Exactly. Just something else to ratfuck.

When you have kids.

There’s actually research that shows that farming under solar cover increases moisture retention and the crop yields of certain plants. You’ll also note that a lot of these installations are on marginal land- steep hillsides, arid land, and even floating on reservoirs. The latter slows the rate of evaporation from the reservoir as well, so it has a net environmental benefit.

You’re right though, not every installation is perfect. But we seldom ask these same questions when it’s a new housing development or a Walmart with a moat of paved parking around it.

Tell me you haven’t been to Mexico without telling me you haven’t been to Mexico.

I would presume it’s because they’re low in sugar. Due to exploding diabetes rates, Mexico has been making a concerted effort in the last few years to stem the consumption of sugary foods, drinks and snacks, particularly amongst kids. You can’t have a cartoon mascot on a box of cereal, for example. They put big stickers over Tony the Tiger before changing the packaging completely. And the cost of snack foods has skyrocketed, making it largely unaffordable for lots of Mexican families. A bag of chips there costs more than it does in North America.

My guess is that this is part of that effort.

You can run them concurrently and let grandma continue to use plex.

Why bother? The US is doing just fine destroying itself.

Private equity really is the last step in late stage capitalism, isn’t it? When the profits have been wholly privatized and the externalies wholly dumped on the public will the cycle be complete. We see this with oil and gas assets all the time- as a well or production site falls out of favour by a large oil company because they are unprofitable under their metrics, those assets are sold to smaller, leaner companies that can make a profit on them. Right up until they are owned by the smallest, shadiest companies that ring out the last few dollars before abandoning the asset altogether and declaring bankruptcy. And then who gets left holding the bag on the cleanup of that orphan well? You and I. There is nobody left to hold accountable.

Because explicit or not, we expect governments to backstop this activity. And when it all goes wrong, the fingers get pointed at the government for not properly regulating the activity in the first place.

People talk about China’s energy use like it’s not* their* energy use. They used that power to produce the stupid shit that you bought, dumbass. You’re responsible for that energy use, despite it being generated in China.

I enjoy the fuck out of him being trolled by the Canadian electric truck manufacturer Edison Motors as well.

You don’t fix this by lecturing young men. You fix it by giving them a sense of purpose and identity that doesn’t rely on putting someone else down.

Sounds like they need the shit slapped out of them.

Maybe they should just take the advice that we’ve been giving to women and minorities for the last 100 years and tell them that if they want to succeed they should just fucking work harder at it.

Most people don’t think of it this way, but if you live in North America or Europe, you are part of the global 1%.

That’s exactly where all the value is. Selling people’s fucking genetic information. What makes it even more valuable is that it can be used against all subsequent descendants of the person that willingly gave it up. Do a DNA test like this and you’re selling out your entire family.

Spicy water. Gross.

It’s not like he needs to uphold the deal beyond ending the war. The US certainly doesn’t honour its agreements anymore.

Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was Austrian.

You should familiarize yourself with Telsat Canada’s LEO plans. Should be complete in less than 2 years.

The USDA was certainly not spared the doge axe, they closed offices all along what will soon be the battlefront in this war.

Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Because that’s the biggest broadcast rights moneymaker. Cable would be full and truly dead without sports.
