Also 70. I've received both. I believe my total jabs for COVID is 10. Also recently got my Hep B, which seems to have been added to the list.

My parents have been dead for years--stop blaming them!

Oh wow. Mitch McConnell slipped on ICE.

I hope for their sake they are not in country right now.

We did have paper and pencils back then. For years I used to find scraps of paper with a phone number and initials that I had no idea who they were.

Yes. Do they think there are more birds around or do they understand it is a mockingbird? I'm interested in how animals think in general. We are finding out that they have more cognitive power than we used to think. Jane Goodall showed us this.

I have always wondered if the other birds think--wow there are a lot of birds around here or do they just say to themselves there's a mockingbird. As much as birds have thoughts--maybe crows know it's a mockingbird?

I love the little movie Powers of Ten. I spent my career dealing with big numbers including quadrillion British thermal units of energy. What drives me crazy is when a young person with good eyes enters 1000000000000000 into a spread sheet rather than 10^15!

I lived on Cape Cod as a kid. He should go on a field trip to the Cape in mid-winter.

I'm 70 and I doubt I will see it.

What's the betting on the first year that a full-scale, economically viable fusion reactor will begin operation.

Does anyone else love the short film Powers of Ten? I think about it when I need to put our world in perspective. There is also a newer version which contains updates in the science since the original version.

Developers will need a miracle if nuclear is going to grow to meet demand in 2028.

I understand that we are now supposed to say "war mechanism."

But what about the energy affluent?

Very important work right now.

I guess the definition of the "Chicago School of Economics" has just changed.

Please enjoy our little theatre production with the Democratic Party as Charlie Brown and the Republican Party as Lucy with the football.

One day at a time.

An actual hero.

Things are not good here for climate-related policy right now.

In the USA, business leaders and politicians who are unwilling to acknowledge human-caused climate change are hurting the transition to clean energy. This has consequences for us all.

Of course an issue with both utility-scale and rooftop solar is that if you don't electrify your home you won't take full advantage of decarbonized electricity. Heat pumps rule!

Here is a question for nutritionists. Why do Keto breads and related baked goods contain so much fiber when they appear to have no more than the average white bread. Is there a secret to adding fiber without changing the appearance or am I getting conned?

This scene makes me think of climate deniers. It doesn't matter the reality of the situation they will always insist they are right even as the situation becomes more dire. Sadly, their inability to come to terms with climate science affects us all.

So much for the deal maker.

Actually not a joke--just ask anyone in the climate change space.

You know they are talking about Democrats when they say "hundreds of dollars." Anything more than $7 is a major donor.

I have seen reference to PV panels on other bodies of water but I'm not sure how practical it may be at scale.

I'm not sure I can offer a nuanced answer but I'd imagine the the biggest challenge is the absence of similar canals in other states--so maybe other bodies of water such as reservoirs would work. Certainly in the East we don't have a lot of canals. Proximity to load I would guess is another issue.
