   Permitting is a huge problem for everything, including solar and wind. The transmission lines cross a bunch of jurisdictions and get NIMBY-ed to death. The generating facilities themselves also take a long time to get through the NIMBY proc

   It's basically the only way to install Arch. The USB stick just dumps you to a root console of a Linux system and you have to do the rest. I've been using Arch since 2003 and am still salty about the loss of the text guided instal

   The rates my utility (PG&E) charges don't tell the same story. Has been going up at >4x CPI since 2014.

   CaRFG suffers from being a niche product with regulatory capture. It's even legislated that it can't be handled by the same supply chain as EPA RFG. (1) CARB should recognize that its rules aren't that different than the nati

   I mention both independently. And the point is that transport is not the bottleneck.

   I have 1 ms latency to 1.1.1.1 and a 10 gbps connection - faster than a SATA SSD - and most websites are still slow.

    I absolutely hate motion blur and depth of field, even if my computer is fast enough to render them.

    I haven't noticed loading times in many years, basically since SSD replaced HDD.

    That sounds like PG&E pricing, not SVP pricing. Anybody on PG&E should have solar panels. Hang them off your balcony if you have to. The electricity rates are astronomical. http://zlnp.net/serve/pge_rates/p

    Honestly, not really. They want the project done sooner, and McMaster is a means to that end. The supply chain team can find a better longer term vendor later.

    We directly substitute with either Beyond or Impossible ground-meat-substitute based on whatever is cheaper when we go grocery shopping.

    I'm going a step further. No grid connection at all. Uptime isn't great anyway-about 87% in July in my neighborhood.

    I feel like the premium pricing for the plant based alternative is a major problem. Personally I think they've achieved "good enough" results, but I rarely eat them because of the cost difference at restaurants. The story is

    Sortof? The chumps left behind have fewer people to help amortize fixed costs.

    Yeah it is. I hate having to have a process in my brain thinking about optimizing everything. So I bought solar panels and batteries. Now I no longer care. The grid can keep getting more expensive and less reliable without causing me grief.

    You should be allowed to build parking in Sim NIMBY. I've never heard a NIMBY oppose more parking. Heaven forbid you allow people too. The federal government needs to strengthen property rights if they want to see more housing at lower

    I just measured my Chromecast Ultra (earlier 4K model) at a wall power idle of 3.2 to 3.8 watts. Explains why it's always toasty. The Switch while charging two controllers, the TV, and the speaker bar idle at a total of 6.2 watts. I wi

    In the PG&E service territory in California, that base load will run you about $5500 annually. That's more than the property tax on my townhouse.
