Why Don't We Have Nuclear Fusion Power Yet? - SciShow [youtube.com]
Robecology comments on Feb 7, 2019:
"Fusion is at least 30 years away"...Sounds vaguely familiar. "Fission will be cheaper and make less waste than Coal or oil" was the other wildly optimistic thing we heard decades ago. Wind power works. No waste. no heat. Simple construction. No....birds avoid them; no significant deaths to ...
Robecology replies on Feb 7, 2019:
@F-IM-Forty There's a lot of data and little/no "prayer" that goes in to wind gen science. All of Florida - even off shore, "disqualifies" for wind-gen investments because of the not-that-strong/not-that-consistent winds. Note on the maps at the site, attached, that strong, consistent winds hit a wide path in the Central and upper U.S. https://windexchange.energy.gov/maps-data

@Lillyfield41 apprehensive, yes; ...but I'm sorry; this comment he made "I do not understand why someone who wants to date would not have a photo." sounds frightfully naive. To me this should be common sense by now. Be cautious. Don't contact folk who are posting with no pics...they clearly have their reasons.. you're in your 40's and he's in his 50's....yet you both are asking this question like you haven't a clue...the naiveté almost seems fake/false/pretentious.

Robecology replies on Feb 6, 2019:
@NorCalFreethinker Now you got it. My strategy? (what it used to be, anyway) I'm not perfect. I'm very short. Not that good looking. So I can't expect a hottie or a "babe" to get all excited about me. I'm going to show them all my pics; my best and worst; great smiles and squints. That way if they are impressed enough to get in touch, we've gone past the preliminary screening. I won't look at women who don't seem ready - vague pictures, too few, too brief a profile, too many expectations. Nope...not me. Next....

@NorCalFreethinker the opposite!! I'm not saying you're immature; I'm saying you're old enough to know better. Maybe you're new at this; I haven't read your profile...but I'm trying to boost you up by saying just don't worry about those who don't post pics. ...they have their reasons....but you can safely assume they're not as ready to date as the ones who provide lots of pics and info. Just look at/contact the ones who are "ready" and don't trouble yourself with the ones not posting pics/ not enough info.

Great! But let's think first pedestrian! Terra's resources have been overexploited, they need pause for (limited) regeneration. #freetheterrafamily #moralevolutionfirst #terrianlifeisuniqueandfinite #terraprotectivityispriority
Robecology replies on Feb 6, 2019:
I concur with Terra/Gaia's resources being overexploited. We won't get a "pause" until later this century (there is a prediction of ZPG in 4-5 decades); but fortunately there's a trend to slow down our growth. It should actually start to decline as family planning wisdom takes hold. In the meantime you do understand that this car has the net energy equivalent of a 100 MPG vehicle? It has no exhaust. It's all Electric. It's quiet, and efficient. I plug it in to recharge it. True; power plants pollute; but their pollution controls are far more sophisticated and better than those on individual cars. And nearly all of Tesla's components - even the battery - is 100% recyclable. Go to www.Tesla.com to get more info and stats/data
Interesting story.
kmaz comments on Feb 6, 2019:
so, the used vehicle no longer worked properly after 66k miles? 3 Battery replacements? I ask because I will never be able to afford a new one and the used ones are expensive compared to their Mercedes/Lexus/Audi/BMW/etc. used equivalents.
Robecology replies on Feb 6, 2019:
It was working...I just had the mixed blessing of experiencing a better equipped Tesla to decide it was time to upgrade! ...and please don't say you'll never be able to afford one. #1. The prices are dropping #2. It's the car of the future; I'll share a 12 minute video in a minute to explain. #3. Once you test drive it...you'll have to own one. #4. I'm not wealthy...just a retired teacher on a small pension...I. go to yard sales and used stuff shops all the time. But once I test drove this machine I had to have it. Go to www.Tesla.com, find a service center near you, and test drive one...it will blow you away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Jg1IJ68_g

Malcolm X said "if you vote Democrat you're a chump" for a reason. That doesn't mean anyone should vote for the GOP, either, since they're a straight up racist party. In the choice between overt and covert racist parties, the answer is . . . a political revolution.

Of course we need to focus more on all sorts of abuse. But there's nations that are equally "crowded" or are parallel to us in many ways, but don't have the gun violence.

@Trajan61 How did I know you'd take it that way? No. I would never suggested abortions are good. They're not "killing babies"....but they're still the last choice forced on them by those who fight family planning....folks like you. Abortions should be a last line of decision-making. But; again - if we welcome family planning for the poor and ignorant, then their needs for abortions go away. If you want less tax money going towards abortions and more to go to things you like, you fight abortion and family planning funding - which causes the unwanted and unloved population - and thus the prison population to grow. If you want an end to the poor and ignorant getting abortions - You welcome family planning. You give them an alternative - or they will keep having babies - and they will grow up to be the scourge of society. It's in the hands of conservative voters...and it's a fiscally conservative strategy as well (save society money; welcome family planning - thus ending abortions).

@brentan I'm not saying it; it's well established science; search "Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny". in other words, as we developed in the womb, we parallel the evolution of vertebrates. As we develop outside the womb, the "evolution" is a gradual process that results, after years, with a fully conscious human. But it takes years. Analogies to the Recapitulation theory have been formulated in other fields, including cognitive development and art criticism. Think about your earliest memories. Age 3? Age 4? The age where you first realized your lifetime was limited? That's when you became fully human.

Indeed. I've heard/read that many behavior biologists say we "grow" in to being human. As our "consciousness" develops, our memories, our language skills, we sort of perform an individual "evolution" as we climb out of the mammals in to the primates...and eventually in to being "human". Just as our early embryonic stages resemble those of all vertebrates...only later do we become "human-like"...some scientists (myself included) say we are not born human.... https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2016/07/13/biologically-speaking-this-is-why-humans-are-born-to-die/#4cf9d0fb4a48

Pffff. What's the next? "I never said I hated Mexicans, just all the people that are brown". Wait, I just said I hated all illegal browns...
