dragon ball z was so good i wouldnt even consider it an anime. it was more like a documentary it was so good

pryathis

Terrible imo.

Dragged fights on for literally 10 episodes, same storyline over and over again, plot armor a mile thick.

goku did so much, so much for the planet and you’ve done? I’m sorry… who are you?

Thinking about the werewolf from the hate mail Lemgo council pharmacist David Welman (1595 - 1669) got after being accused of being a werewolf

What's going on everyone

shelley's ozymandias but it's about lost websites & broken links from bygone days of internet history

look on my works ye mighty and despair [geocities link]

Say no more!

I met an admin on an antique site,

Who said: two vast and broken hyperlinks

Stand in the cyan menu. To their right,

A glitter gif of Mickey Mouse still winks,

Whose pixel smile, and endless looped delight

Tell that its maker well those passions knew

Which yet survive, stamped on this lifeless shell:

The mind that shaped them, and the hand that drew.

And on the header green, pink words appear:

My name is Ozzie Mandias LOL

This is my homepage—come pull up a chair!

Little beside remains. Round the decay

Of QuickTime music tracks, boundless and bare,

The leveled geocities stretch away.

people are like "if you put crabs in a bucket they can't escape because they keep pulling each other back in, this is called crab bucket mentality and describes why people don't help each other" and never acknowledge that crabs do not naturally occur in buckets, a human with more power had to put them there

creepsandcrawlers

ALSO the crabs arent acting with any kind of malicious intent, theyre not thinking "oh no youre coming down with me" theyre thinking "pinch pinch pinch whats going on right now" its insane to extrapolate a moral point about humans from their behavior

breadbird

reblog if you engage in crab bucket mentality (pinch pinch what is going on here)

well… second time’s the charm?

Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.

…the solar e-waste glut is coming. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects that up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life, and that the world will be generating about 6 million metric tons of new solar e-waste annually. While the latter number is a small fraction of the total e-waste humanity produces each year, standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels. Recovering the most valuable materials from one, including silver and silicon, requires bespoke recycling solutions. And if we fail to develop those solutions along with policies that support their widespread adoption, we already know what will happen.

“If we don’t mandate recycling, many of the modules will go to landfill,” said Arizona State University solar researcher Meng Tao, who recently authored a review paper on recycling silicon solar panels, which comprise 95 percent of the solar market.

This is not a condemnation of solar power itself - but a lesson in how green capitalism undermines it’s own efforts by attempting to create a consumer market for what should remain infrastructural.

The type of photovoltaic panels are being sold to individual homeowners as a responsible purchase to help the environment. However the reality is that these panels are simply cheap enough that a market can be created, which is untrue for other solar systems.

PV panels are inefficient, especially when they are simply bolted to a roof. The more efficient systems of solar power are not things which can be sold to the average homeowner, and thus are not as popular within capitalism. This inefficiency is precisely what will generate the e-waste in question.

Efficient systems of solar power are centralized facilities where mirrors are used to reflect sunlight onto a particular location. The most common version of this still uses PV panels, however they are able to use less panels and get much higher output through auxiliary systems - mirrors, sun-tracking, and so on which remain unavailable to consumers.

The far more promising method of solar power does not use Photovoltaics at all. Concentrated solar thermal has more in common with geo-thermal than it does your typical PV grid. These power plants use a field of mirrors to reflect a huge amount of sunlight into one location, transferring a lot of heat to that one location. The heat is converted into electricity via a steam turbine.

Additionally because Solar-Thermal is a heat based system, power can be retained in the form of heat using systems like molten salt. This reduces the demand for efficient systems of storing electricity itself, one of the greatest challenges to both photovoltaic and wind based power systems.

pulp-punk

I drew 32 versions of Bulma, all are costumes taken from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. I tried my best to put them in chronological order!

These definitely aren’t ALL of Bulma’s outfits, I skipped a bunch just because it’s hard to find full reference, or because I’m tired, or because I didn’t want to.
