  • The part that pisses me off the most about this is that in states that have a very heavy amount of Renewables like let’s say California they are literally curtailing insane amounts of solar because there’s literally nowhere for them to put it.

    Meanwhile they will simultaneously say they can’t do green hydrogen because it takes so much energy and isn’t super efficient, they will also say the same thing about desalination it needs too much energy where are they supposed to get it from. Motherfucker you are literally curtailing solar constantly just fucking dump it into one of those two things who cares if it’s not the most efficient 20% efficiency is better than 0% efficiency

    (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻


  • Yes you can get the emissions per equivalent kilowatt hour of both. Especially since there are many electric generators that are just using a car engine. And it’s a known fact that at least in terms of energy generation larger motors a better conversion rate of fuel to electricity and power plant Motors are quite a bit larger than most cars. Unfortunately I only really have my phone available to me at the moment and I’m a little busy so I don’t have time for much more than these quick replies but over the next couple days if I get a moment I will come reply to this again after finding the actual figures if you haven’t already found them yourself which please do reply to this with them if you find them


  • Yes, whether your electric plant is coal, natural gas, or honestly even if it was diesel. Larger engines are more efficient than smaller ones. It’s been a long time since I broke down the math over 10 years so my information is probably wildly out of date but even 10 years ago when you broke down the math charging an EV from a fossil fuel plant of any kind was still ultimately more efficient than a gas car in the long term.

    Couple that with the ability of many EV now to also act as a battery for your house and that just goes wildly into the EVs favor if you utilize that for peak demand offset. Which many people could do easily even if it meant not having their battery fully charged in the morning when they go to leave for work because let’s face it very few people drive more than 60 miles full round trip in a day so even with their battery at say half they would have more than enough for their whole day plus extra.



  • The trick is to work for yourself instead of for someone else. This is what hobbies are for obviously those can be difficult to achieve under the current system of work for literally every goddamn fucking hour of your life other than sleep and eating but I assure you there is plenty of fulfillment to be found doing something for yourself and sometimes depending on what it is you find a passion for you can even turn it into a little side hustle job to make some extra money


  • If you don’t do Thanksgiving then this is honestly viable. Literally the only reason my big ass of an exists at this point is for a turkey because even though I got one of the probably largest countertop air fryers I could find where I can fit whole roasted chickens and do baking and other stuff it won’t fit a whole ass turkey and I don’t think I would want one that could that would be just a little bit too much counter space


  • I feel like we reached a point where you don’t need to be constantly watching the current state of it for it to matter. At this point you’re going to vote for what you’re going to vote for if you’re voting at all or if you’re even in a position to vote.

    Dealing with a constant stream of it is honestly going to do nothing productive other than just piss you off one way or another and/or greatly increase your anxiety

    Because jellyfin has less device compatibility, worse transcoding performance, and still struggles with media matching. Oh and still had memory leak issues.

    I have it installed, regularly update and test it, i want to ditch plex. But it’s just got to many basic issues. Anime matching in particular is rough and yes even after adjusting match sources some anime just outright fails till i manually match, matches incorrectly, won’t work either way.

    No it’s not the filenames. I use Sonarr, they are all very clean.

    Edit: i give up figuring out how to make this stay treed, fucking hate reddit/lemmy formatting





  • Honestly for me it’s about was the lot designed by an idiot. Large stores like Walmart and home depot are the worst offenders. If I need to park in the far out of reaches of the lot there’s never any fucking cart returns there.

    All of them are grouped up right near the fucking front of the store where it’s least needed, and then there’s nothing at the outer edges. I make sure my cart is somewhere it will not move even in strong wind, but the designers of the parking lot can go fuck themselves for not putting a cart return stall at the outer edges where it makes sense in those massive lots.

    Other stores like WinCo and costco seem to have this figured out. Cart returns at regular intervals across the entire parking lot. So no excuse not to return there



  • Jesus fucking christ. I came back to the game literally right after the nerf and i was fucking deviating enemies with the flame grenade and flame shotgun esq thing.

    Wtf is wrong with people they were bitchkng about it. Inwas on lvl 9s and basically just erasing bot drops with a single round of nade n blast. 33% is gonna be wildly overpowered… I feel like people forgot the whole fucking point of the game is to be weak, die frequently, and blast orbitals. That’s why you have so many lives ffs

    The problem is that nobody, apparently not even manufacturers anymore know how to fucking aim headlights. Headlights literally have aimer knobs and you are supposed to aim them such that they cut off just before they would blind the majority of vehicles

    I have projector LEDs and with a projector lens you can get an extremely practically knife sharp cut off and I have it literally just at the very bottom edge of most small sedan windshield lines. It’s great my headlights are bright as fuck they go all the way from the left shoulder to the right shoulder even on four lane roads but they don’t blind anybody and I’ve had friends help me test that by just kind of passing each other on the street and them saying it was fine and wasn’t bad like other people’s cars.

    At some point people started associating the height of your light with the amount of safety, it’s possible to get distance without adding height but everyone’s forgotten how that works
