Yeah, screw em. I use mine to produce lots of stuff.
I try to avoid producing too much manure though.
I think lots of IT people have an extremely limited experience of what it is to produce something.
I mean if opening a ssh hole to the whole world to fuck with is an important part of what they consider "production" - well I'm not really into those types of websites.
"stable" release of Arch?
If I pray to you will I be able to get my printer to work?
careful now.
Normally I like to treat questions like telephone calls; ignore them for as long as you can and hope they go away.
I guess that is basically defensive but maybe "passive defensive".
It's what I do to viruses too.
imbibed like tequila?
I use cloister by the way.
It's like arch but you reinstall it at least 10 times in a row before you get anywhere.
Hah, Dirty Blvd by Lou Reed:
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
If they do achieve less car traffic they may be able to dedicate more space to bus lanes making busses faster or more reliable for more people. Though I vaguely remember from tourist experience , busses seemed pretty good in manhatan at least north-south direction.
Maybe also give some separated space to other modes that can also be quite cheap, like bicycles.
For toothbrushes, are they worried repair won't re-seal it effectively so make it unsuitable for use in the wet environment?
The covid impact is an interesting example of demand reduction.
In my country the imact of petrol in road and air travel still being below pandemic levels in 2022 (latest data) is about 75TWh less fuel demand. This is almost as big as the output of all wind, solar hydro power gen in the country in energy terms (85 TWh) in 2022, and we've been investig fairly heavily for 2-3 decades now.
For cost effective . ..
Drive less, drive (travel) more efficiently, live closer to the things you need.
Heat less, heat more efficiently. (I live in a cold country so cooling is not something i know much about - apart from it being a natural fit for distributed solar PV).
. . . probably also breed less on a global scale for the long term.
I think the pandemic proves that people can travel less if forced too, they just don't want to, hence the bounce back we've been seeing.
But some structural improvements such as work from home for many office workers have locked in some benefits.
Some of the other solutions have complex feedbacks and infrastructure dependencies though. I don't like utility scale PV as it competes with farmland or other land use like forests / swamps.
EVs and electrification of heat will ulimately double or triple the demand on our national electricity grid - i just can't see renewable elec gen growing to that level even on a 30 year horizon .
We tend to do the easy and cheap projects first, so the next 300% is likely to be more than 3x as hard as the 100% so far. The exponential growth of the last few decades will plateau into an S-curve eventually. I think it already has for PV gen - which despite what this dude said in the videos, seems to need subsidy to drive uptake.
Maybe, unless we re-think hydro strategy
