As a renter who has had roommates, my immediate thought was this was between the two bears. Then I thought harder and I think it makes sense, but any roommate folks will probably struggle. Anyway, I just installed a new thermostat and have had pretty reliable heat. No ore battles for me!

nice strip

Indeed.

The comics of insanity!

This is crazy. Did they not attempt to interview administration officials? That’s bad. If they did attempt to, they could say they refused to respond. But all we have is this piece of garbage explanation. That’s bad.

I’ve always made the argument that if you stub your toe and say the f word, what will you say when you cut your toe off? Shit!

What is facewashing?

Unless things have changed, Ironfox is for mobile only.

It’s true that annular may not be as exciting as total, but still pretty neat. If either one ever happens close enough for you to see I hope you can make it! Totally worth it.

Total and annular are two different things, save your eyes 🙂

Wow, seeing this collage the first thing that came to mind was a Jamiroquai video, and the only video from this picture referenced is this new-to-me group. So fitting. Thanks!

Thank you! I work on rangelands, so having good info makes a big difference when I speak with these folks. I can’t use the sheep examples because we all know it may not be relevant.

I’ll get to reading.

sheep are the easiest to graze under common panels

These are the studies I have read, but cattle are what exist right outside of town. We have a lot of sheep, too, but not where the panels would go. I would like to find a study about cattle, if you have one to share, that would be great!

Form a local power coop with your neighbors or village, and you might be able to make sure that grocer never loses power again

That is essentially what our power coop has proposed. I think they are talking about solar only, but it hasn’t been popular with the ranchers 🙁️ It was just this year, so I think it will gain traction over time. This climate is complicated with regard to the shade from panels but the studies about solar panels in ranch land are good and I think it will happen, we just need more town folks to show up to the meetings. The grocer incident will be, I think, a game changer. The ranchers depend on that store also.

In the last few years, one of these has gone up adjacent to a new solar installation somewhat close to my area. I wish I heard more about them (especially this one I have seen) but I mostly hear about hydropower since that is the primary source we have. I live really far away from any power source and our local power coop has discussed possibly putting one closer to town but nothing has come of it. I think it could be great but am not sure how these things work in a supplementary capacity. Last year our grocer lost many products due to a fire two hours away causing a lengthy power interruption. I think these things could be great for local power but my view is from a rural western US standpoint and probably won’t apply to many places.

But we still get polluted together like a fucking survey
