2023-04-24 at 7:49 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastGive up your car, or you hate the planet. Learn to live without electricity, simple as
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/op-ed-how-i-gave-up-alternating-current/The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?
The grid, smart or not, is wasteful. Power generation produces 32% of all greenhouse gases, more than any other economic sector. Most power in the US is generated by burning coal, immediately squandering 67% of its energy, then run through a steam turbine, losing another 50%, then sent across transmission lines, losing another 5%, then to charge a DC device like a cell phone another 50% is lost in conversion. This means for 100 watts of coal or oil burned my phone gets a mere 16. In this light a solar panel that is 18% efficient doesn’t seem that bad.
Instead of ever increasing our energy production, what if we focused instead on reducing our consumption? I expect power will be at a premium in our first space colonies, and DC only from solar cells. So, I embarked on an experiment to see if I could survive without the luxury of alternating current. -

Originally posted by Sweet It's not a solved issue because it's one of the few things at one of those exact points in the process chain where NIMBYism actually game theoretically makes sense and is very understandable. It makes sense on every level in fact. Local municipal, city, county, state, country level.
IT'S HARMLESS, dumbfuck.
Originally posted by Sweet The real solution to this particular NIMBY issue is that it actually has to be in everyone's backyard.
It already is and there has never been an accident, leak, spill or disaster because PRIVATE COMPANIES run it
You know who is behind every nuclear accident ever in history? THE GOVERNMENT
The market already solved this issue, it's safe and will never harm anyone, meanwhile we are still cleaning up after the goberment polluting the world with HARMFUL nuclear waste.
Any community that supports NIMBY anti nuclear is pro government retardation and when you leave it to non-market, government solutions you will have accidents, because they are not motivated by safety or environmentalism, but instead will just do anything for money or votes.
https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-stranded-nuclear-waste-20170702-htmlstory.htmlBut the San Onofre nuclear power plant will loom for a long time as a landmark, its 1,800 tons of lethal radioactive waste stored on the edge of the Pacific and within sight of the busy 5 Freeway.
Across the site, deep pools of water and massive concrete casks confine high-power gamma radiation and other forms of radioactivity emitted by 890,000 spent fuel rods that nobody wants there.
And like the other 79,000 tons of spent fuel spread across the nation, San Onofre’s nuclear waste has nowhere to go.
The nation’s inability to find a permanent home for the dangerous byproduct of its 50-year-adventure in nuclear energy represents one of the biggest and longest running policy failures in federal government history.
Now, the Trump administration and Congress are proposing a fast track fix. The new plan aims, after decades of delays, to move the waste to one or more temporary central storage sites that would hold it until a geologic repository can be built in Nevada or somewhere else.
But the new strategy faces many of the same challenges that have dogged past efforts, leaving some experts doubtful that it can succeed. -

2023-04-24 at 6:13 PM UTC in what's the last thing you bought?Don't be a sucker, don't pay. Those profits are going to MORE regulation and more of the same from sedentary politicians and to fund their anti capitalist police
That's why business owners can't afford to pay a "living wage" because everything gets jacked up from too much regulation, minimum wage is just another dagger into the back of small business owners leaving them with no profit, so they are forced to raise prices EVEN MORE, it has the reverse effect.
Theft is protected by insurance so you are actually doing them a favor and wasting police resources on "crime" that shouldn't even be a police issue in the first place AND fucking over insurance companies forcing them to pay out to the people that actually create jobs.
FOLX?!

This is 100% the Biden CIA controlled media clamping down on the message, they went off script. (((They))) don't care if the company loses money, get rid of them or you all get sent to a CIA black site and waterboarded

2023-04-24 at 5:27 PM UTC in Tucker "Invade Canada" Carlson and Don "sucks on" Lemon FIREDFolx both the left and rights most skitzo talking heads have been shitcanned for being wrong about literally everything, for years.
It's pretty sad because they were probably the most entertaining because of their batshit takes but they both went off the deep end long, long ago and have been making fools of themselves and their networks with everything thats come out, probably since before covid, the TRUMP IS KING movement, BLM.
I for one, am going to listen to their podcasts.
If they get on another network then I will feel different, But I support them both because despite disagreeing with both sides I think they provide interesting insight into the skitzo left/right and now the news is trying to be more like tiktok and dropping the "American Media Model" of constant IN YOUR FACE arguments, making everything an argument.
I will be posting my best clips of them in this thread please share memories, love and lit! -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker I remember in grade school we had to classes of around 25 kids each. They were literally called class A and Class B. Class A consisted of the were the kids who's grades has been in the top 50% the previous year and Class B was the bottom 50%.
I remember many of the dolts in class B trying and failings to upset other kids by mispronouncing their names or using an insulting fictitious "middle name". Much like you are failing to do with me.
It causes me to speculate that perhaps the reason no woman wants you is due to apparent retarded emotional development on your part. No woman wants to be with a boy.
You are like a 9 or ten year old boy in the way your emotions cause you to react towards strangers on the internet when they upset you. You should reflect upon this and strive to mature emotionally.
