lol they already won that political chess. You still have to pay a connection fee and a transmission fee and a lawsuit settlement fee and an environmental remediation fee, even if you use 0 kW/h. Also with the NEM 3 plan if you have any excess solar generation you give it to them at about 1/10th the price that they will sell to you during the same time of day.

Edit: I exaggerated unfairly, it’s like 1/8th the price. Also for the people who adopted solar early and were promised a 25 year contract (called NEM 2) they can now magically alter the deal and change the way that credits are calculated despite the 25-year guarantee that was made.

Edit 2: did you know our governor is a large shareholder of stock in our utility company? The same one that has the power to appoint people to the board that is supposed to regulate the “private” utility? America is doing great.

They’ll just bust out the old tapes and get another round of use out of that old code.

My electrical utility (PG&E) advertises all the time. Like what am I gonna do, not buy electricity? It’s so obviously just a bribe to the media companies.

You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but Republican fascism is now in full swing. You aren’t insulated from it just because you make smug internet comments.

If you’re gonna get another browser, why not cut out the middleman and just use TOR Browser directly?

Anyone who has an idea of what risk mitigation is viable will NEVER phrase it that way for obvious reasons

Those reasons aren’t obvious to me at all. Can you expand on this?

The core of what made Skype great was made by a team of engineers in Estonia. Once it got acquired most of those people left the company. Many of them ended up at Twilio.

I haven’t noticed that, can you think of any examples that demonstrate your point?

The government stopping doctors from practicing medicine is overreach every “conservative” votes for. Stopping a person from growing a plant and then consuming it is government overreach that every “conservative” votes for. Unconstitutional seizure of money without a fair trial is government overreach that every “conservative” votes for. Forcing shariachristian indoctrination into school curriculums is government overreach that every “conservative” votes for.

So you think this woman deserved to be arrested?

How about your science on how it’s actually good for children to starve at school if they are poor?

Now do climate change!

Tell me more about how your theories of gay people being abominations are backed by science.

To reinforce this comment, the “certain times” that we pay 70¢/kWh here are literally all the times you need power, and those rates are scheduled to literally double within the next few years.

Also, gas appliances are now illegal so all cooking and water heating and home heating are at that electricity rate.

“Firman” and “Hyundai” are the same engine manufacturer. Maybe they suck at scaling up, the small engines I have purchased from them have stood up to a lot of abuse.

I just hate how the platform owners turn a blind eye to spam because of the perverse incentive. It would take like 5 lines of code to auto-ban any IP/account that auto-follows brand new accounts within minutes and never interacts with the account that the bot spam-follows.

The “Firman” generators you buy at Costco are honestly fantastic. They have saved my bacon for years on end on a budget since I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet for the privilege of having 1-2 outages per month.

Ah, the mythical Democrat 4th trimester abortion.
