I'm not going to claim solar is cheap as I see little evidence of that being the case.
That's because you have no actual evidence with anything. People who have built solar power systems know that it is.
What I do see is solar power subsidies driving spot electricity rates so low they go negative at times
You were so close to getting it.
Just to put a finer point on it, Netanyahu flim-flammed la Presidenta into using the Bunky Bustererinos on Iran by promising (1) it will eliminate Iran as a nuke threat (it won't), and (2) Netanyahu won't now make la Presidenta look like the chicken-shit that he is. la Presidenta only beats on entities that cannot fight back. la Presidenta picked up on (1) because Netanyahu promised that would be the Israeli story-line. Netanyahu needs that story-line to keep his ass out of jail.
Just think of it as the Art-of-the-Deal. Remember the title of Fran Drescher's book "Enter Whining"? la President's next "book" will be titled "Leave Whining". He never stops whining because he knows it distracts the Maggots from standing back and realizing what an easy mark he is.
Cannot trust the ministers to keep their hands to themselves.
No so much to trust them to delete it, but to trust them not to hand it over to the FOX's DoJ? Don't trust them further than you can spit a two-headed rat.
TDS? The ability to believe la Presidenta has nothing to do with it. Bezos is fairly far up la Presidenta's ass. It was launched in March, 2024. That was before Bezos decided he could horn in on whatever bullshit la Presidenta was selling. I doubt he gave an order blow it off course, but I'm willing to bet it won't bother him since now he can report the good news to his minder.
la Presidenta is above causing his regime's military to screw with the satellite in the same way a brick is above the Sargasso Sea (thanx Douglas Adams).
The thing to understand
There's nothing to understand. Just two fellows comparing their local climate. It's essentially meaningless.
That's the thinking of people who point out that the weather outside their doors is unusually cool despite global warming.
There's no way to know that's what the poster meant without asking him yourself.
When you consider six tenths of a degree increase across the roughly 10^18 kg of the troposphere, that is as vast, almost unthinkable amount of energy increase.
Yes, the Earth receives a lot of solar radiation. It's almost like we don't need to drill for oil and gas quite so much if we could just put some turbines and panel up. But that makes the wrong people rich, so that's bad from someone's point of view. Changing the political power in controlling energy in a few central places is pretty dangerous. Imagine if everyone had some solar panels and could sell a little bit of excess electricity or skip buying electricity from the grid on most days. Someone rich and powerful would cease being quite so rich.
P.S. my subject line got cut off because I kept revising it to fit then forgot to finish it (my idea was never going to fit)
Take advantage of the law by owning a bus conversion. Our bus weighs ten tons empty.
Alas, California is requiring us to smog the fucking things now, we have to do the same tests as commercial trucks, not just as often. Our rig passes easily, but it costs money and requires a trip halfway across a large county. In fact, since we hardly ever go anywhere, it significantly increases our emissions...
The tests I care about other than reliability and straight streaming read or write speed are random read/write which some cards do much better than others — I expected this for writes, but not for reads! — and how long a device can sit around unused and retain data.
TFA notes that there are application performance class ratings, but they are very particular and what I really want to know is what happens with lots of small files.
The purpose of the theater is participation in group reactions. If that's not interesting to you, by all means stay home. I enjoy it, but it's not worth the down sides of doing that with modern moviegoers, so I stay home and watch a big TV at home and eat popcorn with real butter, and pause when I want to take a piss. I have 4k and DTS at home, thanks.
Your 3-4 month wait has a significant impact on screen size, sound, and visual quality.
Screen size: True, although these days an 80" screen that you can reasonably sit close enough to in order to have a similar experience is not very expensive.
Sound: You mean I don't have to get my fucking head blown off by overdriven audio? OK.
Visual quality: The 80" 4k TV has just as many dots as the theater does, and a better contrast ratio.
Get some friends together to make the purchase and watch movies together, it will get to be cheaper than going to the theater real quick. You can buy 4k Blu-Rays instead of tickets.
What a useless article, typical msmash no-effort space filler.
We get it. AGW bad.
Nothing is accomplished by cluttering a tech site with redundant low-information threads where the audience in no way benefit from yet another piece of space filler.
Office jobs are not the only jobs, but they're the easiest to outsource.
Consider doing something whole nations worth of other humans aren't competing to do. I've never lacked job offers even in retirement because I don't seek to compete with everyone else. I avoid them instead, doing things which require me onsite to personally interact with the systems (aircraft, industrial equipment maintenance etc). Experience matters when ones interactions are more demanding than just a keyboard and mouse.
I get that physically effortless office work is desirable but the point of work is reasonably secure income including resistance to outsourcing. If you're not getting hired at what you wish you were great at, consider a job with less desperate competition.
Why do assume they will pay for anything instead of going bankrupt?
Hard time breaking rocks into gravel is real punishment. Confinement under lax modern conditions is not.
Denialism is really boring trolling. You are a penis bird's clown shoes.
The degree of technical confidence is inversely proportional to the level of management.
