translation: “dear boss, i can’t come to work today, because we have 20cm of snow”.

Wait a minute, I thought the milky way is only visible from the southern pole? Or was it the center of the milky way?

I saw a meme a while ago with three panels:

• in the first panel, insects smashing against a driving car (labeled 1990)
• in the second panel, just the driver, but no insects (labeled 2020)
• in the third panel, the driver is gone, it’s just the car (labeled 2050)

unfortunately i can’t find the meme anymore.

Just informing you: You can see the power output of PV panels by looking at the Watt number. It says something like 400 Wp (Watt peak - i.e. Watt under direct sunlight). Voltage is more or less irrelevant.

“TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT for the Earth and the secrets that lie beneath the surface” had me for a moment. great comedy, lol

young adults have been forsaken by the society in favor of “the economy” and yet another bullshit.

we need an end to economic growth on earth. we need an end to investment, to innovation, to unnecessary scarcity, to the 40-hour work week, to young people spending large part of their lives in schools. we need a social system, we need communal construction and transport, we need free education and healthcare, 20-hour work weeks for all (including adults and school-goers). we need technological prowess for the benefit of society, not for some rich greedy assholes.

IIUC, it’s variable D/C which must be regulated and/or inverted to A/C involving more hardware, conversion, and waste.

Actually, I had a discussion about this with someone who really knows this stuff recently, and we figured that the inversion process isn’t actually that inefficient. The efficiencies achieved are often >95%, so there isn’t actually a lot of loss.

billionaires are a cancer of society and need to be cut out. they think of nothing but their own growth and will damage all of the system because of it. we need to get rid of them before it’s too late.

Edit: better yet, we need policies that disencourage their behavior.

solar energy is the cheapest form of energy at this point. capitalism will drive the green energy revolution forward from now on.

I guess you should do what makes most sense to you.

There is no such moral obligation as to “have children” or “don’t have children”. The choice should be yours.
