Kids are stupid, it makes sense generating content for them is easier.

You can also make LSD.

The idea of FOSS relying on a social network which isn't itself open source doesn't sound like a good idea. It already relies too much on github and discord.

Many states are passing laws that the turbine has to be far enough away from property lines that it can’t fall onto someone else’s property, which seems reasonable. However these restrictions make building turbines difficult and limits what land is viable. Many counties require 1.1x to 1.5x the height of the turbine as a safety distance, which with the typical turbine height of 600’ means 660-900 ft radius around the tower that doesn’t overlap someone else’s property.

They could just build shorter turbines, but the big energy companies will whine it doesn't make them enough money.

From the article it looks to be only "utility-scale" projects that are blocked, I assume that doesn't include roof solar.

Depends, the term is used in industry and medicine to denote a non-formal specialisation sometimes.

As for your specific example, I think it would be mildly annoying but not something to make a big deal out of.

IIRC Simon Baron Cohen's studies on his (IMHO poorly named) extreme male brain theory of autism found that only 70% of men had "male brains".
