  • That’s what is happening but it not happening fast enough. Batteries are great but unless you build out a LOT of them and combine with intelligent grids and power consumption you aren’t covering the output of a nuclear power plant. If you are decommissioning a nuclear plant then you had better have alternative power available otherwise you end up like Germany who did that and then had pull a lot of power from Frances nuclear excess as well as burning extra gas for power. I like renewables, I have solar + battery at home, I’ve built flow battery models and fuel cells to experiment with. I’ve written software to turn my house (and hopefully include my neighbours soon) into a virtual power plant based on my houses output as well as the wholesale market price. It’s difficult to manage when people expect a light to turn on at any time they want. I just get tired of people saying renewables are the only option and when it inevitably isn’t just yet having to burn more fossil fuels when the existing nuclear plant can continue






  • Im not American so i simply cant relate to the shooting aspect of it although from ive seen are mostly politcal/racial rather than misogynistic. I dont have a great deal of knowledge of it though so happy to admit i could be wrong with it. There are a lot of garbage men out there, no doubt about it. There are also a lot of lost men that fall for the tate type crap. What i really dont get are the conservative women who support it all. Why?

    This has drifted a bit from the original subject and i dont want to end up inadvertantly linking lack of housework to domestic violence! My point is that I think far too many people tolerate but complain about a situation without doing anything to fix it. Obv when it comes to violence it needs ti be viewed through a different lense



  • Some women may believe that changing it is just too much work- it’s not an immutable nor innate property of men that they don’t cook or clean or know anything about the children, but changing that would be an overwhelming amount of work. If the man’s not interested in changing anything, it’s even more daunting, and may damage the relationship

    That’s what I mean though. Why stay or care about damaging the relationship? Sunk cost fallacy. Some times a hard choice needs to be made. This choice should be made before children/mortgages etc. There’s the old stereotype of men enter a relationship thinking the women wont change and women enter a relationship hoping the man will.


  • The thing i don’t get is why do women put up with it?
    I think some of it boils down to different standards, generally the neater/cleaner person will expect the other person to change their behaviour. When I hear people moaning about significant others doing nothing I do think that it takes both people to allow it. Most people will live together for a while before marriage/kids so you have no excuse to complain if you know what they’re like and still marry etc
