Courtney (she/her/they)

They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they’re talking about…

Every time I see a comment like this it’s either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids…

I mean… They would have been right 5 years ago. But then they caught up and are showing some other manufacturers up.

Similarly here, Chinese manufacturers are making progress, and as usual they’re catching up quite well. In a few years I fully expect to see actual competition, and competition benefits everyone.

All it does is make me think “wow, Samsung is really cheaping out with the logic staff, strike harder!”

Personally I’m a big fan of Antarctica.

Never seen their people or government do stupid shit.

Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

Lmao sure it was “the libs” and definitely not the government that actually did things.

I’ve seen plenty of different types of solar panels, some specifically for agriculture use that have small gaps between the solar cells to allow for more sun to reach plants.

I’m not sure how that affects solar panel output/longevity but it can’t be too much of a hit.

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

O noes

I am hepless

😂

"these people don’t hide that they don’t like me and since I have a tiny iota of power I’m gonna ban them! Grr I’m angy! >:[ see it has an actual reason, I’m not whining! "

Lmao imagine Arguing what is legal and what is illegal when discussing dealing with ICE and all the illegal shit they do with impunity every say

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

My response was “What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That’s how fucking stupid you sound.”

For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

My In laws are terrible people.

My version:

Doc: do you struggle with

<simple task> ?

Pt: No, not at all because I have

<overly complicated system> that makes

<simple task> easy for me!

<explains in great detail>

Doc: congratulations, you do not have ADHD, have you tried setting phone reminders?

Okay well I already have my own neko maid uniform, so just a quick hop into the gender swap machine (maybe a pit stop into the plug Closet) and then I’m off to the cuddle puddle!

I will have to bring up the lack of quick access from the bdsm dungeon to the cuddle puddle, aftercare is important!

On the one hand, being friends with people who have severe chronic illnesses, and living with someone with progressively degeneraating mobility due to chronic illness, I can say with absolute certainty that after long enough of being laid down and mostly immobile, some of them absolutely COULD jump up out of bed on excitement and manage to walk the rest of the day. They will all pay for it for a week or more but neuro divergent people don’t all have the bet impulse control.

ON the other hand… FUCK grandpa Joe.

Lmao tell me you’ve never experienced cycling in any capacity outside a park or parking lot without telling me.

Give me a fucking bike lane or shut the fuck up, I’ve been literally forced off the road every single year I’ve been cycling since 15, I have been hit by cars more times than I can count, I have been hit with things thrown by cars, I have been hit by city busses, semis, and even fucking cops.

I wear hi vis clothing, my bike has lights front back and sides, at least one constant and one flashing in each direction. I leave 3ft between me and anything to my right, and am as far to the right as I can be without ILLEGALLY riding on the sidewalk

Where in the ABSOLUTE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO
