@FAIR I'll be damned, just visited your website, and this crap is the top-line entry. "Fans of cluster-bombs", FFS? Could be be more naked? Hell, post a that loving picture of shirtless Putin on horseback while you're at it.

@FAIR Wait, is this actually the real mastodon account of fair.org? Because I had no idea it considered it part of its brief to pick sides in a war of conquest, let alone the aggressor side. I'll be sure to point this out to anyone who mentions you.

@raulclima @reedmideke @supernovae@universeodon.com

Yes. And all that you say speaks to the larger issue of "energy conservation" device choices being a poor substitute for eliminating the device entirely. For example, buying an electric car might be better than buying an ICE car, but an indescribably worse choice than simply reducing the number of cars you have by one, and using transit, bicycles and -- in a pinch -- carshares.

I considered buying an electric car. But given that it takes 30-50K kilometers of driving to offset the embodied energy cost before any net savings are realized, I've decided to see if I can avoid buying _any_ car ever again.

@raulclima @reedmideke @supernovae@universeodon.com Thanks for the clarification. There is of course the minor case where LED's visible-light efficiency makes pure solar-powered lighting installations practical where they were not before. But yes, there do seem to be many new cases of gratuitous or wasteful lighting, which is still a net waste: to say nothing of the additional embodied-energy total-life-cycle costs.

@GlasWolf @ottocrat More like "we were told brexit would only hurt other people, not us". My sympathy is zero.

@raulclima @supernovae@universeodon.com Yes, I do notice it's normal now for the LED lights of newer cars to be at least partly always-on, which certainly speaks to your point.

@raulclima I'm trying to understand your first point: if a 14 watt LED replaces a 60 watt incandescent, is that not an energy savings?

@ottocrat And that's apart from what to me is the much greater contemptogenic factor: the whole "thinking leopards would only eat other people's faces" thing.

@JohnShirley2023 From the only album i ever owned only in 8-track form. As a result it always sounds wrong unstretched.

@mickmeally @chrisschmitz This is what happens when a Russian pilot doesn't get his three morning vodkas: too tense on the stick.

@chrisschmitz It looks like running into the pole damaged the main rotor, which in turn trashed the tail rotor causing it to shred the tail. Nice work.

@glitzersachen @JohnShirley2023 Dont't forget "make an accusatory youtube video that will get me millions of paranoid followers." Honestly, nothing is more readily formulized than rabble-rousing lunacy.

@Free_Press Do you have a link?

@BlueWaver22 @JohnShirley2023 Take it from a Portlander. The police can be profoundly unrepresentative of a municipality.
