Do you feel sad for people born today?

They're participants in the class war on the side of bourgeoisie by virtue of existing and pushing wages down. We need to fight to give kids a world with hope.
wrote last edited by [email protected]What are you on about? Nobody gets to choose to be born or where they are. You can't just say "everyone is burger-z because they exist and that brings wages down." That shit doesnt make any sense. They are children. They dont even have fucken jobs to push wages down with.

if it happened tomorrow
it's happening NOW.
buildout all the grid you can, it won't be enough for everyone, and when it collapses, everyone's fucked.
Is dying your retirement plan
Did your parents have any children that lived? I bet they regret that.

stick your head back in the sand and stop replying if you can't support your argument.

Oh, so it's over a moment from NOW?
Nah, it's slowly and continuously happening. It has been for decades, although with greater rate as we've ignored it.

We'll need X amount of power. If the grid can supply that, we won't directly cook. It's more than now, but not massively more.

No u.

still can't support your argument.

you really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. switzerland, alone, with it's world class infrastructure, is going to have to bring on 40gw of new power:
https://www.myscience.org/news/wire/is_air_conditioning_a_threat_to_the_power_grid-2024-epfl
"The additional demand is impacting local power grids, which were already congested. Existing power lines and transformers weren’t sized for the kind of load they’re now experiencing. Power plants are also under greater pressure as they must supply the additional electricity and keep enough reserves to accommodate the often-unpredictable spikes in demand.
If we want to fill the gap with renewable energy, an estimated 40 GW of additional solar power will be needed to meet Switzerland’s demand for electricity, including electricity for heating systems, cooling systems and electric vehicles. But that will make local power grids even more congested and increase the required reserves."
The need is now, the buildup is going to be expensive, and that's for countries that can afford it. please, shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you're talking about.

So, a timeframe isn't given here, and it's not even clear who's being interviewed (Alain Herzog is the photographer), but it doesn't sound too out there. That's a 200% increase, given Switzerland's current use, and it's specifically renewable capacity to overcome variability. If you provide some kind of V2G or grid storage, or something more responsive like nuclear, that's going to go down, because the figure is essentially what's needed to avoid disruption on a hot day that's also very cloudy.

I really think you’re missing the target entirely.
There’s not a biological imperative for humans to reproduce. It’s pretty egotistical to assume that your species “deserves” to exist. Can you tell me what about our species is so special?
Calling something “a problem,” and failing to articulate on what specifically makes it a problem is MAGA level thinking.
I didn't say anything about deserve, I don't really understand why you have it in quotes.
I thought it was pretty clearly implied the problem was a mental health issue. I'm not a psychiatrist so I'm not qualified to say what the particular mental health issue is any more than I would be able to qualify or runny nose as a cold or allergies or a flu. I just know a symptom when I see it.
A person that wants to determine what species do and do not "deserve" to exist is outside of my pay grade, but clearly unwell.

You sound like MAGA. There is no health issue and you’re not qualified.

You can be living a totally "normal" life while on the cusp of crisis and not realize it. There is no harm in talking to someone about these feelings. I implore you.
With that, you can call me whatever names you want, or talk about how weird or bad or whatever I am... I'm going to bow out here.

You should have bowed out a long time ago; before you were misdiagnosing people.

Will you be telling your kids this? That you created them as a sacrifice for a chance at making life better for other people?
Lmao OK. Life goes on and humans are worth fighting for, no use in whining.

It's not even often to be honest, maybe once every 5 years or so, and that's counting more than just us, I've fixed/rebuilt microwaves for friends and neighbors as well, but definitely not often.
My late father taught me the basics of electronics repair starting at age 10, and once the internet became a semi-common thing (dialup days), I found https://repairfaq.org/ which expanded my knowledge and understanding quite a bit.
My late father was also a bit of a junk hoarder, so back in the day I had plenty of scrap electronics and appliances to practice on..
These days I don't have to use those skills as often as daddy thought I might, but they're still handy skills.
That makes some sense, and sounds like some quality experiences. Thank you for the link, I always get a little excited when I see a website with such a basic look, it usually means they care more about conveying their material than adding extra flair.
