Scientists invented fabric that makes
electricity from motion and sunlight.
To create the fabric, researchers at
Georgia Tech wove together solar
cell fibers with materials that generate
power from movement. It could be
used in “tents, curtains, or wearable
garments,” meaning we’d virtually
never be without power. Source
Y'all are fucking idiots. Clean energy will NEVER be enough to replace the energy we have now. We’d have to tear down DOZENS of forests just to fit enough windmills and solar panels to get even a QUARTER (probably less, tbh) of the energy we can produce now.
Yeah, sure, when they’ve already calculated that a few square miles of panels in the empty ass Arizona desert could power the whole nation. But ok, fracking and the diminishing petroleum supply is worlds better.
Nevermind that windmills are often most efficient off the coast. There they take up no land, impact no trees, don’t pollute the water, and are conveniently located where winds are often strongest anyway.
And solar panels can literally be built into roofs of buildings and in empty areas like deserts. The sun strikes the Earth with the same amount of energy in an hour that our civilization uses in a year.
But yeah, it would be impossible for us to ever have enough energy from clean sources.
Durr hurr technology is bad and I would rather light shit on fire than have clean energy
I can also testify to the Arizona desert being empty ass. And the California desert. And the Nevada desert.
The fact that anyone can believe a limited amount of dinosaur oil is more plentiful and efficient than moving air or fucking sunlight is proof that entire populations can be completely brainwashed.
From imdb: ”During the filming of some scenes for The Princess Bride, the weather became markedly cold for Robin Wright Penn. Andre the Giant helped her by placing one of his hands over her head; his hands were so large that one would entirely cover the top of her head, keeping her warm.”
All of the behind the scenes stories about Andre the Giant were adorable like this, Apparently Wallace Shawn is deathly afraid of heights, so he was freaking out while they were doing the scene scaling the cliff and Andre was like “it is okay, I’ll keep you safe.” there’s a behind the scenes thing on the DVD and everyone is choked up and misty eyed when they talk about working with him.
Andre the Giant was a radiant human being.
I’m so glad he gets to go down in history as everyones favorite giant. What a legacy!
Before Lup left to hide the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet, she said goodbye to Barry. Maybe it was something small, a last quiet “I love you” and a kiss on the cheek while he was sleeping. Or maybe it was something bigger: maybe she took pieces of the best day she gave to him and brought them back. Left a fresh-cooked plate of breakfast on the bedside table, intending to be back before it cooled.
I don’t think Taako got a goodbye.
Because Taako - Taako would have known, because Taako knows Lup better than he knows himself. The moment she acted out of the ordinary he would have asked, and Taako doesn’t care about many people, but for the people he loves he would do anything Lup is absolutely at the top of that list and she knows it.
He would have realized it was a goodbye, and he would have tried to stop her. Or worse, he would try to come with her. So she saves her farewell for after she’s gone - and by that point, of course, he does not fare well at all.
walt disney’s decision to give each of the seven dwarves distinct personalities was inspired by the trolls from homestuck, so technically moana wouldnt have existed without andrew hussie
