I know we’re living in the backward world, but this isn’t satire, its pretty much historically accurate.

If you’re making a decision for yourself, because you feel better for not doing something, where the alternative is to do it out of habit or some form of compulsion that makes you feel bad or like it’s a waste of energy, then you definitely don’t need strangers on the internet telling you anything about it (doubly so if it doesn’t hurt anyone.)

And by the sounds of the olympics, good luck getting the athletes from around the world that you put in one place to stop finding other athletes attractive XD

They’re not high cycle but when they are under drain it’s pulling a lot, and they’re consistently sat at high temps which can’t be the most comfortable.

The company that they go to is pretty good, the batteries only get recycled if there’s damage or they’re too far gone.

Ahh my bad, I’m running off my knowledge of the lifetime of batteries we use at work and extrapolated out, the industries are a little less lenient on how long they can be used for (despite being functionally usable, insurers love to say “nah, swap them out, they’re safety critical.” So we send them off to get recycled/reused elsewhere)

Glad to hear the tech’s improving

My thought along the lines of “where practical” is that it can be used as a reservoir for fresh water as an added function, especially in high elevation areas or renote rural areas where having direct mains pressure water isn’t viable.

In the event of a true grid level power outage it would require staff to physically open pump valves, the same way a regular hydroelectric power station or potable water pumping station would, I wasn’t thinking of the system being entirely automated.

It’s not an infallible system, absolutely. The same way battery storage isn’t a perfect solutuon. This is just a more stable and reliable source of power than battery storage, which degrades in the course of around 5 years in the case of batteries like LiFePo4 or other Lithium ions.

A water pumping or hydroelectric station which can survive for multiple decades with regular maintenance, using already existing technology and infrastructure (there are a lot of companies that produce very robust pumps for the petrochemical industry that wouldn’t lose out on too many contracts if they supported the idea, and in a lot of places where it makes economic sense to build, there’s already water infrastructure that could handle if not benefit from additional water storage, not even mentioning the potential for more semi skilled jobs keeping the sites operational. )

I still like the concept of using a hydroelectric water storage as a physical energy store-no messing around with batteries that degrade over time and require massice circuitry to prevent them from becoming hydrogen generators.

Pump water uphill or into a raised tank when the power demand is low, and in peak hours you let the water fall through a turbine to create an instant on-demand powersource where the only maintenance is ‘simple’ turbine generator.

Real answer is that solar panels themselves are barely structural, commonly relying on a steel or aluminium frame for support, they don’t offer any insulation and are easily damaged.

Ceramic roof tiles are a far better material that’s already widely used, so they mount the solar panels to the wooden frames with holes through the tiles themselves, maintaining the insulation of the tiles and allowing for any damaged solar panels to be easily replaced.

Stopping the digging up and burning of carbon fuels is a start.

It took the planet literal hundreds of thousands of years to get the carbon level of the atmosphere down to preindustrial levels, and we’ve undone that in the past near 200

It’ll take a lot, but it’s not impossible to increase carbon capture, use ground based solar to give shade and re-green some desert areas (proven to work) we can easily provide the entire earth’s power requirements while also increasing the carbon sequestration.

The reason for me being I cant read (decipher) your post?

I genuinely can’t tell what you’re trying to say, by “There is no literature” do you mean nobody’s written the rulebook for communication through text, or are you saying that nobody’s literate any more?

Talking about “Information is a terrain of struggle” doesn’t actually SAY anything but it sounds like vague intellectualism

Then the usual thing of suggesting people automatically go “you’re a fascist or thing I don’t like” in response to a lack of knowledge is not only a bad faith argument but it shows you don’t know shit about people.

(None of this is an attack on you personally, I’m just posing what little I can infer from what your comment says, to explain my confusion)

Some serious nominative determinism in your post because “Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?” Lmao

Nahh, you’re right, I should have dropped a ‘/s’ tone indicator on there, that’s on me for assuming the reader can see that I was being intentionally ridiculous

My brother in christ please learn to read sarcasm.

(If you’re on the spectrum as well, then sorry for not being literal with what I was saying, but STILL)

Also not trying to virtue signal here, but that’s kinda offensive to schizophrenics, comparing them to religious zealots

Not a clue, but I do agree with burning fascists

No. I literally think Jesus is being reborn in occupied Palestine and his mother is literally repeatedly dying as a result of the ongoing genocide.

I’m by NO means a normal person, but I can have full conversations with imaginary people, and if I try, I can put that part of my own thoughts I’m ‘talking to’ into either a setting or a person I know’s body, at which point the me in my head talks to them like I would talk to that person. It’s like rubber ducking but in my own head.

But in terms of arguing with myself about things, I do it a lot when I weigh up pros and cons of doing something, different ‘parts of me/my brain’ giving differing opinions to come to a decision.

I mean this with no jokes or puns, but I can’t imagine having aphantasia, though that’s partially because my work and hobbies revolve around (that pun was intended) a lot of mental manipulation of 3d objects to understand how things work.

I have a theory that Jesus keeps being reborn, but every time he does, his mother is turned away from the bomb shelter for being Palestinian.

Isn’t that literally what they’re suggesting?

“In the time it takes to argue with yourself about doing it, you could have just done it already.”

Take him off the pedestal in your mind. The man is responsible for the existence of ICE, and has one of the highest scores of drone striking civilians out of any president.
