If I recall correctly, Switzerland has a lot of gun control laws that dictate who can own a firearm, when and where the firearm can be used, and ownership requires strict training and licensing that often comes from the compulsory military service that the country requires. All of that would be great to have here in the US since the little tidbit about guns in our rule book mentions a well-regulated militia.
I haven’t been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I’d say it’s fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.
Yeah that’s more regenerate or maybe power word heals territory.
Hey, on the bright side, manpower is manpower.
Golgotha Compendium: Fifth Temple - Eidola
Imagine not living in 616 though.
It’s what plants crave I guess.
I’d be worried about the now excess co2 levels disrupting the normal saturation levels in the groundwater.
These look like they’re taken at different stages in a chicken’s life. The more developed head thingy and size of the bird is because it’s older.
Nothing says punk more than enabling for profit corporations to hold sole ownership of the utilities that we need to continue living in a bare minimum standard of living. /s
Is this referring to Stranger in a Strange Land grok or explicitly caveman grok?
Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it’s usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn’t have to throttle waterways and flood others.
From my understanding, it’s considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it’s easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn’t stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it’s expected life cycle.
Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that’s not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.
Goochland, Virginia is underrepresented here.
I would argue that in this metaphor it’s still more surgical than a bullet but I get what you mean.
If cancer does cancer stuff around my stomach, you shoot my stomach. It’s the only logical answer. /s
Weather watching (not the extreme kind) - I basically note down the current weather and interpret my own forecast then later see if I’m right.
Lockpicking - it’s basically a tiny little puzzle and I can buy different solutions for a few bucks at any store.
Gardening - this is less obscure/quirky and more that I don’t want people to think that I’m bragging about how many tomatoes I have because I will in fact brag about how many tomatoes I have.
The physical battery idea has been a thing for decades in the form of a pump storage plant where during times of excess electricity, they pump water up a hill, and when power is needed it works like a hydroelectric power plant. The problems with these however is that in order to get a meaningful amount of power and longevity, you need a lot of water and space to build one of these which makes them massive and expensive up front. I have one near me, but I also live near one of the biggest lakes in the world, which helps.
