i love how bsky is full of autodidacts that love to talk trash about autodidacts. i think it's because bsky attracts the ones that know they can't be trusted with their forbidden knowledge.

By 2050: ~1M in construction + 1.8M in power generation.

the fun thing is just letting people build does this just fine!

It's usually not an explicit question. More likely someone immediately starts telling me about why they don't want more housing in *their* neighborhood or unloading their contempt for homeless people, with the implicit question being, "But you still think I'm still a good person, right? Right??"
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.

Right?! Every one-way air conditioner that dies in Texas should get replaced by a two-way heat pump that both heats and cools. Essentially the same equipment and cost as a central air conditioner, but knocking out resistive heating would save tons of money and shave winter demand peaks a lot.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

I don't doubt that blue states are more efficient, but California is low largely because people use fossil gas for space and water heating. Massachusetts too!
California's electricity usage should be HIGHER, but its high prices prevent electrification!

(1/3) Red states appear to intentionally waste electricity by not making efforts to reduce electricity use through better insulation, appliance standards, etc.

wait until everyone hears how many bottles of water are consumed by laser tag
Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.
