I remember seeing a comparative analysis between municipality owned DSOs vs big private company DSOs in Sweden. Results showed that public DSOs were cheaper to the user, better, monetary benefits all staying locally. I can try to see if I could find it again if it's of interest

This is a helpful study on broadband, which includes many electric co-ops: cyber.harvard.edu/publications…

This is an amazing ad. It uses some amazing music. And I hear Joe Biden say uplifting things about "our country" to the song "The Voice" by Australian artist John Farnham. Wheee! Am I supposed to be happy for Australia or the US? hehehe!

youtu.be/vRe2f2CCVHY?si=AkZCQB…

in reply to Muse

heh! agreed, @Muse - but such is our egalitarian society: we're racist to everyone irregardless of skin tone or country of origin until they start making lotsa moneh then they're suddenly "Australian!". At least we dont wait until they're dead, i guess :/

"Thompson was initially doubtful if Farnham was able to do the song justice, as he only knew the singer from the novelty song "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)", which Farnham had performed about 18 years prior as a teenager. Thompson later admitted in an interview that his reaction to Farnham was "You've got to be joking. He's not doing it" The winning touch: bagpipes 😁

here's hoping the US has more luck with the blursed song

@Muse
in reply to Muse

just as an aside, the song was also used by anti-vax'ers much to the disgruntlement of Whispering Jack. The same mob that unknowingly serenaded Scienceworks (with Darryl Braithwaites "Horses". We dont know why. he was also unimpressed) from the West Gate. before heading off for Parliament House which they couldnt find - some ended up at Bamboo House, some at KFC, some were seen wandering Vic Market and may still be there today..


My interview from yesterday is now up on the BBC Inside Science podcast: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021jqc

I am extremely happy about how it came out! They let me have the final word about how there is a limit to how much stuff we can have in orbit, period, without serious consequences.

(And you all who saw my posts yesterday can have a small chuckle about how they edited my "lorry not semi" comparison haha)

I finally watched Pom Poko with my family - one of the few Ghibli films we hadn’t seen. It’s a strange, sad & thought-provoking movie. I’ll be reflecting on this one for some time.
#anime #movies
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I also haven’t seen it. Is it appropriate for small children like Totoro or is it more Princess Mononoke for teens and up?
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Pom Poko ending

the ending is so bittersweet.

It is heartwarming seeing the Human Tanooki reacting to their wild brethren; but it sucks they lost their homes that way.

IT is extremely undervalued and understaffed
