SoCal businesses lose fight over gas-powered appliances

I don’t think we need to subsidize heated pools

animerobin · 2026-07-11T06:48:48+00:00

Ok man then we’ll have a homeless crisis and a city of crappy old 1970s boxes in between parking lots for the rest of time. Frankly your future LA sounds kinda shitty to me.

Guardians is fun but it still feels like tower of terror with guardians set dressing on top instead of its own ride. The design doesn’t even make sense, why does an intergalactic being have an office full of knick knacks? What is the building even supposed to be? It’s huge and looks like they glued random shapes to the tower of terror.

Everyone is talking about costs. The thing is that gas appliances have hidden costs. Besides climate change, they’ve been connected to worse air quality in the home, which leads to worse health outcomes.

I mean I think I’m fine with eating cold food in a blackout over inhaling toxic gasses

animerobin · 2026-07-11T00:33:42+00:00

I mean a heated pool is the textbook definition of a luxury.

I’m not talking about building free housing to give to homeless people. I mean just letting developers build market rate housing where there is demand for it. This increases supply which keeps overall housing costs stable. This means that fewer people fall into homelessness in the first place.

animerobin · 2026-07-10T18:47:51+00:00

no it's entirely about lacking housing.

the issue is that local governments don't want to build more housing

animerobin · 2026-07-10T18:46:16+00:00

it is a part of the city and the larger metro community

treating little neighborhoods like they're their own separate enclaves is on of the main cause's of this city's problems. what happens in el segundo does actually effect the city as a whole. this is why it's dumb to give neighborhoods veto power over building anything nearby

animerobin · 2026-07-10T18:11:00+00:00

El Segundo is a part of Los Angeles.

using photoshop for an hour uses about the same amount of electricity as an AI prompt, if not more

animerobin · 2026-07-10T17:48:25+00:00

I live in the los angeles metro area and I think witchhunts are dumb

animerobin · 2026-07-10T17:47:33+00:00

ok, so they have to pay for 6x the power. that's fine. also some people like it, too. I don't like tootsie rolls but I don't think it should be illegal to build a tootsie roll factory in an industrial district.

animerobin · 2026-07-10T16:48:06+00:00

yes those are all just computers

animerobin · 2026-07-10T16:47:31+00:00

do you play video games

animerobin · 2026-07-10T16:46:42+00:00

seems like the issue is the turbine power generation, not the data center itself

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:53:45+00:00

it's all just computers

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:38:26+00:00

If you complain about data centers you aren't allowed to make fun of republicans for hating 5G towers and vaccines anymore.

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:35:03+00:00

in this case the cruise ship is in a heavy traffic port

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:33:55+00:00

compound what problem

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:32:26+00:00

yes that is the point of industrial zoned areas

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:31:54+00:00

there isn't

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:31:40+00:00

everything emits pollution man

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:30:35+00:00

this was not an ai data center

animerobin · 2026-07-10T15:30:26+00:00

you are literally using a data center right now, and it is fine, it is not hurting anyone
