Now that’s some nonsense, my mate’s kid still uses his, and he’s like 10

Yeah, that’s a low blow. Not a Walkman, not just a portable Cd player, a bloody mp3 cd with a remote on the headphones from 2002. Who are you calling old, eh? Kids these days have no respect

Because you could hardly walk, let alone run with one if you actually wanted to enjoy the music

Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.

I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something

No, fuck off, how very dare you suggest such a thing you horrid bastard you, just you wait, I’m going to punch you in the elbow and knock over your second-favourite house plant for insinuating such lies

Ha, no, just verbose

Wow. That’s a staggeringly apt update

I reckon we’d be doing even better if it was total renewables, we lean toward wind power more than most, what with being an island and all

I’m pretty impressed, considering both our land area and population, there’s about 40x more space in the us and another 240,000 or so people. China and the US are 3rd and 4th largest respectively in terms of land, 2nd and 3rd in population and 2nd and 1st by GDP

We’re 80th and 22nd in area and people, and while we’re 6th in global GDP, that’s still 1/10th of the US’s.
I’d like the square to be bigger, but the graphic would look a lot different if it was total renewable power, renewable as a percentage of total power, or even simply wind, as being an island we lean toward wind far more than China and the US. Maybe OP can give us those statistics as graphics?

Before “blowing up” meant trending on Xitter

Serbia has joined the chat…

I have one that’s preeeety close to stealing stuff from Star Wars, with the baddie, Phantor Gorth, occasionally turning up looking mighty like Darth Vader.

Terran Trade Authority?

I did not have that on my bingo card

Yeah, I really enjoy Mastodon, this news sucks. Got any recommendations on what I might replace it with for iOS?

It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date

I’ve seen people (presumably you OP) post this dude’s stuff a fair few times, and I think the style is fantastic. They’re awesome as individual pieces, but I’d really, really like to see a graphic novel or something by this artist. Is that something that exists? I have had a search, and all I could find is a sketchbook available in Singapore or something, and that wasn’t shipped to Europe.
