Oh dont I know it.

Peter Mayhew was on there for a long, long time. Warwick Davies too. Rick Astley had been lured there in the past for AMAs iirc…

Are you talking to someone professional? Thats quite some post. Concerning.

Neither did Twitter and Reddit in the beginning. And I dont see them adverting on telly, etc.

I dont think being political or left leaning is a bad thing tbh. I consider myself from a centre-right background/family but these lot have welcomed me in, largely. 😄 I’ve not had any issues with mods or admin here, though I did on Reddit.

Musician here…

…I tell people to download both the mp3 and the wavefiles from Bandcamp. Sometimes Soundcloud has a download option (depends on the artist). I still buy CDs where I can.

I was telling people to try music on spotify and youtube, and then buy it on bandcamp etc. Download a copy. There sometimes comes a time when labels crumble, or streaming sites go bankrupt.

I suppose I’m a “content creator”. I write music.

I WISH all my recording gear was free. Fucking hell. The amount of money I’ve wasted in the last 30 years… sheesh.

Who have stolen land, drilled under people’s own land to access their oil, drilled into other countries without permission (eg Russian firms). They’ve also hidden data about environmental damage since the 1960s including CO2 evidence. Worse than tobacco.

Yeah there are problems with battery and EV materials and their links to all kinds of nasty things. However, lets not forget how bad other industries have been (even recently) for slavery… the cotton industry, the soft drinks indusrty, even the plastics recycling industry.

And OK, lithium is a problem, but there are other ways to store energy that arent being used. We need to stop expecting a perfect solution to everything and just start using sand batteries, compressed air etc, things where we do already have engineers that can accomplish something.

The Far Side also did a comic on this where the old gal was stuffing her turkey (with sage). 😂

Because this summary is pretty good still. Its enough that people might want to delve deeper into the guys other videos.

The guy who made it is a former TV documentary maker. His channel is amazing.

I remember being there in 2013 and the rivers and streams were all dried up. They were quite worried about farming.

Its how you use it. 😉

I have a small unit too, but we’re the rare ones. “Nobody” means “majority” here or do I really have to be literal wth everyone on the internet???

I am already paying for water - through my water bill. I have a right to as clear a water as possible. And fluoride is technically a sterilising agent - fluorine and chlorine are right next to each other in the periodic table.

😂

Perfect place for it too. All those grapes will be sour.
