  • One fuckhead fucked over another fuckhead, and now the first fuckhead is getting paid.

    The cost might make it less viable for one of the fuckheads to be a fuckhead going forward, so instead of two fuckheads we will just have one fuckheads.

    It's one scoop of fuckhead instead of two scoops of fuckhead, so a net win, but still one too many fuckheads around.

  • The article is paywalled, but i would guess her info showed up in various "have i been pwned" databases, showing the same bad password for different sites over the course of years.

  • Looks like they planted a lovely tulip laden walking path 4 years ago. Walking down it helps keep their anger in check from shitty work meetings.

  • Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don't touch them and don't know what they are.

  • Wired, wireless. A flared base is the actual key.

  • Dont worry. Most of those will burn down, leaving plenty of room for houses to be built to the new requirements.

    Best case is enough houses get built to this standard and intermixed into those neighborhoods to give a type of "herd immunity" from fires moving house to house. Hell, even a good bulwark of these in a line facing the forest might do it.

  • Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

  • Holy fuck. Red truck, pale fuck, blue truck. Red, white and blue.

    His profile pic is a flag.

  • Sounds like they are almost ready to go for most US requirements then. Some voltage tweeks and a plug change and we got something cooking.

  • The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren't local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

    Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

    That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

  • US utilities often have anti islanding rules, so power is not allowed to be fed back into the utility without specific equipment designed to stop power flowing back when the grid is down.

    Is this part of german systems, or is it simplified?

  • Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a "simple" end user experience if you set it up for them.

    Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

    They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

  • They sold to private equity a couple years back. The enshittification started that day.

  • Nah, hes already making exceptions left and right while reaching out to China to start talks.

    Stores have a 7 week lag from basically now before they run out of goods. He will have folded in every meaningful way by then. There will be a lot of tough talk and basically very little accomplished.

  • D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent "no one to fool with" category.

    Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

  • How many 4000MW nuclear power plants have been stood up in the last 10 years? What is their total generating wattage/dollar?

    To give you a hand, none have been built in the US in that time. The closest ones are the Vogel powerplants in Georgia, and each of them is just 1200MW. They were also something like 17 billion over budget and 7 years late. Local residents are facing a permanent extra $15/month fee just to pay for building them.

    Now look at solar. We stood up a 1400MW Gemini solar plant in Nevada in 2 years from paperwork to inception, at a cost of 2 billion dollars. It includes solar and batteries. It won't give you 24hr steadystate, but properly built, you could indeed make it run "24/7" at 1000MW by adding about 16hr of battery and 2x-3x the panels. This would still cost less and be built way, way faster than even 1 Vogle nuclear plant.

    Commodity solar and battery are here and already beating solar while their tech just gets better. Why would we build antiquated, large nuclear plants at this point at all?

  • There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as "small" and dense as an aircraft carrier.

    Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

    It is wacky that "hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go" is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

  • 100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

    Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

  • That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is "pushed" by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it's got plenty of juice.
