Hey, thanks. I may have to reevaluate my microwave usage.

I don’t feel like I met her. I feel like she drove by in a car at 100 km/hr.

Interesting. I never considered the height of them. I’ll have to dig into that.

Partially. The wind dies down to almost nothing at night so a long night means a longer time with no wind production.

Yeah, but the wind dies away at night.

Very helpful. I’m surprised by Canada at 64 %. We have such short days in winter when we need the electricity the most that solar and wind don’t produce that much.

In actual production of renewable energy, the order is 1. China 2. U.S. 3. Brazil 4. Canada 5. India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_renewable_electricity_production

I hear Cuba is looking for some.

The cannon balls did minimal damage. It was the chain between them that was supposed to kill and maim.

lol

Very interesting, especially the part about agency. I lived in a country that was very repressed, that the vast majority of the population felt there was nothing they could do to change their plight. It affected their mindset and culture in profound ways.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean in heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5: 1 - 10

What stopped people from snatching them up and eating them?

True Christianity is beautiful. It’s what people have done with it that have made it otherwise. Read the teachings of Jesus.

Here it is. I don’t see anything racist in it.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

That could work. I especially like that it doesn’t start over again like the 12 hour clock.

You’ll have to take that up with Julius depending, of course, if you’re going to the same place he is.

You don’t need to adjust for calendar drift if you start the year on a soltice.

Because I could. Because we are in the month of choices. (I was trying to be funny. Obviously not succeeding.)

Oh yeah. Didn’t notice the “starting in March” part.
