Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I feel like looking for a virgin on tinder is like going to the desert to find water to drink. I mean you might find it, but you're in the wrong place buddy.

They're Porsche. They were never going to sell that many cars, but the ones they do sell are fast. that's their raison d'etre.

Whatever power source they use, that's the point of the company, and if they're not making fast cars people aren't going to overpay for them.

I know a Porsche owner, he drives a Toyota most of the time. I suspect most Porsche owners are like that. Even if they own a Porsche EV, even if they're all-in on EVs, they'll also own a boring EV from a mainstream company for day to day use.

"Unifyin' Biden, that's what they call me, Jack!"

Any plans on how to spend it all?

BOEING? More like "boing" because their planes all hit the ground so hard.

"and I was 107!"

The whole premise is wrong.

It's not that solar panels don't work when they're cold, it's that the conditions when things are cold are not the sort that are conducive to solar power.

First of all, a solar panel covered in ice and snow is obviously not going to be producing on the same level as one that isn't, which for a solar farm you could probably hire someone to keep them clean so that's not that big of a deal, but for the ones on top of a house that could be a big deal.

Second, and most importantly, heat on Earth comes from the sun. The times that it's cold out are cold because insufficient energy from the Sun is hitting that part of the earth to warm it up to a comfortable temperature. Where I spend most of my time, in winter there's like 8 hours of daylight, and in summer there's like 16 hours of daylight. When the sun isn't out, the cost of a kilowatt hour of solar power approaches Infinity. Not because it's cold, but because they rely on sunlight.

On the basis of system output according to natural resources canada (since I'm somewhere that gets hot and cold), solar system output in December is about 50 kWh/kw, compared to 125kWh/kw in July. Moreover, on an ideal day, electricity production from a solar farm looks like a bell curve that starts when the Sun first peaks over the horizon, peaks at whatever the local noon is, and ends as the Sun starts to drop below the horizon again.

The primary drivers for variability of electric loads tends to be both heat and cold. Therefore, often the annual peak loads occur on the hottest days of summer, usually in july, or the coldest days of winter, usually in January. The coldest hours of the coldest days tend to be in the middle of the night when there's no sun, meaning that the need for heat is at its highest at that point.

If a bunch of this stuff seems like Fox News propaganda.... Then it doesn't matter what channel you're watching, it's time to pull yourself away from the television and go outside.

It's also going to need almost a global rethink of what such things look like. You can have six political parties if you want, but that doesn't really solve the problem...

Forget about 33% trans -- almost 20% bio female? I call hax

This is just something I came to realize. it's why downtime is critically important when you're learning something, because when you stop working on it your brain doesn't stop working on it.

DST is proof the government doesn't work for the people because of policies could be implemented, ending DST is more popular than free blowjobs but nobody is even considering it.

My dad loves them, but often throws Linux on them too...

I've got an arm Chromebook running Debian sid. Pretty neat.

It's safe to say it isn't 2 sides. Many Rs are nuts, most Ds are nuts.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 7 times wtf dude it's an experimental vaccine not a bloody narcotic

I feel like it's time to try a bunch of new hobbies since that's all most of these businesses are to him

Yes. It's a demeritocracy, the more incompetent the more rewards

That's unfair. There's the fact that it's name is snake backwards is kinda neat.

Look.... Canadas in a bad place right now...

Imagine being the poor bastards getting paid top dollar to 3d model anthropomorphic cat buttholes. Months of your life you'll never get back just modelling cat buttholes. And then they cut the buttholes from the film.
