I know it's a character flaw and I am working on it, but I definitely judge people based on whether or not they can be put to bed without a pacifier.

I think you think I am being sarcastic. Paying for illegal drugs funds criminals. If we in the US send more money to cartels than to other central American enterprises, then we shouldn't be surprised when they have all the power.

Yeah if we could just not buy drugs, the whole of Mexico and central American would be a lot nicer.

I'm not big on discrimination, but if you are going to have short Mexican banks, you should also have banks for tall Mexicans.

Ugly is a choice. We can do much better. We can also utilize the area beneath panels more wisely. Proper spacing could probably increase vegetation due to better water retention with shade.

Electric tractors! Diesel is a huge expense for farmers. Being about to produce their own energy would be huge.

Ok. I find just over 500kwh/(y*m^2) which gives a 5:1 shortfall on area. But generation does not need to be colocated with consumption.

It think it scales for industry rather better than individual use. Panels are dirt cheap, the expensive part is mounting and power electronics, both of which benefit from economies of scale.

The main drawback is availability requiring battery packs. This also benefits from scale but is still expensive. One this industry can do that individuals cannot, is schedule energy intensive batch processes to times of peak production.

I am trying, but I am really bad at the social part of social media.

Come to think of it I am also bad at the media part of social media.

As such I must withdraw my candidacy as a central personality for the cult.

All us Satoshi poors should support #zappathon by being liberal with the πŸ‘ emoji. Give the memers the affirmation they deserve.

This is Charter. They didn't bother me when I was a customer, but now that I quit their overpriced cable internet for fiber, they feel entitled to one sales call a month.

I wouldn't mind if they knew anything. All isps should be xkcd.com/806 compliant.

I can't quantify why, but even before nostr I would pass on substack links. Maybe because it felt like voluntarily climbing into a sales pipeline.
