There was a story about a guy who spent the night at a girls. Got up to shit and got back into bed and cuddled up to her.

The girl was like “did you just shit in the corner of my room?”

Anyway she chucked him out.

So just for context.

Fixed wind turbines can only really be put in in 60m depth or less. Water that shallow is usually close the coast though there are some exceptions like the dogger bank, but that’s rare.

If you are 100m off the ground you can see 36 km out to sea. (Or be visible 36 km from shore).

The EEZ of countries, where you can install wind turbines, is 370km from shore. Currently (new tech) there seems to be floating offshore capable of operating at 1km deep waters.

If floating wind takes off. Visibility might not be an issue at all. Wind speeds are higher and more constant out out sea. It’s a win, win, win. If it can be made cheap enough.

I think all the people saying they are voting for her because she is a women and everyone should vote for her or you are a sexist didn’t help.

She just seemed so unlikable and entitled.

He didn’t pray to Allah to save him, or make deals with him about changing your ways if you heal me from this misery.

There nothing like food poisoning to make you religious and reassess your entire life.

I hope I never get that sick ever again.

That doesn’t excuse the Americans though

Have you tried being blackout drunk?

That’s what did it for me

I was watching an old documentary about ww2. When France declared war on Germany they just sat on there border watching them. Some British politician or general or something was there and asked why they didn’t shoot them. They said “they aren’t bothering us so we don’t bother them”. They made one offence at the start of the war when Germany’s western flank was entirely exposed (it was also the only French offence of the entire war) they went about 100m then came back.

Then Germany attacked somewhere else and they folded.

Its actually amazing how much of a cluster fuck the start of ww2 was. Bringing back horses after inventing the tank 20 years before and using it ti win ww1 levels of intelligence.

I’m tall.

Facebook keeps recommending these hidden lifts that go into your shoes. I’m tempted to get them just to be even taller.

Is that the one that says “the glacier may look like this [picture] in 2100 if global warming keeps happening” and the glacier is noticeably more receded than that?

I hate cars as much as the next rational man. But I’m ironically really into the self driving car hype.

I think of transport like a pyramid.

Walking is at the top followed by micro mobility and cycling. Then at the bottom is trains, with metros/ trams above and buses above that.

The issue comes from two things. The last mile problem. You need to get to the railway station and sometimes it’s too far for a walk or a bike, or you need a bike at both ends. The “obvious” solution to that is to drive to the station. But then it just becomes easier to drive the whole way (especially if you need transport at the next station).

So people start driving and then there is less demand for public transport and more cars mean less people want to cycle.

I think self driving cars will be game changing. They solve the last mile problem which means metro and railway usage could very easily increase. Much, much higher usage of ride hailing means more people in each vehicles (might even replace buses with mini buses), those vehicles don’t need to park in say a cycle lane or even downtown. This frees up land and opportunity for more walking and cycling. Also people will be more comfortable cycling closer to a self driving car.

I really hope this causes a cultural shift and that shift is well utilised. But it could do absolutely nothing if those car brains foam at the mouth and complain about a new cycle path and bike storage no matter the positives.
