And that Wilhelm guy has the most off-screen deaths… probably…

Or from Indian police men and start slapping them with sticks.

That’s also true. If I remember correctly, when I was in Sweden 10 years ago, there were such refill stations in a normal supermarket. So it’s definitely possible for certain products!

I once bought something at one of these stores. Was in need for a specific kind of sugar for a recipe and they had it. Honestly it’s probably mostly failing on price point and convenience, because a) most of the products they sell are organic and high quality; so more expensive and b) you have to know what you want to buy beforehand so you can bring your own containers… Also the store was in an awkward location and not well advertised.

Israel has some launch capability, though they have to launch retrograde and don’t have that much payload capacity to LEO because of it.

And would you look at all that beautiful whitespace!

Honestly, a crossover between Project: Hail Mary and X4: Foundations would be rad!

Yeah a real shame with channels like smarter everyday. Although for some there may be a way back the way things are going in the US, if they have at least a little bit of empathy and intelligence that is.

Did a back-of-the-envelope calculation… these panels look too be about 40x40cm. With solar having a typical peak power of about 200W per m² you’d need about 300 of them for a 10KW peak home solar array (then you’d also need to hook up all the 300 batteries to have power through the night and not live in the US, where houses typically use way more power). Hypothetically of course…

I dunno. Probably lots of lead poisoning, micro plastics crossing the blood-brain-barrier, other harmful stuff in our city-atmospheres and of course social media (for “old” folks facebook, for young people Instagram and tiktok). All of has fried our collective brains and tendencies for what you described increase because of it. But maybe that’s just an excuse to ascribe what’s wrong with people to something external.

It’s Microslop now
