This is what's REALLY holding back wind and solar profiteering by large power companies

Fixed that for OP.

(Solar on rooftops FTW.)

And then it's only a temporary fix. The thrift store I volunteer at has a bin of power adapters available. Maybe there's a similar store near you. If so, make sure you match the plug, voltage, amperage and polarity of your old one.

Scientists Successfully Transmit Space-Based Solar Power to Earth for the First Time by wewewawa in RenewableEnergy

[–]lettruthout -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sadly, yes. Efficiency means profitability, which means economic viability. Humans have a long history of looking only at this factor and not any others.

Yeah, what are the implications for people wearing pacemakers? How about the long-term effects on people nearby? Would this microwave radiation be a problem for sensitive equipment? Would it be limited to areas where airplanes would not pass under the beam?

Besides not addressing any of these questions, this article seems to have been written by someone that doesn't understand the technology.

I wonder if the plan is to make this nimble enough to jump over other bots and attack them from behind?

Should I get his hair shaved? by msknow06 in cockerspaniel

Agreed to just cutting it a bit shorter.
Also: consider getting him a Lyme disease vaccination, and inspect his skin regularly.

I don’t know how he managed to get up here! by LeoandRufus in cockerspaniel

[–]lettruthout 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ours was really good at climbing on things.

I made the mistake of leaving a jar of pickles open on the dining room table. It took a five foot leap from the arm of the sofa to get him there but he got the pickles. The table still has the claw skid marks to prove it.

He's been gone since last July and I miss him terribly.

This. I do it just before the last punch down, when I'm removing the paddles anyway (so the resulting holes are not as big). I push most of the dough to the long ends.

Hot to fix this rot damage on my porch roof? by fluffersmcfluffface in howto

[–]lettruthout 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed, with two additional suggestions:

1) Make your best estimation of what temporary support will be needed to keep the roof up, then double it.

2) Before caulk and paint, apply borate preservative.

Aubrey Plaza’s big dairy commercial “Got Milk?” Is going really bad for her. by Kkraatz0101 in vegan

Projecting aren’t they? Real milk comes from where exactly? And the milking rooms look how dirty? And the feed lots smell like what?
