18·1 day agoHave they ruled out agricultural use? In land reclamation we use a pit-and-mound system on slopes to capture more water, provide microsites for plants and shelter them from wind.
They are using them in Africa too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU39jN0WEZg
This is a bit different than what land rec does but the principle is the same.
They also found maize and organic matter in the pits according to the article.

While you aren’t wrong about them being good to use in Ag, the scenario where you can do both is more limited.
You can’t drive a combine harvester under panels, to harvest the crop you just protected for instance, unless you place and design your panels carefully. It’s ok for pasture in that sheep and the like can get in and chow down and it provides shade though.
For a parking lot, it’s easier, as shown, but also fuck cars, they’re their own environmental disaster
They are using them on closed tailings facilities (mining) to add additional land use or gain benefit where there wasn’t really a good land use to begin with.
I think urban settings are where panels will ultimately shine, as you can concentrate them without taking up other land uses - it’s just an add on and doesn’t detract from existing or future uses like using them in an ag field would.

4·4 days agoCan I watch?
I’ve never been big. Even now, at my largest, I’m 6’ and 200 lbs. Spent a lot of time in the 165-175lb range.
I spent most of my days stomping though fens and forests, and digging holes when I got there. While it sounds scenic (and parts of it certainly were), I’ve huffed it through some of the shittiest terrain imaginable while carrying gear.
My least favorites were dense shrubby fens and old burns. A buddy and I spent 20 mins moving 100 m once lol.
I’d work 300 hr months from mid May until end of November and then go on rotation on the mines to recover with 240 hr months.
10 years of that was enough. I’ve been luxuriating behind a desk for the last 5 years. It’s a nice way to retire from the field, and my hips and back are much happier

3·5 days agoHoly cow, this is the most accurate thing I’ve read. I’m old. Do they still do public lobbies with voice chat now?
Just 24 people all yacking, one guy stimming, another dropping N bombs or something.
What kind of work? 8k calories is fucking insane. I can’t even visualize that. That’s like 8 big mac meals or something. how do you even fit that in you?
This right here. I would eat 3500-4000 Cals a day and LOSE 5 to 10 lbs over the course of field season.

2·8 days agoI got to go to the Galapagos, and we swam at this one beach and the boobies were diving just like this all around us. Had a couple splash me. Entirely surreal.
unrelated: that double negative is throwing me for a fucking loop, but the coffee hasn’t kicked in.
I think “It’s unlikely that in a 4 person polycule that at least one of them isn’t nonbinary” is the better way to phrase it. I’m not trying to be pedantic here. I’m just wrestling (aloud) with the structure of the sentence.
Related: Why would a polycule almost always have a non-binary member? I’m not up to date on this stuff, but I could see a bi polycule working, or something like that, with them all aligning with their typical (i use this word lightly, for lack of a better one) gender.

The meme communities are great.
Oof.
It’s easy for me to say what I would do in your situation because I’m not living it.
Since she made this decision, though, she should have to carry the weight. Your job remains the same overall, which is to act as a safety net.
Those social plan she had? Out the window. You have a baby to support now, dear, how is you resume coming along?
Lol. Look at this guy, able to have more than one person interested in him.

14114·13 days agoWoah. Didn’t hear about that. I (nearly literally) live under a rock with some isopods, though, so that might explain why. Turns out two things can be true: you can be a giant piece of shit, and still have the occasional good take, I guess.
