Yeah, that sounds pretty bad.

I imagine as we move to renewables, a lot of places are gonna have similar situation. Maybe not as bad, but I don’t know what the situation with the taxes there is.

There’s a fixed cost associated with having the infrastructure that maintains a wire from consumer to producer functional, if you’re not paying for electricity, you’re paying for all the transmission lines and other hardware.

I can’t imagine any grid making it profitable for people to sell power to it, sounds like a nightmare to try and balance load with random home setups bumping it up and down, but a fully self-sufficient solar home could probably eliminate all costs but maintenance for the grid connection, if you want backup to solar.

If it’s homework, the teacher has to grade multiple classes with 30-something students in them, so they probably ran on autopilot at that point.

…equally likely, they had a laugh but this is not an acceptable way to answer it. Most likely done by the dumbass “funny” kid in class who already tired them out.

Ozempic and the like also affect impulse control (and a whole lot of other stuff, the health effect research is technically ongoing).

So if you’re on it you don’t feel the desire to snack, it helps you moderate yourself, and I guess it stands to reason it would lower the impulse to drink too.

Though I’m just guessing here, take this with a grain of salt.

Mint because I just want it to work. Although after fiddling with my Steam Deck, I’m now wondering if I should give Arch a try.

It is way too expensive for me, and the keyboard only supports the english layout which is a no-go, but damn do I want one.

Same situation with all the fancy split keyboards - they have 10 buttons per row, my layout needs 12 buttons per row.

Ah, I see.

Thomas Was Alone, The Fall, Rumu, To The Moon, Stanley’s Parable, Toem, Primordia, Turing Test, The Entropy Centre, Subnautica, Bioshock 2, Portal 1/2.

Though honestly any game with good story would probably count here.

I don’t get it, what’s the pun?

He also said later that it was to try and get a better look at the bomb.

Yup. As Atlas puts it:

These sad saps. They come to Rapture thinking they’re gonna be captains of industry, but they all forget that somebody’s gotta scrub the toilets.

Ryan likes to talk about “the chain” and being in control, but he also used and discarded his associates and the moment he was no longer in absolute control, he started murdering people and using pheromones to mind-control splicers.

Man, remember when trying to share a link to an image from a site would give you a super tiny “no hotlinking” gif?

Why would people having a long holiday be an issue in the first place?

…funnily enough, it may actually be better for musicians if people left spotify, considering the absolute pennies they pay per stream.

All will be crabs. Riding on trains, of course.

For a moment I thought this was ProgrammingHumour and a funny response to calling someone’s code undocumented.

Then I read the full post.

Tooth enamel is ~5 on mohs scale. Quartz, the most common kinda rock (afaik), is ~7. You’re correct that enamel is harder than steel though, since it’s ~4? Disclaimer: all of these numbers are from a quick google search.

Fun fact, this is why we know ancient people used to make bread - the way they separated wheat from the chuff included dropping it on the ground, which led to sand being in the bread and consequently destroying their teeth over a lifetime of eating it.

It’s not a “no one asked you”, but it is an idiom. As you can probably guess, it means more “don’t help people working against your interests”.

So, you’d say something like that to a pro-ICE minority person, for example.

Well, rocks in toothpaste would be very bad because they’d be harder than your teeth.

There’s fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there’s not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It’s slow.
