I’d have stuck with the liberal arts school. They provide more personal instruction and a broader background to students. And that’s why I switched from teaching at a large state institution to a smaller university myself in my career as an instructor.

I've been looking back at some of the Pit's artwork recently. Amazing stuff.
There is a vapid TV show called "The View" or something like it and they are really going after R Kelly, like he was a strait white male or something.
First they went through a shock/horror/gasp at his sins then they were making fun of him. Then they had two of his young current girlfriends on (they both live with him I understand) talking about how much they love him and bla bla bla.
*shrug*
It looks like he is going down. Not as fast as a $2.00 crack ho, but good enough for government work.

The Conversation closes off comments on some recent articles after about six people respond to each.
So much for research and/or opinion being open to challenge and debate. But these are protected classes of research and opinion. The Conversation, my arse. More like the Democratic Peoples Republic of Truth.

Yeah, I've had relatively tepid comments deleted by moderators if it slightly pushed back too.

I remember talking to a conference of highly sceptical farmers in Echuca about climate change (back in about 2010) and having them trying to drive bulldozers through what I was saying. In response to a challenge about the data and analysis I talked about the bear pit that is scientific debate. It seems that the bear pit has been swapped for the ball pit.
I don't have a problem with nuclear power per se. The meltdown and waste transport and storage issues have given it bad press, so much so that in the market for solutions it might be betamax to renewables VHS. It will take a lot of energy to over that particular inertia, although IV Gen thorium reactors do look to be the way forward (use "waste" as fuel, non fissile products etc). One downside that isn't really discussed, is that when you reduce the half life of existing waste it appears that you increase its potency.
I think that he assumes that centralised and corpratised power generation will continue to be the model for energy supply and distribution. This is his biggest mistake because renewables are disruptive, through allowing the hoi polloi to generate their own electricity and potentially be suppliers to the market, and allowing small scale and localised distribution. People make a similar mistake when talking about how coal is needed to provide electricity to all the poor people in India. That might work if the majority of the poor (hundreds of millions) actually had access to transmission wires. But they don't, and most of the increase in electrical generation is going to (polluting) industrial plants. Renewables (not just solar and wind) allow for them to have electricity without the investment needed to connect them up to centralised power plants.
See my comments submitted to that piece. The author is a notorious crackpot and the article is a load of horseshit.
Speaking of horse shit, have you thought of running your sawdust, bedding straw, and manure through a gasifier to produce syngas and biochar? Run the syngas through a generator to produce electricity and use the biochar in the bedding to reduce ammonia levels in the stalls (and for soil productivity improvement, carbon sequestration, water filtration, etc)?

I would, but my house doesn't have a cellar.
Not a digester. Thermal processing - syngas is H2 + CO, not CH4
Thought about moving there, but access in the winter is by ice road over Lake Superior. In warmer winters it can be cut off for long periods. The houses were a bit out of our budget and we decided to stay where we are for now.
I did mean the nuclear power stuff mostly. I do think solar has a place.
I worry a lot about decentralising power distribution. We're already seeing a divide forming in the ACT that I find troubling. Anyone with money can afford to put panels on their roof, and they are strong incentives to do so. Those who can't afford to do so will, necessarily, continue to rely on centralised power sources. We're effectively setting up a system where we pay rich people and tax poor people when it comes to electricity. It gets worse the more well off people take up panels, as the number of people who support the centralised system decreases.
I don't see a way out of that problem without continued support for a viable baseload power source, and that implies nuclear to me.

I have it from reliable sources that some bears, while technically still shitting in the woods shit in special rooms in cabins in the woods that have pipes that take the bear waste away from the cabin in to a type of digester. Some of the problem is that these days their diet of hikers and joggers has a lot of skin that has plastics and poly fabrics that has been plugging their waste infrastructure.
Please, encourage hikers to wear more environmentally friendly clothing in areas where they have a chance at being eaten by wildlife.
:D

I favor phasing out nuclear by EoL-ing existing plants while not building any new ones.
The solar mortgage concept makes home PVs accessible to everyone. No initial investment, you simply pay a monthly mortgage = your average monthly power bill. No pain.
So finally after all the R Kelly stuff keeps hitting the media about sex tape(s) I decide to head on over to pornhub because if there really are "tapes" that is one place they are going to wind up.
There I discover that one of the videos purporting to be one of his I discover it is a pissing video. That is not my thing at all but I do do another search and discover that back in 2015 Chappelle did a parody of Kelly so I infer that he was well known for this.
I am sure though that Greta might have a few words about women being used as toilets. Then it occurs to me that based on what we already know about the baboons, that they tend to project their sins to other people that there is no point in asking her.
Do I really want to know? Not really. However, there is no way I am going to be surprised whatever the future reveals.

No,no, the pope shits in the woods, wearing white, next to the tree that falls, making no sound, while the chicken with no lips crosses the road to watch.

Come on, Vicky Caramel invented the thorium-molten salt reactor since then and everything has changed.
Interesting how immediately prior to flouncing, Vicky was simultaneously insisting on the existence of thorium reactors while denying the existence of the gas chambers.
Makes me start to wonder if the Sherman wasn't that bad, after all.

The big news in my city today..... Some cops got in trouble for taking snacks from the Fire Station that were reserved for the firefighters. A full investigation was done.... haha. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/20- ... ood-pantry
Breaking news. Jussie Smollet arrested for telling a trump to police.
I wonder if he has any regrets? That's a lotta felony goin' on.
That nigger faggot is in some big trouble. 16 additional felony charges from a grand jury on top of the felony the district attorney already charge him with. You do not get out of this much trouble without doing some time in the pen. No hard feelings to him... oh... wait... yes... I do have hard feelings and I hope he has to give many Bubbas a BS in the clink. Fuck this guy. :clap:
