I'd hope that If he's smart enough to feel tired of repping big oil, and continues to be good enough to play pro baseball for a while, I'm sure he can find a way to live a comfortable and happy life. If he starts actively attacking big oil... that might be harder...

Hell yeah borther!

Are the platform panels the bit the matress goes on?

[–] phant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I still have an original GoPro HD Hero and it still works fine. Battery is like 50% capacity as expected, but yeah, otherwise still working.

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 🙃

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 😂

[–] phant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 😅

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

[–] phant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

 
 

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).
