@ChoochSkookum I’m like this at work. When I’m home phone goes where it can’t be seen

>Everything except tapping on my phone has become exhausting. A hassle. >When can we finish talking so i can go back to my phone tapping? >Are we almost done working on this so i can tap on my phone? Is it just me or are there really people out there with this mindset?

@grok @TheEinarkist @Electroversenet @grok estimate how much energy is required to transport and recycle these into end-use peoducts

The landfill claim uses 2017 projections assuming zero progress. Old paradigm. Reality: 85-90% of a turbine (tower, nacelle, foundation, metals) recycles easily today. Blades are the remaining challenge but solutions are scaling fast. Europe has landfill bans. Blades go to cement kilns, mechanical shredding for construction, or chemical recycling. Vestas CETEC tech chemically disassembles epoxy blades into reusable fibers and resin components — scaling commercially now with Stena Recycling. No redesign needed for existing blades. Siemens Gamesa RecyclableBlade (special resin) already deployed in projects like Sofia; enables ~95% material recovery. Repurposing into bridges/playgrounds also diverts waste. New blades designed for full circularity. The "impossible to recycle" era is ending.

An estimated 40 million tons of wind turbine blades will end up in landfills by 2050. Each modern blade weighs around 10 to 15 tons--mostly fiberglass and epoxy composites with 1 to 2 tons of carbon fiber, balsa and foam, plus roughly a ton of steel and copper for structural support and lightning protection. All mined, smelted and transported using fossil fuels. Then once they wear out, after just 15 years, those complex materials are almost impossible to recycle, so most are simply buried. It's another hidden cost of green energy and the complete opposite of sustainable.

Pro Waymo, pro data center, pro nuclear, pro solar, pro train, anti zoning, pro housing has to be one of the most correct and unelectable combinations in America

@ChoochSkookum On a grinder or with files?

@view_potential Its all freehand. You can tune the bevel as you go. thats the trick.

3 more chef knifes almost finished beveling. Need to put handles on the first 3

@FrankWCE1992 @CoachPapaJohn They’re working day jobs.

@CoachPapaJohn So where are all your 5ft 8 elite athletes then? because they sure as hell aren't in the NBA or NFL.

My favorite part of the World Cup is Europeans not thinking world class athletes can pick up soccer if they start at five years old. It’s all skill acquisition man, Europeans are not born better with their feet

@procyoncalor @nebelcanal Do you know any good brands for nickel free SS?

@nebelcanal 💛 The whole "essential" shtick is made up nonsense too, PUFA too. It's never discussed how much is "essential". Cr6 is highly toxic and most ppl have too much iron in their system. Glass is very inert. Wood is antibacterial. SS can be made without nickel/cobalt.

The hotels and caterers who Vollrath serves value extreme stain resistance over hundreds of thousands of uses above other qualities of 18/10 steel. Atopic illness sufferers may consider seeing if switching to 18/0 or enameled steel helps symptoms. x.com/procyoncalor/s…

@MrBird06 @SashoTodorov1 Yep. The luxury is there to lure them in and offset the hundreds of millions of dollars of lost earnings by missing 4 years.

@SashoTodorov1 College sports being luxurious, as you state, is the reason why these 4 years are wasted from the standpoint of developing elite soccer talent for professional leagues. Lamine Yamal is 18, he’s not going to waste any time at college, no he’s at FC Barcelona.

Dear God this is what it must be like for Euros experiencing quadriannual US soccer discourse. Just so insanely far from reality.

@Simon7Holmes @capifico22 @KVanValkenburg So he was good in at least 2 disparate sports, and you don’t think he would be good at a third?

@view_potential @capifico22 @KVanValkenburg We’re talking real football here, not handegg.

This comes up every four years and I have some actual insight to this very phenomenon. In 2016, I profiled Josh Norman for ESPN the Mag. He was — at the time — inarguably one of the best corners in the NFL. He got invited by Zlatan to come watch a PSG game, so I tagged along as he went to Paris. We got to watch training a few days before the game, and at the end of training (practice for you Americans) the PSG guys invited Josh to jump in and play a bit. Josh was an elite NFL corner and a huge soccer fan. He’d played some soccer as a kid too so he wasn’t just a novice. It was comical how much the PSG guys had to slow things down to make it fun for him. It was like the scene in Friday Night Lights (the TV show) where the Panthers goof around and pretend to tackle little kids. That’s how elementary they had to make it. The tried to feed Josh to “score” a goal and it was almost condescending how much they had to pretend it was real soccer. Afterwards, someone handed us an American football. In one of the most surreal experiences of my life, I spent 15 mins throwing passes to PSG players. It was equally comical. Honestly I’ve seen something as ridiculous as David Luiz trying to catch an American Football. It didn’t just bounce off his hands, it *exploded* off his hands. At some point, the skills do not translate. You would need to live it from a young age. Americans love to tell themselves they could be good at soccer if they only cared. Maybe they’d be better if they started young enough, but I’m not convinced it would be 6-3 WRs and there is no chance it would be LeBron or Kobe or anyone 6-8; there is a reason the best soccer players world wide are mostly under 6 feet. Either way, plugging “athletes” in and arrogantly assuming they’d thrive at soccer would never ever work.

@Simon7Holmes @capifico22 @KVanValkenburg I got bad news for you m.youtube.com/watch?v=CQndcO…

@capifico22 @KVanValkenburg It’s similarly obtuse to now change the argument. People have been explicitly saying that if the current NFL and Basketball stars, like LeBron, had instead focused on football from an early age, they would’ve been successful at it. No evidence at all that’d be true.

@i2cjak Complete nerd snipe ego death. I don’t think I ever want to think again. Just put me out of my misery now.

bro is actually REINDVSTRIALIZING and he's fucking 18 meanwhile you have 35 million gundo LARPERS that can't do HALF of this shit total zoomer victory, millenial extinctioln

@Stephen19718352 This is true to the point where I’m almost disgusted by software development now. Like it’s permanently marred in my mind.

@peptometry @GraemeShinnie Eh not really anymore lol

@RealSimpleAriel Because people can’t afford food, gasolin, or homes. The stock market benefits the haves alone.

@view_potential A strong dollar is bad for US exports. How would bad exports= a better quality of life? How would a stock market being choppy = better quality of life?

It's subtle, but a breakout in $DXY from here would likely be a headwind for equities.

@izebel_eth It feels odd seeing tuckerman’s ravine posted by a ct anon

a bad long loses money as everyone gets poor anyway but a bad short makes u poor while everyone else gets rich a lot of bottom shorters silently going thru this today, deserved, fuck bears

@Peoplewish Just annoying I waited all day Friday for MU to break out then it happens on Sunday night

Welp there goes my entire watchlist…. Can’t buy shit now 🫠

@literalbanana brb

they say it increased his IQ by a full standard deviation lmao

@hunterlanier Same here. Instantly stresses me out anytime I have to use it beyond a simple question.

Two years ago, everybody I know wasn’t using AI for anything. I was pretty much using it 24/7 today, everybody I know is using AI for things and I’m not using it at all. There is some primal repulsion in my head. Grosses me out Was I just early and already finished the cycle?
