I remember a time during a thanksgiving decades back where the power kept cutting out because there was ice on the lines and it was constantly causing issues. I was younger than ten and it came back on. Sitting in the kitchen I encouraged everyone not to use the power, as we needed to conserve it to cook the turkey. My grandpa scoffed, “no, we need to use the power while we have it”. It took me many years to understand what he meant. I didn’t know power was created on demand and was otherwise wasted. I thought the outlet was some king of unlimited battery for our toys and televisions that never ran low.
But the power that comes to our devices doesn’t come from some battery. It’s created on demand as the network of electricity consumers need it to operate their various appliances and consumer gadgets.
This is the area where the thought of bitcoin miners being wasteful comes about. The public is like my preteen self, thinking the wall is a battery. Not understanding that electricity can only be transported so far, and that because of how it is used and produced, often isn’t produced to the maximum want of the consumer around the clock, but when the operators of the grid estimate the load demand will be at its peak.
Anyways…
It’s telling that solar panel energy is considered unused while people are at work, because we aren’t using our energy efficiently anyways. It should be maximally used while the work day is in session if a work day uses energy. If it doesn’t, perhaps the work day isn’t being used correctly. Can’t even “mind energy is different” me, we have gpt4 now.
Is there an audio chat for nostr like spaces or clubhouses?
Death is the end of an unbroken chain back to the beginning of the first self replicating molecule.
Ages ago I purchased a license to an educational organizing plugin for Wordpress. I wonder if I still have it. Would be nice to organize the educational content on the website and pull it from the blog since it’s not really blog stuff…
Here’s the routine:

I wonder how much superstition about small flying beings is because of poor eyesight.
“I wish I could long press on a pfp to get to a profile, this tapping the picture then tapping go to profile is so tedious, I should mention… try it and see first.
Well I’ll be damned…” #damus
Or I crack a book and find out the uses of all the ornamental plants we are surrounded by.
I think ornamental property plants go away if fiat also does. Eventually.
Goat heads/puncture vibes… stepped on this in the kitchen. I’m kind of tempted to sprout it and grow one of them aeroponically and see what happens. A giant mess I assume. 
Point of sale, piece of shit, same difference?
