I love Energy. Lots of it. Unlimited. Endless.
Probably should be a sun-god worshipper (apart from the bit about getting burnt... ;-)

M.Eng in Renewable Power - never used, due to the climate wars in Australia over the last couple of decades. About to retire, but still passionate about where the world is going.

Also love re-wilding urban areas. And so on... lol

Oh.. I live in Perth, W.Aus - needed for context, a lot of the time! ;-)

Live long, and Prosper.

How many times will it have to be said - the consumption to extinction of fossil AND nuclear fuels is INEVITABLE - regardless of the realities of climate change, pollution, or ANY other variables...

The lack of embrace for renewables over the last generation by 'conservative' mentality governments and mindsets has NOTHING to do with reality - it's purely a LACK of IMAGINATION.

A survey of the world's solar panels shows a global energy boom

Satellite imagery reveals the staggering rise of solar farms around the world in recent years. Can Australia get on board?

The man with no imagination.
...Except how to manipulate division for political gain.
A perfect example of a softly spoken monster with a heart of stone.

@mcc - great point!
A message is a message is a message.
A "direct message" is an oxymoron.

The real distinction is between a message and a "group message", but the mug punters at fb never quite got that distinction, and so the idiocy of DM and PM persists.

In the Discord Android notification settings, what is the difference between "direct messages" and "messages"?

Roger that! I've only used what I hope are well provenanced cells, and recharge them in a 'known' charger, but I'll keep that in mind! Thankyou :D

I've used AA size lithium rechargeables - 3V6 - with dummy cell(s). Seems to work well, with 1 lithium replacing either 2 or 3 alkaline. The voltage range is either a bit overvoltage with 2:1, or just on the low end with 3:1, but nothing exceptionally 'wrong'.

I love that sentiment of 'tending to paradise'.

I'm convinced if you look at the bible as an anthropologist (I'm an athiest), the very very first 'commandment' is written (depending on translation, it's between the lines, or implied) in the first few paragraphs as something like:

"Tend the Garden"

I'll take it as gospel from the local Aboriginal attitude to Country.

Good on you! I usually just skim/skip the concluding (repetitive wrap-up) paragraphs in articles!
I much prefer something meaty and quotable in the main body ;-)

I'm probably non-neurotypical, but for me, my phone is to contact people (and have maps, searches, etc), not for socialmedia.

Socialmedia is just for home - on a PC, where I won't get eyestrain from it.

If I took pics when out, then home is the time to put them on SM, not when I'm actually socialising.

All I want from SM is a good browser based PC UX.

The kids now, will finally 'get it', when they start having to put on reading glasses to read a phone.
