I’m someone’s favorite.
We’re not living through a mass extinction event.
We are the mass extinction event.
Agent Smith wasn’t far from the mark…
Plus structurally, even if it were off-the-shelf concrete vs mortar, it’s still structurally different, so I’m sure that also makes a difference.
Mostly I was just making fun of the phrasing and distinction without actually clarifying the difference.
So… Mortar.
IT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT BRO
Tldr: build a hobbit hole
One of my friends grew up in a house his dad’s company built.
It has a super tiny, almost bungalow-sized building on the surface that’s basically a glorified sitting room for entertaining a few guests, and one bedroom.
Then behind door #2 is a staircase leading to the actual house, mostly underground.
If you look behind the fence that surrounds what appears to be a back yard, it’s about 3ft of roof sticking out of the ground.
I’m not an architect or engineer, so I just assumed there were technical reasons he didn’t want the house completely underground, cause that seems to me like it would be better to have it completely buried if you’re going for energy efficiency and things like that. Although now that I say that, I imagine you’d want some natural lighting. Maybe a good compromise? No idea.
Too bad we lost touch, because I’d love to ask his dad more questions about how it was designed and built. I remember the few times I was there it was always cool, but never cold in winter and never hot in summer.
“Yeah, that guy who jaywalked SHOULD be charged with murder, jaywalking is a CRIME, PEOPLE!”
These aren’t going to shine as “I want to power my rc plane” batteries, but as someone else said, “[a house-powering battery] can be as large as it needs to be and buried in the back yard”
I’d love a giant sodium battery in a bunker that gathers energy from my wind/solar setup and powers everything without needing to connect to the US power grid.
As long as I can service my own windmill and panels with extra parts (I’m a big believer in both “have a backup” and “two is one and one is none” so always keep 3 spares of things around) I’m set on power during events that would shut down the neighbors.
The lower cost (and battery cost has been lowering drastically for many years based on my own RC dealings) will allow for mass-storage at low prices.
Opponents of renewable energy are running out of excuses, so they have to grasp at straws.
I refuse to believe the Netherlands/Nether Lands one is above the age of 13, or being genuine if so.
That has to be a troll…
Please…
So like… I’m agreeing with the things you’re saying, but the way it’s phrased makes it seem like you’re saying “It’s actually the poor people who are the problem”
Just struck me as kind of funny lol
