Well, you can stuff your wounds with the silky smooth sand and shards institutional toilet paper, me, I’ll be looking like a Yeti with all those tampon strings…Damn!

You are right. However, with policy changes, we also need a tenable plan for a hydrogen economy that is physically and economically possible. The tech to produce and handle hydrogen on that scale does not exist, and much like carbon capture and storage, they are likely to remain a pipe dream; numbers don’t add up. We’ve spent a century building infrastructure that has no use other than extracting and processing fossil fuels. That we have enough resources to make the transition to a clean economy is in serious doubt at this time.

It does make a nice talking point to make everyone feel better about technology saving us from ourselves in the future, though. It’s certainly much more palatable than talking about the overshoot of the human population.

Yes it is. Haber-Bosch process is where all our ammonia comes from, and it’s fed via petrochemical stocks. No oil = no food.

Weeds aren’t a problem, but typically the fertilizers for hydro are petroleum based, and therefore not sustainable.

Today I learned nothing. Bad link.

I’m hoping for Weird AL.

How many times do we have to say it: Please stop naming your baby hippos, “Jeffery Dahmer”.

Good call. I like that.

What’s that? Is it the sound of Energy Cost of Energy knocking at the door? Oh, and look at this, they’ve left a pamphlet titled “The bell tolls for thee, intensive input agricultural base, it tolls for thee”

Yup, I’m guessing that’ll do it all right. Knit a few pairs of socks, and just normalize the world away!

This is why we are doomed. People take a look at the dumpster fire that’s life now and say, “Have you tried knotting socks and not being sad?”

Myself, I reply with what I hope is understanding and compassion, and say, “Yes indeed, things look bleak. You, unknown internet person, are not alone in feeling this way”

There’s a great Dollop about this Whalesplosion.

Chicory. Nice pic!!!

Save you some reading time: None of your damn business. Health care is between a doctor and patient and ain’t our concern.

Welcome to the enshittification of the internet. Its strange, its almost like our benevolent Billionaire overlords dont want us educated, just a big dumb source of profit to be extracted, but no, that couldn’t be it, must just be “bad search engines”.

Oak dowels will be 2 to 3 times harder than pine, and more durable because of that. Widely available at any hardware store.

Water timer. Looks to be crossthreaded.

Oh no! Anyways…

I lost my best friend to Hastags in 'Nam. Keep em off my lawn!!!

Very well said. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I’m sorry you’re support system has crapped out on you. The idea of “us against them” and the underlying “dog eat dog” drivers of our society seems to have led a lot of people to struggle to survive in some strange ways. I think 2020 will go down in history as the year the human race collectively started losing their marbles.
