Sharing is always better.
I said I use solar, just think the panels are ugly on a roof. That's subjective also, it's not the reason I don't have them, cost is.
Windmills are useless because of the amount of maintenance, the resources/carbon used to make them, lack of recyclability (huge blade graveyards), and most importantly, it's not a base load. Them being ugly is just the cherry on top. They are useless when you could just use nuclear.
Yeah you keep wanting to bring it back up though, it wasn't unprompted, the GP mentioned EV and range. I was giving a duality example of owning both vehicle types. You focused on the CT for some odd reason. As did another person.
A few select spots for nuclear would be ideal ofc.
No I don't buy things based on whether they are "ugly" or not.
Solar panels don't make any financial sense in my scenario, would take half of their lifespan to break even on the energy savings.
But yeah tastes are different. Personally I find the CT to be a cool look overall, albeit different, so I get why you are so fixated on them.
That's the point of open source, sharing the knowledge.
We'll all make the same shit over and over if noone shares.
But if we all share, then the only thing left to make is the unknown.
It's the equivalent of 100 radio towers crowding the area. Kind of takes you out of nature.
And I don't have a CT because it's pretty. I have it because it's functional and so fucking cool.
Feels like a space ship and I love it more than my ICE truck.
And yeah, realized that would be downvoted. Fun to break the bubble here with other opinions though.
1. I support nuclear, really stupid not to use anything else. Blame politicians and the hippies.
2. Yeah wind imo is useless, and it's more than 2 dozen. Quite high, I don't think comparing kills to the top predator is a win. Also windmills are in raptor's paths, generally cats don't eat raptors. Noisy and ugly too.
3. Solar is nice, will use it as aux, but panels and batteries don't come close to a propane generator. Different use-cases.
4. I own a cybertruck and a trailboss, but it's Texas, can't really speak to cold weather ev experiences.
5. Owning an EV I know how they work, anxiety no issue, just hop free SCs and enjoy the ride.
Bonus: Garage doors can look stupid if it's the entire front of the house, like those mcmansions, but can be subtle with a long ranch house for example.
Solar panels always look awful on a roof.
I think the propaganda would be whatever said we're all against it, that's untrue. We just want both, no gas bans.
Yes it was more whimsical, yes I miss it, but no point talking about it anymore, that part of life is over.
Been doing this for 20 years.
I have less dev energy as an adult and dad, but I know what I want and how to make it.
All of my ideas I'm able to make not only a proof of concept but an entirely polished app, all thanks to AI.
I wouldn't say it's more or less fun than coding manual, apples to oranges, but it's certainly entertaining.
It was also perplexing when Iran was shooting missiles at their allies, until you realize they aren't rational humans.
Personally I think I would want to hear once in my life, even if it meant a potentially shorter life.
I'm glad the Trump admin prioritized this.
Love quiet documentary type things in that scenario.
Bonus if there's a lot of episodes.
I can understand for mouse/kbd input though.
you get really good at hitting either the 4/5 while holding those down to take a pic/vid.
personally win+shift+s is too bunched together, less comfortable to hit.
Pretty sure cats love climbing things, and stairs are no different.
Personally I buy IMI 5.56 ammo because it's cheap and good quality.
I'm more concerned about civilians access to ammunition vs the government. I have no doubt they'll be able to get what they need.
They have NO information in it, purely speculation.
> The U.S. lacks enough munitions to support its war plans if a protracted conflict with China, Russia or North Korea arises.
But no actual amounts or anything mentioned, just supposing.
Not that I expected anything more from WSJ.
they are essentially looking head on at it.
that may work for business class, but not economy.
privacy filters aren't magic.
At most they could see domains, ip addresses, timestamps, and http-only sites (are there any left?)
But the person sitting next to you can see everything.
I've never paid for hotel wifi and never will, but I don't mind an ad on the captive portal.
About the same work as filling out a hotel wifi login.
So yes, you'll be more pissed if someone violates the contract with you vs never having one in the first place.
Never said that, learn to read.
All schools were doing it until several years ago.
But noone can even read now so moot point...
Not defending the company in any other regard nor do I even like social media platforms, would rather have forums only again as a society.
Feel free to continue to follow me around and perform bad takes, it's funny.
I truly think he's schizo.
