If capitalism has taught me anything, it’s that it won’t be used like this. There is only one way the producers of this butter would tie production to excess solar capacity, and that is if it’s the most profitable. That would require that the cost of solar + storage + transport is cheaper than using another source of energy, on demand. And that’s even assuming there’s enough excess solar to run the whole thing, and the logistics don’t get in the way of maintaining the supply chain.

Manhattan Special Espresso Soda. Diet option is available.

They want my name and email, and someone will get back to me to find a retailer? Hard pass.

TIL that was part of it as well

I did this back in the days of Smoothwall, ~20 years ago. I used an old, dedicated PC, with 2 PCI NICs.

It was complicated, and took a long time to setup properly. It was loud and used a lot of power, and didn’t give me much beyond the standard $50 routers of the day (and is easily eclipsed by the standard $80 routers of today). But it ran reliably for a number of years without any interaction.

I also didn’t learn anything useful that I could ever apply to something else, so ended up just being a waste of time. 2/10, spend your time on something more useful.

Related: JC Penney very publicly stopped pretending everything was always on sale, and just set everything to the “sale” price.

Despite the publicity of the move, sales tanked. Just a few months later, everyone involved was sacked, and they went back to pretending everything was always on sale.

This is a very old meme. It looks to be from 2019, and is just another repost by a random person (or bot) on the Internet. It has nothing to do with Epstein on any level.

This is a terrible article, conflating “parties” with any sort of socialization. Even worse is that it seems to imply “house parties”, which involve teens/young adults and binge-drinking.

On top of all that, it’s based on the question of these activities on a typical weekend. Having some time to yourself, or just having a variety in your free time, is approached negatively.

This is the correct parsing. Honda has never successfully released a BEV of their own (only rebranded one), but they did launch some major efforts to get there. So far, none have worked out, and it sounds like they’re abandoning the goal.

It is a bit strange that all of the Japanese automakers are making such a poor effort. Is there something about Japan that makes BEVs unviable? Honda and Subaru have none, Toyota only has 1, while Mazda and Nissan only have 2.

Intel’s future hasn’t been looking great, for a bunch of reasons, unrelated to Trump.

I’m not saying you should avoid it (“Be greedy when others are fearful”), but you should really make sure you understand what you’re getting into.

Watts (and gigawatts) are not a unit of energy. They are a unit of power, or you can think of it as a rate.

900 watts for an hour is 900 watt-hours, or 0.9 kWh. For 24 minutes (3 minutes x8) is 360 Wh, or 0.36kWh.

All of the major public LLM and diffusion models (ChatGPT, copilot, Grok, etc) are absolutely using more than a gigawatt. And I mean constantly. They are trying to create nuclear power plants exclusively to power an AI Datacenter. You could math out how much that is per query (not per person), but it’s absolutely insane.

It won’t officially work, but it’s not too hard to get it going. I just moved a similar box to 24H2 LTSC.

OP, you’ll probably need to run “setup.exe /product server”, or follow a recent guide. You’ll also need to do this for every major upgrade (i.e. yearly)

I agree though with the plan to use this as a test ground. I also recently upgraded a Lubuntu system to similar specs, and it runs pretty smoothly. But learning Linux takes a lot of time they don’t have.

What makes you think they won’t, or haven’t already?

Gerrymandering is an old technique, and (tragically) ingrained in US politics. The difference now is how boldly and specifically the lines can be drawn to gain an unfair advantage.

Whether or not California does it, you can count on Ohio and Florida doing their worst.

This is more of the Orphan-Crushing Machine.

This is terrible advice. Ask any urologist and they will tell you the same. OP, ask YOUR urologist about it.

Vasectomies can, in some circumstances, be reversed. You should not plan on yours being one of them. You should plan on it being permanent and irreversible.

It’s tough to predict the future. Most people don’t start wanting kids until they’re older than that, or at least until they’re in a serious relationship. Given that you did not mention one, I’m going to assume that you are unattached. Most single people in their twenties want to get laid without having kids.

You may find that a vasectomy is a complete blocker for certain relationships. However, if you truly do not want kids, those would be doomed regardless.

Will you change your mind? Perhaps. Many people’s views on the subject change as they enter their 30s. But that doesn’t mean yours will.

It might also be worth considering why you want a vasectomy right now. If you are single, you should not be hooking up with random people unprotected. If you are in a relationship, this is something that you should discuss with your partner.

The time comparison is invalid, because the repairs aren’t the same. Think about the maintenance you’ve done on ICE vehicles. Oil change, spark plugs, ignition coils? None of them have an equivalent EV repair. The ones that do (tires, 12v battery, air filter) are typically the exact same, and not worth contrasting.

Trying to compare the two will be very difficult, and rely on more abstract measurements like cost per year.

The multiple visits detail is very troubling though. It suggests the field is immature, and training/tooling are inadequate.

I specifically mentioned Les Wexner for a reason. While the public information includes an absolute ton of red flags, and it’s very likely that he bought child prostitutes, it doesn’t reach the level proof beyond a reasonable doubt. IOW, it’s unlikely to reach a conviction in court.

These people are also rich enough to drag out a court case for decades, even longer than the government. As such, they aren’t likely to take a plea agreement that’s more than a slap on the wrist and without admitting anything serious.

Legal Eagle just released a video about “the real Epstein files”. The main point they covered in the video is victim impact. The victims could be threatened and harassed because of the info.

Another point not covered is that criminal case info is typically not disclosed. Releasing a list of accused perpetrators (i.e. pedophiles/child rapists) encourages vigilante justice. It also interferes with any ongoing investigations, which should (at least in theory) still be ongoing.

I don’t want Trump to release the case info. I want his DOJ to announce charges against people like Les Wexner, based on that info. And I want it to not just be his political enemies and bullshit lies.

From what I’ve been told, the smell of BO disappears after a while. Instead, they smell like a farm animal. But they have to skip bathing long enough for that change to occur, and it gets undone whenever they bathe.

As for people saying they smell fine, as obnoxious as we are, very few people are willing to tell someone they smell like shit. Most of us will even directly lie to them to avoid the difficult conversation.

This isn’t the first time a company has used this approach. Apple users will always pay (be charged) more. I suspect the same is true for mobile users vs desktop.

But with AI being applied, there will be a TON of variables, just like your car insurance. You probably won’t even be able to identify most of them. For instance, which ISP are you using? What time of the day are you shopping?

What else does your browser fingerprint say about you? What about when they link it to Facebook, even without your knowledge or consent? Will gay people (or women, or Mexicans, or any other group) pay more?
