I wonder how much was from shortsighted idiots shuttering nuclear rather than just growth of solar. At any rate hopefully we can undo that. We need more nuclear.

The media gaslighted by the right? No! I can't believe it.

I have an appt on Month X at Time Y. Take it or leave it.

A few decades back, I remember a guy at our gym who would serenade us with songs from the big band era. We were charmed by his dreamy memories. And now I'm the age he was - wondering if others now think of me as a friendly fossil as I thought of him.

Oh, I'm just being obnoxious. Forgive me. They say you don't talk about politics and religion in polite company. Really? Lol.

Edited to add: the Congregationalists had an intensive and rigorous education program and the same thing in the US. Interesting fact also- the Puritans of Mayflower fame were Congregationists. Their official education department (for lack of a better word) set the template for New College, the Sarasota philanthropists didn't know how to create a college. Hawaii was a colonialist project and Congregationalists played their part. I guess my feelings about them are mixed, but I've been so deeply immersed in their environment, I can't separate who I was before I was 21 and a transfer student at New College and my life after that happened. I'm sure that's good for me because if I didn't have this experience, I might process language and communicate God knows how. My father was a tradesman from a middle class family. Of course he was working class by nature. My mother's family were as middle class. He married up as they say. I couldn't make any sense of it but when I transfered to Sarasota everything clicked. I can speak three different kinds of English but only one seems natural to me.

Toured the Obama center museum last week. First impression going through? Realizing how much we've lost in such a short time. Second impression? Politics CAN be more than Fear, Lies, Grift and Cruelty.

He has got a chance, given his age and record so far, of becoming the greatest ever player. Number of matches won, percentage won, Grand Slams won. All within his potential.

@Daniel said: That's fine. But what about the other things generated? I believe these things might include toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution. The thing I linked to would simply replace the heating coil in otherwise typical water heating tanks. No reason to expect "toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution." The concept is quite simple: bitcoin mining generates heat (do it in server farms and you have to find ways to dissipate all that heat), you also need heat to heat your water. So just do the bitcoin mining in your hot water tank so the heat generated from bitcoin mining is used to heat your water (as oppose to dissipated into the environment as done by most server farms today).

Great story!

@bernard foot tapping techno jazz, love it, super lead singer though I'm going to have to find the lyrics @steve-miller I think Jackson is even more of a poet than a musician tbh

I just made 3 boiled eggs by following Google AI to the letter. Yeah.

This is such a shame. I love Nicki Minaj's music. Her latest "Christian" output no however. Says She’s ‘Not Going Anywhere’ After Donald Trump Calls Her His ‘Favorite’: ‘She’s Been With Me a Long Time’ bit.ly/47yfYd4 I've followed her since she was rapping on the streets of Queens, before she was discovered on My Space. I watched her become famous as the GOAT female rapper. I watched her fuse hip hop and pop. I'm saying I know her career inside and out. This is not who she ever was. This is not what she ever represented. In fact, this is contrary to we who she was and everything she's done. I'll post my favorite videos at some point. But this. Fair warning. The next thing I have to say will probably not be believed by many here but could not be more clear to me. She's been brainwashed. I'll leave it at that.

@kluurs doh! I bought that book on Kindle last year! I just haven't read it yet. And there's no audio version.

@DougG said: “old movies” That's why I used scare quotes in the thread title! Oh wait, you said "talkies" ...

@adagiom You are living the life! Many thanks for sharing!

It's many countries. And yes. Be safe.
