Well said.
Like the fessor, I have no friends.
I have actively refused to swap phone numbers and attend social events.
I have made my life small.
Partly consciously for political reasons
(I'm an environmentalist)
And partly unconsciously; by character I'm a loner.
I'm an unsociable socialist.

This article is an optimistic view of
The Future of World Energy Supply (2024–2050).
But I find the chart detailing the various types of energy production to be depressing.
I thought solar and wind would grow far quicker than is predicted here.

"Fingerprint unrecognised".
Obviously, the grease we all secrete is necessary to complete the circuit or something like that.
