I see your Norwegian phosphates and raise you ALL minerals.

EDIT: Video is "but what if mining more to keep the party going?" and a lot of mining is talked about, along with pumped hydro and the typical discussion about not needing to replace all primary energy input (because, yes, it is important that we factor in purely electrical systems are more efficient which for things like EVs offsets their lower energy density in storage).

It's informative, just misses the lack of this happening on any scale, the rampant raping of the wilderness to enable this life to continue and a couple other things I can't be arsed to mention.

I will never not be amazed by the people that insist the best way out of a hole is to keep digging, or in this case, dig up is I guess the Green Revolution.

poo poo needs to keep on keeping on, else we may awaken to the idea that things be hosed. I hope I'm alive when economists and politicians are roundly taken to the streets and clobbered for enabling the dumbest poo poo, but then that would assume a realisation would be forthcoming. Complex adaptive systems be damned, I want my bloody denouement!

Par for the course for Frenchies. I want the drat Anglos to do something. Fed up of watching revolutionary action happen elsewhere.

Revolt against the system tonight? No, thank you. I'm comfy on my sofa posting, ta.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Of relevance to my disorder, Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher, created the word solastalgia. It is the pain experienced when the place where one lives and loves is under immediate destruction. It is felt as a sense of erosion of belonging (identity) to a particular place and a feeling of distress. It is a lived experience, a form of homesickness when one is still at home.

cool, learned a new word today :)

Dog Case
Oct 7, 2003

Heeelp meee... prevent wildfires
Yesterday I took the dog out for his daily mandatory walk, knowing it was the long weekend and every park would be swamped. We went to the walking path next to a small marina just down the road, and while the boat ramp and surrounding parking lot was Boat Hell filled with lifted trucks gunning their engines and circling the parking lot jockying for position at the boat ramps, and the water was filled with boats roaring around aimlessly, pumping gallons of fuel worth of exhaust directly into the water, the path and trails were completely empty and we didn't see a single other person walking.
We found this guy hanging out on a log like he was enjoying the view, and he let us get really close before he even noticed we were there.
