It’s important to focus on the basic things. We live in a world where people don’t clean up after themselves that the entire problem on every level. I’m just trying to lighten a moment

Also solidarity to all in the struggle. I Love Chicago.

It’s so funny to me to have people from Chicago saying that Portland is being weird for the way that it’s doing protest. PDX learned street theater from the people who came from Chicago in the 60s. Chicago was where Yippie! Elected a pig for president.

Of course:

dotF = aEcook - sum(bi * (kpi(F - Fref) + kdi*dotF))

Stability comes from the combined feedback of all housemates, not just one! 😝

No no I am the least math educated in the house. Just a baby modler.

Nature deals with this by “balancing loads”

I don’t have specific advice other than self blaming about being inefficient might actually take you in the wrong direction. We are also in a system actively harvesting power from us so a lot of the inefficiencies what’s being taken from us

Build Soil, Collect Water, Emerge from the Ashes. @buildsoil.bsky.social · 3d

The diagrams on the far left are pulley systems showing that when efficiency is 100% nothing happens, when efficiency is 0% nothing happens and when efficiency is at 50% the most energy flow happens

The way that industrialists and others deal with that is the externalized the cost to us and make us have to be extra efficient so that they can harvest the power from us

In actual real life though, Work takes energy and the efficiency actually goes down as the power goes up

1 1

Build Soil, Collect Water, Emerge from the Ashes. @buildsoil.bsky.social · 3d

All work processes take something in and put something out and efficiency is the amount you get out for how much you put in and industrialit’s and other others have made that the model because that’s how you feed profit

Good to have the context I am actually dealing with similar and this is what has popped in my head. We can talk about what that actually means on the ground which is that efficiency the way that I’m talking about it has to do with input versus output

I’m not trying to be trite also it could come across that way we can talk in private as

So maybe your problem is that you’re too efficient and keep trying to be. I’m learning that I definitely have that problem

Luckily in nature max power meaning energy per time flows at 50% efficiency. As you get more or less efficient than that you reduce the overall power flow

Too much is forced on us and we put too much expectation on ourselves and we have made everything personal problem rather than making life easier
