I just wanted to say thank you for arguing against the celebration of the murder of children.

You are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your compassionate indignation, I agree fully.

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.

Its truly not bad until you finish the cup and your mouth feels like you just chewed and swallowed a hunk of butter for the next 45 minutes.

That's so cool.

I'm disengaging.

Data instead of anecdotes?

Agreed.

My partner worked in non-profits for years. Her advice is find local organizations (homeless shelters, local LGBT orgs, neighborhood revitalization orgs, ect.) that DO NOT have a national (central) office. Get to know their staff, their mission, and then make pledges to pay $X per month for the next X years. This is how they can best do the work they are passionate about to help people in need. Don't put strings on the money and you are moving closer to mutual aid than tyranny.

lmao. the politics understander has logged on.

Was that Halo or Call of Duty?

Hope the 360 is emulated well one day (maybe it is now, I haven't checked in a couple years) because I'd really like to nostalgia over Fable 2 again.
