“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid
i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this
im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.
please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.
im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.
Pilot projects in Germany & France show that the combination of solar panels and vineyards are both a solution to generate more renewable energy and make good wine! Great news for the sometimes brought up conflict of agriculture VS solar power generation.
How it works:
Panels mounted high to leave room for vines + machinery
Semi-transparent, with a tracking system to follow the sun
Rotate to let in more light on cloudy days
Insulate ground by ~2°C—protects against late frosts AND heatwaves
The benefits:
higher yields:
Chardonnay: +61%
Marselan: +31%
Grenache Blanc: +18%
better quality:
1% lower alcohol (with better acidity balance)
Fruitier taste profile
preserving the typical taste of German Riesling
harvesting at optimal maturity
Bonus perks:
60% less irrigation water needed
15% reduction in vine death
Even though the focus on top crop quality reduces the yield from solar panels you get better wine and power for several hundred homes. And if electrification of agricultural machinery progress it could even lower the carbon emission on growing the wine!
As viticulture suffers from the effects of climate change, German researchers are experimenting with technology that fosters growth while al
A French company that installs moveable photovoltaic panels in vineyards has found they can control yields and produce more appealing wines
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change threatens traditional winegrowing regions, with about 90% of areas like southern France at
They should ship Brennan Lee Mulligan over to the UK and make him compete in Taskmaster. I think it'd be sort of a vacation from the kind of experiments that Sam plays on him
Conversely, I think Alex Horne should appear in person on Game Changer, in character as the Taskmaster’s Assistant now assisting Sam.
He should at first be pleasantly surprised by how nice Sam is as a boss, compared to Greg — he speaks so politely to him! — and over the course of the episode should grow more and more uncomfortable with Sam’s sunny-eyed sadism.
I hope I'm online when it happens. I want to see a sudden flood of crab rave memes right after refreshing my dash, and in the middle of it all, the Castiel news meme. That's how I want to learn of it; not through anything solemn or serious, but via overwhelming silly celebration.
TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!
"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.
They are not supposed to automatically redirect you without you clicking them, they are not supposed to cause a pop-up, they are not supposed to freeze your screen.
This is all bugs or malicious advertising which is also against tumblers ad policy. You should report all ads which do this.
Let’s get rid of those horrible monopoly ads, together.
My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying
