hope this isn't too good to be true: [link]

I'm afraid it is. Or at least it substitues a whole new set of problems. Energy for lighting to replace the free fusion reactor open fields use - the sun. Also when you talk land area, you cannot just count land the new farm building is on How much land was displace to make the steel and glass and concrete. How many trees were cut down for the wood.

There are ways to get the same water savings withou building syscrapers for it. And for that mattter if you want to grow food indoors there is a well known solution that still lets you use that free fusion reactor for lighting - greenhouses.

I could write an 8,000kl word essay on the problems with this - even if it is confiened to veggies. (Note that if you someone tried this with grains and pulses - which is most the overwhelming majority of agricultural land, you run into whole additional sets of problems. Also note that fruit mostly comes from trees. Maybe you can figure out the problem with trying to grow an orchard above the first floor.)

Is natter dead, or is it just msbelle?

Mean. I may have had too many drinks.

Get rid of the Stuff. You will feel better when the Stuff is gone.

Absofuckinglutely. Get rid of shit. When you're attached to all those little pieces and bits and bobs, you're just dragging yourself down. It is dead weight, a liability, a drag on forward motion. Be an engineer and discover the beauty of jetsam.

Not only is it Not Needed, it is Actively Negative. How do I know this? You're stressing about it! And none of it is necessary for your current well-being.

Consequently it's bad to have it.

Here's how to think of it: None of it is potential Daleks, but all of it is leaking battery acid and lead into your topsoil.

Fourth glass of wine. If Elijah shows up, I hope he is down for Grey's Anatomy.

Yes, msbelle has had too many drinks.

I love that megan shows up to give the msbelle report.

Weekend update: I am hanging out with an old college friend who is visiting from Germany. It is so lovely to see old friends.

Rest of weekend will involve grading, seeing my BiL, and some sort of Easter events on Sunday that may or may not involve my FiL and his wife.

OMG, even more embarrassing is that I just realized I had the same experience as McDreamy's fellow on last week's Grey's Anatomy.

Now that I know what that means - oh how not fun. But we've probably all been there to some degree, right?

Good times with the Tom and the msbelle and the megan walker and the smonster!

Yay good times!

I have a sliver of shiny moon left, and a lot of stars. Not bad.
