Gov staffers manning Bsky, here's an article for the Gov to review:
Cheaper, cleaner energy drives Germany's balcony-solar boom

Governor, the easiest, quickest boost is to authorize UL certified 'balcony solar.' Germany allows 800watts without getting approval by the respective utility company. Utah was the 1st US state to approve it.

Good story:
Once, big alligator gars were there. I landed one with a dip net, flagged my mom who happened by while driving home. I opened the car's trunk & tossed in a huge, 5ft long, vicious-looking gar. Mom wasn't happy but was used to this sort of thing with me. I released it soon thereafter
I grew up on the banks of a wide estuary but, better yet, there was a shallow, narrow, meandering creek within easy biking distance at the end of our road. I all but lived there for years.

IMO, the likely answer to the Fermi Paradox is that the lifetime of intelligent civilizations is short given the scale of time and the period where they might achieve warp speed space travel even shorter. The chance that two blips it time might coexist and intersect is very, very small. Now....

I wouldn't reply, though, because Bsky is already balkanized regarding LLMs. I do have deep concerns about the existential threats many are -or will be- facing sooner that their denial allows.

>we have to make it so
Denial is an extraordinarily powerful force amongst humans
but it allows me a much different, 'ticker-tape' UI using the 'push' feed of the Firehose which I prefer over the slab view of everything a user I'm following posts.
So, Follow if you'd like but you won't see a Follow-Back if I do so client-side. Sorry.
After 13 months of building feed/filtering scripts, re-building those scripts, and adding support & development scripts I've hammered the Firehose feed into shape as my primary feed while abandoning the social concept of "Following" or friending. I DO have a Watch List client-side that is similar

If you haven't already done so, I suggest adding 'Louisiana Tabasco Peppers in Vinegar' to your medicine cabinet. Available on Amz in a 6-pack.
Excuse me while I go ping someone I know that is enroute on I-95. I now need them to stop at Buckee's for your anti-stress Rx.
