I just moved house, and several boxes lost structural integrity during the move, but one that finally gave out, I've had for over 25 years. It was originally the box for a CRT computer monitor, and it was a very good box.

With that caveat that those preconceived notions were instilled by decades of right wing press that has propped up that same self serving troglodyte.

I'll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.

This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it'll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.

The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.

Such a great series, Toby Jones is so wonderful in this.

Twice. Once at the end of Final Fantasy IX, realising who was monologuing the ending at what that meant.

Second one was at the end of What Remains of Edith Finch, pretty much for exactly the same reasons.

I've used "I know something you don't know" far too many times, along with "I don't think that means what you think it means." They're far too useful in conversation.

It's not stupid if you're an oil company trying to increase profits, then it makes perfect sense to make your oil guzzling death machine as big, bulky and inefficient as possible.

I just made two Italians cry by showing them this.

That's an occlupanid, a fairly common specimen, but still worthy of respect.

2005 was a bad year for cancelled sci-fi series that were good, actually. Surface, Threshold and Invasion, all excellent, all cancelled after one season. I'm still upset.

I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It'll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it's what we should do.

We also use "I'm trying for a baby" as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is "just dropping the kids off at the pool"
