Y'all really choose hard mode for switching over. Having Windows on a partition sure is nice when a software requires it and wine doesn't support it.
Heck yeah!
Wow reading about pensions my mind just assumed you were properly old. YOU ARE ONLY 38?! Congrats on the financial stability!
I also have moved around a lot, mostly for work, all exciting opportunities. The first few years going home feels like nothing ever changes but I recently went to my home town for a wedding and saw some friends for the first time in 15 years. Wow did the passage of time hit me like a truck. The years add up.
I was in the mountains hiking with an 85 and 82 year old a few weekends ago. They crushed. We may be older but we are still a lot closer to 18 than 85.
Ha, I have a few of those myself
Woah I never recognized your username in the wild before. Thanks for giving us Lemmy. Huge fan.
My friend was working on a start-up for marine carbon capture. I have a lot of friends moving to green energy and related fields. It's promising to see.
And we will be earlier adopters than our children. Yeah that's very cool of your mom... and Jimmy Carter :)
Very much agree that moving away from fossil fuels is most important. Given how long these large scale technologies take to develop, I'm glad that we are working on this tech now, even though these exact plants are not producing a net benefit.
And it's thanks to earlier adopters, like your mom, that helped fund the technology that we have such great green energy tech today.
This article shows it pretty well : https://decarbonization.visualcapitalist.com/the-cheapest-sources-of-electricity-in-the-us/
The top graph shows that wind and solar are some of the cheapest electricity options available, even compared to fossil fuels.
On the bottom graphs shows that if wind and solar technology had stayed at 2009 levels (more than a decade ago to your point), they would be among the most expensive.
So thank your mom for me.
That's fair. I have my work always pulling me back to Linux so my motivation was different.
