Still couldn't get the comma, though

In this economy?

Charlie Brown is done with Snoopy's shit.

As the blog post discusses, there are multiple ways to measure efficiency; energy density is one, and possibly the most important advantage of hydrocarbons. The first figure in the blog post describes another: quantity of mineral extraction per energy production. From that metric, renewables are much more efficient.

Personally, I'm not bothered by the blog post. The advantages of fossil fuels are well known - that's why they continue to be widely used. Their main disadvantage, emissions, are also we'll publicized. The perspective of the blog post is that there are other, less discussed metrics under which renewables have an advantage.

Great song - but the title is "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song."

Unilluminated? Night?

FYI - "dark side of the moon" refers to the far side of the moon (that never faces Earth). Dark here has the same meaning as in dark energy: "unknown."

I have no answer to your actual question, but would also be interested.

I'm just learning about all this. Can you clarify what's different about facilitated communication and what is described in the article? The article describes the technique as "supported typing," which is a synonym for facilities communication according to a reference in the Wikipedia article.

The technique described in the article also seems to align with one of the descriptions of facilited communication included in the Wikipedia article:

In some cases, patients learn to give specific responses to cues from the facilitator, such as in cases where the facilitator only touches their shoulder or does not touch the patient at all.

That's a bummer, but thanks for the insight. After reading the article, I was happy to hear someone with a disability was able to find a way to express themself. The article discusses the alleged author having given a TEDx talk and is writing an autobiography.

The original article brushes past the role of the facilitator in the process, which struck me as strange when I first read it. It makes much more sense after your context: they're aware of the criticisms around supported typing and are minimizing them. From the article:

Another person touches my shoulder as I type. This touch helps me be aware of my body and helps me focus on communicating my message.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to the facilitator and anyone else involved in the care of the autistic individual, the likely reality is still very dark. The autistic person is being used to write articles and a book and brought onto stages to give talks, all using someone else's words. I don't presume to speak for the individual, but I wonder what they really feel or understand about the situation.

The only positive I see is that the autistic person is hopefully earning enough to pay for their living expenses and care, though I'm sure the facilitator also takes a cut.

Of course. I was trying to make something less useful than knowing the strides in a mile.
