The sun and wind provides all the energy we’ll ever need. As long as we can achieve a circular battery economy we are good, no fusion required.

I’ve played with enough hockey players to know that our collective way of teaching our sons how to respect women is broken. It is absolutely a culture problem.

Hmm interesting i may do that

100km is a huge ride! Nice work. See anything cool along the way?

A testament to human durability. Thanks for the music Oz.

Best comment I’ve read in a while. Thank you.

Pax 2 user for the past like, 13 years. The button died on my first one a few years ago and I bought an exact replacement. I love it, stuffing in the weed is satisfying and it’s super easy to clean. I despise both capitalism and advertising but this is one of the few products I would fully endorse.

My theory is that driving a vehicle feels the same as waiting in a line/queue, since you’re not doing anything active. So people try and minimize their time “waiting” as much as possible. Even if they’re already traveling at an extreme speed. Basically cars fuck with our brains.

I recently watched this film and loved it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Language_(2024_film)?wprov=sfla1 . Big Wes Anderson vibes with lots of weird surreal comedy, and features lots of good bits of ephemera.

And as steever mentioned earlier, the national film board of Canada is a good start!

God dammit this pisses me off. Ecological regulations need sharp, razor teeth.

Up To Here is one of my all time fav albums, start to finish. Trickle Down is especially enjoyable. Love those guys, great band and Gord was a great poet.

Thanks for the info. The link isnt loading for me, but I hope they are able to leverage renewables to power the desalination, as I’ve heard it is an energy-intensive process.

Several years ago I heads that Capetown South Africa would be the first major city without water…

I love this. It’s so true. I always wondered why people were reluctant to ride a bike because it seemed like “work” or “exercise”. It’s easier than walking, and much faster to boot.

Nice.

I’d say go to a bike shop and try out some e-bikes. Find one that fits and that you enjoy riding, and start taking it for fun rides! I’d highly suggest a rack and some panniers (saddle bags) for carrying stuff - it makes it way easier to run errands and stuff via bike.

20 miles is a big bike commute, and riding on the edge of the highway isn’t super fun. But as others have said, maybe there are alternate routes. A 25 mile route through paths/side streets would be way more enjoyable than a highway shoulder.

Good luck on your biking endeavour! It’s a great addition to life.

There’s a whole genre of music called Psychedelic, with many sub genres.
