This picture is incomplete.

You need another guy on the ledt side, just casually watching as the others fight. That's Debian.

The poor dude being shoved into the locker is Suse.

The bully is Ubuntu.

Now we need a bigger guy behind the bully, waiting to get his hands on the bully. That will be RedHat.

Arch will be behind RedHat, getting ready to punch him in the face.

Gentoo will be right behind Arch, laughing like a maniac at the carnage unfolding.

And to the far right side of the picture you get to see this underrated guy, just shrugging his shoulders. That's LFS.

Self publishing is here to stay. What indie authors need is to create imaginative ways to guarantee their work is theirs and comes from their mind and not parsed through a meatgrinder to produce a poor substitute good.

Do I have any answers? No. I'm on that train myself, scared my work can be taken away from me. But I'm not willing to let my dream die and I will write ad publish.

Many authors write parallel works, so it is not impossible to in fact have more than one work ready for publishing at the same time. It even makes more sense if we consider that different books will take different amounts of time to proofread, review, etc.

What I do like is, because of this, publishing as it exists can be shooting itself on the foot.

If it becomes accepted that an independent author requires real time to write a book, then the same is true for a publisher backed one. So, if an author can churn out more than one work trough that channel than the indie one, that may imply the publisher is in fact using shadow writers to put more books out than humanly feasable.

There are incredibly talented and focused author that will put out a lot of work in a short time window but that is not the rule for the average person.

This is probably the worst concept ever for a reality show.

No. Not even dead.

It's not like we have had disastrous events related to hydrogen.

The objective is to built a trans-iberian pipeline for the liquified hydrogen. So, it will be interesting.

To what I know, the hydrogen to be produced is intentended to replace fossil gas in northern europe countries. It's meant to be a stockpileable energy resource.

It's not ideal but we either make middle of the road commitments and actually get something done to move forward or just call it all off an let things fizzle out

Your turn to shine.

Regardless, it is a start. Unless we are to stumble upon the secret of cold fusion, we need to compromise in order to make any kind of move away from fossil energy.

The project I mentioned is to be a self contained system, reliant on renewables only, hence the green classification.

If I may?

Hydrogen, green hydrogen, can be produced from water, using electricity produced from renewables, like solar amd wind.

My own country is in the process of converting a decomissioned refinery into a hydrogen plant.

It may not solve much in the short term but as an energy reserve, hydrogen can find use directly as a fuel or for running gas turbines to produce electricity in replacement of conventional gas.

Animal products are all across our civilization, regardless you use it personally or not.

Horseshoe crab blood is used to perform specialized tests and analizys. Many forms of gelatin extracted from animal tissues is used to inoculate cultures. Ever heard of lab mice and their importance for scientific research and development, especially when it comes to biomedical and pharmaceuticals? Are you aware that pigs provided human compatible insulin for decades before the synthetic formula was developed? You know replacement heart valves can be harvested from animals? Horses aid in producing antivenoms.

These are very niche yet very important roles animals play to support our entire civilization.

So enjoy your dietary option and allow others to do the same.

None of those negate the other options.
