Seems more “anti-authoritarian-communism” than anything.

How can you tell? Do you think it’s on purpose, or just the result of so much AI art being pumped into the interwebs for the last year?

I do the exact same thing, once my comment reaches a paragraph long I just think “this is way too much stupid information to add, fuck it all, cancel.” Maybe I should shitpost random thoughts either way and let the chips fall where they may.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

It would be nice to eventually develop an RES-style firefox extension for keyboard navigation and whatnot.

No I was using reddit since 2009 or so. This is the closest alternative I can find to escape the cesspool that it has become.

True but it does seem like a good sign of a healthy ecosystem.

Maybe servers need a contingency plan to be able to communicate with users as to backup options in case one goes down?

And we used to have to manually write the hexadecimal values of colors in arrays by hand to generate them. Uphill, both ways.

You angered a few of the rugrats with that comment. LoL j/k xD :O ;-/

I have stopped contacting family members because the constant emoji spam kills all desire to have a conversation with them. Feels like empty meaningless chatter.

It almost feels like talking to a child when I see emoji spam from people. Emojis are just cheap, which makes them way less valuable by definition and added visual noise distracts from the point.

This sums it up. It’s meaningless noise. I wish there were a stable way of removing all emojis from a page via browser extension. Chrome’s kinda broke youtube comments, filtering out comments that didn’t have emojis, haven’t looked for a firefox replacement yet.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen Sidekick II here. I think that was one of my last ones via T-Mobile before the first LG Android phone came out.

Solar’s lack of moving parts is something people overlook, too. Hail storms supposedly rarely damage them, and if they do, you can just replace individual panels.

It depends, $180/mo for 25 years is the agreement and it’s directly connected to the grid both ways which required additional work from the power company to inspect and approve. I think given the projections it was rated for about 25,000 kWh per year * 25 years (approaching 85% efficiency after 30 years), which is a good amount of total production for my needs. Edit: it’s worth considering what $180/mo will look like in 5 to 20 years… it will probably be significantly cheaper compared to other power sources because it’s generated locally.

I just installed a 9.3 kW system with individual microinverters under each panel for grid stability and it is absolutely amazing how much you can power all day without threatening a massive bill at the end of the month. I still import power at night, but the power companies usually have agreements where you get credits for all wattage exported to the grid to cover your imported power at night, because both parties win in that contract.
