  • The “phones are bad and suck your life away” crowd has gotten way too big. Yes, it’s easy to waste time on them, but that’s just something you gotta learn, like not watching TV series all night. You’re a grown up, deal with it. Also maybe you feel bad for spending all that time on your phone just because feeling bad for that feels cool? It’s actually your life you can spend it however you want. You don’t need to be productive or successful to be a worthy human. Be a lazy shit that plays stupid phone games while on a train to work.





  • We don’t have the storage to use solar for base load energy yet.

    Base load is a myth in large connected grids. They have wind and solar. Solar hits the high day demand, wind is always blowing somewhere so there’s nights demand covered as well.

    Methane peaker plants are good until better solutions are cheaper.

    Factories and mills and chip fabs and industrial refrigeration needs to run all the time, and needs reliable constant power.

    They don’t actually necessarily need reliable power if they will get discounts, but that’s somewhat in the future. Industrial refrigeration certainly doesn’t need reliable power at all if they can get variable prices.

    Also peaker plants exist for the few hours per year where prices are at max.
