Carbon Tunnel Syndrome

“Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" describes the phenomenon whereby there is an overemphasis - or exclusive emphasis - on climate change, particularly carbon reduction, to the exclusion of other important sustainability issues, such as human rights, social sustainability, and equity considerations. This term conveys that the narrow focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability may result in a "tunnel vision" effect, where other equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts.
While the focus on carbon reduction is undoubtedly critical in addressing climate change, the term "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" communicates that an excessive or exclusive emphasis on this aspect of sustainability may result in unintended consequences. One potential implication of "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" is that other important sustainability issues, such as social justice, human rights, labour rights, and equity considerations, may be overlooked or marginalised in sustainability efforts.

Mâle Alpha Carbone

Cadre quinquagénaire ultra-performant qui optimise sa vie comme son vélo en carbone : plus léger, plus rapide, plus efficace.
Il affiche sa supériorité par des photos de randos cyclistes hors de prix avec ses potes corporate, avant d’upgrader sa compagne vieillissante contre une version plus fraîche (souvent une subordonnée)
Tu as vu ce que Jean-Marc a posté ? Encore une sortie vélo de 150 km avec son groupe de cadres. Ah, et il a viré sa femme pour sa stagiaire. Classique Mâle Alpha Carbone.

Carbon Skidmark

A metric to measure the actions and in-actions of powerful organisations and big business on the Climate crisis.
Used to compare the climate actions and inactions of those with power vs the everyday actions of individuals to reduce their carbon footprints.
Includes systemic actions and inactions as well as policy.
We're worried about our carbon footprints. Are those with power doing enough about their carbon skidmarks?

Aluminum Galinstan amalgam plus Palladium on Carbon

Aluminum Galinstan amalgam plus Palladium on Carbon is Aluminum Galinstan amalgam (25g to 100g Aluminum + 100g Galinstan) plus 500mg of Palladium on Carbon is something that can be used for an alternative to toxic Aluminum Mercury amalgam for reductive amination. Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone and Methylamine in Ethanol in a Carbon Dioxide inert atmosphere can be reduced to Propylhexedrine (Cyclohexyl-2-AminoPropane) and filter 90% of the Aluminum Hydroxide Ethanol water Propylhexedrine solution through a Buchner funnel with Zeolite careful not to spill over Palladium Galinstan amalgam, then add everclear to the remaining 10% in the round bottom flask, then filter 90% and you got 99% of Propylhexedrine ethanol water solution. Dry with Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate, filter through Buchner funnel, pour in a beaker, then bubble dry HCl gas through the Propylhexedrine freebase to acid salt (Acid Salting) the Propylhexedrine into Propylhexedrine HCl salt. Palladium Galinstan is reusable for Aluminum Palladium Galinstan amalgam reductive amination.
Tony: I used Aluminum Galinstan amalgam plus Palladium on Carbon to synthesize Propylhexedrine from Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone Methylimine. Al/GaInSn + Pd/C . Al/Pd/GaInSn . Alternative to Al/Hg .

The Carbonated Carousal

The act of drinking an entire bottle of soda, then giving a woman head. You then burp into the vagina; she queefs it back into your mouth. You then proceed to blow it into your partners face, go back down on them, and repeat the process as many times as possible. The ultimate experience.
Joe and I did The Carbonated Carousal last night, you wouldn’t believe how many times a girl can burp!!
