I’ve noticed that, I also appreciate you can kinda tinker which I appreciate. It’s wild being so accustomed to the limited control you have from using windows and mainstream software

I dual boot and am maybe considered a newbie. But I’ve had this set up for about a year slowly preparing to stop using Microsoft crap. It’s part of a longer path to digital privacy that was kicked into gear when the win 11 update made my Wi-Fi card disappear, like gone- like it was never installed. Fuck HP and Microsoft
Ironically I had disabled secure boot to try another distro. Was going to drop Ubuntu for something else, still might but no rush, plenty to learn.
I haven’t done the math but I studied a lot energy stuff for my degree. I can say for sure that’s it’s a hell of a lot more money and work than just reducing emissions in the first place. The below comment is accurate, if cynical; I knew someone who works on it in the states. You collect a bunch of co2 (using energy), then compress it (with energy), then ship it (yep diesel trucks), to salt caves where it is pumped (with energy) into the empty salt lined cave where the pressure causes the salt to sort of seal in a partial melt from the pressure. And hope we don’t accidentally frack it all back out. Needless to say I think it’s a waste of technology, money, and political will that’d be better spent on a plethora of other options.
Yea it’s pretty sad. Also ironic how k9 cops “form a bond” but a family pet (practically a family member) is considered property. I’m not sure but I think it’s “assaulting an officer” if it’s a cop dog or horse; not saying harming either of those are ok- just pointing out the double standard. To quote The Dude- “fucking cops man.”
The justice department estimates law enforcement kill 25-30 dogs per DAY in the US
In case your curious (idk this source):
Thanks man, I can math pretty hard but you’re the only field that uses imaginary numbers! e^i*pi still trips me out.
For sure there’s lots of political crap holding us back. I heard some crazy statistic about how much grid work would be needed to get us to replace coal and other fossil fuels with electricity.
I’d agree that the generation is handled, just need to build it. Maybe I’ll see you on the job down the road! Keep positive, you got this
For what it’s worth I think the stuff you guys learn is absolute wizardry. I’m going into my last two semesters of a BS in civil engineering, so I can relate. I do think my studies are easier than electrical but I’ve had a couple semesters where I was just floored by the difficulty, exhausted from the pace, and depressed thinking I’d get kicked from the program or bomb a crucial test.
I believe your other comment is correct, it will be worth it. I can already look at problems in a different way, and I understand things in a way that’s hard to explain in words.
My question: I’m concerned that the plans for green energy have a serious and unaddressed limitation in electrical power transfer. I think mining the needed metals to just build the stuff could further mess up the planet- not to mention the load the grid would have to handle. Do you foresee any changes in the ways we transmit power? Is changing from ac-dc or vice versa a feasible solution?
Lastly, be good to yourself, I extended my degree a semester and took it easy- really helped me. Good luck!
I highly suggest watching “The Last Waltz” directed by Scorsese. It has a serious list of guest appearances and is obviously a well done film documenting the last performance by The Band
I’ve been on iOS since the iPhone 3. I’m planning to switch soon. I’m not quite a power user and still dual booting my computer with Linux.
I was curious what you mentioned about unlocked phones not be able to be boot loaded. How could I determine this for sure? I’ve been looking at purchasing on back market dot com, but I’m open to purchasing elsewhere as long as it’s not amazon.
Thanks for that ebay link and this write up
