Try the Big Agnes brand. The Rapide SL comes in 20"x78" and has an R-value of 4.2. There may be others that would suite you as well.

Cleaning large areas or intensive scrubbing is definitely tiring. Vacuum or mop the whole house, or scrub the tub to remove soap scum - it will raise the heart rate and can make the arms tired.

Light duty stuff like dishes, not so much.

I find it to be an excellent tool to help me write. Staring at a blank page is one of the hardest hurdles to overcome. By asking questions to chatGPT, I start organizing my thoughts about what I want to write, and it gives me instant words on the page to start manipulating. I am a subject matter expert on these topics and therefore screen what it gives me for correctness. It's surprisingly good, but it has hallucinated some things. But on the balance I find it very helpful.

I don't understand why they don't keep restrictions as-is and allow Lake Mead and Lake Powell to fill further. We had a good year for precipitation - let's try to pad the future when we have some more dry years, instead of using the water now.

Uh... France has operated their plants in load-following mode. It's doable. Can't control the weather though.

I'm quite familiar with the history. I was quite surprised that they didn't tell the story of tickling the dragon's tail, for example, but I realized that wasn't the point being gone for. As an adult, I do know how to watch and interpret a film, but I am sure your comments are instructive for any children on Lemmy.

Not sure why you felt the need to try to invalidate my own feelings about the film - I wasn't asking for advice about it. I also find it a bit rich that you lecture me about the film when you haven't even watched it yourself.

I just watched Oppenheimer. I went in with no expectations, but a solid grasp of the history (except I did not know Lewis Strauss's role in the clearance hearings, so that was good to learn).

I was deeply moved by the film. I have never conceptualized the person that Robert Oppenheimer was. Being a scientist working in the nuclear industry, I owe him a lot. And I find he was someone to look up to; and I also empathize with him as a person. I'm definitely not as brilliant as he was, but there are parallels between us personally and in our careers to date (albeit on a much smaller scale for me!). I understand the struggles he went through regarding his position on nuclear weapons. I believe he was someone who lived in contradiction (by seeing pros and cons to every stance, moral benefits and burdens) and was ok with living with the controversy internally... Much like quantum mechanics provides in general.

Shit. I work in the nuclear industry and I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for sharing. The mistreatment and sheer disrespect shown to native people by corporations and government is one of the major stains on US history.

I like my tensor insulated as well. Be aware that they do have an issue with the fabric welds failing. Once that starts happening, your pad is screwed. This was an issue with pads circa 2021, not sure if they have fixed it yet.

But I do love the pad while it works...

Wait till you discover rank 4 tensors 🎉

They have been dumb, that's for sure. However, a large part of the reason they were dumb is because of the regulatory process being, well .. stupid. Not engineered well for actually executing projects. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely need regulatory oversight, but it can be done in a more thoughtful way than it is currently.

These floating solar panels though, strike me as a general engineering nightmare.

Yeah, I use Jerboa because it's fine and it's FOSS. No ads, acceptable content management, and frankly, not being really amazingly fine tuned means I don't want to stay on it forever. I would rather send my money to my instance admin to keep the server running.

Just... Freaking... Deploy nuclear plants! We have the tech, we know they work, their footprint is small. Why the frack do we feel the need to chase these ridiculous zany ideas that face obvious fundamental engineering flaws, like, oh I don't know, STORMS and corrosion??? Maintaining these would be a bloody nightmare.

The roads would have gotten buried with snow. One snowy day would do it. By the time they realized it, too late. Those forest service roads are not plowed.

Well, I live in the area, and we always call them bison! Just spreading the word.

Yeah my bad, I will edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out. It is bison. I didn't have coffee when I wrote that comment.

Perhaps you are joking, perhaps not. But there is a saying: "A fed bear is a dead bear". It is really important that bears do not learn to recognize humans as a source of (other) foodstuffs. If they do, that greatly increases the risk of dangerous encounters and unfortunately leads to the need to kill the bear to remove the danger.

Bison, not buffalo. Edit: note this happened outside of YNP actually.

It's mating season for the bison. I'm kind of surprised about the grizzly, since bears are most aggressive during the spring. I hope more details come out.

Fun fact, there is a wilderness area on the southern border of Yellowstone NP called the Winegar Hole wilderness. It doesn't have many trails. Never go there because it is prime bear mating territory!

Lol yep. I live around here and there are a lot of hot springs. This is actually important news - keep us aware and safe. Donno what that poster is smoking...
