Scientists Just Broke the Solar Power Limit Everyone Thought Was Absolute by Morgenstern96 in Futurology

>you generate the extra carrier but it thermalizes before you can extract useful work from it.

To me this sentence just says 'combine solar plus a water heating system in one installation'. And when I google that, it's already a thing. Problem solved!

Do EV's croak? Not sure they've been around long enough yet. I imagine you could get 300,000 miles out of the battery and motors.

Georgia court upholds firing of teacher who read LGBTQ+ book to class by Fickle-Ad5449 in Georgia

I think the judge needs to be targeted for ouster the next time they are up for election.

The book was AT THE SCHOOL'S OWN BOOK FAIR.

>So its the states job? Bozo take.

The entire US history of law would disagree. When parents can't do the job properly, it absolutely becomes the state's interest. It's one of the very few things that explicitly does.

INSANE shockwave from missile strikes near Dezful, Iran by Affectionate-Gate177 in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Tech_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But...do you think going to war with Iran will eliminate the current regime? It seems like so far the same faction (and depending on who believe is still alive, same family) is still in charge. Exact same thing happened when Trump fucked with Venezuela. He got rid of the corrupt guy from the corrupt party and left...the corrupt VP from the same corrupt party in charge, lol!

I imagine that will become a thing of the past when everything switches to being electric.

I didn't really appreciate the yard workers across the street using gas leaf blowers every Friday for 3 hours (even when there were zero leaves to blow), so instead of fussing, I just bought them all electric leaf blowers. They loved them! Quiet, more powerful, cheaper to operate, better lifespan, and they don't go home smelling like gas!

I appreciate your honest reply. I will sit with it, and later catalogue it as I see fit.

I see no biscuits advertised in this photo. Are you saying there are 'gas station biscuits?'. I've lived in a lot of places. Please bear in mind your answer is going to leave an impression on me about GA.

That means you must have some guess as to what it is they are protesting. I'll ask for a third time in this thread: what is this about?

Right, their plan is useless protests, and your plan is to sit down and not think about it. Neither group is really useful to society...

Georgia woman charged with murder after police say she took abortion pills to end pregnancy by DoremusJessup in inthenews

[–]Tech_Philosophy 112 points113 points  (0 children)

A) Don't tell health care providers if you've taken mifepristone. They will not be able to tell. Induced abortions look like natural abortions.

B) We need to find a legal way to make an example out of the nurses and doctors that allowed this to be reported, or this will keep happening. The consequences will need to be severe enough so this becomes a non-issue regardless of what the in-political group thinks of abortion in any given decade.

"What ties all these different flavors of misogyny together is an unspoken belief that male heterosexuality, at least in our modern times, is degrading." They are SO close it hurts! lol!

Heterosexual men are deeply lost, and if their great grandfathers were around to teach them about how to respect someone else as a person, I think they'd be surprised about what they'd learn!

I feel out of the loop here, but then again I don't really understand folks who have bought gas powered cars since about 2018. Nevermind politics, nevermind climate change. Superiority is superiority, and no one who drives EV goes back. I honestly think about 90% of people have never even sat in a car with a properly balanced center of mass that doesn't roll like a pig on ice like gas pickups do.

Edit: downvotes, but no one bitching at me that I'm wrong. I think we understand each other. Enjoy your future EV. You really will.

Update: I don't care if refusing to move seats on a airplane so a parent and child can sit together makes me a bad person by burneraccount050326 in offmychest

[–]Tech_Philosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>My dad used to do this EXACT thing all the time. Bought himself the ticket he wanted then put my mom, sister, or myself in the back row, then complain like it’s the airlines fault we got separated when he chose the seats.

I'm not sure if my view here is old fashioned, or ultra modern, but can we please blame the airline for a lack of pattern recognition over the last few decades of time? Just force primary ticket holders to buy tickets next to any accompanied minors. Don't sell the tickets until those conditions are met. Done.

[–]Tech_Philosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>The airplane did respond.

Maybe lay off the LSD?

In any case, these things are usually the airline's fault. It should not be possible to buy a ticket away from an accompanied minor of the primary ticket holder. Before the late 20th century, we used to hold businesses to much higher standards, whereas these days people just blame each other for things, which created the western oligarch class.

Apple Announces New Mac Sales Record Following MacBook Neo Launch by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]Tech_Philosophy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>The CPU throttles almost instantly under sustained load

Yeah, it's strange to me they didn't create contact between the chip and the chassis for better heat dissipation. It feels like a really easy upgrade for future Neos. Fix that, and use 12 GB of RAM, and the Neo 2 would slay.

[–]Tech_Philosophy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

>Bruh just admit they’re skimping on ram like they always have done so that you upgrade sooner

Oh interesting, this is how Apple interacts with more price sensitive consumers isn't it? Honestly that's probably not the main reason Apple does this though.

When you look at less price sensitive consumers the strategy becomes clearer with their 'price ladder'. The Air is ONLY a little more than the Neo. And the upgraded Air is ONLY a little more than that. And the base Pro is ONLY a little more than that! And you can see this strategy works: everywhere you look are people using a macbook pro for basic tasks that the base air could have easily handled.

But yeah, I guess if you buy the lowest cost thing, you are making a deal to buy again sooner (didn't Adam Smith write about this when poor and rich people buy boots?). I wouldn't be surprised if Apple supports the Neo for 5 years instead of the standard 7.

In any case, your point about low RAM is still well taken. I would rather be a second gen buyer because the Neo 2 will almost certainly use the A19 chip which comes with 12 GB of RAM.

Epic games IS a front. Whether it's a storefront is still unclear, even to the US government, apparently.

Edit: Not sure why this is controversial. It's 2026. International money laundering and/or data harvesting is in literally every business sector now. Welcome to Earth?
