tablets. blueland makes them for laundry and dishwashing, it’s clean, easy, literally the most convenient method I can imagine. no fuss. disappears completely.

blue land makes tablet detergents for dishwashing and clotheswashing. they work great. no pod bullshit, no waste, minimum and recyclable packaging

is a solvable engineering problem.

yet still a hard problem. don’t underestimate it.

yup. and we don’t dope the envelopes with aluminum powder either.

looses

releases, sets free.

loses

depreciates, something is LOST

right? and then your water/sewage system will be more resilient to power issues, double bonus.

I love the “nascar doesn’t hurt the environment, big companies do! f1 doesn’t hurt the environment, it’s big oil’s fault! racing my shitcrate down the road doesn’t hurt the environment, even though I’ve modified the carb so unburnt fuel spews out the back because VROOOM VROOM makes me sound like a real man, no, it’s uh, all those datacenters fault!”

whatever their fetish is, they’ll die on that hill defending it instead of changing.

Think about it: their own children will pick up the tab, be the ones who suffer the worst for these silly fucking games, and they literally don’t care. THEIR OWN KIDS. Zero fucks given. When they don’t even care about the future shitshow their own kids will have to suffer, what leverage can be found?

SUV

calling out SUV’s specifically for multiple reasons - ICE SUV’s are the worst, having the low fuel efficiency of work trucks, while being less safe than trucks or cars for passengers or pedestrians. EV SUV’s are just taking the same problems - truck frames, lots of weight, poor visibility - and adding an EV powertrain to ameliorate the fuel inefficiency. But since they have to haul around all the extra SUV weight, they’re at best a poor compromise instead of a large improvement.

and they burn the worst fuel, and often burn fuel while docked when they could be hooked up to shore power.

then they take boatloads of tourists to areas that are ecologically critical - the arctic and antarctic - while their boats burn bunker oil and spew their accumulated feces into the ocean. it’s supposed to be treated but… that’s just business.

Great for keeping the heat and cool air in, and the bugs out

yup, and no waste issues that have to be held on site in cooling pools for decades (assuming a final storage point is ever resolved in your country).

we already know that we must improve transmission infrastructure across the board, if we’re going to have to do that either way, might as well embrace grid storage and go with as much renewable generation. AU, your Great Australian desert could power most of the southern pacific if you want to get wild :D

will be used by people who have no intention of making art.

I think you mean ‘people who have no intention of paying for art.’

I am so happy with the vast amount of free art available these days. As a blogger, it’s easier than ever to find a free topical picture.

dirtbag

aw hells no, looks like a bad case of Graboids. better get the rifles.

The future doesn’t need fossil fuels. The petroleum industry does.

I wonder if we’ll stop killing ourselves in time.

eh some are more humane than others. see US states that actually try to protect workers like WA vs states that are actively legislating rules to prevent people from protecting workers, like Texas and Florida. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/07/21/1189179220/amid-a-record-heat-wave-texas-construction-workers-lose-their-right-to-rest-brea

How low is the temp getting at night? Frankly surprised the gov’t hasn’t stepped in to halt daytime activities of all kinds.

, but we’re experiencing a huge amount of content paid for by Fossil Fuel Interest’s to put pressure on the internet

dead monkeys are falling out of the trees in mexico

it’s 125 in pakistan.

we need to be rail at the astroturf with THE FUCKING REALITY THAT WE’RE COOKING IN

I think of the savings on transport and the food deserts this strategy could ameliorate… my only real concern is the impact farming on top of structures will have in wear/tear water damage etc., but that’s a very minor concern.
