  • I heard a bit from a podcast that stuck with me:

    ALL Energy is nuclear energy-

    The sun is a nuclear power source.

    Plants absorb that nuclear energy and whether we eat them, or eat animals that ate them, that is still energy from a nuclear source.

    Some of those plants ended up rotting for millenia underground, and we dig that up, now in the form of coal, oil or natural gasses- then burn it…thats still just nuclear power.

    Even the wind is nuclear power, as is its mostly caused by the uneven heating of the air by the sun, as the earth rotates, leading to the creation of higher and lower pressure areas.

    The podcast (which was about solar energy- i work for a solar panel company, thats why it was on in the work van, lol) went on to say that logically, nuclear, solar, to an extent wind are therefore the best ways to ‘generate/ harvest’ power- everything else is just laundering nuclear energy through an inefficient, and usually destructive battery.


  • Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)

    was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to ‘food porn all the time.’

    'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- “go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration”

    Or “make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn”

    I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
