ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

Yeah, the most important learning goal I have for my students when teaching calculus is learning how to communicate your ideas to others; otherwise the math is kind of pointless.

Okay, but what if as a treat, we made it so that solar noon was always actual noon in every locality. We have the technology now, and I think life is too short for time zones. We could even have it so that six am was sunrise and six pm was sunset, there's no need for standard length hours.

Wikipedia uses symmetric set: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetr..., but I have always used the phrase closed under inverses.

![policy incentives for solar PV in Sweden [53]. As a result, in these countries except for Japan, the area on the golf courses would be sufficient for the less prioritized technology but not for the prioritized one. By contrast, in countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan or Australia, the capacity forecasts up to 2028 and beyond could comfortably be achieved with an area equivalent to the golf course land.
Discussion
This study does not advocate that golf courses should be completely replaced but is intended to provide a perspective on how much renewable energy systems could be installed on a comparable area. It is also important to note that the energy use on golf courses in the United States has decreased since the early 2000s, in particular due to the reduction of the maintained turfgrass acreage and the increased use of clean energy sources [54, 55]. Furthermore, some golf courses are located in the](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreialawkdmvjprcd2xyurlxvfc2fnxigzhk7n2sy5kv4n5fftgelw4m@jpeg)

"I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS
I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.
I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.
