Post breaks rule 3

Playing Dragon Age Veilguard. Just finished the first quest, and it’s a lot of fun so far.

Only read what you posted, not the longer article… I think that we should absolutely assess and evaluate the success of the program. The numbers on how many species are added, and how many are successfully removed, show that things aren’t really working.

And the cross breeding example is an interesting one. To me that seems more like a symptom: the species is forced to cross breeding because the population is too low to sustain interbreeding. Killing off barred owls is probably the wrong move.

But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Complaining about lost profits is such a slippery slope it’s not even worth discussing, in my opinion. Once a species is gone, that’s it, and no amount of profit can justify that.

So when a program doesn’t work, we shouldn’t say ‘eh, survival of the fittest,’ we should see what else we could do.

I’ve been playing the Ballionaire demo, which is pretty damn fun.

I miss good arcade racers. I don’t remember the name of them, but I remember on the Xbox or 360 there were some really fun ones where you race around cities and nice landscapes. You could just jump in with friends and race. These days any racing game I try is like a job. Oh, you want to race? First drive to the garage, pick your car, talk to the mechanic, then spend 20 minutes driving to the race track. Mario Kart is about the only fun racing game I can think of, but I’d prefer something with real cars.

Our DM, a dentist, so not in tech, used it to put together a D&D campaign, and so far it’s been fantastic.

I always have to do custom. It’s shitty, but I’m not going to lunch to subsidize someone’s pay, I just want a sandwich.

Flying cars and hover boards

Probably because there isn’t a giant mini blind lobby, and people plastering stickers all over their pickup trucks yelling about their mini blind rights.

At this point the screenshot thing needs it’s own sub

I’ve actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.

App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.

For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.

Oil demand deceleration is up in country where demand for non battery vehicles is down. China.

Yes, it’s the embarrassment that’s really important here. 🙄

That’s such a capitalist way of thinking. “The daycare down the street is never going to compete with ABC Baby Slaughter as long as their rates are higher!”

Non EV owners can’t grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.

I actually don’t think it is a deal breaker. How many 300+mi road trips does a person take? So what if it takes longer a few days out of the year?

And you can always prioritize fast charging when shopping EVs, if that’s important. We knew full well we weren’t getting the fastest charging EV when we bought ours. But, like I said, it was fine on our big trip, and really we didn’t stop more often than we usually do, even if our stops were a bit linger, and it didn’t have a negative impact.

EV owner in the US with home charger. It’s the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it’s all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I’m always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we’re supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there’s a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it’s not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don’t like about the CCS plug is that they’re so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there’s that to look forward to.

We feed them to our chickens 😝🐔
