it’s unfortunate many local utilities in Texas actually punish for solar. It’s a good thing off grid solar and battery storage is really coming down in price.

we haven’t even hit our hottest month and yet and this week alone the grid hit an effective 100% utilization rate and was only saved by asking manufacturers and crypto miners to shutdown. Toyota has to close their plants by 2pm. That’s pret

The simple answer is simply because of the physics of the scope, the support arms cause diffraction spikes. The hubble has them too but is a smaller mirror and different support arrangement. Super common on consumer scopes such as RCs, New

Prices are dropping or being moved around. For example - amazon goods - prices haven't really changed much but its so affordable to buy at amazon because of the negligible shipping. 5 years ago it would have cost you $150 bucks to s

I find this disappointing because it basically says "anyone who works for a W2 will cause inflation if they are successful" That shows to me that capitalism is broken if success means inflation. We should be able to swim in cash r

I use PixInsight myself, but you can do a lot on photoshop and a lot of people will take the output of PixInsight to touch up in photoshop. Modern sensors are amazingly low noise. 10 years ago, I used to have to calibrate out darks, bias an

We already calculated the gravity and mapped it out. Here is a paper on some of the research: https://www.kiss.caltech.edu/papers/darkmatter/papers/the_da... What i think is pretty cool is that the gravity l

The mind blowing part is that many of those smeared galaxies are the same galaxy just "smeared" around the curvature of space so it shows up in multiple places as we perceive it since its been warped by the gravitational mass&#x

Visible light looks like this: https://www.adamblockphotos.com/ngc-3372-carina-nebula.html But that's with a telescope and long exposure & image stacking. But still in RGB as humans would see it. I guess there wou

While the JWST uses the red end of the human visual spectrum and narrow filters these objects are still broadband and can be imaged as such. Adam did an excellent job on widefield https://www.adamblockphotos.com/ngc-3372-ca

No, they weren't. By 2006 home sales were already down 10%, Homeowner ship was down in 2006 vs 2005, manufactured homes were down 11%, even apartment dweellings were down 2.4% from 2005 and new construction on apartments was down 5.9

I'm not seeing that trend. We haven't even seen down side in pricing or a full downaward trend in in new construction and most of the modern developments are doing mixed developments of retail, business and living spaces. There we

I love my kids, but at the roblox age, kids are assholes. Self Centered. Egotistical assholes. Their brains don't know any better and while you can teach them everything you could hope they learn, they have this chemical in their body

You know, from having lived through the 80s and several crashes in between I'd say what sucks today isn't the financial/jobs markets or economy but rather the people and how terrible we've become politically divisive. Th

These groups of people already have a negative discretionary spending capability, they're not going to swing the markets. The markets don't even really jive with working class/normal citizens anyway. I don't see any area

Sure, there are differences... but in the 80s, i remember people burning their houses down to collect insurance money because of things like high interest rates, high inflation and the savings and loan scandal amongst following a huge energ

Amazon recently stated they're going to run into an issue of having to re-hire people they fired/let go - the workforce isn't that diverse. The best thing that could happen to Amazon is unionization. Stability in their massiv

Netflix isn't an NFT and just because they have competition now doesn't devalue them as first mover with millions of subs.

I don't see this at all in the tech industry. Companies are actually scouting for talent. Heck, my family in service industry says anyone with a pulse is hired these days.

the only parallel to 2001 i see is crypto. The rest of tech is on pretty sound footing all things considered.

The thing is, We don’t have fewer options. We’re just exploding over with talking heads telling us we can or can’t do something.

I’ve never gone to college or had any student debt and I believe we should cancel many of the loans. I don’t know why people feel in opposition to helping people who have gone to school.

Regarding games "feeling hard" - I don't think video games would have survived and flourished so well if they were all so easy that you could plop a quarter in and just start playing. And even then, easy was in the eye of the

They’re far from stupid. They want to be a part of success and changing the world. Sure, Elon turned into Dr. Evil and took advantage of people and we have to get better at helping people realize this but they’re not morons. Teslas are awes

i dunno, sounds reasonable to me. As parents sometimes we just need to say no. And not defend that to randos on internet.
