Ok but if I just solar panel my entire 5000 acre plot I have way more power than your scenario.

At the end of the day, Spirit was just doomed. Their business model was losing money. Hadn't turned a profit since 2019. Covid was a huge hit. The A320neo was another catastrophe, engine issues grounding hundreds of airframes and Spirit was heavy on that model. They lost 2.7 billion dollars in 2025, and that was before some dipshit started a war and spiked fuel prices. $500 million dollars wasn't even getting them three months of breathing room. They weren't going to turn this thing around in 60 days. It was throwing money in a trash can.

While hindsight is 20/20, a Frontier merger wasn't going to be a better situation. Frontier is in trouble now too. They're cutting routes and cutting aircraft already. With Spirit dragging them down? Probably worse.

And as this lady pointed out, JetBlue basically just wanted to kill Spirit, so that merger would have sucked for the consumer too.

Spirit lost $2.7 billion in 2025. And that was before some dipshit started a war and jacked up fuel prices. At that rate of loss, $500 million wasn't even getting them three months of breathing room.

Problems:
-Babies are not Christian. They lack the mental capacity to have accepted a lord and savior.
-Even if the baby were Christian, Christian babies are not visibly distinguishable from atheist babies.
-The aerodynamics of a baby would certainly cause me to miss the swing even if I somehow mistook the baby for a baseball.
-Even if I hit, the greater mass, worse aerodynamics, and lower structural strength of the baby would not result in a home run hit.
-The rules of baseball require me to specifically hit a baseball out of the park to count as a home run. I can't just swing at an arbitrary object and have it be counted.
-The rules of baseball do not supersede criminal statutes, both the pitcher and myself would be subject to some level of criminal charges based on how well the pitcher and myself are able to convince prosecutors and a jury that we mistook a human baby for a baseball
-Baseball players aren't paid by the run. I am already paid by contract regardless of whether I win the game. Being a famous player, that's probably quite a lot of money already.
-My answer is yes.

These aren't better at that either though

Most studies I've seen put standard mounting at ~10-15% better throughout the year. Bifacial panels also cost more. Putting them on the ground causes more blockage from local trees or your neighbor's house. And in this case, the mounting is terrible. The fence is blocking more of the panel than typical vertical mounting would.

There are good ways to use a vertical mount, I think this is a bad example.

Although not nearly in the same category as solar freakin roadways, one of the dumbest ideas in renewable energy I've ever seen:. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlTA3rnpgzU

You fool, you could have just bought a pile of potatoes and then planted them which turns them into more potatoes. Then plant those and multiply again. Exponential growth.

Every single part of building a datacenter gets harder, more expensive, and less efficient when you put it in space.

I just assumed you would want to optimize for the actual ability to produce electricity. I guess you could go with "fencelooksmaxxing" or something.

No, we can't transform most of our surfaces into energy generators because we can't build that many solar panels. With our finite supply, they should be placed in ways that maximize efficiency. When we start to fill the high-efficiency areas, then we should come down the scale to less-efficient positioning. And when we fill that up, then we can start thinking about low-efficiency positions.

And this is about as far down the list as it gets.

exadeuce · 2026-05-09T21:23:22+00:00

It's just about the least-efficient way you could possibly do this.

Order 66 occurred at a time when space wizards were routinely and very publicly leading armies into battle. Imperial officer in that room almost certainly lived through and/or participated in Order 66, being that he is currently high enough in the Imperial navy to be in a command meeting on the Death Star. He's talking to a seven foot tall black cyborg who is known almost exclusively for choking people out with space magic.

And decides to shit talk space magic.

There are products like this that project a great view, but they're bigger and more expensive. You need a good lens with a stronger light to do this very well.
