Only the left believes in censorship is not objectively true. The Nazis burned books. More recent administrations have banned the words climate change. Books are regularly removed from libraries by right wing administrations.

I can find you many, many cases that demonstrate your claim (only the left believes in censorship) is false.

I don't think anyone knows that, given it's news from the past couple days.

What you are saying is objectively false, uselessly partisan, and shows both an obvious and tragic misunderstand of both recent and collected history.

I do not know what your information diet is like, but if you would like help, I'm sure folks would be willing to talk and listen.

Try to have a rational and calm discourse about trans folks on X. You will necessarily need to compare the lived experiences of trans people and people who are not trans, which will probably result in you using the prefix "cis" (which is the literal opposite of the prefix trans). You will get moderated for doing so.

X is a deeply partisan website. It actively censors leftist viewpoints. So it's not surprising it would skew rightward.

This effect is self reinforcing, if you are leftish, and you are in a tightening space, why would you stay?

Yes. Building apathy erodes democracy.

HN does too. It's a standard moderation practice.

Elon has been pretty actively removing speech from X he disagrees with. Thats just objectively true.

And he's been obviously. And objectively deeply partisan outside of X. The OP's supposition that he'd be partisan on X in the run up to an election is a fair and reasonable one, independent of what Jack did.

You're a gem, lol.

Good advice for a large corporation. Terrible advice for an individual.

The more powerful the institution the greater the transparency.

Ok, but if you put 15 amps of solar on your hypothetical circuit, which is 3-5 panels, you would not trip the 20A breaker.

Then someone puts two space heaters at the end of their branch circuit, they could easily exceed 20A without tripping the breaker and without straining incredulity.

And you are right, 40A was a silly choice, I figured bigger numbers made it more obvious the problem. But it's not hard to construct a likely example on a 20A circuit either.

I've made you mad, sorry that calling them pervert glasses hurt your feelings.

Are you in the UK, perchance?

In the UK you typically make a ring circuit. In the US you make branching circuits.

In the US you get: Mains -> Breaker -> Outlet 1 -> Outlet 2 -> Outlet 3.

In the UK you get: Mains -> Breaker -> all outlets -> Breaker

In the US, assume I had 65A of load on outlet 3 -- I've plugged in too many things into a surge protector. Assume a bunch of solar panels are on outlet 1.

The the diagram looks like: Mains -40A-> Breaker -40A-> Outlet 1 -65A-> Outlet 2 -65A-> Outlet 3

Now, the breaker won't trip because only 40A are crossing the breaker. But 65A are on the wire between outlet 1 and 2 and between 2 and 3.

I wonder what makes you so angry and tilted?

Do you have these glasses and it makes you upset that you are perceived as a perv? Do you work on perv glasses? It's very surprising to respond so strongly to white knight for an obviously creepy escalation of surveillance and recording technology.

Ok, for those models, strike concern number one.

Unless you have five of them. Which people will absolutely foolishly do.

Yes, there are serious safety concerns. Both islanding, which is where a circuit is hot when it shouldn't be, and from a circuit overload.

Your circuit breaker protects your circuits by putting all the load (eg your microwave) on one side, and your supply (mains power) on the other. If too much load is present, the circuit breaker trips.

However, plugin solar puts invisible supply on the load side, which your circuit breaker cannot see. Let's make an absurd example so you can see what the problem is, then scale it back.

Imagine someone buys 5 panels that can each supply 5amps. They plug them into outlets on a 40 amp circuit. They then proceed to run their toaster, microwave, vacuum, and hair dryer. They can draw 65 amps through the wires before the circuit breaker trips. (40 from mains, 25 from the panels)

Let's say they had a good electrician who installed 6AWG wiring on that circuit, which is rated for 50 amps. The circuit breaker used to trip at 40, so no problem. But now up to 65 can go across the wires and suddenly you are exceeding rating for wires.

Now you might say, "most of these are 3.5 watts, and they clearly say don't use more than one". But I say that's a "good intentions solution". We should make it mechanically impossible to do the wrong thing. Maybe these panels could try to communicate over the electrical wires, and if they detect a signal from another panel they should self limit. Maybe we need to rethink circuit panel design. But as it stands people will absolutely buy one of these, decide they love it, and then buy 4 more.

There's a big difference between hidden spy cameras and trying to hide recording with a giant rectangle of a phone.

Name three.

They likened tattoos to sneetches -- people who adorn themselves to fit in. Most tattoo havers are similar to me, and this person seems to be making a broad generalization about most tattoo havers.

Some people have allergies to some inks. You definitely want to check with your artist and check what inks they use before getting a piece. There's still an outside shot that you'll end up with an allergy, which can be made worse with sun exposure.

It's a risk. A very small one. You gotta figure out your tolerance for risk.

They will always be pervert glasses. They might also be cool non pervert glasses, but you cannot make them safe in a way that prevents them from being pervert glasses.

I think your smugness is unwarranted. Some people get tattoos on a lark, and grow out of their meanings and eventually remove them. Some people think long and hard about their tattoos and they become personally commissioned works of art.

I have two gorgeous sleeves with deep meaning, that I put hours and hours of pain in to. But they are for me. I love the art, I love carrying that art. I don't care about how they scan to others.

It has nothing to do with being cool or fitting in.

This poster must be AI.

Scale matters. Stealing all humanity's collective output and stealing one movie to watch one time are very different. Knocking down one hornets nest and spraying a whole city with DDT are very different. Cutting a tree and clear cutting are very different.

Take a moment and try to understand before you construct such obviously silly and banal statements.

Surely there's a dozen free spreadsheets that do this?

The concept of virtue signaling should probably be renamed to "in-group signaling". The idea is that this person is signaling they support Trump. So, I guess, maybe loyalty is the virtue they are signaling.

"Pro tip, you can generate soulless slop to avoid supporting your fellow humans" is not a very compelling case.

It's ok to have simple tastes! You do you!

I've commissioned tons of art, and one of the great joys is the surprise at how they interpret your idea, and how it's always different than what you had in your mind. That joy is unique to commissioned art, I think.

It's generous of you to license your work for anyone to use. Not everyone did. AI, without a doubt, stole from people's work.
