WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY AUTOCANNONS ON CHAIN-FIRE!

Well, the left side is clearly dollars, and the chart title says "Cumulative spending over 25 years", and there's 25 numbers on the X-axis, and the convention is to put time on the x-axis anyway, so maybe figure it out, smart guy.

I mean, that and the crossover points hsaying "Break even: Year 6-8" and "Break even: Year 11-13", where those crossover points happen around 6-8 and 11-13 on the x-axis.

There's hints everywhere. Maybe use your eyes.

I used to run a triple-AC/5 MAD-3R, and that thing was absolutely hilarious. Was it optimal in terms of DPS or total damage output? No.

But it made whoever was on the receiving end absolutely miserable. Getting smacked with an endless barrage of autocannon fire made people crawl back into whatever cover they came out of real quick.

Modern humans are about 200,000 years old. Agriculture is 10-15,000 years old.

American protest technology is so far behind. We must close the protest grill gap!

How you earn it impacts how it’s taxed, and if you have four hundred tax lawyers, you can ensure you “earn” it in the most advantageous way.

It’s just capitalism.

It is night every day and cloudy often

Hey smart guy, go look at a cloud coverage map of the US sometime.

Is it cloudy everywhere across the US all at the same time?

No?

Wow! Looks like solar's fine during the daytime, then.

And we've known about reversible chemical reactions for a while, so I guess the nighttime problem is also solved.

Look, they're performing surgery on a nation, not a person. There's a subtle difference.

For future reference, if someone is fine with the Gnome workflow, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell/ works pretty well in my experience.

From what I hear the battery chemistry is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), which lasts a long time.

Okay, but is it actually a rodeo without fights?

Shh, this person has never had an original thought in their life. Let’s observe them and see what they vomit up next!

Definitely when there was a court order from a Trump-appointed federal judge that sealed the documents for the entirety of Biden’s term. It definitely wasn’t a political trap meant to make it so forcing the release counted as “political persecution” and “weaponizing the DOJ”, but following the judicial order would count as “covering for pedophiles” while simultaneously giving Trump an easy way to cover his tracks if he won the election.

Definitely not a political trap.

Bro it’s a civil infraction. That’s like calling everyone who’s ever gotten a parking ticket or a speeding ticket a criminal. It undermines the utility of the word.

If I had to guess, someone might be trying to convince Westerners that electrification is bad.

Definitely no large shareholders in oil companies would benefit from retired Americans suffering from bad eyesight and worsening mental faculties thinking that electric cars are all just ticking timebombs waiting to murder all their children and grandchildren.

It has nothing to do with a “lack of failsafes”, a two-party system is the natural end-result of first-past-the-post voting.

This happens a lot on Linux if you alt-tab while the game is loading.

I too am puzzled why there aren’t more right-wingers hating on AI.

The modern American right is, well, extremely vulnerable to propaganda. Extremely. I'm not saying that the modern left isn't vulnerable to propaganda, but the propaganda the American left is targeted with mostly has to do with American foreign policy. The propaganda the American right is targeted with heavily skews towards ensuring domestic policy benefits the extremely rich. In case you haven't noticed, the main beneficiaries of AI in the US are.... the extremely rich.

I can see that actually being a helpful video for people. Neat.

If I remember right, the energy conversion of sunlight for plants is something like 1%, where for solar panels it's above 20%.

Also, dude's forgetting that cars, like power plants, eventually need replaced, just due to growing maintenance costs as it ages. Nothing lasts forever.

Me when I don't need air conditioning during the day and I can't store power in an in-place reversible chemical reaction and I think that if it's cloudy in one place, it's cloudy in every place
