That has to be done in ways that have acceptable impacts on other natural systems…but if we can ASR for drinking water, we can ASR for heat.

…the tax incentives sunsetted and the open groundwater source permitting structure became more onerous.

I still think that storing energy in shallow aquifers will be the answer to affordably heating spaces throughout the year. Just a couple degrees up in the summer, extracted back in the winter.

Worked briefly for a low-temperature geothermal energy company in the late 1980s.

Utilizing groundwater to make HVAC systems more efficient was a great idea…and there is at least one in town utilizing it for that purpose for like 60 years now.

But before the systems could be built…

Hoping to get Blue ✔️ before the end of the Anthropocene.

Feeling like that sign of approval may not come through in time.

What was it for, again?

Remind me how one gets a blue check…and why it matters?

It wouldn’t allow me to modify my name and address a blue check of my own…so it must be super legit!

It now takes two strokes to get to a screen allowing you to select from open tabs…as opposed to one in older iOS.

So very helpful.

Why does every iOS update result in less utility, lesser ease of use and just overall shite changes of “look” over function?

This newest update makes everything harder to see. I don’t want a “liquid look”. I want clear and distinct symbology…Not see through borders.

I was told by a biologist a couple years back that they were related. That is the sum total of my knowledge about them, really…other than anecdotal observation of where nests occur!

My joke may have gone too far.

From a geologic perspective, plovers seem to like to nest in sand, while killdeer seem to like granule to pebble sized particles.

Is there more to it than that?

Photo of an OLD US Postal Service Cycling Team hat that has seen better days…and probably should never have existed in the first place.

Blue and white hat, wrankled and crumpled on an old wood table.  Feint whiff of steroids and EPO can almost be seen.

The USPS is one of our greatest institutions and we need to protect it at all costs.

Arsenic Circle was an option where I lived. It turns out there were even worse places to work as a high school kid than McDonalds.

Empathy and reasoning aren’t rivals – new research shows they work together to drive people to help more Those driven by both heart and mind help the most people, even far beyond their own circle.

It’s not heart vs. head after all. Caring and thinking are intricately intertwined in making us more generous.

Empathy and reasoning actually work together and people who have more of either one are more likely to help strangers and make choices that help the most people. buff.ly/N8UzfRE

I see I stated incorrectly that my daughter was “not nearly as old”…should have been “not nearly as young”.

Still, she’s Motown and 50s Rock. Blues Brothers one of her favorite bands…and all the gang who played in that movie. Respect.

Bravo! I have a daughter not nearly that old who probably has a similar age. In fact, I’m sure hers is older than mine…but will verify.

It pegged me as solid 1970s, but only a few years older than I actually am.

Dean Kamen (Segway inventor) also invented one of the early microdosing insulin pumps and a version of the Segway that can climb stairs and allow paraplegics to stand upright after transporting.

You don’t believe in sea level rise, that it won’t happen everywhere at same rate…or in Anthropogenic climate change in general?

Glad it hasn’t affected you directly yet, but evidence is there if you choose to look.
