What makes you think the author has poor reading skill?

Or are you thinking more of a "farmer" as someone selling individual artisan carrots?

  Nearly every blog post I have read in this ecosystem, even the rare one that contains some good ideas, is painfully long and extremely tedious.

That's a very weak straw manning of their (admittedly not strongly stated) position.

You'd look better if you had a shot at steel manning where they're coming from rather than adopting such a weak and trivial rebuttal.

These works were referenced in my complex dynamics classes of the early 1980s, along with other geodetic works on magnetic and gravitational fields, tides, etc.

The Mouse and His Child - Russell Hoban

A Wizard of Earthsea: A Graphic Novel - Ursula K. Le Guin, Fred Fordham

The SAS Survival Handbook - Lofty Wiseman

They more or less all cover the search for being self winding.

On the human craft side, however, this article is also about the cancellation of Spider-Noir despite:

  Spider-Noir was the actor's first TV role and was praised globally, with season 1 earning a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating from critics of 92% and a 90% rating from audiences.
  Critics stated that "This sharply written homage to classic film noir — which includes a standout Nicolas Cage performance — is the novel superhero project fans need," and "Spider-Noir is one of the standout shows of the year...." The cancellation was certainly a huge shock as it had earned 11 Emmy nominations and reached 2.6 billion minutes viewed within its first six weeks on Prime Video. 

There's a tension between "productivity gains" and "quality" that still needs resolving.

Not sheep raised for meat, bred to be low wool volume producers, and regularly (two or three times a year) run through a defoliating spray.

See, for example: https://farmtable.com.au/ag-library/ag-business-resources/se...

FWiW, in the actual sheep for wool trade there's still a high demand in China for ultrafine low micron merino wool for modern high end breathable suits. So:

> Then, everything closed and the only thing left was to send it to China.

really depends on the grade and quality of the wool - a lot is low grade rag fibre for stuffing and insulation, some (many tonnes per annum) is for quality tailoring.

What's the total acreage of lithium extraction ponds in China today?

As distinct, of course, from the artificial lake of sludge known as the Weikuang Dam, four square miles in size, holding rare earth processing sludge waste in Baotou (Inner Mongolia) which is not from lithium processing.

What percentage of China's land area do these tailing ponds amount to, is "great swathes" really a fair estimate?

Do you think that acreage will drop with the current rise in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE: new technique that skips traditional evaporation ponds, using filters or membranes to pull lithium directly from brine. It's faster, uses less water, and works in areas with lower brine lithium concentrations.) ?

What's your worksheet on waste from fossil fuels V waste from battery production looking like, is it online for others to look at ?

These can be trucked or flown into place.

Factory built simplifies full trade critical path, with pipeline schedule of custom variations moving through to be wired, plumbed, built out and finished.

Also opportunity for automation streamlining.

Contrary wise, most Capital is a problem for many because most of the capital (literal trillions) is tied up in the hands of a very few individuals and boards who are exerting an undue influence on hundreds of millions.

Those who can, will, those who can't won't - and in response to the question posed, those who can no longer afford will either have to learn how or put up with decay creep.

Thanks for reply, I came back here after spending a bit of time searching the episode descriptions for key words - no Greenpeace (not even green), few uses of nuclear (and none related), no Rainbows or Zealand's.

Guess they just skipped right over that face plant of DGSE history :/
