I worked for an engineering firm that specialized in utilities. I got to have a tour at a coal-fired electric plant. How they work is shockingly complex and at a scale that is hard to grasp. It took hours to see and walk from the coal coming in by train all the way to the towers where water condensate reclaimed from the steam turbine was cooled for reuse. In between the coal is crushed, powdered, blown into a giant furnace, the exhaust is filtered with miles (literally) of fabric that gets washed, the water is boiled and pressurized into a turbine. They burned a half-mile of coal train every day.

Solar plant: the sun shines on there and electricity comes out of the wires in the back.

Solar beating coal? Yeah. If course it does.

A recent mental journey (Pub Quiz > Nixon Founded the EPA > Wikipedia EPA) resulted in me reading all about the Love Canal disaster which predated/precipitated both the EPA and the superfund list, which made me look up what fly ash was: coal combustion products, which lead me down a coal rabbit hole. I don't know what I expected but the more I learn about coal, the less I like. I cheer its decline.

Photograph of a single yellow slip-on shoe against a neutral background; it's patterned with a very plausible series of dark brown spots arrayed in roughly linear patterns like a banana peel, and both the front (behind the toe, where the tongue would be) and heel have pieces curling off, the heel showing pale yellow silk "flesh" below.

Something got in there, and then you opened the slots all the way through, for future cleaning. The knife handles hold them from falling through, anyway. Plus, with universal open slots you can get more tools in there.

A dark mountain range under a deep blue starry night sky. Above the mountains is a light scattering of blue clouds. Hovering above one of the mountain peaks is a reddish object that looks like the location pin in Google maps. In the sky to the right is a white crescent moon. Below is a triangular cave in the mountain side, yellow light spilling out of the opening. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Nice little shop in Midland, Ontario that sells about a dozen different strains of catnip, plus necessary gimmick accessories like cat sunglasses and motorcycle helmets.

Picked up some "AKAT-47" and "Fake Mews" for our cat Ludwig to try, because the "Purrcatory" and "Fuzz Aldrin" were all sold out.

Seeing videos of these big bees is really amazing. They can grow up to 4cm/1.575 in in length.

Went out of town last weekend and got screwed over by a hotel and had to scramble to find another option. Ended up at a B&B run by a couple. The husband was super into bees, so the entire yard was a pollinator garden, and he had his hives out back. Turns out the county fair was also happening and he was president of the beekeepers club so we got to see them in action at the fair.

Anyways...bees are great. We need more of them and need to protect the ones we have better. Goal is to get more flowers in the yard next year.

Oh...also the advice I got: Do not clean up your garden in the fall. Apparently a lot of bees rely on the dead plants over the winter (at least in our PNW climate). Also a great excuse to do less yardwork!

New to me internet radio station: https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip

An eclectic mix of music, some French. Mostly not sounds I'd normally be exposed to. Already found some gold nuggets.

This is of course another party I am very late to since FIP has been doing its thing since 1971:

I'm another recent convert to FIP, found them from a recent Metafilter post. I go back and forth between the Cultes, Pop, and main FIP stations generally but they're all great.

It's been nice to listen to a curated mixtape instead of some algorithmic shuffle. Sometimes you can tell there's a theme, like the other day when there was a streak of playing something from the 70s followed by modern songs that sampled it.
