In these snarked times, let's celebrate the 150th anniversary of "The Hunting of the Snark". I don’t visit X too often. Snark150 flaps its wings in blue sky.

The belfry so derided by Lewis Carroll was only visible for a year. It was soon concealed by a far more distinguished stone facade designed by G.F. Bodley.

I've just come across this very funny but little-known work by Lewis Carroll, published in 1873 under the not-very-anonymous pseudonym 'D.C.L.' (Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge - a rearrangement of his real initials).

@FranManns Due to FrankManns' habit to respond to posts you find FranManns response to my post (see above) in the repost which you see below 😉: x.com/FranManns/stat…

Eat what you like.

@FranManns If the fake is good or better than the real thing, why shouldn‘t I eat it? However, is that necessary? For meatless food I prefer to eat dishes which have a long tradition. I did that for a while in India.
English
@FranManns Of course it a virtue of being able to think laterally.
Back to your habit: It looks as if you are interested in making it difficult for the readers of your posts to understand the history of the debates to which your posts belong.

@FranManns Due to your habit to respond with reposts instead of staying in the thread it can happen that your answer is not related to what you reposted. This is what happened here.

If it is impossible for you to transmit of your science to the public mind, you are overspecialised.

@FranManns How do you measure the degree of specialization? At which level is overspecialization reached?

@FranManns Please post this as an answer to the post to which you responded.

Here's AI !
How MANY SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THE un IPCC POSITION ON ACC?
An overwhelming 97% to over 99% of actively publishing climate scientists agree with the core tenets of Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC) as outlined by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Multiple independent peer-reviewed studies and meta-analyses verify this near-universal

When it becomes ignorance and loss of respect for other sciences.

De 55 kärnkraftverk som Frankrike byggde mellan 1973 och 1980 kostade cirka 100 miljarder euro i dagens penningvärde
– och levererar stabilt 75 % av landets el.
Sen skulle man bli grön och bygga vindkraft:
Man har betalat över 150 miljarder euro för att få fram ynka 8 % av elen – och den kommer när det blåser, inte när vi faktiskt behöver den.
Alltså: dubbelt så dyrt för en tiondel av effekten, plus att det är totalt opålitligt.
Vindkraft är inte bara dyrt. Det är en katastrofalt dåligt affär.

@Calgar42k @FRG2M @GeorgeEWade @mr__quake I also look at that as an engineer who (before my retirement) had a license to handle radioactive materials, but here many sciences are involved. That includes social sciences which explain the behavior of people who deal with nuclear waste with various objectives.
English
@FRG2M @GeorgeEWade @mr__quake i'm not arguing :) because there is nothing to argue over the science is very well known :)
English
@Calgar42k @GeorgeEWade @mr__quake What's the cost for the management of the nuclear waste? Any links where I can get the numbers (assuming that the waste always will be managed responsibly, that it won't be misused, that it won't be set free in wars etc.).

@GeorgeEWade @mr__quake It s factual by any reasonable metric nuclear energy is cheaper, more disponible, safer, and have less impact on the environment that any other form of production by several fa tors

'Africa should never burn Fossil Fuels because they will cause global warming'! Africans should never enjoy AC, cars, nice houses and a nice modern life.

That's not the point. The point is CO2 is essential to life. Take a lithium pill if this depresses you.

English
@FranManns Yes, CO2 is essential to life. So is water. So is lithium. You just don‘t want to have too much or not enough of it. You and I know that.
English
@FranManns Yes, the quote is correct. It's one of my favorite Snark quotes.
The preface of the original "The Hunting of the Snark" (archive.org/details/huntin…) is not on the last pages.

@MatthewTho36273 Politics explained in the Preface to "The Hunting of the Snark" The preface is on the last page. "Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes." The Bellman had it removed once or twice a week to have it revarnished and no one on board could remember which end of the ship it belonged to.
English
The quote is still correct.

@FranManns I see. The producer of the copy made a mistake.
