Harnessing the Sun: The Importance and Benefits of Solar Water Heating Systems
In today's world, where environmental consciousness is on the rise, the adoption of sustainable energy solutions has become increasingly crucial. One such solution is solar water heating systems, which utilize the abundant and renewable energy of the sun to heat water for various purposes. Let's explore the importance and benefits of these systems:
youtube
1. Renewable Energy Source
Solar energy is a renewable resource, meaning it is inexhaustible and sustainable. By harnessing solar power for heating water, we reduce our dependence on finite fossil fuels, thereby contributing to a cleaner and greener planet.
2. Energy Efficiency
Solar water heating systems are highly energy-efficient, converting a significant portion of the sun's energy into usable heat. This efficiency helps reduce overall energy consumption and lowers utility bills, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.
3. Cost Savings
While the initial investment in a solar water heating system may be higher than conventional water heaters, the long-term savings are substantial. With lower energy bills and minimal maintenance costs, homeowners can recoup their investment over time and enjoy significant savings in the future.
4. Environmental Impact
By using solar energy instead of fossil fuels to heat water, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint. This helps combat climate change and promotes a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.
5. Reliability
Solar energy is abundant and reliable, especially in sunny regions. Solar water heating systems can operate efficiently even on cloudy days, ensuring a continuous and reliable source of hot water for residential and commercial use.
6. Low Maintenance
Solar water heating systems are relatively low maintenance, requiring periodic checks and occasional servicing. With proper care, these systems can last for decades, providing reliable hot water for years to come.
7. Energy Independence
By installing a solar water heating system, homeowners can reduce their reliance on external sources for hot water, thus achieving a degree of energy independence. This is especially beneficial in remote areas or during power outages.
Latest updates on solar power energy:
Conclusion
Solar water heating systems offer a multitude of benefits, from cost savings to environmental protection. By harnessing the power of the sun, we can heat water efficiently, reduce our carbon footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Investing in a solar water heating system is not only a wise financial decision but also a step towards a cleaner, greener planet for generations to come.

listen. listen to me so carefully right now. (if you're in the eclipse path/planning on viewing). please don't stare directly at the sun tomorrow. i am begging you - do not stare at it. if you got eclipse glasses off of amazon/other, please put them on in your house and make sure you can't see anything; if you can still see like regular sun glasses, they are not safe for eclipse viewing, you will burn your retinas, and we cannot fix that. eclipse glasses should be iso/ce certified, and aas (american astronomical society) approved. please make smart choices and protect your eyes. please.
#psa from your friendly neighborhood eye care provider#the office is already fielding so many calls about this make good life choices#very important#eclipse#solar eclipse#eye health#not medical advice#just me screaming to please protect your eyes#ive seen exactly one case of solar retinopathy in my career so far please don't give me another one

hot take but i dont think sun is suicidal
i dont think hes the one with the worst mental health in this show either
besides eclipse (bc thats obvious), id say solar has the worst mental health
hes already killed 2 ppl (didnt want to kill either of them and one was on accident), is insecure about his own identity (asked computer if hes like the other eclipses, and i also bet montys... "teasing" didnt help), has no hobbies of his own, refuses to actually acknowledge his own issues, doesnt communicate to ppl and tries to "not be a bother" to others, never does anything for himself and only ever does when someone tells him to, and probably more.
but i'll analyze solar and his shit mental health later; i wanna ramble about sun
i dont think sun has ever been actively suicidal, mainly passive. in case ur wondering wut the difference is:
being passively suicidal is having thoughts and "wishes" but never actually planning to do anything. a lot of ppl will think "i wish i was dead" when in reality wut they need is a break and they have no real desire to die (this is a common thought process to have when ur burnt out or generally in a mental rut)
being actively suicidal is actually planning to do something and seeking out ways to harm urself with the intent of being severely injured or dying. this is an immediate emergency
sun never went out in search of ways to die. he never planned out ways he could kill himself. the time we heard him say "i wish i was dead" was right after he hallucinated bloodmoon and old moon taunting him. he was tired and he needed a fucking break, so he expressed that through saying "i wish i was dead". now u might be thinking "but birdcage, he did go out and do risky things knowing he might die" yes, that is true. but that does not mean that dying was his intention. he went out and did dangerous things bc he wanted to help, not die.
but if we return to the current moment; he is absolutely not suicidal. his mental health is deteriorating, yes. but from wut i can tell he hasnt shown any signs of suicidal ideation. for a while sun said he had pretty stable mental health. it was only until eclipse came back did his health really start to deteriorate again. then if u add on to how hes constantly being pushed to the side and ignored by his own family (im more than mildly frustrated by that) that is absolutely a disaster brewing under the surface. but does that mean hes currently, at the very least passively, suicidal? no. probably not. at least, from wut we can tell there isnt much to back up the idea that he is.
wut sun needs is to be acknowledged and let in on the happenings of the family instead of being ignored. he also needs to learn how to communicate better bc the severe lack of it is wuts going to cause the downfall of everyone in the show
#birdcage rambles#suicide#suicidal thoughts#i really felt like explaining the difference between passive and active suicidal thoughts is VERY important for this conversation#bc. from wut i could tell. sun was never actively suicidal#unless im missing something#it was always passive#sun and moon show#sams#tsams#the sun and moon show#sams sun#tsams sun#sun sams#sun tsams#sams solar#tsams solar#i think he still counts to be added in here since i talked about him briefly

💘 for the writing game!
Hello! I definitely have to thank you for this prompt because I think it might be my favorite of all the fills I got to write for this meme (although I maybe got a little carried away) <3
Call this one a modern AU, probably. CW: emotional abuse, briefly mentioned homophobia, Steve just has a shitty family
💘 fake relationship / mutual pining / dared to kiss
Prompt from this list
-
So Eddie’s maybe been laying it on a little thick.
That’s his excuse, anyway.
It’s just – it’s possible he’s gotten a little carried away; while the idea had been for him to accompany Steve for moral support to the annual three days of torture that are his visits home for Christmas, Eddie’s priorities had shifted a little with the last phone call he’d overheard Steve taking from his mom.
Something-something-I hope you’ve found someone to bring home with you, Steven-something-something-your cousin already has a baby on the way-something-something-such a disappointment to see you alone, Steven-something-something.
Steve had looked so small and sad after talking to her, the way he always does after talking to her, and Eddie wishes his parents’ approval (or lack thereof) didn’t hold such a sway over Steve, not when they don’t deserve that kind of respect, but he also gets it – family is complicated. So instead, Eddie offers Steve a way to shove his parents’ faces in it.
Instead of showing up in a strictly platonic, friendly-like capacity, he offers to play Steve’s boyfriend for the holiday.
And since Steve is the same brand of crazy as Eddie (even if he buries it better), he accepts.
So from the moment they pull up in front of the Harrington house the morning of December twenty-fourth, Eddie plays the doting boyfriend to a tee. He holds Steve’s hand, he kisses him on the cheek, he snuggles up to him on the sofa; he plays nice with Steve’s homophobic grandfather, and is only a little snarky with Steve’s patronizing uncle, and talks Steve up every chance he gets.
So yes, he’s laying it on a little thick, but Steve’s family should think he has a partner who adores him.
Because Steve deserves a partner who adores him.
(Because Eddie does adore him. Which is – well, that’s probably part of the problem.)
It doesn’t work as well as Eddie had hoped it would, in the end. Steve’s family can’t fault him for being “pathetically single” anymore, but they can pick him apart in literally every other respect – and they do.
He takes it like a pro, letting the nasty, pointed comments roll off him, smooth and brittle as glass, never causing a scene or biting back, because it’s Christmas and apparently this is just how they celebrate.
(They mostly ignore Eddie, acting like he’s beneath them, which has Steve sending apologetic glances his way the whole day, like Eddie is the one who needs an apology when Steve is the one being vivisected by his family.)
Steve just holds in whatever he’s feeling until they’ve retired for the night, up in the guest room that used to be his room, that his mom had apparently barely waited until he’d moved out to start converting.
He holds it in and holds it in until the door shuts behind them and he all but collapses on the edge of the bed, crumpling in on himself like the ugly plaid duvet is crumpling underneath him, with his shoulders curved in and his face covered and his chest heaving with what are maybe supposed to be calming, deep breaths but are definitely not working, because the stress is still coming off him in waves.
And like Eddie said: he’s maybe gotten a little carried away with his role, but it just feels completely normal to go right to Steve, to curl his arms around him and pull him in close and remind him that his family’s opinions aren’t worth shit and that Steve is so good, and–
And when Steve uncovers his face, a little blotchy and pulling tight with the effort not to let any tears flow free, it just feels completely normal to press a kiss to his cheek, and another to the corner of his mouth, and another to his lips, all in quick succession, all soft and reverent and reassuring.
Eddie freezes the moment he’s pulled back. The moment he realizes what he’s just done.
“Eddie,” Steve murmurs into the still air between them, “there’s… no one watching right now.”
You don’t have to do this, he means.
“I–” Eddie’s voice gets caught up in his throat, because his brain is screaming at him to play it off, to tell Steve that he just got carried away, got too into the role – but his heart, noisy fucker that it is, has different ideas. “I… maybe haven’t been faking as much as I said I was. Or, like– at all.”
“Oh, thank god,” Steve breathes, and then he’s pushing back in for another kiss, his mouth eager and warm and perfect against Eddie’s.
And the next two days aren’t going to be any less stressful, spent around a flock of hungry vultures masquerading as people, but Eddie figures that if nothing else, at least one good thing will have come from the holiday.
He tilts his head to deepen the kiss and Steve opens up beneath him, anticipating him like they’ve been doing this for ages, and – yeah, Eddie decides.
One very, very good thing.
#steddie-island#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#Eddie realizes that since there’s no pleasing Steve’s family either way he might as well just act like himself for the rest of the trip#so he does - like. as much as he can without picking a fight#because it makes Steve smile and that’s the important part#and the next night they realize that Steve’s homophobic grandfather is in the room next door to theirs#and Eddie fucks Steve hard enough that the bed hits the wall#repeatedly#and they leave early the next morning while Eddie loudly talks about how he’ll drive#because HE KNOWS STEVE MUST BE TIRED#and Eddie didn’t mean to keep him up ALL NIGHT but he just COULDN’T HELP HIMSELF#and then they spend their next Christmas with Wayne instead of Steve’s family and it’s much much better#the end#stranger things#eddiesteve#solar wrote#answers from solar

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed
#like we have so many ways of doing things that could help us in the long run but because we're told it requires more work we just cant#its too resource intensive. or maybe its too much to maintain. we have to overlook benefits so money can go into more important things#we teach each other to do things a certain way so it works for everyone but who was it convenient for first? what abt who it might hurt?#i have to wonder if the rules our current system uses is worth listening to or following if it doesnt have our best interests in mind. u an#me and the ppl around us.. would we be better off if i ate my meals knowing the person who grew it wanted to feed others the way they could#feed themselves? and that isnt to say we're going to be happy doing it but i guess satisfied that its helping someone instead of quietly#accepting that itll eventually go in the dumpster behind a grocery store because it stopped looking appetizing or it wasnt on sale anymore#what about building homes so we can shelter each other? what if we were satisfied with what we did because we knew it would be paid back#with kindness? isnt that what we evolved to do?? heal each others bones and tell stories and help each other??#why dont houses come with solar panels or generators unless we find a way to make people pay to use the sun? why is our pooled money used#to fund genocides instead of education and hospitals? whose interests and convenience came first when we started this??#i wont pretend to know the answer because i dont. but we all know we're miserable and im sorry to say that i cant see myself fighting#for a world that wont fight for me too. why do we work if we cant live from it?? why did they stop us from plucking more teeth from our#bosses until they could build more walls around themselves and then go back to underpaying us??#im so tired. i cant even imagine making it to age 70#yapping#vent

i have like a severe interest in archaeoastronomy and firsthand observations of the night sky and the techniques that humans have been using to observe for like utter millennia. and so this had led me to a weird position where even among my fellow astronomy people i'm like, too knowledgeable about certain aspects of it such that none of them know wtf i'm talking about. like yeah my one coworker will make a metaphor and say that something is like an oscilloscope, and we all nod our heads and agree because we all know what an oscilloscope is and have done experiments using one. but if i mention like, the nebra sky disc. i'm the only one who gets it
#or i start talking about like the golden gate of the ecliptic or the first point of aries etc all essential for like#using the zodiac for timekeeping specifically#and my coworkers are just like. ? whats all that#but like . isnt it so cool? to look up into the sky and see the passage of time reflected in the stars and solar system???#to sort of work your way backwards and affirm yourself of the time of the year not based off your phone calendar or the#air temperature but solely off the position of the sun in the sky at a given time of day#brot posts#astro posting#<- ASTRONOMY#ive genuinely come to love the zodiac so much like its so good and the more you observe yourself the more you come to#understand why the zodiac constellations were so important in antiquity#but every time i try to acknowledge it out loud irl i have to be like. the zodiac BUT ASTRONOMY. NOT ASTROLOGY !!!!!#like literally the physical reality of the stars and shit. i do not care about the astrological zodiac

Thinking once again about Solar Power (the album) and how well it captures the experience of being in one's twenties and trying to figure out how to live one's own particular life well
#even its flaws- its lack of perfect coherence its hubris its cringe -just speak to what that moment in time is like!!#youth and foolishness trying to make steps towards experience and wisdom#often falling flat on its face but making progress! learning! all the same#anyways stoned at the nail salon + fallen fruit + oceanic feeling (ESPECIALLY the latter) are so deeply important to me!!!#my roman empire really is this album i am not even joking#solar power#lorde

Learning about old tech and blorbo-ifying Solar Flare is so perfect for me actually bc then I can apply silly little headcanons to them based on the tech I see. Like.
They do a little jingle when they power on. Their tracking is slow and lagged due to older processors. They have ports on their body that are wildly outdated. Their eyes can show error numbers or change into different shapes and icons. Their mouth and chest lines are vents with metal mesh because their internal fans aren’t nearly enough to keep all their internal workings cooled off. They struggle to multitask because there’s only so much they can process before they can’t focus on anything. I love them ………
#xero says things#i should change my pfp to a low quality image of solar flare….. so that i can be the local solar flare lover#they’re /so/ important to me#i think someone should take solar flare by their clawed and exposed endo hands and say hey man. let’s get you some upgraded firmware.#let’s rework some small things on your circuit board. let’s cover the soldering lines on your body. let’s upgrade you a bit.#i want them to get the care and love they deserve :(#sun and moon show#tsams#solar flare#sams solar flare

So, @silv-paru sent Sherlock Holmes for the character opinion bingo. thanks a bunch for this (and for your patience. my god, i’m answering this a week late. typical me behaviour). you’re a darling :D
Did you know, i used to tell these stories to my friends? they delighted in them AND i got a chance to sort of ramble on and on abt him and watson. it was a win-win, really. ah, those were the days! now i haven’t reblogged much of him this month at all. i miss him. I MISS HIM.
Onto the bingo: well. he’s The quintessence of gender™ to me. and i relate to him so so much. fav character of all time fr. i want to carry him in my pocket at all times & study him. like. do i want to BE him OR am i IN LOVE with him, ykwim? pssh who knows? certainly not me. uh-huh ‘a beast unleashed’ -does this refer to me or him? you choose. oh re: canon, i’m ignoring the part where holmes dies (or y’know, is dead for 3 years). that’s too angsty.
#sherlock holmes#my dearest blorbo#he’s my belovedest chewtoy basically#if i think abt how modern adaptations *looking at you bbc sherlock* have ruined his character i get so angry i have to take deep breaths#*mutters darkly* he is NOT an arrogant cold-hearted bitch like he’s portrayed; well he IS a bitch but not a cold-hearted one!!#see. the thing abt holmes is that he’s SUCH a sweet boy okay. and he’s compassionate#he cares sooo much. that’s the reason people come to him when they’re distressed. they trust him#he hates the police. he is a jester at heart. loves his watson#he’s here to help the truly desparate helpless people even if they have no money to pay him for the case. no questions asked. But-#he fucking despises obnoxious rich men. the first time he meets watson a total stranger he *very excitedly* tells him abt his experiment#it’s very adorable. he never stops trying to impress ever. infact blushes furiously when complimented by him#my guy has 0 knowledge of our solar system but he’s written several monographs abt different types of ASHES. go figure!#OH i almost forgot the most important fact he’s special to me bc holmes is an audhd gay disaster bastard. sometimes he’s even bisexual#but mostly he’s acespec and in a qpr w watson. he’s VERY adhd. behaves like an excited cat and oh so cute when he stims. everytime he does#i go SQUEEE. when he’s depressed it’s a goddamn hashtag big mood. as in many other ways he is me i am him#he’s PASSIONATE and KIND that’s all you need to know#acd stories are about just some guy who loves his job (which he invented himself btw after quitting college) that’s it#i am overcome with an almighty need to squeeze his cheeks#he’s everything to me <3#alright if i don’t stop now i doubt i ever will LMAO bye#acd holmes#if u read till the end u get a cookie and a kiss on the nose i love u
