  • Solar Panels that Use Peanut Shells, Instead of Some of The Rare Earth Metals.

    Jump

  • I haven't seen that episode and I unfortunately can't provide the specific answer you're looking for but there does seem to be a good amount of of people doing research on using organic materials like peanut shells for energy related project and peanut shells are considered low cost and easy to source. There's a teen in Zimbabwe who worked on harvesting energy from Peanut shells . Scientists in Canada created a new capacitor from Peanut shells. A a physicist from Cheikh Anta Diop University in Senegal has done work on energy storage using Peanuts. There's been research into utilizing Peanut shells for solar desalination and a town in Argeinta uses them to keep the power on so I'm sure this is something we'll be hearing more about in the future

  • The article is attributed to Glanze Patrick and if you click their name you'll see a list of other articles they've written. I think it's meant to be written in a generic tone so I can see why you would ask. I assume the author is human but who knows if they used something. It can definitely be hard to tell these days. I certainly hope not.

  • Listing bullet points from the article is something I consider to be very low-effort. I posted two paragraphs. People can read further if they are inclined.

  • Looking for some 60s film recommendations

    Jump

  • Since you like Psycho, I'd recommend Peeping Tom by Michael Powell or several movies by Mario Bava from the era like The Girl Who Knew Too Much and Blood and Black Lace. Eyes Without a Face is also Great. Also Rosemary's Baby and Repulsion by Polanski. For Japanese Films you should check out Yojimbo, Sword of Doom, and 2 by Seijun Suzuki ; Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter. Also check out Dr. Strangelove by Kubrick and if you like New Hollywood westerns , etc Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch are requisites. French New Wave stuff is important so maybe Breathless and Band of Outsiders and of course Melville's "Le Samourai." Spaghetti Westerns were very influential and Leone's Man With No Name Trilogy ( A Fistful of Dollars, For a few Dollars More, The Good the Band and the Ugly ) and Once Upon A time in The West are a good starting point. There are so many but those are a few recommendations that might send you down further rabbit holes.

  • As you should. The admins and moderators of this instance share in that sentiment. It would be a contradiction of this organization's mission statements and policies aimed at protecting artists if that's the case.

  • It’s a nitpick sure but a weird thing to state in the article.

    I agree with both points in this sentence. I appreciate your feedback. The author cold have elaborated on that point more but it's such a minor part of the article and I'm surprised to see people focusing only on that one line and some being outraged by it. That one line seems a bit negligible to the larger points presented in my opinion.

  • Thanks. Solarpunk is deeply connected to Praxis as evidenced throughout this instance and readings that have been shared already. I'm trying to understand what specifically in this article could be useful for this community. As the first commenter pointed out, it's a bit unclear from the piece itself

  • Power prices are expected to soar under new tax cut and spending law

  • While there may be some truth in that it's a pretty broad generalization and the article isn't about blame it's about the impact the bill will have.

  • Thanks for catching that. It's valid criticism and the article should attribute more sources. There are other articles about this program that are unfortunately behind a paywall and some just mention "pilot programs" but don't specify much further. There is this company in The Netherlands which seems likely to be one of them. You'll need to translate the site to your preferred language.
