It wasn’t that long ago that the ‘It Gets Better’ movement showed up. (Dan Savage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcVyvg2Qlo )
It’s still out there! (More info here, e.g.: https://itgetsbetter.org/

Being also old, I decided only to be on the death lists of people that didn’t just want something from me. So, it may go unnoticed.
Legislators this year already are trying to tackle the rising costs of electricity.
Considering CA’s widespread use of the now-cheapest sources of electricity, it’s more than ironic that costs to consumers are rising. Somebody needs to take a -very close- look at that.
Another question for CA: are data centers required to be carbon-neutral or else ? Will they thriving on the savings created by people driving EVs? Will their demands result in higher prices for everyone?
Hmmm. Where can a person learn the facts about this … ‘agenda’ ?
For very long-time, high-probability safety, the surface of the Earth is constantly being re-shaped. Whole mountains can disappear in a few million years. Floods, earthquakes, ice, weather alone.
Because you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time … and they’ve been at it for a very long time.
Svalbard’s a ‘seed vault’ only, there must be something for extinct animal species. Another question I thought of: if stored on the moon, who among the finders will know enough to even know that they’re looking at? let alone to make purposeful use of it?
Looks like a lousy bet.
"Hydrogen can be produced by several means. Most hydrogen produced today is gray hydrogen, made from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR). This process accounted for 1.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. Low-carbon hydrogen, which is made using SMR with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen), or through electrolysis of water using renewable power (green hydrogen), accounted for less than 1% of production. “Virtually all of the 100 million tonnes[5] of hydrogen produced each year is used in oil refining (43% in 2021) and industry (57%)”

Once again, the impact of subsidized industries is accidentally underestimated.
“We made a promise we had no idea how we were going to keep. But it seemed like good PR at the time. And people kept flying in our planes.”
Go ahead and send me ads, and I’ll just block your site … never go there except when someone tries to trick me into it, and then my SITE-BLOCKER will refuse for me. Our now and future business IS OVER.
“But why don’t you just trust us?” Because I’ve been online for 30 years and it’s been downhill ever since.
The first thing occurs to me is this: who decided that what you are born is a ‘value’? People who say gay is a lifestyle are either naive or using it as an excuse to preserve their ignorance.
We don’t get to choose our skin color when we’re born, or how tall, or what foods we like. But somehow, if you can’t see it, it must be a choice. Wrong And why, in our ‘modern’ cultures, are we so ‘worried about what’s normal’, when world cultures back as far as history goes just got it.
Hey, Always at war … wanna talk about Degenerate?
This noted meteorologist says average highs around these parts is 77-79F. And that it’ll be about 5 deg. or so warmer for 10 days … but “The kind of pattern that makes western Oregon and Washington warmer than normal is not associated with heatwaves…”
They’ve already got more ‘little people’ than they need
Yeah, congrats and well done!
I wish it were possible to search back in time and see what’s been done … not a strong point of this program, it’s not a database much.
Also on this date in 1969: Mercury Records releases a new artist’s strange single about astronaut ‘Major Tom’. The cut includes Rick Wakeman playing the mellotron.

At first the single doesn’t sell well. It’s the lead track on David Bowie’s second album; released on Nov. 14. The album gets mixed reviews.
14 years later on Jan. 3 1983, a very-well-produced German-language song called ‘Major Tom (Coming Home)’ is released. By now, everybody knows about Major Tom. It’s quickly a #1 in central Europe. When the English-language version is released on Sep. 24, it does well. #1 in Canada! #4 in South Africa! So well that Schilling makes several re-mixes in the next 20 years.

During the UEFA Championship in the summer of 2024, the original version of “Major Tom” re-enters the Top Ten of the German Single Charts after more than 40 years
Neat video about a remarkable home. Starting in 1906! 10 acres! … inspired by the catacombs of Rome … subterranean fish pond … I’m not much of a tourist but it’d be great to see this, wow.
Reminds me of another India beat-the-heat tech that I read was widespread there for centuries.
Those who’ve ever been in a root cellar or basement are excused. You make a hole in the ground, then go down in it. Underground temperatures world-wide hover around 50-60 degrees all year long.
Make a BIG hole in the ground, and build stairs that people can use to go down into it. Heat rises, so not a problem.
I bet that if Lovin Spoonful’s US#1 1966 hit ‘Summer in the City’ were playing on radio stations today, it’d climb to US#1 again. (Back of my neck feelin pretty gritty.)
(IIRC, that was the first big hit that included an audio sample.)
Sebastian was drafted for an unscheduled acoustic performance at Woodstock, but rainwater made the stage too dangerous for electric instruments. So he sang ‘I Had a Dream’, the opening track of the famous, US#1 soundtrack album.
That is one of the drawbacks of not having to carry a dictionary around … ever again!
