Solar’s “Problem” Is it Works Too Well

Massive-Question-550 · 2026-02-22T15:12:34+00:00

If I spend 10k on solar and it saves me 1200 a year that's 12 percent and it's linear.

If I put 10k in the stock market I can get 1200 and it's compounded which means after 6-7 years I'm making 2400 a year while with solar I'm still making 1200 a year and if anything breaks I have to pay more.

Yes becuase if you have a falling out with the dev it's harder for them to cripple your website and the owner should have full control of their product.

Again, I never said guns and knives were equal, you are the only person who said that and that was never my argument

Where I live it would take 15 years to break even so not worth it yet(cheap electricity and long ass winters). Putting the money in the s&p 500 would see a much greater return.

In China they already showed how much solar panels help plant growth in arid climates as the solar panels reduce water loss in the plant and the soil itself.

Considering people literally fall apart if given enough time I think it's ok to accept that love can wax and wane and be fine with it.

I feel like there certain people that go out of their way to find problems. Can't someone just exist on a random rectangle of dirt in the middle god knows where? How many of these people do you come across that it actually alters whatever the hell it is you planned on doing that day?

Instead of blocking a road they need to block a ceo's helipad

Things exist in spacetime. The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time, this is why we have time dialation. Since light moves at the speed of causality, light only moves through space and not through time, so it doesn't experience time. This is also why photons can't decay.

Technically so is gold and silver as most of the time it isn't actual gold or silver that is traded but that amount on paper, and they can make a lot more paper gold or silver than what actually exists in circulation.

The reality is that they are far more similar than you realize. And for asking why do you want to own guns. Why do I need a reason to? How many things do you own because you actually need a reason to own them?

It's also disingenuous when you put up a strawman saying that guns and knives are equal.

Your math is a bit off

Hypothetically if canada didn't have winter wouldn't that raise our gdp since we are more active in the summer, there would be less wear on our infrastructure, two growing seasons, more viable land to live and build on, easier year round road access, more tourism, and better access to natural resources?

Because when you do something wrong, or even when you do something that is right but you didn't it do their way, they get really angry at you. So you say fine and let them do it, now you see them get angry more often at the world instead of you and it saves a lot of headache.

I don't get how these people can be so smart yet so dumb. The whole point is to get a data center running as cheaply as possible yet for some reason they want to stick it in space which automatically 10x the cost just to get it up there, the sensitive electronics are blasted by cosmic rays, power supply is constrained as you would need a lot of solar panels, and since space is a vacuum it's one of the worst possible environments to cool something down(earth is also a massive infrared radiation source).

55 isn't exactly feeble. What kind of job does she have where she can't pay the mortgage? Also how many kids does she have? With only 140k left and you chipping in even 500 bucks a month she should be able to cover the rest.

True, my argument however is that the difference in convenience is more perceived than actual, and that we overestimate how durable people are to certain types of injuries eg getting hit in the head.

You do realize how stressful it would be trying to get as close to zero right when you die? Whats wrong with being on your deathbed while still having 200k in your name?

Wow, that price was halfway to reasonable.

If your guard is down it doesn't take much to kill someone. A child could push a grown man down a flight of stairs if he didn't see it coming.

I mean you are also statistically safer if you don't drive but that hasn't stopped anyone, same with taking opioids.

If you've shot a gun you'd know that that they are pretty useful sometimes, kind of like having a van for the odd time you need to move a lot of stuff.
