This generally means a small solar system. Cost per watt is higher than larger systems.

The United States may find a path forward by pursuing market conditions like Australia, where over 40% of homes in some regions have rooftop solar. Soft costs are far lower in the nation, and average residential solar installation cost was $0.89 per W, more than $2.00 per W cheaper than both Canada and the United States.

That path requires oligarchist monopoly utilities to have less influence on oligarchist political parties. Biden’s approach of creating a new green energy manufacturing oligarchy protection doesn’t help with low prices that could be achieved if main utility monopoly obstruction to home solar were removed. FF Oligarchy assists utility monopolies in their lobbying for centralized power production. It is not within US political corruption overton window to help citizens escape extortion.

Ukraine NATO version of a ceasefire proposal is so Ukraine can dig new defensive lines, and let western weapons production catch up with donations. Conducting terrorist operations day before meetings doesn’t put Russia in a good mood either.

Zelensky power/bribery clinging does not bring peace to Ukraine any time soon.

Some sources said 2023 was first to hit +1.5C. Must have been 1.495C. This year is ahead of 2023. CO2 measurements this spring were above the decades 2.5ppm per year, which was the highest decade increase. Temperature increases lag CO2 levels.

Forest fires and spread are at high activitity at current temperatures. Arctic ice keeps shrinking without record temperatures. Natural methane releases even as human activity methane gets deregulated.

There is no expectation of seeing a temperature decrease even if 2025 ends up 3rd instead of 2nd. The precision for exact carbon budget may have been overestimated.

There are some advantages, but 350kph might be fast enough for anybody, and it is a very expensive comparison.

Saw polling where even Trump voters only have 25% support for attack on Iran, and majority of all demographics oppose by over 50%. There is a huge disconnect between zionist supremacist media and politicians, and American people. Not just war, but marjority of Amercians have unfavourable view of Israel despite absolute political/media dominance to “educate them”.

H2 makes the best long term electrical storage, because not only is it more efficient than other cheap alternatives, it can be even more efficient with heat use, and it is economically transportable/exportable and so is not capped by utilization/capacity constraints.

heat storage is extremely useful for complementing winter solar in low winter sun places. Including at small scale. Hydronic floor heating is most efficient use of heat. Heat pumps can very efficiently gain 30C of temperature gain. Sand and construction waste box with water pipes, and heat resistors, flowing through it, can store heat well above 100C that water doesn’t ineffienctly. 2000 liters of just water is sufficient in most locations with a fireplace or EV backup, but sand/dirt/gypsum of 500L to 1000L significantly boosts resilence and heat capacity.

efficient because heat is used for heat. (district heating system). getting electricity from heat is relatively inefficient. Stacked blocks are relatively efficient but concerns over wind resistance.

Mines like datacenters can be in remote low land value areas that have a lot of room for solar, which without grid connections is even cheaper than grid connected energy, and cheaper power than transporting fuel. Surrounding land, certainly not usable for civilization. Most uranium mines in the world have a proper exclusion zone that allows more solar energy than the energy value of the uranium inside the mine.

After mine’s life, power availability means a cleaned up side does have civilization/land value. It also makes it attractive for eventual grid connection to rest of continent, or just “microgrid” short transmission to touristier locations. Solar development of a mining area not only offers cheapest mining operations, it creates future land value appreciation, and power supply revenues. Both significantly improving economics of a mining project.

On mining debt, china has opened fully electric mines. Mining is not an inherently oil/diesel using activity.

Obviously japan is not forced to rely on coal, too.

Nothing good happens if headed to Persian Gulf

What do we want? sKYNET!!!

When do we want it? As soon as it can beat beginner atari chess?!?!

Some anti-China ISPs won’t let some tablets connect. wifi hotspot from phone to rescue.

weak. Ok, education camps show videos of how glorious and indivisible China is. Did you know that US children are forced to recite similar pledge of allegiance every day? Ok, the police have made a plan for dealing with insurrection. This is pure brainwashing about the power to present nothing as brainwashing, with enough style and dramatic music score.

such an embarrassing propaganda nothing burger. BBC propaganda crew being stopped from filming proves any demonic lie they made? Where is armed “supervisors”, where is barbed wire surrounding factories? “victims of communism” organization is a nazi front. BBC a CIA propaganda arm. OMG a job recruitment ad mentioned the “glory of work” in its marketing appeal. Must be mind control forced labour.

There is significant politicization of genocide declarations. They are all declared by fascist US empire and its slave controlled democracy colonies. There is very obvious extensive video evidence of extermination policies for Palestinians.

China responded to 2014 terrorist attacks with education and job creation programs. Xinxiang has had decent prosperity and population growth compared to other Chinese provinces despite a BDS policy from US controlled empire. The “technical genocide” accusation is based on a handful of Uyghur women with 4+ children who somehow all got to the UK, and claimed to now be sterile. Uyghurs had historically been exempt from Chinese one child policy.

Political demonism happens independently of facts. There are historical tensions in Xinxiang between Uyghur/muslim majority and relatively more prosperous Han minority, but Chinese policies are far more egalitarian than Alabama policies with much higher inequality. China has made the most humanist response to terrorism in history of civilization, even if it is not above criticism.

There is a mild secessionist movement in CA. People of all ethnicities in the city can dissaprove of the oppression taking place. Pre-2022, ask in Donbas was just autonomy from nazis shelling it relatively indiscriminantly. CA even if it were to ask for military help from Mexico or China, wouldn’t have as first choice to join as one of their provinces. In both cases, independence is more about humanist self determination rather than ethnic loyalties even if the fascist oppression is centered on extermination of ethnic/liberal “sub humans”

The higher question is why shouldn’t society be punitive?

To start with prison/justice, rape/violence being a feature means gang support systems are a feature, and crime university is a feature. Police are empowered by being agents of punishment. Privatization of parts of justice system incentivize kickbacks for punishment, and school to prison pipeline for the structurally oppressed classes.

Structural oppression in society serves oligarchist low hanging fruit of wage suppression. Structural desperation that motivates gang/mafia membership and crime as alternate protection from a punitive society. Importantly, if society isn’t hateful, corrupt, and punitive, then why the fuck would you care about a politician who champions putting bandaids on it to make society more hateful and divisive, even if their real agenda is more war and service to Israel? Late stage democracy ensures collapse for zionist oligarchist pillaging.

UBI/freedom dividends is the only democratic idealist function. Not political power. It eliminates structural crime and oppression. Liquid democracy with UBI eliminates corruption and dysfunctional policy. A functional improving sustainable society is impossible when hate is prioritized.

by far the best movie he’s ever been involved with. Good performance too. Leaving Las Vegas is another good performance.

If risky to put dick in mouth, why make it friend sized?
