a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

I mean that computer is clearly running Windows 11 with Copilot. Also there are several flexible screen laptops in the works from companies all over the world.

“Superpower pursues its hard-nosed imperial interests by fighting hunger and disease“ was one of the greatest innovations in the history of the world and leftists nodded smugly while the gigacapital class destroyed it with hammers

Buddy I'm not the one using a 10 year old study that refuses to use BESS to try & claim BESS isn't viable.

It IS embarrassing that you're still hung up on a decade old paper that's been overtaken by events. A lot of Jacobson's assumptions (namely his de-prioritization BESS) have been blown out of the water!

Stay tuned for tomorrow where Donald Trump again pulls some absolutely nonsense out of his ass and traders act like its the truth before inevitably figuring out—again—that the guy notorious for bullshitting everyone all the time is bullshitting them again

My solar firm has to contract with a Beaver trapper to keep them from flooding one of our solar fields. Surely there's something we can do with this.

Yes. And for the umpteenth time, the base of the Democratic party is BLACK WOMEN. Nobody is more reliable, nobody is more consistent.

Okay last post about this I promise, but when a certain kind of person talks about "the imperial core" I get the sense they're not aware that there are washing machines in Botswana.

Jay: Guys, please don't let "skeets" stick

The experiment in decentralized naming decisions has resulted in the worst possible term

How about skoots? Can we bring back skoots? Bluesky OGs, help me out here, remember skoots?

Say what you will about Jay, but she is solely responsible for Bluesky posts being called skeets.

Right but my point was about labor saving technology not mechanized equipment. The fact that by the dawn of the 20th Century technology had progressed enough that farmers could send their children to school is an indicator of the free time made available by centuries of advancement.

Yes that was made possible by a veritable cornucopia of labor saving technologies developed over the preceding centuries. Even a hundred years ago humanity was reaping massive benefits from it.

One of the things I don't think people have really grokked yet is that we're likely to overshoot our needs when building out our green energy capacity so fast & as a consequence we're going to have a lot of spare energy to play with.

Honestly I think aviation gets solved with a combo of increased efficiency & renewables getting cheap enough that it's cost effective to make synfuel.

Solar energy penetration U.S. 2024| Statista Solar energy accounted for some 6.91 percent of electricity generation in the United States in 2024, up from a 5.62 percent share a year earlier.

Solar energy growth is starting to go parabolic, we have the technology to solve this we just need to put in the effort to deploy it.

It's the year 2026. The world is at war because of Donald Trump's lunatic invasion of Iran. Jackbooted thugs fill American cities. The online left demands that Democrats earn their vote or they'll sit the next election out.
