The change in solar since 2020 is insane. And extremely encouraging.
In 2020 wind and solar were essentially the same? Why did wind not do the same explosion? I assume bc solar costs are continuing to drop quickly?
Now- in 5 years we need to see gas and coal decline. A lot. Will it happen?

Except for one. I was not on the committee. I was a postdoc at the time. The candidate made up data. Everyone knew it. They still passed. The most uncomfortable defense I have ever sat in on.

Shouldn’t it be as simple as the committee asking questions? Every dissertation committee I have been on leads to a long, fascinating discussion because the candidate did novel work and could talk about it forever and receive any question from the audience with ease. They are the expert.

You are a bad ass. I am sorry shit has been so hard.
Different issue. I am having a fluid mechanics issue that I cannot visualize related to dive medicine. 😜
Is saturated N2 in serum/blood a fluid that exerts pressure. Particularly in the context of saturating into bone.
I need your brain.

Which was worse: Pinto or Corvair? My dad, post divorce from mom, had a Corvair. Was this somehow a flex with the ladies??
In Colorado- as a 7 year old I knew it was dangerous as shit in the snow.
But- explosions are pretty bad.

Gotcha. You know math. Baking + math is kinda attractive. But I am a weird nerd. And a tad buzzed after a bluegrass evening. 😬

My favorite brew pub- I have been frequenting for decade+ (always spectacular bar tenders) had a system like that. But, they expanded the bar. Now everything is printed, and I am fine with that.
If they had put it on a TV screen, these screens would have been mysteriously disintegrated regularly. 😜

Ya. And a brew pub only having their beers on a TV screen, particularly if the screen is rotating through the menus, is also punishable by ☠️
I want to hold a menu. Yes, I am old. And talk louder. 😜

I think we have become a society where the privileged have isolated themselves so much that they are truly disconnected from reality.

A 6% absolute decline starting at 42%, is relatively much bigger than starting at 55%, for example.
