This post argues that we should classify incidents by complexity (number of responders), rather than severity (impact):
"Complexity-based classification has a key advantage over that based on impact. Namely: by the time you’ve thought enough to know how complex a response you need, you already have the beginning of a plan. In other words, whereas the impact-based Fujita system is suited to analysis, the complexity-based ICS types are suited to action."

"I have a weird relationship with the Democratic Party. I don't believe in a two-party system, but I also understand the Democratic Party is a coalition and if we want the party to change, the balance of the coalition has to change. But right now, you open the hood on the Democratic Party, what you have is, I think, a bit of a power struggle over the last couple of years."

Canceling conferences and meetings in the US makes sense, as being in the US is now not safe for:
- LGBTQ+ (especially trans)
- women (especially pregnant)
- people with non-pale skin
- anyone with a food allergy (FDA is shut down)
- anyone with a compromised immune system (CDC is shut down; important health info is being suppressed)
- non-US-citizens
- anyone flying (as the result of the FAA firings; there have been multiple aircraft crashes since)

I was five or six when the picture tube blew on our black and white tv. It only got three channels, and westerns were going off the air, so my father never replaced it. And that's how I grew up without tv.
"Picture tube blew" was definitely the phrase we used, but yes, I assume something in the CRT stopped working. It might have made a loud snapping noise when it happened, but I could be misremembering. Regardless, the only real option was to get a new tv.
What timing! Early TV was stuck with westerns and not a whole lot else - your tube blew just as things were getting interesting! The three channel VHF thing was pretty common into the 80s when cable took off. The TVs I grew up with also had UHF tuners with a few more channels, but the reception (little loop antenna) was so bad, few bothered with it.

I think the most frustrating thing about watching Trump do whatever he wants is how it really hits home that Biden could have been doing whatever he wanted the last 4 years and simply chose not too.
Biden was never the guy to confront and defeat American fascism, he was just there to sell the liberals on it. And it went pretty smoothly.
In Ukraine, tensions are rife,
Trump's envoy suggested a truce, oh, what strife!
But Ukraine stood its ground,
No concessions were found,

Hi Portland! It's finally not January (jfc that felt like forever), which means we'll be meeting up for monthly letter writing at Revolutions Bookshop. We had to cancel last month so I'm extra looking forward to getting back at it and seeing everyone.
The space is wheelchair accessible and directly off the bus line. Beginners and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a mask and some friends! Everything else is covered.
This past week on my commute there has been someone writing homophobic and fascist stuff, so I've been covering it up. This is not to pat myself on the back, but to share how easy it is to carry a can of spray paint with you to make sure those things get covered as quickly as possible so that they know we are there to hold the line. Fascism is persistent, so we must be persistent as well.

Als Antwort auf droporain • • •Not all crops need 100% sun exposure in 100% of their growing regions.
Many crops do better with a little bit of well placed shading to help keep temperatures/sun damage down.
The way these panels are oriented they may also reduce wind flow over the crops which can improve water retention (but may lead to other problems if crops are over-irrigated).
Mathematically it's entirely possible to have better crop yield than a vast expanse of monocrops devoid of shelter.

ok we get you, you dont see any utility
you dont add anything and only rebate what the rest are saying
what makes you think i have not read it and have found a case use where it helps me¿?
what would be your solution¿? how would you plant crops¿?
enlighten us please add something to the conversation

In other words, the solar panels aren't taking away any crop space that wasn't already taken for windbreaks.
If you're used to a giant field of wheat with no protection from wind, it's a different equation. (With climate change, possibly a Dust Bowl waiting to happen, but that's another story.)

The plants also have a cooling effect on the panels, which further increases efficiency.

Als Antwort auf Warl0k3 • • •They have made the fences tall, which creates an impression of fragility, but we don't see how deep the posts run into ground. :)
I have a solar fence in operation for 1 year. My version is 1 panel width tall - about 1.2 meters tall, and I built it extremely cheap - 5 cm rectangular wooden posts with a metal screw tip running 30 cm into ground. Assembly using household screws and luck. During storms, it does change position, but I haven't noticed disassembly.
During hail, it would survive events that would smash my other panels, because a vertical surface exposes less target area and offers more oblique angles of collision to hailstones.
As for efficiency, my vertical array is the most efficient array I have during winter. It's never covered by snow and catches low sunshine better. In summer, it is the coolest (but not most efficient) array that I have, because it creates verticial convection and gives away heat more efficiently. But it differs from theirs because it's an east-west array (they seem to have used a north-south geometry to catch morning and evening
