Look, it’s a squirrel!

Add a disk and migrate to raid 6.

Base solar panel = 14% effecient x 1000 = 14,000% effecient. The only way the math works is if the new panels are 100% efficient and they are referencing a rock as a standard solar panel. I’m calling BS.

If they’d just incorporated, they’d be fine!!! Ask the tobacco companies…

Thanks, Captain Obvious!!!

You are right. However, with policy changes, we also need a tenable plan for a hydrogen economy that is physically and economically possible. The tech to produce and handle hydrogen on that scale does not exist, and much like carbon capture and storage, they are likely to remain a pipe dream; numbers don’t add up. We’ve spent a century building infrastructure that has no use other than extracting and processing fossil fuels. That we have enough resources to make the transition to a clean economy is in serious doubt at this time.

It does make a nice talking point to make everyone feel better about technology saving us from ourselves in the future, though. It’s certainly much more palatable than talking about the overshoot of the human population.

Yes it is. Haber-Bosch process is where all our ammonia comes from, and it’s fed via petrochemical stocks. No oil = no food.

Weeds aren’t a problem, but typically the fertilizers for hydro are petroleum based, and therefore not sustainable.

Today I learned nothing. Bad link.

How many times do we have to say it: Please stop naming your baby hippos, “Jeffery Dahmer”.

Good call. I like that.

What’s that? Is it the sound of Energy Cost of Energy knocking at the door? Oh, and look at this, they’ve left a pamphlet titled “The bell tolls for thee, intensive input agricultural base, it tolls for thee”

Yup, I’m guessing that’ll do it all right. Knit a few pairs of socks, and just normalize the world away!

This is why we are doomed. People take a look at the dumpster fire that’s life now and say, “Have you tried knotting socks and not being sad?”

Myself, I reply with what I hope is understanding and compassion, and say, “Yes indeed, things look bleak. You, unknown internet person, are not alone in feeling this way”

Save you some reading time: None of your damn business. Health care is between a doctor and patient and ain’t our concern.

Excellent. We’ll done.

Love it!!!

Those and round phone jacks about every 10 feet or so. There’s a phone jack in the hallway! Not even connected to a landline anymore. And because we opted for the ultra-deluxe old home, an intercom system that made a zapping noise accompanied by a perfect little curl of smoke when we turned it on for the first time. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!
