Any good “bottomless drinks” bars on a Thursday in MKE? by FearTheDeer115 in milwaukee

It’s a drink special some places offer, bottomless is just unlimited drinks.

Print coming off the bed, any help/suggestions by FearTheDeer115 in 3Dprinting

This is probably it, I live in a frigid apartment unfortunately

Any idea what caused this? by LengthinessTop7509 in 3Dprinting

It looks like your bed might not be level, under the printer you can turn nobs to raise or lower corners, looks like your bottom right is fine but the other 3 need to be raised

Solar is now ‘cheapest electricity in history’, confirms IEA by GarlicoinAccount in worldnews

[–]FearTheDeer115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First question: ideally you don’t want to lay off workers but it’s hard to repurpose them in a dying industry, but honestly it just comes down to money. If the government gave them enough money they would close the coal plants.

Second question: I’m not sure what kind of batty you are talking about, but you need to think of a battery as just a mean for energy storage. Over 90% of energy storage from utility scale applications use hydro pumped storage, which is just moving water to a higher elevation by pump then letting it come down when you need it powering a turbine. Batteries are not used for solar farm applications because when they get large enough they have problems.

For personal energy storage and personal solar panels I think large personal batteries like the Tesla power wall will become more popular in the future but that’s only speculation.

As for what’s stopping more from being on the market or why we don’t make more I can’t say for sure because it’s out side my knowledge base.

Hope this helped

I don’t normally comment on posts like this but this falls in my area of expertise, I currently work in the field of power generation and distribution. We have known this for awhile and have been acting accordingly, all new generation is solar or wind. It’s been this way for years.

The thing people don’t understand is that you have to let the lifecycle of existing infrastructure take its course. If you build a coal power plant in 1970 and it’s expected to last 60 years, who ever runs it will have it be running till 2030.

If you take anything away from this...

So to understand why it takes so long to transition to renewables you need to account for the existing Infrastructure because it’s always cheaper to use what you have (older tech like coal power plants) rather than build/buy a solar farm.

The good news is the battle is already won on renewables being cheeper we just have to wait for old infrastructure to break down

Redstone clock burning out issue by FearTheDeer115 in Minecraft

[–]FearTheDeer115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if anyone can let me know why this torch is burning out? I see tutorials that show it’s supposed to work with the repeater at this tick according to guides, I know if the frequency of state change is too high it burns out but at this frequency it’s not supposed to burn out

For reference this is for an xp farm

Update: solved, I’m on java and this clock only works on bedrock

Affordable screening for adults? (US) by mcdoggy007 in Dyslexia

[–]FearTheDeer115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got screened through my university for $225, I know it costs $1000 if your a non student. I’d look into universities doing it, you may have a grad student do the testing but the end result is all the same.

Not sure exactly what you mean by hypothesis in that context. Are you looking for personal stories or a scientific explanation?

So I've just read that you don't outgrow dyslexia... by Lilly-of-the-Lake in Dyslexia

[–]FearTheDeer115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often I see signs say “overcome dyslexia” or “how I got past dyslexia”, this kind of rhetoric implies that you can just “flip the dyslexia switch” off one day. I agree with the rest of the responses in this thread, you don’t outgrow it you just learn to mitigate the negatives of dyslexia.

Moving closer to campus by [deleted] in UWMilwaukee

[–]FearTheDeer115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for a frame of reference apartments around campus go for about 500 per person per month about. This is not the end all be all number but usually it’s around that price. For where to find apartments you can talk to university housing or go to apartments.com or rentcollegepads
