No one hates the USA more than US Americans, but we also unite against foreign hostility, it’s like an exclusive club for self haters. So I’m sure the world views us in much the same way. Just from looking around and seeing the Trump flags coming down, it appears a significant portion of his past supporters are realizing that they made a mistake or are at least a little hesitant to proudly display their support.

I would say Trump has a hammer and every problem is a nail, but he’s not sure what a nail is or how to use a hammer so he just goes around hitting things with the wrong side of the hammer. So now everyone else thinks they all of the USA doesn’t know how to use hammers.

Don’t confuse United States with Trump. Trump would risk it

Yes ladies we all know why you have the super duper pulsating adjustable pressure shower heads.

No shame from me. Just pointing out that a >30min shower costs money and a vibrator is $50ish plus batteries. Just saying

Yep, I’m sure this video is fine but not clicking the video and click bait with a click bait title.

The News is now 99% blatant click bait or subscription teasers. I think it’s important to educate people on click bait, it seems so obvious to me but I get the impression that a lot of people don’t know the difference. Usually when I do click on click bait is because it’s something that I probably would have clicked on anyway.

When I’m using a News app I have to be strategic in what I click on otherwise I’ll suddenly get inundated with junk or ads disguised as News because I accidentally tapped on something.

It’s optimized for gaming and you can install a lot of standard Linux apps. But it only works on specific hardware like the Deck and Legion at the moment, the Frame and Machine should be running their versions. A lot of things that come in a standard Distro for PCs have been removed that you might take for granted. I like to think of it as a balance between PC and game console, remember when you could side load Linux onto a PS3, sort of like that.

I use my Deck in desktop mode and connect it to my TV for web browsing, Steamlink to my tower and occasionally use the Libre apps, but I wouldn’t recommend using it as your daily PC. It doesn’t exactly feel like a fully fleshed out PC, hard to put a finger on it until you use it.

I don’t think I have ever been asked for my GPA or school transcripts. Usually they just check to see if I graduated.

If you for a corporation then yes, your job is to make someone else rich. If you don’t like it then start your own business and hope it doesn’t go tits up. You can also try to become internet famous but that’s hard if your parents aren’t already well off.

Adult hood and responsibility is rough. Good luck young dude.

Don’t confuse it with wicked hot

I do agree, if we remove the problem then there’s no need for the solution. If we didn’t have to worry the sudden expansion of electric vehicles and large data centers. But would we not be exchanging one problem for another? A lot of cities were not built with future public transportation in mind so building railways and bus routes then changing how people travel might be just as hard as getting electricity from rural areas.

I also agree that the farmers would plant another crop. But covering the land with solar panels is just impractical. The reason these farms are located where they are is because turning it into biofuel crops is easy, inexpensive, and the land probably isn’t worth doing anything else with. Turning it into food crops would depend on climate and demand.

Either way, as a society, we have several immediate problems and you’re right there isn’t one way to solve them. I just felt that tiny patches of land spread out all over the world would generate enough power and get it to where it needs to be for everyone to have electric cars just seemed like a silly idea when there’s much simpler and faster ways to get power where it’s needed the most.

Especially since I’m an electrical engineer that works for a company that specializes in energy management, building controls, and engineering sustainablility into buildings. So I’m actively working on these things that are theory to most of the people here.

Ok change it to transparent solar. I was half asleep

They’re right, in the sense of square acres.

Get ready for a rant.

Except it doesn’t work that way and it isn’t that simple, the article pokes a big hole in its own argument in the second sentence, the world, it’s spread out across the world. The crop land used for biofuel is hundreds or thousands of miles way from where the electricity would need to get to. The farmers would have nothing to farm and they would have to give up or lease their land to electric companies or the government. The entire infrastructure for utilities and farming would need to be torn down and rebuilt, it wouldn’t be practical for at least 2 generations once construction started, in that time we could be using a completely different form of fuel making solar obsolete.

The problem isn’t where to put panels but how to get electricity to the electric cars that are thousands of miles away from the farms and the farms are many miles from each other. Plus biofuels will never go away and we’ll need significant quantities for at least another hundred years.

Use old landfills or old quarries or building rooftops, they’re a lot closer to the cities. Why not use the windows of the buildings for thermal energy transparent solar. Why not use the energy from our heating and cooling and plumbing systems to generate electricity. Plus we can do them all at the same time, it doesn’t have to be one or the other, put a windmill and solar panels and thermal on the same rooftop. Put steam turbines everywhere.
