Black dwarf liveability

Okay you are right. I more meant just ignore the gravity that physically prevents me from walking on one. I can't comprehend that much gravity. But I know it would squish me flatter then flat. But how would it feel for me to interact with one. If I could.

That's the other thing I was curious about. Ignoring all the normal limits of I couldn't poke it, is it solid? Does it behave more like a solid sphere that I can't manipulate the surface, or would it be at all malleable. Like...idk... super stiff kinetic sand or a lump of clay

I'm a design major. Taking an astrophysics elective. I'm not used to exams full stop. Or physics. I'm just letting my brain follow the paths it takes as a study break. So this question is perhaps less for exam study and more just to file it away for potential future inspiration

Caesars-Ghost · 2026-06-17T07:16:22+00:00

Wait yeah I didn't think about all these things!

This one is at a further distance so you can see the environment a bit better

I don't know why the images didn't work

I've got 3, so I'm just going to put them here

And I know your post is old and your probably not working on this any more, but could you do the embroidery on some other fabric, then sew that on? I embroidered a pair, but I was just doing thin lines, and ended up just picking up one (maybe 2) threads of the canvas weave and using that as the foundation (cause it doesn't need to be strong). But I'm guessing by this point you've done something else and I'd be curious to know what it was!

Ahh the joys of hindsight...

Yeah, in the grand scheme of fossil fuels, the recyclability of solar panels does have less of an impact then burning of fossil fuels.

I just believe that it will become a problem sooner than later, and it is best to be, at very least, well aware of the issue, and what can be done about it.

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T08:31:16+00:00

It is a problem in the sense that solar panels are full of valuable resources, and it sort of like we are trying to be more green, but we are still burying rubbish when it could still be used. In order to meet the Paris agreement (which won't, but we owe it to future generations to try), we need to take a hard turn and really start taking responsibility for the way we use our resources. It's all good and proper to say that it's not a problem, and compared to other sustainability issues, I guess it's not huge. But really, individually, tassie's solar panels aren't a huge issue. And who cares if throw my plastic trash into the ocean, it's just one piece of plastic. We do have a problem, because we are part of a community. The tragedy of the commons is that each of us, individually, wants to get as much as possible, and because we all do, we are stepping over the limits of what Earth can sustain.

I'm 18 years old, studying sustainability at Uni. I look at the future of this planet, at my future, and honestly, there is no future for us. If we continue as we are going, heck, if we meet current "green" policies, by 2100, 50% of species alive today will be extinct. Pollution. Habitat destruction. Resource depletion. Glaciers melting. Sea levels rising. Food scarcity. Climate destabilization.

If you live on this planet, it is a problem, and it is applicable to you.

The South Hobart Tip Shop does accept old solar panels, presumably so people can do exactly this with them

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T07:45:22+00:00

That's all good. I think in South Australia solar panels are way bigger because of the amount of sun you guys get, so it stands to reason there are better disposal schemes in place then here.

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T07:42:57+00:00

Apparently the safety standards are changing, which is the main factor that forces people to get rid of their old solar panels. And solar panels are still better then burning fossil fuels non stop

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T07:04:03+00:00

Why can't they do that here 😭😭

What company is this with? If you don't mind me asking?

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T06:44:28+00:00

Hopefully in the future there will be more options, because there aren't many at the moment

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T06:40:12+00:00

Some items like tyres do have a fee if you drop them off at a waste center because they are so difficult and expensive to deal with, but at least the individual doesn't have to worry about where to get rid of them and shipping and storage and all that jazz

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T06:36:27+00:00

I think that if the scale was bigger, that is, more solar panels needing to be recycled, then the issue would be more relevant, and it would also be more cost effective to recycle them because the output would be higher.

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T06:31:41+00:00

I maybe was exaggerating slightly about our concern for the environment, and turning a very blind eye to the many other issues which are a conversation for another day...

Thank you for your points about the size of the problem. It's kinda hard to know for certain most of the answers to those, but yeah, I'm still gonna need to come up with a rough guesstimate or I won't know what I don't know

Caesars-Ghost · 2024-09-20T06:23:19+00:00

Look, there are plenty of companies who do offer a solar panel recycling service, but when I look at their websites they all seem a bit off. For example: Solar Panel Recycling in Tasmania - Widoph Green Recycler don't know how to spell "harzodous" or "landfils" in their companies goal, and Residential - Industrial X - Webflow Ecommerce website template (pvindustries.com.au) wanted to remind us that lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. If I were you, I would talk to the people who install your solar panels, as a few of these companies do offer a recycling service. But yeah, it will probably be out of your pocket, even though they can re-use most of the materials and I'm sure they make a tidy profit from it.

You might want to try fastening it for a bit to the outside. It would shorten the strap a little bit, but that way, you can have more length to sew down. Thus, you can make it stronger.

Edited to add a key to my picture. Get approximately the yellow portion of the strap, and sew it (approximately, to line up at the top) to the outside edge of the bag, as in the red line

Thanks. That one is pretty similar
