Yes during ~100 days a year solar is currently unviable... In Svalbard.

Germany is so cheap with Solar+Wind+Batteries now, it i rapidly killing coal.

Do yourself a favor. Rent an EV with 300 miles+ of charge and make that trip back and forth. Come back, tell us how it went. I can guarantee you that you are full of shit and projecting stuff that isn't true.

While you are at it, might as well increase the fuel efficiency to 100 mpg equivalent.

So they slipped, fell, and dragged the anchor through the seabed on accident. For several hours. Multiple times.

It's like how my sisters ex-husband just accidentally slipped, fell, lost all his clothes and then happened to stick his dick into another woman multiple times, too. Whom also happened to be nude at the time.

Credibility: Zero.

While I do agree with you, the office does have some advantages. I believe coming in once or twice every week is healthy.

At the same time I see no reason why you should come in every day, or even every other day. Right now though, with housing being the mess it is, it is going to take a while to see where the new hot seats of innovation show up. We will still see some office work, this is unavoidable.

Frameworks are useful once your team grows to 4+ people - at that point it is much easier to bring newcomers up to speed with a framework, and much easier to help other projects that use the same framework.

So, no, there is zero reason to switch over the projects to a framework for the projects themselves; but there might be merit to do it for your contracting biz ðY(TM)

> Politicians defunded actual fire fighting capabilities to shift money to fund DEI initiatives

If you dig deeper you will find the money went o more oil drilling, not DEI.

It is interesting to see how Americans just flat out refuse to let go of the concept of race, choosing instead to embrace fascism, racism and a much bigger poverty gap over freedom, equality and Brotherhood.

So... Congratulations, you just voted to make the land of the free the land of the sheep. Hope you are happy ðY(TM)

I am asking why it even matters in the first place whether the creator of a video game choose to have a bimbo with a DD rack (Lara Croft) or a person belonging to the LGBTQ+ crowd as the protagonist of a video game.

Why is it ok with a video game with Tifa Lockhart, Chun Li or Princess Peach (or, for that matter, Duke Nukem) as a protagonist, but not a Transperson or a homosexual person?

And obviously you are upset over this. Why would you otherwise spend the energy to type the above post?

The fact you feel the need to object to a main character being gay or trans or, heaven forbid, a 50-something grandma, just for the sake of it, no point really except they felt like putting it in there - that says a to about you as a person.

Why does this upset you? How are those artistic choices any different than putting a plumber as the main hero, or a 20 something female with a gun that has the ability to open wormholes, or a female archaeologist whose main defining characteristics are their DD sized chest?

Why do these "woke" characteristics upset you and not say, the fountain scene in God of War or the fact that you can be a complete psycho in Postal, or...

My point is, there are a hundred different reasons to be mad at a hundred different artistic choices in video games. How is a gay protagonist in Assassins Creed ruining that game for you?

The games does not tell people that "boys should be girls". They merely state that SOME human beings have been misclassified as boys / girls.

This should be about as controversial as saying that slaves are not stupid animals but real thinking, breathing human beings and no human deserves the treatment slaves usually get.

Detroit can no longer compete in China, where car sales are collapsing. Europe is same thing look at the Norwegian market for a precursor on what will happen there, and, frankly, in all parts of the world.

The green new deal was an attempt to get Detroit off ICE cars since they are about to get as popular a transportation method as horses are today.

You criticize it for going too far while in reality it wasn't even near far enough.

In theory Arm is more efficient.

In practice Zen 5 is currently beating the snot put of Apple in perf per watt right now.

So...

Once EVs hit 5% of the new car sales, they will explode in sales.

Once car fleet hit 15%, gas stations will start disappearing and concentrate to the highways and mayor cities. In rural areas people will go more and more electric as they need to drive further and further to a gas station. Who want to drive to the neighbouring town just to fill up on gas?

After that it is only a matter of time before the last gas station in the country go belly up. Walmart will still sell it in canisters for 5x-10x current price, but there will not be any economy propping up large refineries any more.

All this will happen within 15 years from the 5% EV sales figure. So, buying a new ICE vehicle today is simply stupid, you are getting the junk value and that is it once you are done with it.

Your money though!

The reason Tesla will not build a regular EV below 30k, is for the same reason Apple will not release an iPhone below $400. There are just too many customers buying their more expensive products, there really is no need to go lower.

Actually, it has everything to do with NAT.

See, back in the day, you didn't get a home IP address. You got an entire /24, then that got down to /28 and finally /30 network as more and more people got internet access.

These days everything is hidden behind a NAT. Which is stupid really because you are supposed to own a network, not a single address.

Let's see when, and if, we will ever get IPv6 and get rid of NATs completely. My bet is we'll have IPv6 once Fusion power enters mass production.
