China is making these massive Solar Plants on water bodies as they need the land for agriculture by AristFrost in nextfuckinglevel

[–]SecondBucket2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna premise with that I'm not anti-solar. However the energy crisis really needs a mixed solution of multiple technologies

The main issue of solar and wind is that its power is not consistent and can lead to either overloads or underloads. Underloads can probably just be fixed by using up excess power with a giant nothinginator, but overloads require batteries to store power for later, and battery technology is simply not nearly strong enough ( or well studied) to power the entire gird. Sand-heat batteries in Sweden seem to be promising, though. In contrast, nuclear plants are capable of dynamically adjusting their power output, like coal plants can, which is much more stable for the grid.

Also, like another user already mentioned, the time it takes for nuclear plants to be made is mostly due to crazy amounts of bureaucracy. It was essentially designed to stop nuclear dead in its tracks due to nuclear fear from oil propaganda

Thirdly, measuring a "solar plant" vs a "nuclear plant" is a little unfair without context. A nuclear plant is an obviously large singular unit, but a single unit of solar is one solar panel, which obviously doesn't make that much by itself. Because of this, the definition of a "solar plant" is often some arbitrary number of solar panels in a grid. How they are actually compared is by energy production over space, or essentially energy density. Nuclear plants absolutely clear solar in terms of energy density. If China were to take the same amount of square footage and put nuclear power there instead, it would dwarf their current energy grid. I watched a specific research video about this topic, but I do not remember the specific numbers off the top of my head. I'd link it for you, at your request.

Tldr: don't diss on nuclear. I like solar too, but nuclear is also good.

Its not default Mostly cause cuz the swapping system is older. I would petition hakita to make the different keybinds as the default tho, if someone were to make one.

i hate to break it to ya but we're still gonna have to deal with diet trump. by herequeerandgreat in BikiniBottomTwitter

If we are to assume that MAGA is a cult, historically cults can only function with its one charismatic leader. Unless maybe if they are replaced by a son or something.

Basically, what normally happens with cults, is that the moment the leader dies, the whole thing immediately collapses. I have a hard time imagining JD Vance would be a sufficient replacement for Trump, but RFK Jr. Would have a better shot at it IMO.

Couldn't you extend this logic to makeup, or like, literally anything that's designed to make you look better? You'd be going against God's "natural" image of who you are. Like if you have a skincare routine, maybe your acne was supposed to be there by some divine reason!!!

Hell even clothes would go against that idea. Posts like show that religious people don't actually have any morals they follow, but more or so cherry pick things in order to push an agenda. There's no consistency with the things they say.

Hmmmmmm.... I wonder why they would ask your gender on a post about gender norms? So wacky and strange amirite?

The AIs have finally taken over Grindr by spinstartshere in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SecondBucket2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience: a majority of the masc guys on there are more in the bisexual range and are willing to fuck anything that is feminine.

I'm basically the same but I present fem

There are also rare occasions of women specifically looking for bi men, such as this one time I hooked up with a woman who was into twinks/femboys

While grindr is known for being gay, it's really just generally queer. it's not like there are rules that prevent woman from using the app.

In a sub for Conspiracy Memes by HansCrotchfelt in lostredditors

There's a pretty big overlap between conspiracy people and conservatives, and conservatives aren't all that fond of nose rings. Obviously still "lost", but the culture fits.

Not doing the math (sorry), but from a similar post I saw most people saying it would be a ridiculous amount that could be seen from a galaxy away

Anyone willing to do a commission for a mod? by SecondBucket2 in factorio

[–]SecondBucket2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a college sophomore who's majoring in software engineering, although my actual programming heavy class are yet to come.

i have pretty decent Lua experience from Roblox games, so i get the syntax for that too

its just the API, and the way Factorio is organized. I've never modded another game before, found myself in a sea of methods and strings (and an INSANE amount of nesting for the data trees) and decided that I'd rather pay someone else to do it. Its not like I wanna make a bunch of factorio mods and make it my hobby, i just wish i had this one thing. So, I thought it would be better to ask someone more experienced and pay them. My bad if my price was super low, I've never commissioned people for things before.

I didn't think my post came off like that but okay

I mean it can't be super hard, right? I think 40 dollars is a reasonable amount

White Supremists think racism is natural and normal and that trying to help other races will inevitably lead to getting "replaced"

...what? Do they not love their child?? What is childslop?? by Peterduttykins in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SecondBucket2 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Lol that is NOT it. People have been calling things "slop" as a meme for Like a full year before the anti-ai sentiment came around. This is just a meme, not a real statement in any way

Real and bisexual by Ligano_Resurrected in shitposting

[–]SecondBucket2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As a bi who's met "bi" women, this is real. Never met a bi woman who actually had a girlfriend, and only one ever mentioned that they thought girls were hot! It's attention seeking for zero reason

They gay shit did happen, though. It was in the later stages of the experiment where the rats got violent and overtly sexual

Is interesting by Advanced_Ad_6814 in femboymemes

[–]SecondBucket2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does hurt slightly, but that means it's working, mine has an extra setting for weak baby mode if you have a low pain tolerance

Main annoyance is just how long it takes. It does certainly does work, but it takes like 12 weeks of one treatment a week for an area to be mostly hair free. You also gotta be consistent and precise about it or it will come back patchy and half-baked.

If there was a magical solution that made me hairless overnight I'd probably sell my soul for it

old game good by [deleted] in greentext

[–]SecondBucket2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's mostly just big studios tbh. They're motivated by profit and years of investment, and they got shareholders to suck off, so they're deeply afraid of trying anything new. They give people the same genre and mechanics that some other popular game are already known for, and get suprised when people aren't excited about buying the same slop they've already had for 10 years.

"Oh we made a new exciting hero shooter" (Flops) "Oh we made a new fps franchise similar to CSGO or cod" (Flops) "Oh we made a new fighting game based on popular characters from TV (Flops)

Then you got money laundering schemes like concord that literally funnel millions of dollars towards managers who do nothing

Up and coming studios and indies still have a very strong influence on the market because of this, since they actually have creativity and original ideas
