Clowns

Ever Crooked

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Five technological achievements! (That we wonโ€™t see any time soon.)

The usual clownishness from that shit site.

This is political, as all such things like this inevitably are. The reality is we could go to Mars in 10-12 years and set up a small colony if we threw a trillion dollars at it. This idiot just dislikes Musk and since he’s associated with Mars aspirations, worthless crap like this dribbles out from the intellectually challenged.

Superconductors are irrelevant and aren’t magic, so who gives a damn.

Fusion power is probably possible and if we crack it, great. If not, also who cares. We already have the sun.

New physics? Maybe, maybe not. We’d do better applying the physics we already know about.

Asteroid mining is not really needed but if it were, we could do it. At the moment it’s pointless.

And airships are also a big who gives a crap.

This reminds me of reading articles from around 1900 or so that talked about how heavier-than-air flight was impossible and that no one would ever travel that way. They also made a lot of other extremely-confident extremely-wrong predictions about things that would “never happen.”

Worthless.

Deserving It

Chill Annoying, Clowns

“Too uncool to deserve the stars.” Dang, that hits hard. Degrowther nonsense really does have us puling like an infant after someone takes its binky away.

Even easy things are now claimed to be “nerd fantasy” by people whose greatest fantasy is snarfing another doughnut. Fucking Christ, we deserve to lose.

Probe Po

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Vladimir Putinโ€™s dangerous drone probe is a moment of truth for NATO. Polandโ€™s prime minister warns of โ€œopen conflictโ€ with Russia.

All the good little liberals said this would “never happen” and there was “no reason” to increase defense spending.

You mean…they were smoking all the available crack rocks? Huh. Meanwhile, in the real world, Russia will attempt to roll across Poland in 2-5 years.

Sun Swore

Chill Annoying, Clowns

People incorrectly claim the degrowther movement has no political influence. In reality, though, degrowthers are everywhere. Most people in fact now are degrowth. We’ve collectively given up any vision of progress, of improvement, of collective organization to achieve societal benefits. It’s not the left or the right alone. Both sides are about making life worse in their own dipshitty ways.

If your energy use over time doesn’t look like China’s, you’re fucking up (and the US’s is about as depressing as the EU’s.):

Degrowthers are making everything worse. We should be building so much and burning up so much energy that the sun’s like, “Damn.” But no chance of that anytime soon as clowns are in charge of the circus.

Sol Des

Chill Clowns, Evil, Political Economy

We do seem to have just given up. Solar is far superior, though the desert isn’t lifeless. I agree that the priority should be solar, though, and put it in places that have the least long-term impact on humans.

Damn we are fucking up so bad.

Better Plan

Chill Annoying, Clowns

This is necessary, and better, and we were doing it in the 90s. But it got forcefully shut down by the identitarian liberals/leftists. Now we’re not even allowed to talk about it at all because trying to reconcile differences and create a better society is “racist.”

What we were doing during the 90s was far superior.

Track

Chill Amusing, Annoying, Clowns

Why in Zeus’s name would you make something so complex and difficult to deploy when you could just not do that?

You could just use a fixed bus for the solar panels with single-axis heliostats. In other words, put a โ€œcurtainโ€ of lightweight mirror strips (heliostats) in front of fixed solar panels. Don’t move the panels, move the mirrors. That way, the motion is minimal (only need a modest rotation range for 23.5ยฐ sun variation throughout the year) and don’t need to move a huge structure as the heliostats are extremely low-mass. This minimizes moving parts, doesn’t have whatever crazy shit is going on in that animation that will fail fast and catastrophically, and is not from a design loony bin.

Fuck does not one person have a damn brain up in here?

DNL

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Shit, I agree with the right largely about immigration and crime. At least the general ideas.

But I’ll never vote for those fucks because they think vaccines don’t work or cause autism, don’t believe climate change is real even as it destroys places they live, and think they can pray the gay solar panels away.

Only a right clown would vote for that. So I hold my nose and vote for the more reasonable Democrats. Even though they are do-nothing losers.

No Doc

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Check this out. It’s going to be blow your mind: Dr. House in the eponymous show was not actually a doctor.

Crazy, right?

Are people really this fucking uselessly stupid?
