  • I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

    But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

    If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.



  • It is a sign of market opportunity and batteries will come into play more.

    But it will always be cheaper in the middle of the day so demand shift would be good.

    Things like heating, cooling, water, washing, cleaning, charging. All being done in the middle of the day will be the easy wins.

    But certainly in high production low usage times the arse is going to fall out of the price. But really how many processes can run for short durations? Most high energy processes are high capital and run 24/7.



  • These people can get fucked. Everyone can get fucked. We don’t need new ideas we need old ones.

    We need the market to be able to react. Being able to build on land, fuck the NIMBYs. And being able to connect to the grid quickly, there is different ways to sort this but it comes from government intervention.

    Then if you want more progress it’s externalities. Tax fossil fuels and use the same money to subsidise renewables and batteries, and grid upgrades.

    Or another possibility is mandate shutdowns based on a percentage over time (this will work better for EVs I think than than utility power. “Oh you want tariff on Chinese cars. Well fine you will have that for 10 years and in return 100% of your sales need to be evs in 10 years and to get you moving in 5 years its 25%, 6 40%, 7 55%, 8 70%, 9 75%.”)

    It’s getting so tiring now that they have evidence of what works and instead just talk about how the worlds going to be different in 2050. Start building some fucking grid upgrades then. You know it is going to take 10 years tondo anything meaningful, you know you are 10 years behind, you know if you build it they will come.

  • If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

    Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

    I bet every actor is on fin.

    Mate you got some serious, serious problems. And you need to take a step back and look at your life. You have an internet addition if nothing else. You obsess over arguments and have a superiority complex.

    You need therapy.

    I literally don’t care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years. Why should I care about him, out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy. I don’t. I don’t care. Why him specifically? There are much much more interesting people out there that I just don’t care about Columbus even slightly fuck him and fuck you.

    The fuck you is justified because you said this to me

    Maybe you’re okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

    You want a reaction out of me so you can block me. If you are going to hide behind your mod powers because thats all you go, and going to make out people are racist because I don’t care about one guy you want to get in an argument about. Then you’re a cunt.

    This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as “a guy who helped the German economy.”

    What’s the comparison exactly? What did i (not you) say about Columbus that is equivalent to that?

    You’re full of shit.

    He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

    I know who he is I just don’t care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don’t give a shit about Columbus.

    Even in terms of explorers he’s a shit one. I’d rather read about someone else.

    So you are just circle jerking over the fact that you all share the exact same idea that didn’t need to be said because you all know it. But by announcing it you can all circle jerk over the fact that you all had the same view?

    Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.

    Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.

    Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.

    No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That’s why its woke, its pointless. It’s not interesting or funny.

    Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he’s in hell, are so woke, aren’t they?

    “Hitler is in hell.” Omg that’s hilarious. You so wise and witty and funny, what a clever connection you made in a humours way. No, that’s not a joke.

    It’s woke because it isn’t a joke. It is some feel good sense woke people can go “Yea!” too and pat each other on the back.

    Clearly the *non*-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.

    No really no. I guess a non woke joke in this context would be more like “hey I’m dead, I can see me uncle!” “Umm… No he’s in a different place” “no that totally make senses, I can see that”.

    It’s not a joke set purely on the premise of circle jerking some social justice statement that people pretend is constructed into a funny joke because people want to feel like they are on the right side. But it does change the pace and direction, which is how a lot of jokes are constructed.

    I don’t mind dark jokes and I don’t mind clean jokes. A woke joke isn’t about being funny it’s about commended for having the right view.

    But hey, he “discovered America,” am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

    There could be a joke in there but it wouldn’t be a good one.

    Just to be clear the additional context someone else added means that joke could have had humour in it.
