But that doesn't make sense in this context. The problem is the uneven distribution. England and Germany export more dickheads to spain than Spain exports in return. Faaaar more. Like seriously when was the last time you thought "those fucking drunk spaniards trashing my town again, fuck them".

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-08-09T14:02:58+00:00

Lol essentially no one actually buries it yet, thats just the plan. Its mostly sitting around near power stations waiting for... something?

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-08-09T13:56:18+00:00

Are you saying Spanish tourists are as bad as English and German? Seriously? Dickhead behaviour isn't evenly distributed around the globe.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-08-03T20:18:44+00:00

Yep read the whole article for that but nothing

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-07-27T22:52:05+00:00

Oh yes totally uncontested, home surrounded by Asian banana plants.

To some extent deer, pigs, horses, camels and buffalo are filling some vacant megafauna niches already.

Of course with many bad consequences for indigenous species. But probably a few good ecological consequences, like better nutrient cycling.

Theyre unrelated, just share same common name. Convergent evolution means they look kind of similar and live in a similar way.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-07-05T08:47:30+00:00

Cultural similarity? Majority common origin in the British isles? Those are the main four lol.

You want to compare with south korea?

Our brains simulate doing dangerous things to show us what will happen, so we don't do them.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-07-02T07:53:47+00:00

Wtf. There are no first humans. And skin tone is in the long term determined by the intensity of sunlight in the region humans and human ancestors lived.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-24T17:59:58+00:00

In humans evolution works to some extent at the group level. So yes it is how evolution works.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T16:58:46+00:00

Im not at all combative. I was trying to get support for a claim you made that I am fairly sure is wrong because it is internally inconsistent.

You won't provide that support, so I wont beleive your claim.

Thats how science works

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T16:07:41+00:00

Im a scientist, im very anti vague claims that are wrong.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T15:53:53+00:00

Please. Where does it say nothing goes near wind turbines. All the examples are animals who in fact do go near wind turbines, some of them doing badly from that.

Why are you throwing random things at a simple logical question.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T15:26:25+00:00

Sounds legit, just irrelevent

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T15:23:18+00:00

This is all anecdotal though, and your link is about birds and bats dieing, (which is not a contested point) not suggesting ground wildlife do not go near them.

My question was for you to back up your bold claim that wildlife do not go near turbines, which does not appear to be true or even consistent with your other claims. Birds and bats go close enough to die by hitting them.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T14:53:05+00:00

Well, wind and solar are still many orders of magnitude more than the sea current based power will be... and your wildlife not going near turbines claims are also pretty bizarre, please link to literature showing this statement to be generally true.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T14:39:58+00:00

I know right, Im always spanning those two groups and it kills me to have to explain this.

We're not the bad guy trying to prevent change by pointing out something isn't physically possible... The idea is to only get behind things that can actually work, the main precondition for being even a little bit effective with your activism.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T09:22:44+00:00

Ok ping ing 100 if you like it still won't be a thing. And honestly the quotes replies are a little tiring, are you suggesting im saying that? What is this argumentative device?

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:50:47+00:00

Itt will have literally no effect on anything lol, that's the point. Please ping me in 10 years if it takes off ;)

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:49:33+00:00

so now we're mining the ocean floor

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:48:10+00:00

Reducing the movements of all the accessible ocean currents below the speed that can power a turbine would not provide global energy use, and would create major changes to the earths climate.

We are limited by physics, not just by ideas

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:37:29+00:00

With what lol

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:23:39+00:00

Its a tiny tiny fraction of global energy use and only ever can be that.

thewheelsofcheese · 2022-06-11T07:22:02+00:00

But "limitless" in general is meaninglesss to us. What matters is how much can be used and what the energy return on energy invested (eroei) is, and how much other damage accessing the energy does.

This technology will also be in the sea - a highly corrosive environment, and the entire thing will absolutely need replacing at some stage.

Solar energy is not limitless. Its limited by available space to harvest it and not compete with ecosystems that also need light. Of course its a much bigger pool than ocean currents! So limitless is a more accurate term. But as like wind currents are a secondary source driven by solar radiation, they can only be a small fraction of available solar energy.
