Healthy optimism

To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

Let's be real here, it's the second one

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven't really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn't be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

Not everything that isn't ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with

Honestly, the best online resource I know of are the 3blue1brown videos on complex numbers

Any tool risks confusing you more, since multiplying in the complex plane can act quite unexpectedly when you move outside the real line for both parameters

Multiplying with q negative does genuinely correspond to a 180° rotation around the origin in the complex plane (plus a scalar multiplication of course)

God I hate untagged YouTube links. You think you're clicking on an image or an article, but nope! And now YouTube thinks you watched a random video and your recommendations get infected with garbage outside of your normally watched channels

Maybe I missed some points by skimming, but the arguments made in that article are that:

• 1 Australian researcher agrees with his stance

• a region had 22% of its power produced by wind at one point

I guess the claim "it can be argued" is technically proven true, but the majority opinion I keep hearing from the electrical grid engineers in the news is the opposite

And, well, sometimes it just simply is night, and sometimes the wind doesn't blow. We don't have the battery tech to run from storage alone

But, honestly why wouldn't we use nuclear? It's the one power source we have without any real downsides untill ITER finally brings positive results
