#fucking efficient

Love that the first time we meet August he immediately grabs Wille´s face and establishes himself as a disrespectful force of intrusion who ignores whatever boundaries Wille might have. As a viewer you wonder, hey, can he just do that? Who is he? Like, he´s totally on par with the queen on that one since we just saw her slap Wille´s finger out of his mouth at the palace. (Not to mention she also checked Wille´s face/make-up before that, which is the first time we see her touch her son in the show and it´s about appearances, which is then mirrored by August´s comment here, how you can barely notice the bruises.)

We learn right away, yes, August can and will mess with Wille and Wille will be forced to deal with that whether he wants to or not and then we learn why: August IS the royal familiy at Hillerska. And it´s just what they do.

One gesture.

one of my favorite things about zedaph is that on a server full of people that find strange and oft-overlooked minecraft mechanics or rare events and then see just how far they can push them in the name of spectacle or efficiency or world-breaking, zed is over here finding these mechanics in order to do the weirdest things he can think of in as entertaining a manner as possible

like i 100% have faith in zedaph's theoretical ability to be just as efficient or spectacular or world-breaking. if he wanted to do that stuff, i trust that he absolutely could. but thats so far from being his priority. instead, hes going to spend around a week of irl time focused entirely on eventually having the good luck to spawn in something insanely rare so that he can convert it into something even rarer, the result of which being something that 99% of the server reacts with complete and utter shock that it even exists in the first place, just because its zany and funny and he wanted to. and i love that

#zedaph #hermitcraft #genuinely i adore the clucky few project im not even done watching the episode and i had to pause and make this post #i saw impulses video first and went ''that HAS to be some sort of datapack or something-'' #only to immediately go ''no. no it cant be. because this is zed #and its practically a trademark of his to push the limits of the game as far as possible in the direction least expected #not for the purpose of efficiency or spectacle or intimidation or whatever like some players who push limits #but purely for the purpose of making something so funny you cant help but laugh at whats going on #and maybe being a bit impressed that he ever thought of it in the first place'' #at which point i went ''holy shit. since its zed doing this. somehow he ACTUALLY got a villager on a chicken. with no cheats. thats INSANE' #i was relieved when i checked my subscriptions to see what the next video i had to watch was and saw he would be next in line #bc if i had to sit through 19 other hermits videos before i could watch his and find out what the fuck he was doing i would have been so sa #sidenote but i feel like a zed video where he interacts with this many other people all in the same video is so rare #idk i didnt watch season 9 and i know he started collabing a lot more w/ other hermits then #so maybe its not nearly as rare these days #but like the last one that *i* saw where he interacted with this many people at once was towards the end of season 8 #when all the people he experimented on earlier in the season came back to experiment on him #and like i would like zeds videos with or without the collabs. but its a lot of fun to see him interact with people #so its very cool to me when he does it with a lot of people all in the same video

Millions of solar panels are piling up in warehouses across the Continent because of a manufacturing battle in China, where cut-throat competition has driven the world’s biggest panel-makers to expand production far faster than they can be installed.

The supply glut has caused solar panel prices to halve. This sounds like great news for the EU, which recently pledged to triple its solar power capacity to 672 gigawatts by 2030. That’s roughly equivalent to 200 large nuclear power stations.

In reality, though, it has caused a crisis. Under the EU’s “Green Deal Industrial Plan”, 40pc of the panels to be spread across European fields and roofs were meant to be made by European manufacturers.

However, the influx of cheap Chinese alternatives means that instead of tooling up, manufacturers are pulling out of the market or becoming insolvent. Last year 97pc of the solar panels installed across Europe came from China.[...]

The best estimates suggest that about 90 gigawatts worth of solar panels are stashed around Europe. That solar power capacity roughly equates to 25 large nuclear power stations the size of Hinkley Point C.[...]

The sheer scale of the problem was revealed in a recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

It warned that although the world was installing at record rates of around 400 gigawatts a year, manufacturing capacity was growing far faster.

By the end of this year solar panel factories, mostly in China, will be capable of churning out 1,100 gigawatts a year – nearly three times more than the world is ready [sic] for. For comparison, that’s about 11 times [!!!!] the UK’s entire generating capacity.

For some solar power installers, it’s a dream come true. Sagar Adani is building solar farms across India’s deserts, with 54 in operation and another 12 being built.

His company, Adani Green Energy, is constructing one solar farm so large that it will cover an area five times the size of Paris and have a capacity of 30 gigawatts – equal to a third of the UK’s entire generating capacity.

“I am installing tens of millions of solar panels across these projects,” says Adani. “Almost all of them will have been imported from China. There is nowhere else that can supply them in such numbers or at such prices.

“China saw the opportunity before others, it looked forward to what the world is going to set up 10 years on. And because they scaled up in the way they did, they were able to reduce costs substantially as well.”

That scaling up meant the capital cost of installing solar power fell from around £1.25m per megawatt of generating capacity in 2015 to around £600,000 today – a decrease of more than 50pc – making it cheaper than almost any other form of generation, including wind.[...]

“Up to 2012 there was a healthy looking European solar panel industry but it was actually very reliant on subsidies and preferential treatment.

“But then European governments and other customers started buying from China because their products were so much cheaper. And China still has cheap labour and cheap energy plus a massive domestic market. It’s hard to see Europe recovering from those disadvantages.”

Trying sososo hard to make this sound like a bad thing [23 Mar 24]

#sowwy ur nationalistic fever dream got outcompeted #free market innit #now shut up and install the fucking panels #shocking revelation: combatting a global problem isnt most efficiently done through local solutions #'we cant install that many' yeah you can lol #wheres that 'become an accompished scientist' meme

Once I was scrolling thru naruto fics and saw the tag "buisnessman!Kakashi" and all I could think about was Kakashi being a child businessman, owning all the konoha adults at doing business while wearing an oversized suit and tie. That idea is so fucking funny to me.

#obito: that kakashi! hes always showing me up by getting better deals than me >:-( #also just the idea of lil child Kakashi showing up at a business meeting and sealing the deal with an outline written in adorablly childish #handwriting. written in crayon lol #call this the naruto businessman au #every ninja is a business person and it exactly parallels canon. that is my dream #sealed inside naruto is the partial spirit of the ultimate buisnessman but its too powerful and everyones afraid #fucking hashirama's face on the wall as the company founder lmao rip madara: fuck this company ur brother embarrassed my brother so bad #at deal making that he died. im gonna tear it all down. face me hashirama! deal for deal. ill become the ultimate businessman ill control #the world and put an end to all this business! #oh got its so weird like the founders waterpark au that i also keep deep in my heart #anyway this is weird wtf am i doing. procrastinating and its like almost 11 i should keep writing or go to sleep lol #but wait: 10 years ago the spirit of a ferral businessman was unleashed upon this building. there was no stopping him. his charisma was #unmatched. his expense reports! his terrible otherworldly expense reports! he was too efficient! he fired half the staff! the spirit of #that buisnessman is sealed inside of u naruto. thats why theyre so afraid of u. and then cut to naruto in an oversized buisness suit #looking shocked. aw iruka as a daycare working. cute #anyway this is fucking dystopian lol #unrelated #naruto ramblings

So one thing Imma praise til I die is the sheer efficient storytelling of Dungeon Meshi

Just look at Mithrun

Immediately set up as the most important person in the room by being the only one not looking at the camera, mysterious covered face but always there, just barely off to the side

About one chapter of being incredibly badass and a fucking madlad

And then Ryoko Kui dumps a bucket of water on his head so you simply cannot mistake him as anything other than a sad wet cat of a man

#delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #ugh i cannot wait for this to be in the anime in season 2 #i will roast and eat the netflix executives if we don’t get to it #without seasoning #mithrun #mithrun dungeon meshi #he’s just such a wet fucking cat of a man #such efficient storytelling

yeah your boyfriend peeled you an orange but would he fake his death to make you his afterlife? would black flowers blossom, fearless on his breath?

#see house would absolutely fucking not peel that orange #but only because wilson would never ask #academic citation: (‘You would pick up my laundry if I asked you to’ ‘Go ahead. Ask’ ‘I wouldn’t do that to you’) #as for the opposite scenario #house wouldn’t ever say peel me an orange #he would just wait for wilson to peel one for himself and then steal that #if he ever did ask him to peel one it would be for the exact reason all these girls on tiktok r doing it #I mean he basically already did that experiment with the borrowing money thing LOL #but yeah I think wilson either do it as quickly and efficiently as possible if the circumstances are dire enough for house to be believably #sincere in his request #or he would get innedietly suspicious and interrogate him about what he’s up to #probably both actually #I digress #sometimes an act of service is going down with him hand in unlovable hand #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #house/wilson #hatecrimes md

Do you enjoy underfell? I thought you disliked aus /genq

i don't dislike the concept of AUs itself, I'm just not a fan of like... the subculture that spawned around them in the UT fandom specifically and how it eventually took over almost all canon content (especially when it limits itself to the bros)

i like aus visually! i am an artist at heart after all. it's just that, if I'm going to care about them as stories and not just fun design ideas, my bar is uhh almost impossibly high the further you move from canon lolol.

#uf being one of those! the story is centered on certain characters (mainly asgore) behaving very ooc #so as a stickler for canon I don't have much interest in it #but there is a very clear visual idea and motif in the redesigns that ties every character together very efficiently #and also fucks like a rabid rhino #so i can appreciate its visual/aesthetic aspects instead #i mean you can't understate the impact that good *artists* specifically had on the proliferation of aus back in the day #good writing is almost inseverable from good characterization because dialogues and characterization ARE an integral part #of what makes writing good. while good art (as much as it too is tied to its own conventions) is free-er from the bounds of accuracy #as was as being easier & faster to consume. writing has to be read first. you can just look at a piece of art and go ''wow that looks sick'' #without thinking about logical details/accuracy #you can show a pic of sans to an artist who's never touched the game and they might draw you the most gorgeous piece of art you've ever seen #it's significantly harder to do for writing #swap aus are a fun design challenge to see how you'd incorporate different aspects of some characters visual signatures into another #it's a game of translation of sorts. but if you want to treat it like a story well... the matter becomes a lot more complicated #answered asks #au tag

i kinda love how feng xin and mu qing are referred to as fengqing even outside of any romantic context

like atp “feng xin & mu qing” has become interchangeable w “fengqing” and i enjoy it greatly bc they’re literally just a matched set. doesn’t matter if you ship them or not they come as a unit regardless. bonded do not separate. this might be product bundling

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #tgcf feng xin #tgcf mu qing #fengqing #i appreciate the mutual understanding that they’re never like more than 4 feet from each other so referring to them separately is pointless #the two of them have become a collective and ykw!! it’s efficient!!! #will see a post like mentioning their geographical location or smthn and they will still say fengqing #fuck all to do with romance but wherever they are they’re probably together!! #guest appearance from my marketing vocab flashcards

Ketheric: I would raze the world for my daughter; I love her more than anything. What parent doesn't love their child this much? Durge: ??? Ketheric: And if she doesn't behave how I want her to then I will strip her of autonomy and force her to be my loyal, loving child. Durge: Ah, now you make sense.

#Ketheric is rather nifty in that out of all four of these idiots he's on the parent side of the fucked up parent-child dynamics #Although Durge is *supposed* to be a parent so they'd theoretically manage to nail both ultimately #Vel dodged it during his tenure by making sure none of them survived to be born #It's just skipping a step straight to the human sacrifice part of the kids' lives! It's efficiency! It's not trauma related! #/ketheric #/durge #babbling #villainous nonsense

While you shouldn't go out of your way to fuck over fellow workers, the advice going around that says, "be indispensable to your bosses!" are also setting yourself up for failure. What people don't tell you about "being indispensable" to your boss is that, for one, you aren't indispensable to them, but also, you will only become the Go-To Guy, somebody who suddenly finds themself doing two, three peoples' jobs for the pay of one.

Ask me how I figured out the hard way. If you can, jealously guard your labour, time, and energy, because lord knows your boss won't do that for you

#politics #a toxic work environment will prey on your insecurities in your labour and ability to work and use it against you #i wasn't ever insecure about my work ethic but i was always trying to be efficient and fast and that still is being used against me lol #i put in the 'dont go out of your way to fuck over fellow workers' part because i've also experienced that... #...if you go put of your way to do that to 'stick it to the bossman' just know your bossman is not being affected.. #...but what will likely happen is the lives of the people you work with are being made harder... #...if you're trying to stick it to the bossman than steal from 'em lol (for legal reasons this is a joke. a witticism even.)

less gentle nurturing protective goddess c!kristin more amoral fickle petty divine being c!kristin who cares little for the affairs of mortals aside from her chosen favorites. more c!kristin who destroys lives with a flick of the wrist without sparing a thought, not out of malice but pure carelessness, as gods are wont to do

#when characters are immortal i think that fucks them up so so much esp when theyre also very powerful #kristin and phils relationship is very emotionally intense partially because kristin literally has No One Else to connect to. #so shes very attached to him and to his family by extension but really doesnt give a damn about anyone else #it makes her a very efficient death god to be fair. #she IS protective of her people (the dead) but only out of the expectation that theyre Her property and no one elses #so when xd starts messing with the realm of the dead she gets pissy. but not out of actual care for the people affected you know #i just idk. really like stories where the affairs of gods are on such a totally different plane to the affairs of mortals #and that gods might not be Trying to kill people but they still do #the same way most people step on ants without meaning to #also yes it's a class metaphor. lol #text #mcyt

honestly i thought surtr was like some sort of hidden arknights boss or an ex-villain or something but she's just a passive mall goth lounging around and eating all my damn ice cream

#arknights #she doesnt leave my damn fridge alone #had to request a new minifridge through HR to hide my personal ice cream stash #(theyre original klondike bars. you see #only the original klondike bar has a solid chocolate casing hard enough that its a valid shell that doesnt crack or melt easily #and what i do is that in my office i use a spoon to introduce small microcracks into the klondike bar #to then pry apart by pieces and slowly deshell the klondike bar to eat its chocolate seperately from the ice cream #after ive finished eating all of the shell and ive properly left the ice cream proper nude #i proceed to eat the block of vanilla ice cream like a normal ice cream serving with the same spoon #using the foil itself as a plate for max efficiency #and upon finishing i lick the foil plate clean and politely fold up and throw away to minimize trash output as much as possible #thus ensuring a nice ice cream experience #but no surtr has to be like “bro just bite into the fucking ice cream its an ice cream sandwich” #BITCH you dont UNDERSTAND the PROCESS #WHICH ONE OF US IS THE TACTICIAN HERE????
