When the choice is getting on with life or starving to death, you tend to become focused on the basics. Whether this is an improvement may be debatable (sublimation?), but sometimes life is harsh. Grandpa might have faced similar mental problems when he was young, and had no choice but to ignore them and may simply perceive that problem differently.

I, too, am not a spring chicken, so add whatever salt you like to this description. But I do think that there are a lot of hungry people around the world willing to ignore their own troubles and steal your lucky spot regardless of your mental state.

The cheeto thinks he can build walls to keep those hungry people at bay... but rather than letting them migrate to start at the bottom in the land of opportunity I think his approach is just going to end up with all of us doing more dirty work on our respective sides of the walls... possibly much sooner than we would like. Beware you don't end up out-competed in the rat race while you grapple with your internal demons.

Own? This is Windows, right? Isn't that experience leased?

If you convert the chemical energy in a unit of coal to heat (burn it) you can calculate how much energy exists in that coal, measured in appropriate units (e.g. kWh). That is evidently what this author is trying to dumb down as "invested energy". The amount of energy extracted as electricity is typically 40% of that.. the rest ends up as heat which is much less useful than electricity.

I agree that this is not particularly useful in discussing the merits of different energy sources because good design tends to do as well as is practical and the supply of fuel and negative impacts of that process can't vary dramatically.

When they sense invisible electromagnetic wavelengths like xrays or microwaves and "assign" colors to completely invisible wavelengths then that is false color imaging. Possible to do with the sun... but unlikely with an amateur rig.

Not OP, but solar photography requires super dense filters so like sunglasses alter what you see from "actual" the filters also alter the image from "actual" yet this is what would "actually" be "seen" by the camera. So yes and no depending how you want to interpret "actual".

On average maybe, but no individual is average and Lenny is growing.

Trump is the expert. I am sure he knows what he is talking about. /s

This has always been a risk for artists working for powerful people. It doesn't necessarily end well for the artist.

Trump is a figurehead. He has an army of QAnon people writing up executive orders for him to sign. Ask him what he signed a day later and you get an "I dunno" response.

A policeman? is that unusual?

TIL. tho maybe TMI.
