The answer is probably boring and dystopian like SEO for engagement ragebait. It’s hoping you have the same opinion you’re searching and will devolve into arguing with others needlessly over which Linux distros suck (all of them except yours) why yours is the best (it isn’t) and why others need to switch (they don’t unless they still use Windows)
Afaik people don’t trust the in house desktop environment they’re still developing. It’s not mature yet, but pop uses a stable release model. That’s the biggest thing besides snaps? I can’t remember if they use snaps but everyone hates on snaps a lot.
Well when it hits 7 I mean they literally have no spare energy for anyone or anything else.
The death of the petrodollar will do a lot to encourage renewables. When you don’t have the US breathing down your neck to buy oil in USD to support their empire you can buy it with whatever currency you want and decarbonize. The current world order and its financial system is what’s kept us on fossil fuels for so long. You literally couldn’t get off of them meaningfully or you would piss off the US. Any attempt to change that system was met with arrest, revolution, or death for those who suggested it.
Specifically I’ve heard that about the Energy Returned On Energy Invested (EROEI) which is the oil and gas industry’s equivalent to Levellized Cost Of Electricity (LCOE)
for reference the spindle top formation in Texas (that started the oil boom and kicked industrialization into high gear) was an EROEI of 100:1. You burn a barrel of energy, get 100 barrels.
Nowadays things are far more bleak… Our average EROEI is around 12-14 as a global average. Tar sands is 2-4. Shale oil (fracking) isn’t much better at around 4-6, sometimes less.
As an aside on why fracking is so low: you put a loooot of energy into drilling and banging, and then you lose 70% of your flow after a year. 2 years after drilling the well is dead and you need to do it all over again.
A lot of economists (and other experts) have placed a point of no return for the world economy around an EROEI of 7, which we should reach in roughly 10-15 years.
Once energy returns get that low the oil industry exists to support the oil industry. There isn’t enough surplus energy to run a complex globalized nation. It’s a bit like starvation when all we’ve known is a surplus of calories for 200 years.
Clicksprings antikythra mechanism series is a fantastic deep dive into ancient Hellenic engineering, tool making, and manufacturing. He covers period accurate methods and tools, and constructs the entire thing using the same tools and techniques the original designer would have used.
For reference, he’s an Australian clockmaker, so the antikythra mechanism is kind of a masterpiece he’s been working on for a long time. His custom made grandfather clock was another good one to watch if you need more.
Thanks ☺️! I’m glad you like it! It blew my mind when I first learned it.
It probably is for all of us. I can understand the first order effects of a 20% shortage for the world, and missing ⅓ of it’s fertillizer. The nth order effects I have no idea.
I’ve been buying more canned food, multiple bags of rice and different beans. Where I live 99% of our grid comes from hydro power so I’m not worried about blackouts. I’m buying stuff I normally eat anyways (sprats and sardines. Tuna/salmon snacks. Canned soups) and stockpiling since prices keep going up…
I keep hearing end of July, early August, but the very latest by September will be when the full shock hits in its entirety.
FYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.
Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA’d revanced (which might get both projects killed… Not wise IMO but they did it…)
Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can’t stand him and just go to morphe.
Or be an organ donor. Either works

😱😱 OMFG
You can remove them with the following:
1 part gasoline
1 part motor oil, ATF, diesel or whatever you have
A wine bottle
A rag soaked in gasoline
A lighter.
It won’t remove them in the original condition they were in while still inside the scooter but it will remove them.

He died like a Russian dissident except his death was actually an accident
I think calling him sundowning is attributing his malice instead to old age.
He’s a line-upping old pedo. He has “insider trading syndrome” which on the surface appears like dementia…
Yeah it’s pretty smart too since he’ll be dead in the next 10 years or less so he won’t have to live with consequences…

“Helicopter” isn’t heli - copter
It’s helico - pter.
Helico: Greek for helix or spiral.
Pter: Greek for wing, like a pterodactyl.
Honestly it’s a result of being the world’s reserve currency. At one point Brazil was the capital of rubber, and like 2 towns in Brazil made all of the latex the world used. They used to ship their clothing to Europe to be washed. Then 900 rubber tree seeds were smuggled out and it crashed their monopoly, devastating those towns.
Much the same has happened to the US when you can deindustrialize and print without consequences. The same happened to Spain with their silver mines in the age of sail. Silver flowed through Spain, but didn’t stay there… It was cheaper to buy foreign goods in Spanish silver than to pay a Spaniard to do it. When the silver ran out it all crumbled…
Trump killed the petrodollar and it’s going to turn the US into an inward looking regional power…
The only kind of sense an idea needs to make is financial sense…
