@my-liquid-head.bsky.social When I first looked, I thought it was in snow. IR does funky things to perception.
@altyellonatpark.org I will say that lenses scare some animals—one of the wolves at our local zoo hides whenever he sees me with my camera, although that may be just because he sees me. Not sure what set him off originally. Ironic, given that grey wolves have been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid.
@altyellonatpark.org And it’s not like the camo is going to do much good standing in front of a large SUV. Doesn’t exactly blend.
@altyellonatpark.org Well, there’s that. I already have a pretty dark view of human nature, and I try to avoid making it any darker.
@drpauldorfman.bsky.social That was specifically in response to concerns about the disruption cause by large hydro projects. The don’t all have to be Hoover Dam and flood hundreds or thousands of homes to be effective, but then there need to be more of them.
@artgeek.biz Thanks—I’ll give that a try!

@drpauldorfman.bsky.social Very few people realize that our electric utility has a small hydro plant downtown on the High Falls of the Genesee. It generates significant power and reuses about 200 year old infrastructure originally built to power flour mills in Rochester (aka The Flour/Flower City).
@drpauldorfman.bsky.social I’ve heard lots of thoughtful folks support nuclear, not because they are shills but because nuclear doesn’t directly pollute the air. There are, however, other serious drawbacks (cf TMI, Chernobyl, and Fukushima). Hydro, solar, and wind can also be done distributed, on a small scale.
