The news requires we be upset. That’s where the money is.
Good things are happening around me all the time. I try to stay in the present (though sometimes I do dwell on my future too much.)
- Comment on [DW Planet A] Why people want to put small nuclear reactors everywhere (13:04) 1 week ago:
Including a small compact neighborhood uranium mine.

Can you tell me what city this is? For me this would be reason enough to move.
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
That is great! Thanks for all you do for others.

I don’t know where you are located. I am in the US and a co-op is just a corporation so all the things that apply to a private corporation apply to a co-op. When applying for grants there are no differentiators that I can think of. One advantage for a co-op here is that there are no passive investors.

This is kinda off the subject but do you live this life? Would you like to code something for no money that would help people?
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
To me the opposite appears true. Beyond economy -of-scale can you give me some examples?
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
That’s a much higher percentage than I expected.
Benevolent capital is out there, especially in the startup phase. I find it arrogant and ignorant, but available. It does require risk-sharing which I find doesn’t fit the vision of the borrower.

I’m a better bookkeeper than I am a coder. I would join.
So many roles can be fractionalized that it seems doable.
Strategic leadership and consensus might be difficult. Design by committee could be the biggest enemy.

What can be done to change this?
I think a lot of people need someone to blame for their own unhappiness, too. I would like to see this change, but I am not sure how it can be done.

So what I am now hearing is it is hard for them to get seed money.

You are the hero we need

So you are saying employees in employee owned companies are rent seeking social parasites?
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
Beyond just game studios, why aren’t there more employee owned companies?
When Starbucks was unionizing I made the comment that if I were the corporation I would just get out and let the employees run it. I got flamed for this attitude. What is so terrible about employee owned companies?
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 week ago:
I don’t understand why individuals are so set on centralized generation. We suddenly have the capabilities to decentralize generation and greatly reduce the need for the grid. I think it is worth it for the aesthetic advantages alone.
- Comment on Biden Reschedules Weed (Finally!) 1 week ago:
So that big pharma can get a piece of the action.
- Comment on How Bad Is A.I. for the Climate? Tech giants are building power-hungry data centers to run their artificial intelligence tools. The costs of that demand surge are becoming clearer. 1 week ago:
I wonder how much energy is used for doom scrolling.
- Comment on A company is building a giant compressed-air battery in the Australian outback 1 week ago:
Seems like adding thermal solar to this would be beneficial.
- Comment on How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food? 1 week ago:
I had a friend that was very good at it.
Get in and get out. Dont hang around. Don’t hesitate.
He said he thought it was like fishing in that you just didn’t know what you were going to get.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Rather than fission power choose fusion power delivered wirelessly to you house. Our space based fusion reactor can provide you with clean, reliable and inexpensive power today.
Your friends at fusion electric
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
It centralizes power and money.
- Comment on What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ? 2 weeks ago:
Treble is high frequency so clicks are more pronounced, snare drums become more sharp etc.
- Comment on The fishy death of Red Lobster 2 weeks ago:
Corrupt board and uncovered undelivered shorting would be my guess.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 2 weeks ago:
It wasn’t in the same form when it came out.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 2 weeks ago:
The places where that is done don’t have a great track record.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 2 weeks ago:
And uranium mines. Nuclear is an energy transport medium rather than a source. You have large dirty dangerous destructive mining.
- Comment on Does YouTube Shorts resemble Tiktok? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t have tiktok so I don’t know. I am pretty happy with my YouTube shorts feed. I feel like I have learned a lot from it, but I can’t remember what.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I how about not from government but rather a private consumers union. A Costco model. Every member pays the monthly dues and is entitled to housing, food, medicine, internet. This gets you around a lot of the government corruption and protectionism and enables you to turn faster.
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 2 months ago:
The “zones” should have lower speed limits. That is a traffic engineering problem.
The need for the opt in process is to counter the (stupid) arguments of I need to be able to drive fast to get my grandma to the hospital.
You don’t need “tactal feedback.” You need to limit the speed of the vehicle, like a rev limiter. Why do you need the ability to break the law?
