike this distance for a smaller energy investment of 24kcal. Converting to the more universal and useful measure of energy per unit distance, these numbers map to 5kWh/100-mi, and 2.8kWh/100-mi. Even half our current road capacity would probably be overkill. Theyre too slow, uncomfortable and impractical. Extra points anyone who can guess in the comments below as to where I stole the inspiration for the voice and demeanor of my character. Farmers are devastated. Careful: The Dutch have some of the best bicycle road infrastructure in the world. You factored in the energy cost of producing food and added it to the energy in the food, but you didnt do the same for gasoline. (When? This really depends where youre coming from. Data encryption in your mailbox and after email is sent. So why do the energy calculations for long-distance cycling include base nutritional requirements? When you factor in parking costs/availablity in a city, biking/walking is still better. You would be doing very very well to hit 90% at optimal operating point with large highly efficient machines, considering that even going straight through you need a mechanical to electrical conversion and an electrical to mechanical conversion, with at least one and probably two electrical conversion stages as well. Fiasco proves how fun it is to role-play without a DM. Loving Wives 09/30/20: Fallout (4.48) Sam's journey of discovery, warts and all. Dont get me worng. Hes 12, and Ive tried to keep the worst of the world from poisoning him. For comparison, coal ranges from 47kcal/g, gasoline is 10kcal/g, and natural gas is 13kcal/g. Plus the Calories and costs required to provide for the needs of the staff of bicyclists. Big feelings, but nothing overwhelming. So Im going to cast my net among my friends and see who might like to come help me read the chapter of Doors of Stone for yall. Quick post today, as I only have two hours before Im going to be playing some D&D over on my twitch stream at 2:00 CST today with these fabulous people. 4. Ask them how much energy we get from protein, and theyll give the standard 4 kcal/gram answer. And also, we still needed more stretch goal prizes for the team page. Irvine, California is the classic automobile city. BDSM 02/04/20: Fallen Angel - Seductive Angel: 5 Part Series That would be more ambitious than what you attempted. Damn. If you use some of that for transportation, it really doesnt matter what ratio of fossil fuel to food energy; youre still coming out ahead because that energy is being put to work rather than being wasted as hot air. Bicycles makes sense for more people than you say. Theyre a wonderful luxury, and theres so much thatd be impossible without them. The National Household Travel Survey has found pretty consistently that the average occupancy of passenger cars and light trucks (SUVs, pickups, etc.) http://newurbannetwork.com/news-opinion/links/15408/messy-street-patterns-boost-walking, Messy street patterns provide the most functional urban space. Of course our calory intake doesnt depend much on the miles walked or bicycled. Hold on, Phil Foglio wrote the foreword? In other words, if you look in terms of the energy of vitality, or vital energy delivered by food, this calories assessment is not all that accurate. Ive been meaning to write a blog on mental health for the whole month of May (Its mental health awareness month.) I find the entire concept baffling at best. I dont know if this is a good introduction to the game or not. This kickstarter isnt just me trying to bring a book I love back into print. I use my bike during the summer for lots of getting around the city stuff, walking too. I asked if I could help. Nooo That sounds wierd. Pallets of books. This wouldnt apply to every immediate situation, but theres evidence that averaged over a whole regional population and over a sufficient time span, decisions would trend this way. Im also *very* pleased that folks seem to be liking the new stretch goals I up on my team page. That I dont read introductions. WebHearst Television participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. Interestingly, the effective drag area, cDA0.4m for a bicycle can be beat by an entire four-seat car having, for example, a frontal area around 2m and cD0.2. Anyway, neglecting the exercise is healthy and can result in eating less angle, I think the obvious answer is electric bikes Cheap, fast, easy, and WAY efficient! Pimentel has done significant work in this area, for instance. Im glad you said this: I have always suspected a broken correlation, but have never dug in to the topic. AS WELL AS two copies of the limited edition cover of of Vault of Magic from Kobold Press that I wrote a part of, personalized by me, with some of the rare D&D cards. Great post. It is only since I had a velomobile that I have been able to race at an average of nearly 25 mph for nearly hours. But pickup trucks are less fuel-efficient than ocean-going vessels, as you point out. Even with the food cost tossed in biking is better than cars and walking is even with cars. The beauty of my having done the calculation both with and without base metabolism and laying out the assumptions explicitly is that if you dont like my choices, you can roll your own calculation or selectively ignore the parts you dont like. Even a 10% loss in efficiency would be enough to make this a not-so-good idea. The person who bought the $50 bike has the right idea. Im not sure that MPG of a human is the important factor when it comes to a bicycle. Just feelings. Bringing a book back into print is pretty much the same thing, just on a vaster scale. The Tak kickstarter blew the doors off and we raised well over $1,000,000 dollars. What would she even think of what my life looks like now? The resemblance to David Bowie is uncanny. As you note, it assumes that human metabolism is perfect and functions as a bomb calorimeter. ). Im hoping some of my friends will like the idea too. We talked. Whats that thing way down at the bottom there? You can show up to enjoy the Q&A live over here, or catch the VOD after were done. It still doesnt feel great, but it feels better knowing *why* I feel nervous. Brasilia, near the opposite end of the spectrum, has 92 intersections, and you dont walk there, The Vancouver Sun reported Jacobs as saying. Huge potential to shift from internal combustion engines to electrical propulsion, further increasing the range of potential energy sources (nuclear, renewables). I dont think I need to do the calculation: bikes would win by a wide margin in total energy. This presents an additional 3 Newtons of force to overcome. So you would divide the food economy values we calculated by 2.2 to get the fuel economy that supported your bike trip or hike. All the latest news, views, sport and pictures from Dumfries and Galloway. . Huge advantages of cars (speed, comfort, convenience, privacy, flexibility, etc.). Almost at 100,000 and were not even three hours in. Im scaredthey are whipping him out. I hear you like Books. I turn to face Digger with an expansive gesture. click Command-D). His desire quickly turns to obsession as he stalks her both online and in real life. But for a cross-country bike trip that may last days, you would consider the cycling to be your sole energetic activity and should count all your food energy as going in support of that mission (even sleeping and resting are necessary to keep going). Heres the hard truth: Im biased toward digger. To get a real comparison, wed have to compare the habits and diets of a typical motorist with a typical bicyclist and see how calorie intake varies with bicycle miles. This ignores the EROEI of extracting oil, refining it, and delivering it to a gas station. But try to get up the votes to transition a city to bikes/walking from cars. * the areal requirements of road surfaces on the extent of cities and thus the average travel distance The per-passenger metric is a really good one. The smoothness of the terrain can have a noticeable effect on this energy cost. I tried to relax and was mostly successful. (If you dont know what Im talking about with that, youll have to check out Yesterdays blog.). After stuffing myself over Thanksgiving, I am curious to know how potent human fuel can be. So I get a taste of both the manic and the depressive. Whats more, its no longer the night before the kickstarter, its the morning of. It seems like every time I try to post up a blog, even a quick one. WebHeres the hard truth: Im biased toward digger. The density argument is just one of a long list of many excuses which people make and myths that they believe about how the Netherlands is different to their own country. He finds out his wife wants to expand their marriage. I feel like over the last 4-5 years, I havent shared more than 10% of the stuff here thats available online. Shipping being *wildly* disrupted. expends 3.8kcal per minute. Theres one thing you have forgotten: Loving Wives 05/11/06: A Hot Summer Day Ch. Could you maybe do a full post on the energy costs of food? Theres going to be a *lot* of people on the livestream tomorrow, so it will be harder than normal for me to pull them straight out of the chat. You cant trust me to be impartial about Digger. As a result, hes crushingly literate with a tender heart and has a real distaste for what he refers to as Dead Dog Books. Which is to say, books where theres needless tragedy, cruelty, violence, etc. This is all well and good until one appreciates that because of the way Americans grow, harvest, distribute, and prepare their food, every one kilocalorie of food eaten has consumed about 10kcal of fossil fuel energy (dominated by oil). If this kickstarter flops, its not just a single project, its maybe the future projects, too. Im worried because were doing this one as a 21 day kickstarter, instead of my typical 31 that Ive always done before. Jumping at small noises. Simply said, I dont want to tell you about this book. Id known about the thirty-minute commute tolerance (from reading Traffic), but hadnt thought about using that to solve the dilemma that stems people using different modes of transportation tend to select their location of residence differently (e.g., I moved in closer tothe city after I began cycling). Imagine if we were comparing gallons of fuel for nuclear reactors instead. I went on a trip by bicycle last year, going a little over 6,000 miles total across Canada and the US. Wed need waterways or rail for heavy transport. Walking yes you can do over rough ground, but cycling requires a good surface or the rolling resistance balloons. I should have said that long-distance transport is generally much more efficient than short-distance transport. Im trying to do my best on this project, because I love Ursulas book. So the metabolic portion is 50% of the transportation piece for cars (much smaller for the SUV driver), and therefore not as big a deal as for human-powered transport. Then wed play together, have some fun, raise scads of money to feed hungry kids, and make the world a better place. What about personal-powered transportnamely, walking and biking? And I dont think bikes make sense for more than a tiny fraction of our travel. We made the big announcement then. To make LA even remotely as bike-oriented as Amsterdam or other Dutch cities youd essentially have to tear it down and rebuild it from scratch. Covid problems. The only place the sail boats come out on top is in range, and when you consider the amount of physical exertion required to them moving, even that is debatable. So yes, I think we should treat caloric content of food as an upper limit to metabolic activity. As Ive already said, sharing books is one of my favorite things. Here is a calculator which lets you compare what speed youd travel at for the same energy input for various different bicycles including several commercially available velomobiles. That rounds to 1 for one significant figure, which matches your original numbers. you can head over here to see for yourself. Los Angeles, like most other U.S. cities, was designed around the car. For comparison, electric cars turn in performances around 30kWh/100-mi, and a 40MPG car uses 90kWh/100-mi (but beware a direct comparison between these last two: if the electricity is derived from fossil fuels, the fossil fuel investment becomes similar for the two: well get to this for food in a bit). If my job here is to introduce you to the book shouldnt I do it in the same way I introduce people? http://scottabel.blogspot.com/2011/03/calories-myth.html. When the price of oil spiked several years ago, one of my friends gave up his car and rode a bicycle to work. Work is force times distance, so over 1000m this turns into 3kJ for a total of 16kJ to go one kilometer on the bike. I do it so much that I buy my favorite books in bulk, so I always have a copy I can hand to someone. And on perspective: I would argue that energy per unit time, and not energy per unit distance, is the relevant metric. Id like to thank yall for that. So theres one day left on the kickstarter, and among the many stretch goals weve unlocked while bringing Digger back into print, was one where I said folks would get a sneak peek of the foreword. First off, lets be clear. One specific But Underthing press Its something Ive kinda wanted to do for a decade. A simple thought experiment should be enough to confirm your suspicions that all kCal of foods are not created equal. WebOtter's transcription AI technology is built to get smarter and better understand your conversations over time - applying speaker identification, custom vocabulary, and advanced summary so you can work and collaborate smarter. He came up with the following: 0.15 cal per km per gram for biking and 0.75 cal per km per gram for walking. Neither can Barnes and Noble. On the fly in the ointment: if were going to scale the MPG of walking and cycling by the fossil fuel requirements that go into making our food, then for comparison we also need to know the scale factor for getting gasoline from oil well to refinery to gas stations, because our sense of what a good MPG doesnt include this. And, of course, they have different EROI figures as well. When I was 8, while walking through the woods with my father, he asked me to wait a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and casually pushed over a huge, fully-grown tree. Hell, Im publishing it. 02 (4.43) A husband and wife's adventures continue. So you would divide the food economy values we calculated by 2.2 to get the fuel economy that supported your bike trip or hike. On family backpacking trips (many decades ago), I learned that a little fat goes a long way. Im going to do you one better than that. If its light, cheap, and reliable. A gallon of what? More often I think of them as belonging in the same circle of hell as spoilers, paid endorsements, and people who talk in the theatre. Theres a lot to be said for cars. Otherwise its just a mood. Concerns generally focus on how the GMO may affect the environment or how it may affect the consumer. That people would hear the news, get excited, then come in and make it a race. Things like that are disproportionate and disruptive. Its also testing the waters to see if we can make Underthing Press work. If youre in good-enough biking shape to contemplate a multi-day cross-country trip, you can probably maintain about 100 miles (160km) per day. Hello there. And an adequate supply of calories weighs less. Im exposed to rain, wind, snow, extreme temperatures, road noise and other unpleasant environmental conditions. Historical examples: maybe Suchou in the 50s? I find this to be suspicious, given that the drag energy varies by a factor of 5 for the three speeds. Long-distance transport consumes only about 2% of the energy used for food, with most of the remaining energy being used on fertilizer production, farm machinery, and transportation from the supermarket to your house. Huge reserves of fossil fuels. Heres the thing, Ive met a lot of cool folks over the years. But the kickstarter has done well enough that we can manage it. Quotes changing. Thick as a cinderblock. But, as is often the case when I play a game, I kinda push at things to see what I can get away with narratively and creatively. Waking up in the middle of the night sweating. I need to do a lot more research, but, at least at this early stage, it seems deserving of such research. I think the right answer may be that we can use protein for energy, when our bodies need the energy more than the amino acid building blocks. Regular commuters often cruise in the ballpark of 20 mph, and from experience you can easily add at least 5 mph by putting enough such riders in a well-disciplined pack. I can set the temperature, humidity and ventilation to my liking, as I enjoy a smooth, quiet ride while listening to the radio or music through my 6-speaker sound system. You can trust him. The extra energy we use to support our lifestyles is not all waste, pollution, and extravagance, but allows us to live lives that are not dominated by coping with the environment that Nature hands to us. http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2010/09/the-velomobile-high-tech-bike-or-low-tech-car.html. The Fundraiser runs until midnight on the 14th. Thanks for helping me roll this rock. I find that this corresponds very closely with the difference between my bicycles and velomobile. Wikipedia suggests that the average is about 1.3 passengers per car, which matches my own guesstimate. To paraphrase the beginning of the article. Hes read it dozens of times. Once youve recovered from that perversion, we should add rolling resistance, using a coefficient of 0.004 times the 800N weight (based on 80kg mass, or 180lb for rider plus bike). Amsterdam was designed around much slower forms of transportation. Every time I tweet, whenever I leave my house for a walk, I know theres probably a 50/50 chance of someone coming up to me and asking me about it. Feel free to show up and watch us D&D it live later today if you like. But anyway. So there you go. I hesitate to put these numbers into a table for fear that they will be taken literally and treated as definitive numbers. And so while it was cool, it was also a bit of a shame. Sometimes its just casual, sometimes its aggressive, but its always a possibility. Ninth House has a very sexy premise: In Leigh Bardugos first offering to the adult genre, Yale University wears claws hidden in a velvet glove, magic doesn't require skill so much as a steady lavishing of grotesqueries, and men in power use their loyalty to underground societies to further their own ambitionswithout counting the cost. a few words you're probably going to have to look up. This would produce many benefits, including greater safety, less road congestion, and more efficient use of roads and parking areas. At small scales, and non-optimal operating points (steep hills, long flats, etc) the mechanical electrical efficiency especially will drop quite a bit and youll probably be looking at more like 60% 70% or less. Enamored with Efficiency? (Im really happy with how the logo turned out.). With regard to the comment about large ships. Heres the archived video on twitch, if youre interested. Ech. Point taken. I think it would also be useful to compare gallons of a standard fuel, in order to directly compare the energy required of travel. It has just 15 intersections, the lowest Ive ever counted., See: In the Netherlands, which is definitely a first world country and rather wealthy compared with most countries, over a quarter of all journeys are by bicycle. This is truly the closest thing we could get to eating a gallon of gasoline proper. And my plans are more prone to that than most. Now walking consumes 1834MPG of oil equivalent, and biking comes in at 70130MPG. Ursula is a delight, and Im excited to get the chance to chat with her. Refining gasoline exacts another 25% tax. Plus the books get damaged boxing and unboxing. The true metric should be distance per unit of energy. This effectively adds a 33% energetic cost to the 100-mile day. The simplest definition of a calorie is a larger unit of energy this unit of energy is equal to the heat required to raise the temperature of 1KG of pure water by 1 degree Celsius. Sounds pretty complicated and mathematical, and it more or less is. Air resistance is negligible. to make for a realistic calculation, but well occasionally multiply our result by a factor of 4.5 to get the gas/lard equivalent. @Ben: bicycles require pavement toonot nearly as much as cars but near the turn of the 20th century some of the original advocates of paving roads were cyclists. So I get a taste of both the manic and the depressive. P.S. Whenever I write a foreword or introduction, I feel the need to explain that I dont like introductions. Hell, just getting back the on-street parking would be hugeturn all that into dedicated full-sized exclusive bike lanes, and youd see lots of people too scared to bike today suddenly decide biking is a lot more fun than fighting over that last spot in the garage. Were killing it this year. Anyway, one of the things I regret leaving by the wayside is posting up blogs of stuff Id done that you could access online. I wouldnt fancy doing my 10 mile cycle into work that I did this morning on roads/paths that are any worse than they currently are. Weve worked through a lot of numbers, under various interpretations. 17% of our energy turns into 1700 Watts per person, or 35,000kcal per day. See world news photos and videos at ABCNews.com As I finally begin to write this blog, it is 2:58 AM on Friday morning. I gave him my Omnibus edition of Bone back when he was 7. I presented two methods of accounting that bracket the numbers. Hell, I probably *should* write a blog about Labyrinth. As it is, Im just angry about my face.). There are of course lots of interconnecting dimensions that are hard to get a good handle on. Im honestly, legitimately surprised. Still not in the ballpark of our net-energy-sink food story. I live in Santa Monica and bicycle to work on a borrowed bike the marginal energy costs are really close to zero, since the increase in food intake is negligible over driving or taking the bus. For the avoidance of doubt, this isnt a blog about Labyrinth. Arent you in for a suprise. So there is a 10:1 ratio. Im probably being slow, but why divide by 2.2, and not by 10 or 11? Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that bringing Digger back was going to be harder. I did the calculation for myself. The feeling of being a little scared and keyed up and nervous isnt bad or wrong. My hand to glob. These two familys take lots of vacations, children that have never worked, go out for lavish dinners, champagne life on a cheap beer budget. Applying the same principles to our more common methods of transportation and its painfully obvious that the down slope of the fossil fuel consumption curve is going to be quite an interesting ride! The reality is far more complex. Couldnt we do better by eating a bucket of lard? Despite these hurdles, were putting the final touches on our initial e-mail, that lets you know whats up, and includes a poll so we can gather your thoughts about what youd really like out of Archetects in the coming year so we can focus our energies there. Yes yes. Less wasted time, too. I dont know what you might be expecting from a forward, but odds are you wont find it here. (They know what this is because daddys an author. But my kid? The TLDR is here, if you want.). For tar sands, etc., the EROEI may be in the 35:1 range, resulting in something like a 2033% tax. I suspect the two of you will form a delightful acquaintance.. They simply couldnt afford to bring it back with the cost of paper being what it is these days. This is a tiny fraction of the caloric content of our gallon of food, implying that we could go for almost 1150 miles per gallon! The second book I want do publish with Underthing Press is the graphic novel of The Boy the Loved the Moon that Ive been working on with Nate Taylor for years now. But before our victory lap in the velodrome, we should put the bike activity in some context. We have only counted the marginal energy required to bike. Really. Or at least not until recently. I flipped a couple pages to look at the art and suddenly there was a full splash page showing Ganesha. So yeah. We also neglected the start/stop energy dissipated in braking for the in-town rider, which will reduce the mileage a bit. Ive seen several other estimates coming at it from different directions always getting similar answers. Ugh. I encountered not few pears, blackberries and hazelnuts. Also not exactly what you mean by cars chewing up pavement but if youre talking about damage and its eventual repair and repaving then cars actually dont do much damage. Eventually I find a copy for $600 on a rare book site, but thats it. They used a Ford Escort for their case study. Edit: 1:31 pm In the last 12 hours, through the dark hours of night when I was mostly asleep, the team page has raised another $60,000 unlocking double sets HeroQuest and the cool, Wooden-box version of Risk from Avalon Hill. Yeah. (SO close to cracking a quarter million.) So here we are, and what I meant to be a blog about the kickstarter Im launching tomorrow has the most ADHD opening ever, and then segues into me talking about anxiety. When Next Generation came out, we tuned in for the premiere and groused about how weird and wrong the new ship looked then tuned in every week to watch the new episodes faithfully, getting over our bullshit and quickly growing to love it. And the gas/lard equivalent is about 1300MPG! And then I should leave. Did I ever tell the story of the time I dressed up as Jareth from Labyrinth? There were paper shortages, printers Id worked with in the past had gone out of business. The card kickstarter went really well too, So why am I so nervous about this one? Conventional oil has an EROEI of 20:1, so a 5% tax to get it out of the ground. Also? But that doesnt mean it comes for free. For one thing, I still havent beaten the Ender Dragon. It was before I had two kids, back before I was trying to run a charity (as opposed to sometimes just running a fundraiser, which is a big difference.) Nothing fancy, mostly just me fretting and being surprised. Carbohydrates and protein come in at 4kcal/gram, while fat registers 9kcal/g. Feeling of being a little scared and keyed up and watch US D & D it live later if! Forward, but, at least at this early stage, it assumes that human metabolism is perfect functions!
