What are your qualifications to say that?

How does that work when the buyers have already paid?

Why would it be fun? What do you think could be accomplished?

As a guy who does HVAC as a hobby, this post is hilarious, nobody should take it seriously.

I can see exactly where the practical experience would be invaluable.

> To produce a watt of electricity using natural gas actually produces less CO2 than a watt from solar that far north

What about the watt after that? I still got the solar panel for that next watt, and with natural gas I have... well I don't have anything, I need more natural gas!

> This is bad in that when the battery malfunctions, the energy is released at 30x the rate

Got a study you can link about that?

Hmm it says my ASN has 512 IPv4 addresses, as the guy who filled out the paperwork for that from ARIN and got a /24 (256 addresses) afterwards, I think this has some major bugs.

Oh and it doesn't even properly consume the geofeed information I have published.

It's SolarOS 4 --a pretty well-layered joke.

RIPE keeps this https://ris.ripe.net/docs/mrt/#name-and-location

from the last rental I had, they're not good at that.

That doesn't seem right at all, since my phone doesn't have tethering plan and I can still use CarPlay.

Cool, I don't. iPads are so useful for drawing, and I hate having to use a terminal app on an iPad.

Different horses for different courses.

We can't build a TV from 50 years ago, much less a space rocket.

Because we stopped, we get to do everything over again with hardware from this century.

Wai how is it weaker, like genuinely?

> and if there were it would be accused as being fake and a ploy from American enemies to discredit them.

Yeah so, the soviets were pretty good at dodging things like that:

At the time they were ~57,000km out and I calculated it was at least 380ms RTT to the ground receiver, so bad but not unusable.

I don't think you understand how a swiss cheese failure happens. They're not independent or semi-independent. Latent failures, expose active failures, like:

"Committed hard to an assumption that was wrong"

Then causes damage to the seawater pumps along the shoreline, and flooded emergency diesel generators.

That causes total loss of AC and DC power.

Loss of AC and DC power causes the reactor to overheat.

Except that there are a LOT of people that want to work in video games (which is the supply) which then depresses the price (wages)

All of my developer friends in the gaming industry have had far worse working conditions then what I've had.

I may have a positive personal opinion of the GDPR, but I ignore all GDPR requests for the website I have that you can just visit, because I don't want to be seen as doing business that makes me subject to GDPR

I live in the present, and not the past, so I'm not sure what your argument is here.

The speed of light doesn't lie, IP addresses don't have any sort of physicality.

> "we don't want IP's from Frankfurt showing up somewhere in Dubai"

From a network perspective statements like that make no sense. IP addresses don't have any sort of physicality,

> That's the same argument people made about Twitter. "If it goes bad, we'll just leave." We know how that played out.

Yeah, it played out with my whole social circle leaving, as evidenced by the fact that all my friends link me to the bluesky post whenever there's something happening now.

Picture tubes started round, and then became rectangular:

They didn't really have the problem of picking an aspect ratio because motion pictures existed and that was already 4:3

20MWh is around what my house used in both 2024 and 2025.

CDs can oxidize in the span of decades. I've got hundreds of burned CDs that are from 2003 that are fine (even if they have changed color) because i store them in a climate controlled environment.

A vinyl record degrades every time you play it in a normal turntable.

It was several years after first time I heard this that, that i realized that #3 was an impression of Archie Bunker with: "Edith, get me a beer, huh.", "oh jeez look at this" and "oh who's got the terlit paper."

I have several that are not rackmount (SU1000XLCD/SU1500XLCD), and they're all loud because they run fans constantly.

People spent a whole decade complaining about the iPod dock -> Lightning change.

I'd wait to blame the EU also.
