Which would be a pull, not a push.

Little bit of A, little bit of B.

In China there’s a lot of big coastal cities with very little open land for development. Putting small amounts of solar onto 1000 skyscrapers vs one big ocean plant, and the additional costs of ocean maintenance start to be less significant.

Similarly, in some places there may be opportunities to align the deployment of the panels with other systems, e.g., a kelp farm or ocean fish farm where you can collocate ocean structures.

There’s likely to be lots of new challenges faced by these structures, but it’s still good to work the kinks out now with some pilot projects

This is an ego fluffer app, not a scientific study. The accuracy is “good enough” to give you a rough idea of your performance, and if youre really into optimizing WPM, give you a way to track progress or the impacts of using different keyboards.

Getting a high score doesn’t actually mean anything except you probably use your phone too much.

Yeah, I’m sure AG Gaetz will get right on that

Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or, SO: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

Not certain anything is there, but we’ve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

ETA: Maybe also “we’re going on vacation abroad, State Department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

I recognize long term relationship is different from mistress, but still

Look I want to hate on overwatch because they definitely destroyed that one in pursuit of money, but that Torb at the end sitting with his turret and getting potg hit home hard.

Probably still won’t play, but right in the feels man.

Maybe they can bring it back to fun.

Lol wut?

The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.

“Crypto” is such a vague term it’s almost comical to imply it’s private. Sure there are ways to use crypto privately, but it takes a lot of steps.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

Not trying to be a “nuclear shill”, but it is worth mentioning from the article you linked:

The 1.8 million solar panels are expected to generate up to 690 MW and they’re co-located with 380 MW of 4-hour battery energy storage (1,400 MWh).

The capacity factor of solar is something around 25%, so that 690 MW solar array (even with batteries) produces about as much energy as ~160 MW nuclear… So 7x faster, but the costs are closer than you suggest. Solar is still cheaper because the O&M costs are minimal, but pretending 690 MW solar + 380 MW battery is equivalent to 1 GW nuclear is a bit disingenuous.

“Septic safe” is a pretty loose definition, and usually means “this will not break anything” not “this will naturally break down into something that is not harmful to the ecosystem outside of your septic tank”, but it’s usually a good start

Most powdered detergents contain high amounts of salts which aren’t particularly good for anything downstream of your dishwasher.

I’m unsure of a salt-free dish detergent, but I can gleefully recommend Oasis Biocompatible Laundry Detergent for everyone, but especially anyone with a septic or greywater laundry system. It cleans great and breaks down naturally into plant food.

What do you mean this is purposely not clear? Is interpolation so hard for folks?

If you make $200k, you’re probably going to land somewhere between the $130k and $330k income levels, meaning your tax savings under Trump’s proposed plan will be between $4k and $9k, likely roughly $6.5k. For Harris’ proposed plan you’ll be between $3k and $2k, likely close to $2.5k.

Yes, the amounts aren’t linear, so it’s hard to say exactly where you will land, but also these are proposed plans, so they’re estimates to begin with. I wouldn’t be adjusting my personal budgeting off of a wish list from two people who do not control tax laws.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand from the chart that for most Americans (see, median household income $81k), Harris’s tax proposal will net more savings on their annual income, while Trump’s plan favors people in higher income brackets.

Trump’s plan will increase the national deficit because everyone pays less in taxes. Harris’ plan tries to be closer to revenue neutral by putting more of the tax burden on the top 1%.

Who you vote for is your decision, but the fact that we have a populous that can’t understand fairly straightforward tables to help inform decision-making is part of the reason why we are so fucked.

New OS is a waste of resources, but it would be great to see them embrace something like GrapheneOS

I clear them a reasonable amount away from my house, because they may not be litter but they are a fire hazard where I live. But they still get to naturally decompose in dedicated spots.

Mmm, I see, I see, so you’re voting for the only other person who could possibly win this election, Kamala Harris, right?

Ahh yes, of course, of course, so Trump to the rescue then right?
