Woman: Oh baby, it makes so horny when you use the computer. Guy: Shut the fuck up, I’m using the computer!

That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.

Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.

95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.

I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.

Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.

Same aged minors exploring their sexuality isn’t rape. That shouldn’t be at the discretion of a judge. Especially in red states where the judges are extra racist and extra homophobic.

I love that you’re putting the law above ethics here. These two horny same aged teenagers had sex but were too young to consent, therefore they should both go to jail! Damn these lenient judges!

“Wow you expressed basic human vulnerability about one of your problems and asked for help? I can’t empathise with someone as crazy as that! I think only a professional can help you, maybe even only God. You’re really messed up. Legitimately I’m not trying to be mean or condescending”

Yes, I also have a girlfriend, but you don’t know her, she lives in Canada.

These fucking conservatives crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches anytime the government does something heinous and use their piss poor understanding of EVERYTHING to try to justify the heinous actions. It happens every time, and I wish just once to see one of them use real and relevant facts, just so I can pretend that these people live in reality for just one second.

Hasn’t happened yet though.

This guy has no fucking idea how the law works. Destruction of evidence requires a primary crime, the one you’re destroying the evidence for. There is no crime, therefore no destruction of evidence. Only an incompetent or corrupt judge would let this even go to trial.

This graph can’t be right… Why does it add up to exactly 100 min? What counts as social vs non-social? What are the other categories?

That’s how the Clintons spiced up their marriage after killing Serbians stopped working

All the answers are bullshit. The real explanation is that leaders set salaries. Of course they’re going to value themselves over others. Then they’re going to rationalise it with the bullshit you see in this thread about “force multipliers” etc… it’s basic capitalism. It’s the same reason politicians in the us have free healthcare and great vacation and benefits and salaries rising above inflation, the people who control these things always make sure they get what’s fair then make excuses for why no one else does.

Watch the so-called “leaders” down vote for being called out. Workers do the work, “leaders” get the pay, owners get the profit. Why? Because the “leaders” are the tools of the capitalist class to exploit workers so they get rewarded. Basic capitalism.
