Why solar will soon dominate & what that means for the world
  • It is a sign of market opportunity and batteries will come into play more.

    But it will always be cheaper in the middle of the day so demand shift would be good.

    Things like heating, cooling, water, washing, cleaning, charging. All being done in the middle of the day will be the easy wins.

    But certainly in high production low usage times the arse is going to fall out of the price. But really how many processes can run for short durations? Most high energy processes are high capital and run 24/7.

  • Do you have a vasectomy? Why or why not?
  • I had issues with my epididymis being painful years ago.

    One of the reasons km not sure about vasectomy.

    Is epididymis issues a common side. Feel like I'm playing with fire if I have had issues before doing anything that might make those issues worse.

  • What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100?
  • There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

    For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

    So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

    The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply "You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly"

    He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.

  • Solar panels between railway tracks?
  • These people can get fucked. Everyone can get fucked. We don't need new ideas we need old ones.

    We need the market to be able to react. Being able to build on land, fuck the NIMBYs. And being able to connect to the grid quickly, there is different ways to sort this but it comes from government intervention.

    Then if you want more progress it's externalities. Tax fossil fuels and use the same money to subsidise renewables and batteries, and grid upgrades.

    Or another possibility is mandate shutdowns based on a percentage over time (this will work better for EVs I think than than utility power. "Oh you want tariff on Chinese cars. Well fine you will have that for 10 years and in return 100% of your sales need to be evs in 10 years and to get you moving in 5 years its 25%, 6 40%, 7 55%, 8 70%, 9 75%.")

    It's getting so tiring now that they have evidence of what works and instead just talk about how the worlds going to be different in 2050. Start building some fucking grid upgrades then. You know it is going to take 10 years tondo anything meaningful, you know you are 10 years behind, you know if you build it they will come.

  • Is it possible to learn this power?
  • If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

    Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

    I bet every actor is on fin.

  • Magic Mineral
  • The first time I learnt about my asbestos I was about 12 and my mum was going off at my dad about it. This was after we just took a load of roofing off an old shed without masks or gloves.

    Thinking of it. He also give me fucking tinnitus when I was like 22. Really should have fucking learnt my lesson by then :(

  • Magic Mineral
  • God: "I'll make a wonder material. Fire proof. Strong. Insulating. Just dig it up from the ground. Common a fuck. Waterproof."

    "Then they can all get cancer the cunts"

    "Okay I'm done shit posting for now. Where's that big tittie blonde gone"

  • Fun fact!
  • Mate you got some serious, serious problems. And you need to take a step back and look at your life. You have an internet addition if nothing else. You obsess over arguments and have a superiority complex.

    You need therapy.

    I literally don't care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years. Why should I care about him, out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy. I don't. I don't care. Why him specifically? There are much much more interesting people out there that I just don't care about Columbus even slightly fuck him and fuck you.

    The fuck you is justified because you said this to me

    Maybe you're okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

    You want a reaction out of me so you can block me. If you are going to hide behind your mod powers because thats all you go, and going to make out people are racist because I don't care about one guy you want to get in an argument about. Then you're a cunt.

    This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as "a guy who helped the German economy."

    What's the comparison exactly? What did i (not you) say about Columbus that is equivalent to that?

    You're full of shit.

  • Fun fact!
  • He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

    I know who he is I just don't care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don't give a shit about Columbus.

    Even in terms of explorers he's a shit one. I'd rather read about someone else.

  • Fun fact!
  • So you are just circle jerking over the fact that you all share the exact same idea that didn't need to be said because you all know it. But by announcing it you can all circle jerk over the fact that you all had the same view?

  • Fun fact!
  • Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.

    Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.

    Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.

    No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That's why its woke, its pointless. It's not interesting or funny.

    The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out. The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024

    ember-climate.org The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out

    The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, after a rapid 12-year decline which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters.

    The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out

    "The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

    "This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

    "Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

    Waymo eyes S.F. robotaxi expansion, personal vehicles after first-year ‘success’

    "the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

    Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

    David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

    “Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

    Men, how do you deal with the misandry online. Does it affect you mentally?

    Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

    It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

    Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

    "There is no evidence of a large rise in suicides in young patients attending a gender identity clinic in London, an independent review has found."

    "Prof Appleby's review concludes "the data do not support the claim".

    And he added that the way the issue had been discussed on social media was "insensitive, distressing and dangerous".

    "A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said decisions on children's healthcare must follow the evidence at all times."

    How Quantum Dots Could Change the Future of Solar

    "Quantum dot technology has been in TVs for years, so why isn’t it already in solar panels? Well, there are a few challenges. If we can engineer around these challenges, then these little devices could have a BIG impact - breaking the limits of our current solar panels, and ushering in a new and radically more efficient age of solar energy."
