Obligatory XKCD for when people say "The earth's climate has changed before"
https://xkcd.com/1732/

You want evidence that a prior species' industrial production has previously destroyed Earth's ecosystem before you believe that humans can do it? That is absolute rubbish.

The Sun and the Earth's core have nothing to do with the amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. The Sun will be shining and the Earth will be spinning long long after humans are gone.

Check the Javascript Console while the script is running. You will see the port scan, but in my case FF did not find the same open ports that Chrome found.

Did you try the full 65535 port scan?

I always forget Safari exists ... Safari Version Version 16.5.1 (18615.2.9.11.7) ran the full scan, the webpage updates, and finds no open ports. The same four ports that Chrome shows as open, Safari console output logs as closed.

Results from running https://ports.sh/full on my Mac with latest browser versions and no blocking add-ons:

Chrome Version 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (arm64) happily ran the scan in an incognito window, It found 4 open ports in the full 65,535 scan.

Firefox Version 114.0.2 (64-bit) runs the scan but the webpage does not update, although the Developer Tools Console shows the scan running. It found no open ports. For the same ports that Chrome found open, FF console logs show as not open.

Brave Version Version 1.52.129 Chromium: 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (arm64) is like FF - the scan runs, webpage is not updated, but console output shows log messages from the scan. The same ports Chrome found open, Brave says are not open.

I ran the full scan in each browser multiple times with the same results. After one attempt, FF became unresponsive and had to be killed.

The Netherlands also has a very simple no-fee inter-bank payment system called Ideal. It has existed since 2005 and now handles 70% of Dutch transactions. Users (businesses, your friends, etc) provide a link or QR code to request payment. No fees. The simplest method is to scan the QR code with your banking app and complete the payment. Pay a friend back, pay online merchants, pay utility bills, whatever. You also don't need a credit card for large purchases. Merchants allow paying in installments using scheduled Ideal transactions. No interest, no fees. https://ideal.nl/en

The video at 2:12 talks about charging and deployment. The drones are charged wirelessly on the pad, and you can see the power cords running to each pad. A grid of pads could be deployed on any flat rooftop, or a portion of a parking lot, etc.

They don't discuss what happens for inclement weather. For some regions, drones flying with exposed packages would be infeasible for months of the year.

They also don't discuss the noise factor. It's a disturbance for the neighbors, for all the buildings along the path, and it would attract opportunistic thieves.

Imagine even dozens of these things flying around a neighborhood. It would sound like a swarm of locusts all the time.

I'm so sorry! I confused who was responding to what and thought this was from the original poster who said "Renewable are a complete joke." I should really go back to lurking and not posting anything!

For what it's worth, I am on MacOS 12.4 (the latest) and just upgraded Thunderbird a few minutes ago. I have used Thunderbird for over a decade and at the moment I have a couple Gmails, several self-hosted accounts some IMAP some POP, one work-related Outlook 365 account using IMAP. Immediate issues were minor:
- One of my POP accounts re-downloaded all the emails left on the server, which is annoying and didn't happen in previous upgrades.
- One of my Gmail accounts appeared without any subfolders. I closed Thunderbird and re-opened and all is good now.

I have Thunderbird set to a very minimal UI and the look didn't change all that much from my perspective. The new left menu bar was easily hidden, and now it basically looks the same as before the upgrade.

It seemed like you were saying that because the sun doesn't always shine and windmills are classed as NIMBY in some regions, therefore all renewables are crap. Iceland is one example of a 100% renewable country where the sun doesn't shine and they don't spin wind turbines (I guess because they freeze?).

I was surprised to learn after a little searching just how much geothermal power is already available in the USA, and that it doesn't require an active volcano, but can be developed with a deep pipe 1-2km down towards the mantle. I'm not sure the cost to dig such a hole and operate the plant, but would be surprised if it were higher per unit of energy than the startup costs, maintenance costs and waste disposal costs (for all time!) of nuclear plants. Wikipedia lists geothermal as less than half the cost per kW of nuclear. Cost of electricity by source

There are a myriad of options to generate renewable power and to store it for base load use. Sun, wind, hydro, geothermal, biothermal and ways we haven't invented or perfected yet like solar fields in space or electricity generated from roads via mechanical vibration or heat transfer. One neat storage story over here in Europe is from Switzerland, who finally finished their massive hydro-electric storage facility under the Alps which will come online next week. Revolutionary new Swiss 'water battery' will be one of Europe's main renewable sources of energy

Obviously the world would need more renewable generation plants than the number of nuclear plants, but I don't see that as a bad thing. More plants is more redundancy, more competition for solutions, less need to transmit electricity very far distances, and potentially more options for regions or individual homes unreachable by transmission lines. Not to mention more jobs.

I look at it like the internet: we don't have one big router, or even one route from machine A to machine B. We have millions of little routers working together to serve this massive global network. It seems like electricity generation and storage should be moving in the same direction. I think Tesla is launching virtual power plant software for their powerwalls in the USA now? There are a lot of novel solutions to this problem.

Solar and wind aren't the only ways to produce energy. Iceland crosses the Arctic Circle, with very little light in the winter, and almost 100% of Iceland's power is renewable energy. Energy in Iceland

By the way, I live in The Netherlands, and I happen to think windmills are beautiful, the new ones as well as the old.
