Looks good! Put in a similar requirements as I have on my sailboat and the system it spit out was pretty close to what I have working for me.

Last time I took a mental health sick leave was for three months after a breakup. Back then I moved into my parent's in-law suite and basically just tried having one single task on my todo list at a time. Wether that was dishes, making my bed or showering. (This excluded taking care of my cat as she didn't sign up to be neglected) I mostly worked on 3D modeling projects at the time and worked through the process of buying a sailboat to live on. The biggest help for me was being able to get "old people meals" from the local small grocery store and having.

These days I haven't needed to take time off because I pre-emptively sail to a remote anchorage for a week or two and separate myself from being able to run errands or be available for people except the once that help me recover (they bring me food and cuddles :3). No neighbours, no noises that aren't me (except the screaming kitty) Only me in my lil solar powered spaceship taking naps until I slowly start being able to do the tasks I wanna do.

I know I'm doing better when I start just naturally cleaning up the counters, working on lil projects and my brain doesn't need 2-3 naps a day. For my sick leave I was starting to look forward to working on my work projects by the third month. Oh and the emotional disregulation started fading lol

But yeah, sleep and reducing demands (including even just the POSSIBILITY of doing things) is key for me.

Oh 100% And I was thinking of extreme examples with the Pickering Nuclear station having (once up to) 8 550MW reactors dumping heat into a fairly shallow part of the lake and the NB reactor having no chance to remotely affect the bay of Fundy temps lol.

Lil halicination farms on the seafloor are a dumb idea but not because of heat affecting the environment beyond the thousands of organisms that would live directly on them.

The plants on the lakes so monitor the water temp so they don't affect the ecosystem during the warmer seasons still.

But I doubt the one in NB had to worry about that when more water flows by it than all the rivers in the world combined.

But yes, much better source of cooling at the cost of maintenance and equipment. Just like tidal power but with fewer moving parts.

Battlestar Galactica

Even more dumb than those. Orcas aren't touching the luxury yacht class of boats. Even the one pictured is at most a few million brand new or <100-300k if old and probably run by a solo elderly couple living out their retirement.

If only the yachts orcas target weren't the rich people kind that first come to mind..

They're just the homes of unfortunate regular people that are traveling using the wind on boats worth less than your average home...

I may live on a "yacht" but it's worth the same as a new base model Honda Civic. We ain't billionaires yo.

Huh, my entire family always just ate the red part whole. The seed crunch is part of the experience. I couldn't imagine going through the trouble of separating the meat off the seeds.

Edit: yep pomegranate seeds are fully edible and full of nutrients at that.

Eat the meat around the seeds?? Are you eating the white parts or eating it like it was a hundred tiny peaches?

Mine didn't seem to mind getting 40 knots of wind blasted up her butt so idk...

How else do you expect them to build affordable consumer products? Kids need less food and space so why not use that to their advantage alongside genocidal government subsidies? /s
