Don’t stop, babe, I’m about to also

I’m not a capitalist but glad the free market regularly aligns with DEI. Thought the company I work at would back off a bit to the news coverage of outraged hysterics but they’ve doubled down.

So I had no context for how big that is and why it’s newsworthy

To put the sheer size of the 8 GW solar farm in perspective, the three largest solar farms in the world by capacity are China’s Ningxia Tenggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar farms, with a capacity of 3 MW each, and a 3.5-GW solar farm outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.

Tho still didn’t understand the scale until I looked up a stat on nuclear

Nuclear energy has been powering the U.S. grid for the past 6 decades and produces around 1 gigawatt of power per plant on average.

Then again, I thought, maybe nuclear power might be less productive than I think it is, so looked up a list of biggest power plants in the world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations#Top_20_largest_power_producing_facilities

• Number 1 is Three Gorges Damn at 22 GW
• there is an 7.96 GW nuclear power plant in Japan
• but 8 GW would be the 10th biggest power plant in the world

Then I learnt that that nuclear power plant has been out of action since like 2017. It’ll soon(?) be active again but for now the record for biggest nuclear is held by a 7.4 MW power plant in South Korea

In conclusion, my ADHD medications have worn off and I should go to bed

Suprising how numb we all are to countries saying they will make an entire population suffer rather than talking about fighting the military. We are just one or two layers away from countries saying “we’ll kill all the babies till they regret even thinking about looking at us sideways”

It was a difficult read cause of how biased it is

The number of batteries in the ghost realm killed by Gameboys must be the ghost version of the great garbage patch

What a dogshit article with goulish takes from a hog

I truly beleive that this falls under sacrificing yourself to save lives

I could shame OP for falling for the crypto hype but I think the more important lesson here is to never ever mix family and finances.

Even if you know for 100% fact that you have a slam dunk investment, it’s not worth it. Money corrupts.

Never loan money, even if you don’t expect it to get paid back. It creates a power imbalance. Envy and resentment for you having money is better than creating any financial ties.

Never go into business with family.

Don’t mix finances and family. Family is more important than money.
