Yep. We changed our home lightbulbs to LED, we got more efficient heating/cooling systems and appliances installed in our homes. (My gov provided incentives for these things). I thought it was to reduce our energy consumption and save us some cash on bills. But nup, turns out it just freed up energy to burn on LLM data centres.

Resignation sent. Today's gonna be an interesting one πŸ™ƒ

This is a really good thing tho. Great new job lined up to start in a month. Will leave my current company in the shit, but they get what they give.

Blocked storm water drain puddle mode?

Haha, I was actually trying to refer to some kind of solar panel that would shade pedestrians when it's hot and get outta tha way when it's not. I had forgotten that a tree is solar powered πŸ˜‚

Yeah, a lot to think about and forward plan. In Australia I think the social engineering required to detach people from cars would be the hardest part πŸ˜…

Some kind of "deciduous" solar panel in those pedstrian areas would be cool. Or something to that effect~

Absolutely all of this. And agreed. But I think part of the Solar Punk ethos is to pose these questions and speculate on dream implementations of current tech in ways that can offer nicer/more staisfying outcomes. Part of that would be taking a bit more time instead of racing towards the quickest goal post.
And some of the ideas will still stink, but hey haha, it's fun.

Hopefully OP can achieve the "design I like and well built" parts. 2 outta 3 aint bad. And if it is well built it should last a life time and then it's cost-schmost.

Agreed on build pics!

Such a great album. One of my faves is "Vow" - the stereo tremolo effect of the hard L/R panned guitars is so good.

News articles with dynamic scrolling that like, gradually reveal a graph and drip feed text. Just show me the fucking graph and text. Fuck.

Probably bought ahead of time, from China to save on tarrifs.

 
 

I learned a few things from recent rolls. Yep, this camera has a sizable light leak. And the new scanners at airports cause noticeable Xray damage (never used to have a problem).
