I wonder if solar/wind/nuclear desalination plants would be better used piping water into existing infrastructure or (somehow) refilling aquifers.

... and that is apparently already a thing XD [1].

In my personal experience, life (or, er, people) tend(s) to find a way to mess up any sufficiently complex, shared resource. In other words, I'm happy that it never breaks for you :3

Re. Perforce made easy, I'd suggest hitting up stack overflow or the p4 forums -- the community is much smaller than git's (i.e. practically the entire open source community vs. game developers), so there are fewer people available to write such blog posts (but enough to complain, evidently). I have a number of company internal-blog posts that explain Perforce to fellow newbs, but they can't be made public due to contracts and etc.

Almost entirely unrelated but another good/incredibly annoying interjection is to say '-tish' when hearing someone pause mid-sentence with 'but um'. It's an excellent way to lose friends and get socked on the nose.
