Hydroelectricity

Destroys aquaculture. TVA has absolutely killed those rivers, and there is no way to sugar coat that.

Geothermal can't be used in most places (but should absolutely be used where it can be)

Biomass is just burning shit all over again (thought that was the point of not burning coal).

I'm also skeptical of the pivot from using renewables as a decentralized solution and then touting a massive grid which requires lots of infrastructure. Unless your problem with centralization is targetability by bombing.

I've not heard much about compressed air as an energy storage medium, or thermal storage besides from using solar arrays to reflect light and melt a metal core (like Gemasolar which is another centralized solution), but I've heard nothing good about hydrogen except from breathless techbro types.

Meanwhile Nuclear is a mature technology now, absolutely a less dangerous solution than coal (even without looking a climate change knock-on effects, just looking at the effects coal dust has on populations near coal-fired plants), and can be used to meet the base-load of a local grid with various renewable solutions used to meet peak load demands.

Fwiw, and I could be wrong about this, I've heard the origins of the heavily distorted sound comes from bands having to overvolt smaller amplifiers to try to match the sound of the PA systems some bigger bands were traveling with in the age before a venue could be counted on to have a decent PA system to plug into.

Not on his whims though, he can't just go outside alone. And before we had a yard it was on leash only, which is something most people could do if their cat did show antsy behavior.

Apes of the State have a cool sound, will have to dig more into them.

Even apartments can be build better. Concrete subfloor units with proper baffling (air gap between units, also makes utility work easier) means I've only heard neighbors when they were doing things like using a drill.

It's just as illegal for a rich man and a poor man to sleep under a bridge and other such nonsense

A rice cooker could be a game changer. We've experimentally cooked Aldi's bagged risotto in ours to good result, so I'd bet any rice-a-roni or other boxed and flavored rice dish would be an easy fire and forget meal. Just add water, turn it on, and come back in 30 minutes.

Also, Instant Pots make really easy rice and lentils dishes (lentils and white rice cook together perfectly) that can be saved and eaten on for days, or probably even frozen like a DIY tv dinner.

The "welfare cliff" I've seen discussed academically is actually focused on single mothers who lose much of their benefits when seeking employment, and must now pay for childcare, making the prospect a net loss for mother to enter the workforce after getting onto welfare benefits.

This plan only costs you your humanity. You probably weren't using it anyway.

D'aww

Around here its always second from the top on the right, but almost all of our stations are the same company.
