When I signed up for Reddit AI wasn’t even a thing. Now everything I’ve ever written is being mined against my wishes to build machine that I do not wish for my information to be used to train. And I have no option to opt out, at all. This

I tried. The three times I’ve been to the theater since 2020 have been utter nightmares. People have forgotten how to be considerate in public. I won’t go into details but let’s just say that two of three times were really unpleasant, and t

Right now I’m just driving an old Toyota and don’t plan on buying another car. I expect all of this to explode at some point and resolve itself, or I’ll just keep rebuilding my old Toyota until I die. It’s a shit show. https://fo

Just install more renewable power. These idiots are literally complaining about excessive demand when they own a power company.

This is the pattern of pandemics: that they are quickly forgotten. And that they always come again.

This looks like a free version of https://rive.app/ (also free). What would you say differentiates it? And why would I pick yours over rive long term?

I’m stunned people still use AirBNB after most hosts turned their high paying customers into unpaid housekeepers.

That’s some sage advice. People are often surprised when I tell them about the insane levels of pre-diabetes in the US: > The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion notes that approximately 96 million U.S. a

This is only happening because of other structures that require removal and are killing fish in large numbers with cavitation. I believe the objects doing the mass kill off are slated for removal. This sensationalist headline isn’t helping

I just can’t agree with you anymore. I think companies that are government supported monopolies are a lot more difficult to change than those subject to competition. There’s just so little incentive to change and it’s baked into regulatory

Well there have been a few arsonists responsible tbh. But a lot of it is negligence.

Excellent reply and I apologize for not having time to give you an equally thorough response at this time as I’m slammed. It’s such a worthy reply I apologize. But the question I would ask you is whether you are any barrier to simply scalin

That’s pretty smart. Might change the dynamic somewhat if they knew there was substantive resistance. But at the end of the day it’s pretty hard to beat regulatory capture unless you start threatening the politicians.

Yea, we’ve been discussing this as an option, especially now that there are such high quality integrated controllers and batteries. It’s become viable to do this, but it’s really rough as it kind of abandons everyone else to the meat grinde

Indeed. That was the story. The reality is after all these rate hikes PG&E, which so desperately complained about their future being in jeopardy, forcing worker concessions, and undergoing a 58 billion dollar wildfire fueled restructuri

Yep. But there are more than one of them competing with one another, and that has made all the difference.

I will never buy and EV as long as I’m beholden to the tyranny of PG&E’s constant gamification of my power. They keep raising and raising prices and there’s nothing attractive about putting all my eggs in the electric basket in Califo

Unfortunately not only are there plenty of examples in the real world where this isn’t true and people are already being replaced , there’s a larger issue, and that’s the issue of the pace of improvement. People think AI technologies impro
