The holder of this coin is entitled to 2-3 hours of gardening, […]

This reminded me of time-banks.

It was used a lot in South American cities, at some point during the economic crisis of 2008. In practice it was working like this: people would declare in a sort of ledger what they can do and for how many hours, as well as what they needed and for how many hours. Everybody’s time was equaly valuable, no matter what they did.

It was going so well that they tried to accomodate stuff that would not fit in the time category, like renting a house. So they printed some sort of “contracts”/“money”. Government and mafia, printed counterfit and the project never recovered since.

(It’s been quite some time since I looked into this topic, so if I don’t remember something accurately, please let me know)

I noticed in the comments everyone really likes them, but this is not my experience.

True, no leakage. Mine, I got it at least 6 years bacl, never put in a dishwasher and it’s as good as new. But whenever I used it for a hot beverage, everything turns bad in it so much faster than anywhere else. Initially I thought I was not cleaning it well enough. I cut a sponge to reach everywhere and I was doing it daily, with the thingy lifted like in the last picture. I concluded it’s not that. It’s like the perfect conditions are created for new life to appear in it.

I still use it all the time, but only for water. Which also turns bad, but at least it can hold for a day or something, depending if it is room temp or cold.

Intreseting point you made there, and I think you are correct. Found this relevant percentage about Chile, Santiago. And damn, I had to do some digging.

According to official data, the fleet went from 922 electric buses in 2022 to 4,088 units in February 2026, and is projected to reach 4,400 electric buses during 2026 – a figure equal to roughly 68% of the entire system fleet. [source]

To clarify and to my understanding, here they talk about the Red Movilidad system fleet which is the public transport system that serves Santiago.

If I got you right, the percentages you are looking for are in the article and you can have a visual representation in Figure 2 - Share of the electric bus fleet (…)

I could have murdered your entire family yesterday, but I only killed one of them instead. […]

RCP8.5 was not about yesterday. It was about tomorrow.

It looks like one of the main problems with fusion are the materials.

Long-term research and design strategies for fusion energy materials

the materials required for commercially viable fusion power plants do not exist today. […] The challenge of fusion materials is compounded by the fact that design targets are not precisely defined and are rapidly evolving and by a lack of representative testing facilities.

Even if the examples you provided are all -to my understanding- hypotheticals, I appreciate you didn’t talk about money

By 2040, each €1 of public funding for wind generates €7 in annual economic returns,

So the title is a lie, not a fact. It’s an estimation, coming from those who want the funding to increase. Trinomics does also lobbying in the EU. It’s easy to assume that green lobbying is fine because it’s for a good purpose, but it’s worth keeping in mind that lobbying’s purpose is about getting more money, no matter the argument used. So, the reality in the EU about wind turbines is that they are deployed even in Natura 2000 areas (protected biodiversity hotspots), and that’s because companies want to sell more turbines, to make more money.

Please, don’t get me wrong, I’m all in for wind turbines, but only after proper assesments. This is why I strongly believe that we need to shift away from narratives and arguments related to profit, and focus on arguments centered around the intersections of environment, biodiversity, climate etc.

Could you be more specific?

Respectfully, it’s like you are not listening to the arguments you are being provided, which have been repeated to you several times already.

I don’t want to argue on cloudy grounds

Respectfully again, your whole approach is cloudy, or should I better say: all over the place.

Verbally interacting is not only about arguing. It can also be about listening, taking into account what the other person or persons are saying, and reflecting on these inputs.

It looks like the link is missing from this post, so I thought of adding it here for easy access:

Intersectionality as I see it is to normalize using many frames to bring about understanding.

I believe it’s the opposite of that, actually. Intersectionality, casts light upon the area where frames intersect, which was the previously non-visible part.

I thought of adding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) wiki page for easy access to pictures and some more general info

You say you want a conversation with me but you don’t even bother taking into account my suggestion which was actually very simple:

do a search of the word “sexism” and read at least something about it.

Instead, you chose to write this comment. Your approach doesn’t make me want to give you any more of my time at this point. So bye bye for now

If the term “mother earth” is sexist or not is something that depends on the context. Well, imo.

The characteristics you project to motherhood and fatherhood are totally stereotypical.

To me it seems obvious you haven’t spent any time on this topic and I assume that since you like writing, most probably you like reading? If that’s the case, I invite you to use your favorite search engine and start researching this topic. I really hope you’ll enjoy the findings!

Tbh the only thing I got from this text was sexism, not an image

And a relevant article from Carbon Brief:

Clean energy pushes fossil-fuel power into reverse for ‘first time ever’

Renewable energy has overtaken coal to become the world’s largest source of electricity in 2025, according to thinktank Ember.

That sounds like an excellent idea, so on a similar note I could suggest to go to shops that sell clothes for kitchen professionals. I have owned plenty of those, mainly trousers. They are super comfy and they kinda last forever.

I did a little bit of digging on this and if it looks like sand batteries are a subcategory of thermal batteries, which in their turn are part of what is called thermal energy storage . Wiki mentioned something that I found fascinating and that I totally didn’t know:

Thermal batteries are very common, and include such familiar items as a hot water bottle. Early examples of thermal batteries include stone and mud cooking stoves, rocks placed in fires, and kilns.

Try and explain how lobbying currently works then, without including corruption
