The costs used for wind/solar energy never included the cost of the required buffer storage

by jan we will be so consumed by the flavour of the month culture war (trans muslim librarians are coming for your pizza gate!) that they wont even notice its happening.

by the time they need it they'll forget who even took it away.

by the time they vote they'll just think trump saved them from leftist death panels or some shit.

edit: oh shit, the q-anon nuts are going to sprout again arn't they... le sigh

i asked my first aid instructor about DNR and he responded with a very firm "you didn't see it".

ie they ignored several decades of climate science and now we all get to pay the price.

can't compete with chinese automakers on price, performance or access to batteries so now they are retreating to their protected markets.

my best stays have been apartments... my worst stays have been in apartments.

you kinda dont know wtf you are going to get, especially on airbnb where the reviews are bs folksiness "the host is amazing, thank you so much" garbage. reviews on booking.com are much more reliable and brutally honest.

hotels maybe meh, but they are far more reliable and you have a better idea of what you are getting. a "serviced apartment" is ideal, but often $$$.

i very much understand that airbnb's sterilise communities and drive up rents. taxing the fuck out of them would remove a lot of the slum lord garbage from the market but keep the option there for ppl really want that.

queenslanders dont say "pal" like that

deffo looks like a queensland carpark though 🤔

edit: did a reverse image search, according to reddit its an old satirical post by "Barry Barrington"... still weird to end it in "pal" and not "mate"

Find this really helpful for reminding me to step away from computer, stretch, and refocus.

There are many apps that do the same thing (maybe even better!).

literally the least efficient in terms of cost and time.

battery backed renewables are a fraction of the price and are being deployed right now.

edit: the tech is cool as hell. go nuts on research reactors. nuclear medicine has saved my sisters life twice.... but i'm sorry, its just not a sane solution to the climate crisis.

This report, titled Our Changing Snowscapes: Climate Change Impacts and Recommendations for the Australian Alps developed by the Australian Mountain Research Facility and ANU, commissioned by Protect Our Winters Australia, reviews the current state of climate change impacts on the Australian Alps and puts forward recommendations for a better path forward. POW Australia commissioned this report as we found that the information on climate impacts in the Australian Alps was fragmented and outdated, with significant focus on snowfall and ecological impacts, and limited research on the social and economic consequences of climate change.

In commissioning this report, we have brought together the current breadth of knowledge of climate impacts and projections on the Australian Alps, looking specifically at a wide range of economic, social and environmental impacts. The spectacular Australian Alps extend over 1.6 million hectares of public land contained in 11 national parks and nature reserves across New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). They are home to nationally significant winter-tourism sectors, thriving and passionate regional communities and some of Australia's most unique and fragile landscapes.

sure its fun to shit on public servants being old and not wanting to change from microsoft office. there is more then a little truth in that.

but IT departments are often staffed with techs that cant and dont want to do anything but microsoft, it really doesnt matter how much better linux is.
