Reply to I’m Sammy Roth, an L.A. Times reporter trying to figure out where to put all the solar and wind farms we'll need to fight climate change. Is farmland the answer? AMA! by losangelestimes
What are the best places to put solar panels you've found so far?
Personally I think places like stadium/airport parking lots, large building rooftops like schools or convention centers, and highways in the city would all be good spots to fit a lot in, but I doubt that will meet the need.
Additionally, solar panels have a repair / replacement problem that needs improvement. We can install an old power plant, and its most critical systems don't need service for up to 30 years, whereas solar panels need their critical hardware replaced within 10. What kinds of improvements are being researched to extend the lifetime of solar panels?

Reply to TIL the public library in Aarhus, Denmark has a 25-ft 3-ton bronze bell named 'The Gong' that rings every time a baby is born in the city. It is connected to the maternity ward in the local hospital, where mothers can press a button after giving birth to ring The Gong by ergotpoisoning
Slightly different bell ringing than the undead parish.

"A woman of marriageable age" haha I love it! I can totally see the way it wouldn't feel like home. For me, going into a society like this sounds so appealing it would almost definitely be a one-way trip. Having read accounts from Ben Franklin of people choosing to live with the natives in the wilderness, they mostly wouldn't return, and if forced, would find a way to go back to the natives. Yeah, finding the right words to talk about the different societies is difficult lol. Thanks for the insight!!

Only way to truly beat the market is to have insider knowledge. So many other investors have some, if you're investing without it, you're at a major disadvantage.

Any of y'all played Barotrauma? Explore the oceans of Europa, fight off essentially xenomorphs, and keep it all together with friends!
At any rate I'm very excited to find out whatever we can about Europa!

Bail shouldn't be allowed in a case like this.
