Over a million people have died in the states from Covid and the US has a quarter of the population china. I guess china was not wanting to have 4+million of their citizens die so they took a different approach. That and their vaccine not being great didn’t help. china was turning into a dystopian nightmare before Covid and now it’s full on.

Reply to comment by AlbertaChuck in Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh

Reply to comment by Salt_Market_6989 in TIL about the void that forms under certain trees when it snows, called tree wells. The upper branches of the tree prevents snow from falling below it, creating a pocket that is a serious peril for skiers & snow boarders. Several die every year from falling head first into these voids. by Roguecop
Where I snowboard tree wells can be more then 12 feet deep and some years deeper. Part of the danger is that typically there is some sort of collision with the tree which then sheds it’s snow load on top of the rider. Imagine going head first for a dozen or more feet and as the walls of the well collapse the tree release the all the snow from it’s branches. I have done it once at it is scarier than I can describe. There you are upside down and buried. You can have all the safety equipment with you but you can’t move much or access your pack. The consolidated snow doesn’t get hard like in an avalanche so you can move a little. The key is not to panic.
