This is a controversial topic but nuclear is absolutely not the way forward.

Compared to renewables, nuclear is expensive, will get even more expensive due to a very limited supply of pure uranium, has issues with safe long-term storage of radioactive byproducts and the potential to melt down comes with terrible consequences to the environment. Yes, it produces the same power day and night.

But - we live in the 21st century. We have microchips, the Internet and plenty of ways to collect and store energy. No, it’s not as easy as a power plant that goes brrrrr 24/7, but building up a smart power grid is absolutely possible with our current tech.

With rooftop and balcony solar, we have finally found a way for people to decentrally generate (or even store) their own or their neighbors’ energy.

Yet, nuclear fission to heat up water to spin a turbine is still being flaunted as the future by some people. Makes no sense to me.

Sometimes I miss the open Internet 😢

Thank you. And I sympathize, 40min is rough.

We’ve been using a catmate feeder for the last 2 nights and it seems to have helped a little.

But some of the morning ruccus may just be literal screams for attention 😏

I posted this using the android app “blorp” and I guess that does some compression?

Yes, he is a grumpy boy. Unless he’s asleep, then he becomes a seal 😅

I like this idea. Will try dry food in the morning. He doesn’t get nearly as excited about dry food 😁

A full day’s meal in one go? He’s really into food but I’d be afraid he’d vomit if he ate that much 😄

This is a bit tricky, unfortunately. The gray one is much more into dry food and we’ve already had to cut back on food a little bit because he has been gaining weight. I fear that if food is always available, the gray one would gain weight very quickly.

Did you feed him just dry food? I’d be concerned about wet food going bad, especially in summer.

Same. The ingredient list agrees - no salt listed.

On the carton it just says flavouring and natural flavouring, so we’ll never know…

Dang, the real freaks are always in the comments 💪

You do you, but butter and coffee are way out of my comfort zone 😅

Had to look that up. You are talking about the popcorn flavored jelly bellys?

I think the last time I had those was back when the later Harry Potter movies were being released. These bertie bott’s things were awful, so I very much believe you 😁

As in bailey’s flavored preground coffee? Ouch.

I’m thinking worst case I use it for my daily bowl of cereal.

I am genuinely intrigued honestly. Years ago, James Hoffmann did a video on extracting a donut’s flavor into coffee. Tried that and probably because I cut some corners it didn’t turn out great.

But I still think about that sometimes 🌝
