Last Notes npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver My O45s football team is obsessed with beer, and I get that on some level. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver As someone who basically doesn't drink these days I have been finding deep pleasure in a good cordial, to the point where I am becoming a fusspot about how it should be made. Cordial first, then freshly made fizzy water THEN ice. Premixed drinks aren't the same. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver I saw one sitting on a dead roo at the corner of Hindmarsh and Melrose in Canberra, pulling its guts out like rope out of a bag npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver How about we take all the money we were going to spend on security for that dickhead PM that's visiting, put 30% to a State Funeral for a Good Man and the rest on the bar at the Lark Distillery for a proper wake. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver different names for the same bird npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver So I did something I've never done before and asked an AI to tell me what bird it could have come from and it said Mallee Ringneck, and I reckon they're right. FLight feather with the yellow dot in it shown here npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Sorry, I reckon the green edge on the feather means it's definitely not a YTBC. That's a flight feather, so it's a bird with green, black and yellow in their wings. YTBC wings are all black. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Yeah look agree with that. Have you seen the data (which I can't find now) on Third Place meetings? 50-year trend of decreasing opportunities for folks to meet in public spaces. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Yes but you get benefits when you're *not* meditating as well. I've definitely felt it. Bigger gap between input and reaction npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver We went climbing one day and my mate got the rope stuck on the first climb of the day. So I sat down and watched hm prussic for about 2 hours. He could barely walk after npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Abseiling is surprisingly hard work. Lots of body tension on the rope npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Gosh reporting on this has been awful. For V2G to work requires a car that can do it, a charger that's connected and approved and someone to run the V2G. None of that will be working by Christmas npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver I contend that there are almost no places where solar and wind won't solve it. We'll see I guess. There don't seem to be many "nuclear is the only solution here" use-cases emerging. npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver That doesn't sound like a very good plan to me. When will "political security" be achieved? Never I would have thought? npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver And so you've presented your arguments, many have, for nuclear. And it's not getting built. IE it's not helping us solve climate change. What will change that? npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver the thing I don't get about nuclear power is that well meaning folks like yourself keep telling me it's the best solution for climate change, but it's not getting built. As if people who build and plan power grids value different things to people on the internet. Why do you think so little nuclear power is getting built and how do we change that? npub1dh7sz8q67g8farz8rvjukqdtt23r5uh486wty9qu35slqwlag8vq70c8g7 Evan Beaver Hopefully the nuclear sector will realise some of these promised efficiencies real soon. I've been hearing these promises for 20 years now.
