IPA? My thoughts were:

  • India Pale Ale
  • Institute for Public Affairs (right wing think tank)

Though, I guess it's good they did not name it Protected Indigenous Areas....

    It's feeling pretty warm. Can't wait for the upcoming warmest spring, and then summer, and then autumn and then winter and then spring and then summer and then autumn so it goes.

    Well if the universe keeps expanding and accelerating its expansion then hypothetically one day there could be a point where you would not be able to see any stars or galaxies in the sky even with the most powerful telescope in the universe.

    And I never thought of you as trying to portray such a standard. We have to work within the confines of the written word only and it can lead to misunderstandings.

    Another curious tactic used is to stick a couple of decals (about a metre in diameter each) that resemble open eyes towards the base of the wind towers. This apparently puts off eagles because they don't like to be stared at so they fly away from the towers. I have not seen any studies that completely confirm their effectiveness but I know the staring eyes were being used in Spain a few years ago along with the black blades. by one of the major power companies there.

    Thanks for the info! Brilliant to know! I was genuinely asking. I know it's hugely conflated, and co-opted the harm to birds. I'm not saying zero harm, just that the amount of harm caused is conflated in disingenuous ways (mostly from unreliable sources). No energy production is perfect, literally all energy creation has energy loss or bi product, etc. I didn't mean to come across as trying to portray a standard of perfection. Apologies.
