  • This is another argument for having city run groceries. Can ensure that the food there isn't complete trash and also as locally sourced as possible. Don't even need to sue them, just put them all out of business because of their own greed. Worst case scenario they lower prices to compete.

  • I usually agree with this point but it does create an awkward spot for museums with a lot of international exhibits. Like, you did a colonialism, stole my peoples stuff, brought it back here, and are now charging me extra to see it? Idk how you get around that, except maybe returning the stuff I guess.

  • Yeah I had a class once where the exams were always just slightly modified versions of some of the homework questions. So if you were confident you could understand and complete all the homework you knew you'd be fine on the exam. It actually caused some people to study more since they felt like there was a more 1:1 between study time and exam success.

  • I'm guessing the same reason people don't always reroof their own house, or replace their own home electrical, or build their own bike. Sometimes it's worth spending money to avoid doing a thing you either don't want to or don't know how to do. As I've gotten older and more financially secure that's definitely been the case with me at least

  • I agree you'd want it, but I'd argue there's a case to be made for skipping it. Go look up the current interconnection queues. You could save yourself a ton of headaches by just skipping that. Enough to account for the lack of sales you're describing? Maybe not. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Plus you'd open up all kinds of land procurement opportunities that would save you a crazy amount as well. Transmission infrastructure is expensive and painful these days. Transformer lead times are measured in years and prices are crazy. If you could skip all that and get the land cheap? Idk man I think it'd pencil

  • Hmm maybe something like this: Since most of this fast charging need will be on long trips we want these in highways not in cities where people will be doing more slow charging at home/destination or would be more willing to stop for a bit to eat/explore. So we find a big open area off the highway and install a solar/bess plant. The bess charges all day but doesn't connect to the grid (no interconnection requests yay!) it just charges it's local bess. The bess is then used to power the charging stations.

    Yeah I think that could work. No interconnects, no transformers, cheap land. Seems like a no brainer.

  • Do you know what power stations feed your electrical circuit? Do you know which transformers are most critical to keep you in service? Do you know who manufactured them?

    Do you know where your water comes from? Which facilities treat it? How it's treated?

    Can you name your senators, house rep, state senators, state rep, and local officials?

    Everyone can't know everything. I doubt you do, but I wouldn't call you a fucking idiot for that. I would call you a fucking idiot for being such a small-minded asshole though. You're not the smartest person in the room, and even if you were, you still wouldn't understand how 99% of human technology works. We're in this together and we lean on each other. That's the beauty and curse of being human

  • It gives the populous more 'room' to intercede. Basically, a normal person at a cafe feels they have some permission structure to stand up to ice, after all, the governor and the mayor told them to. So they aren't rebelling, they are helping uphold the law. I think things like this actually goes a long way in moving the general public. At the very least it doesn't hurt

  • I had to make my own salsa when I lived in the UK. I couldn't find a single one with any flavour. Granted, I lived in a city without a car so my reach was only a mile or so for groceries/eating out, but still.

  • All due respect mate as an American socialist who spent the past couple years living in the UK I'm not convinced y'all are in a much better position. I'm sure the community would be welcoming (as would many communities in the states) but I feel like the UK is sitting on the knifes edge ATM and could go either way. And if it goes authoritarian it may do so even faster than the US just due to the nature of how the countries are constructed. Obviously any port in a storm but if I'm looking to flee authoritarianism the UK isn't at the top of my list. Wishing y'all the best of luck over there

  • Mate I don't have any love for the democratic party but when one side decides to do a fascism and you call yourself a centrist then you're enabling fascism. Or at least admitting you'd like some light fascism. You can be independent without being centrist

  • For some people 'fun' is the primary reason they play games. If they aren't fun, they better have a whole lot else going for them. Personally I play games to unwind, so any type of 'frustrating' is a hard no from me. I get plenty of that in my day job. But not all games need to be for me and that's fine. I just wish people could understand that not all of us are looking for a 'sense of accomplishment' from playing a video game. I get that some people value that, great, stop acting like everyone needs to be the same

  • Blows my mind that the solution for so many things is just 'try not to make it worse while your body does magic' Broken bone? Stop moving it and wait. Cold? Drink water, sleep, and wait. Cut? Cover it up so it's not actively bleeding, and wait. Even in modern medicine were still letting the body do the heavy lifting, just trying to help it out where we can. No wonder diet and exercise are such good preventative measures
