From what I have gathered. In German you can just make up words, it it makes sense everyone will just go along with it.

There are a lot of words in English that could exist but if you made them someone would look at like you are stupid for thinking something that isn’t a word is a word. You can’t just make words.

I got some merino wool socks recently.

I wore them a lot and they don’t smell and they are warm! I’m starting think people will just buy the cheapest shit there is irrelevant of the price per use or the actual value of it.

If people didn’t want cheap cookie cutter suburbs they would spend more for something else. But they don’t.

Its the same as when everyone complains about how airlines used to have good food, lots of leg room, attractive staff. The someone goes out and goes that and business fails because no one wants to pay extra and instead they want the cheapest thing possible.

The laws certainly don’t help and the finances are broken, which isn’t a failure if capitalism its a failure of politics.

I’ve been using libretube. But it seems to be struggling a lot more lately. Not sure if it’s not being maintained or something.

Brave removes ads though.

I’ve watched a few WW2 docs some I hope I’m not confused.

But this one is really good and goes into the manufacturing and oil resource side of ww2. Which I think is horrifically undervalued in war documentaries

For your own sake get the British version not the American one. America narration is always over the top.

People dressed so much better then. Everyone looks so much nicer and respectable. There is still the weird baggy dress clothes Americans seem to love. But otherwise, better all round.

But now people know. Someone’s going to be awake for 2 days trying to work it out.

What’s the easter egg?

If I was famous my dream would get paid to travel around the world.

I just feel like the world isn’t that interesting anymore. Where ever you go it’s just full of people trying to get your money.

This travel shows now only work well in obscure places without tourists. The old ones are the best because the world was more interesting then.

Someone post it on twitter.

Ukraine should have a just stop oil fund raiser.

Raise some money. Blow up an oil refinery and say it was just stop oils funding. Will be loads of media attention and good for both sides.

I found downloading videos is the best way around watching adds.

Mirror seem to be hit or miss. But downloading off a “download youtube videos” website never fails.

Or use brave. It’s a great browser.

Tempted to send a message to the BBC and everyone from the UK should also.

See how they respond

At this level it’s not that much of a problem. As pointed out it’s capacity not production.

China has built huge numbers of HVDC power lines to move electricity around the country. Presumably their hydro is somewhat flexible. All their new coal plants are variable that’s somewhat of the reason why they are continuing to build new ones because they need the fast stop start. It’s basically what the rest of the world use gas for, but China use dirty coal instead.

People also look at renewables as if it is traditional power. It is absolutely not. Renewable power will be wasted at times and that’s okay, it’s actually most financially stable way of operating.

First you reduce fossil fuels plants/hydro to absorb the energy. Then you turn off fossil fuel plants for some time. Then you turn off renewables for a while. This is where somewhere like california/UK/Southern Australia is. At this point you still have expensive electricity at parts of the day but also really cheap (sometimes negative) electricity for significant parts of the year. Only then does it make sense to install batteries.

2024 is going to be huge for battery storage. Especially if the sodium ion batteries work as expected which they are expected to. But even with batteries not all energy will be stored.

I bet most people couldn’t name a prime minister under Victoria or the prime minister during WW1.

I’m pretty certain there has never been a black person as important as those in British history.

It’s not whitewashing if your entire country was white for almost all its history.

Most non whites came over after ww2. It’s not racist to say their just really wasn’t that many historical black people. Forcing a narrative is stupid. This is why so many people have issues with wokeness.

Our kids don’t know enough about history anyway. That could be solved. But it doesn’t mean they should know about some random black guy that did almost nothing of note just because he is black. Plenty of people did almost nothing of note and we don’t know about them.

Sell off all the HS2 land for a loss maybe?
