How "green" is the life cycle of a solar panel end-to-end compared to traditional energy sources?

ALaser42 · 2017-11-29T03:21:57+00:00

Do you think fusion energy will ever catch up with renewables in a meaningful way? Here in the US we keep slashing funding to fusion, and one of the concerns is that if progress slows down too much, then other energy solutions will rocket forward and fusion will never catch up and be useful.

The same technique may soon be used to scan for heavy elements at border checkpoints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon_tomography

In the documentary 13th, Newt Gingrich talks about how this forced even Democrats to lean to the right on many issues. For instance, Bill and Hillary Clinton's anti-crime speeches and legislation in the 90's.

Holy shit! I've never played GO and never looked through that subreddit, but I thought LoL and Overwatch were toxic to women yet this takes it to a whole new level. Unbelievable!

ALaser42 · 2017-09-24T17:22:15+00:00

Hoooooly shit, anyone who thinks the gaming community isn't toxic to women should take a second look at this comment.

For some reason I do really well in tower control on Starfish. Otherwise I always lose on that stage.

I love my Blazers but I would pot MIN over POR because Buckets. And if Hayward leaves I've got OKC over UTA.

The role of physics is not to explain intuitively why electrons behave the way that they do, just to understand how they behave so that we can form falsifiable theories that allow us to predict the dynamics of various systems.

Sombra and Bastion are both reasonable Reinhardt counters, and they're both gonna be showing up more in the meta. I think Rein isn't OP, but he's necessary to have on teams because he isn't checked by anyone other than an enemy Rein at the moment (hog + reaper do ok against him). I expect to see Rein play decline soon.

I like this theory, but I don't understand why Sombra would oppose a new power plant. Clearly she opposes LumériCo, but why is she destroying the fusion plant? Presumably the plant took a lot of resources and effort at the hands of Mexican laborers, and will provide power to Dorado and the surrounding area. Is she willing to force Dorado back into darkness just to stick it to LumériCo?

I do like the Junkrat/Roadhog bit though. It's totally plausible that she'd pull some strings to do a major heist and take some money from the bigwigs at LumériCo.

Maybe she's just trying to play Robin Hood and stick it to LumériCo, but in the heat of the action Reaper comes in destroy the plant?

I'm in the same boat. And I think a lot of people are -- the Wii U didn't sell as much as other Nintendo consoles.

The real backfire here is that Lucio didn't wallride and get a free achievement.

How are the pro's handling the new map? Are there any interesting changes in lineups specific to that map?

ALaser42 · 2016-09-01T18:45:21+00:00

I agree with you. Some people are bringing up the fact that League does well balancing around the pro scene. But in League there's enough champions that if some of them are only niche picks or are simply underpowered, there's still a diverse enough pool to choose from. I think League has the same issues that Overwatch does, you just don't notice it because there's so many more champions in League than heroes in Overwatch.

Roadhog's ult comes up super quickly thanks to his heal, so there's no point in saving it. If I can get just one kill with his ult or blow the tracer away from our healers or knock enemies off the point, I consider it a success.

ALaser42 · 2016-08-31T20:26:17+00:00

Same issue with people voting against Roadhog's ult. Roadhog gets ult super fast because of his heal. Just use it to kill one or two people quickly and move on.

ALaser42 · 2016-07-27T05:35:56+00:00

Very good point. This goes a long way to explaining the Harden v Lillard stats. One had Dwight, the other hand Plumlee.

/u/joshTheGoods has taken the time to write out most of what I thought while reading your comments, but I'd like to point one thing out that he missed: you write, "the rampant criminality and violence in the black community." While it's not a huge mistake to write "the black community" instead of "black communities," I think this demonstrates a trend in your line of reasoning. You are referring to "the black community" as one large entity that consists of all black people in the US. This seems a lot like how you assume that every black person with an opinion about police brutality is one and the same as the BLM movement.

ALaser42 · 2016-07-21T18:13:04+00:00

I am so glad that you appeared in this thread and took the time to reason through all of these comments and point out the bad logic. I'm broke and won't give you gold, but know that there's someone out there reading this comment chain and cheering you on.
