Yes Minister is a very funny show where you are rooting for out of touch and snobbish civil service to stop Jim Packard’s savage neoliberal cuts.

It’s leftist counterpart - a very British Coup is insanely good if not completely utterly depressing.

The webmaster’s blog is full of obnoxious esoteric shit too. Honestly I’m just relived I found something that isn’t a wellnessmama1488 wordpress blog. It’s public domain, if you have the html you can fork and it start something with tags.

Bob Black is spinning in his feces

“The positive externality: the world is overpopulated anyway”

“idiocracy is starting”

Definitely reddit

Preppers please stop saying “winter is coming”. Even when it’s appropriate like this post. I don’t have any good woke reason for this, I am just sick of fucking pop culture.

Welcome to the new dark age anyway. I imagine Musk will be milking this for all it’s worth.

It’s not really related and fuck cars but I remember how one redditor lecture me how biodiesel is better then electric cars. I asked if they figured out the land use or nitrogen input problem and the redditor was like “oh just vertical agriculture and GMO crops”. It really bothers me how some people don’t actually try to understand how these things work and resort to magically thinking that CRISPR or Musk’s new battery will solve everything.

Every scare story on China’s new nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles makes me feel so much safer.

You know what can be done overnight? Reduce the max highway speed limit to 80KMh and reduce fuel consumption by up to 40%

Performative outrage about privacy is so Obama era. It’s all all about who benefits from the weaponized data and all relevant factions are sick of appeasing these randian nerds with tax cuts.

This doesn’t look like it’s around the corner either. Hopefully the EROEI will be much better then ITER’s.

ITER say it will take 50MW for 500MW and that is just starting up the reactor. Not all the embodied energy in building it and future reactors that seem to take a lifetime to build. Just starting the reactor. That is a EROEI of less then 10. It’s a money pit for contractors. Nuclear fission has a mean EROEI of 14 with some saying as high as 75 with centrifuge enrichment. What’s more exciting from China is their innovations in fission like the DHR-400, a simple nuclear reactor like those in universities which will be heating Haiyang city by the end of the year.

Meanwhile in the west we are left to take out “green loans” for insulation and heat pumps for housing we can’t afford. It’s no wonder people have put so much effort into denying climate change, I think they are the only ones to comprehend how miserable emissions cuts will be in the west.
