In 2025 China installed over 500GW of solar power. That is an insane amount it’s over 1.3 gigawatts a day or a large power plant per day. Sodium batteries have gone into production and gonna be sold at like 50$/kwh. These price points and scales are where it’s cheaper to build 2 times your power needed in solar and have like a week of battery backup so you can power everything off solar and wind. Right now it’s 60/40 fossil fuels/low carbon sources for electricity production, 2026 will be the year it flips to 49/51 in actuality, it might take a year or two before analysts actually realize it has happened.

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought.

Where in Texas do you live?

I always thought it was to help prevent it exploding if dropped. I’ve dropped a gallon a couple times and the dimple pops out and the lid stays on. Kinda like an air bag.

That’s super cool how many more games have you made for your family since?

That was my same story

I haven’t used the flashforge but my brother who never did any 3d printing before got it and loves it. He says it just works. I just got the elagoo centauri carbon for 300 and it’s so great but might be out of your price range. If your just printing with pla flashforge is probably the way to go. I never liked bedslingers since tall prints tend to tip over or delaminate and I keep my printers in my garage where temperatures can swim and change the prints drastically.

I used to love Wendy’s and went to Wendy’s a little while ago and just got a burger no fries nothing else and it was like 9 dollars. I was blown away and never want to go back. All these cheap chains jacked up their prices and saw temporary profits but then customers realize it’s not a good deal and stop going. Late stage capitalism really sucks.

I think launching satellites is a terrible idea but I do think Geo engineering is a necessity. We are on a good trajectory to phase out most fossil fuels simply because the economics make more sense. If we can do something to avoid the worst of climate change we need to do it because the fossil fuel industry is not going to give up massive profits to save the planet unfortunately. Even if there are side effects theres no way it’s worse than letting climate change happen.

Just like the hyper loop Elon taking a well known idea and people giving him credit for inventing it. Launching satellites to do this is a terrible idea.

I grew up in NJ and there are definitely left or right communities/towns but yeah not whole counties.

Yeah my thought exactly I was raised on Macintosh and it’s completely different than the current apple product experience.

Not during the storm maybe idk it’s been a while since I was in a snow storm. but afterwards before I get power back.

I don’t know why you would need a clock if you’re trapped in your house. Maybe if you have to take pills at a specific time but usually you can be off by an hour or two which I can tell simply by looking outside and sensing time internally.

Hey I’ll have you know as an American our kindergartens are run terribly as well, at least in poor school districts.

Why aren’t they supposed to be the moral pulse? I’m not saying they necessarily are but I think in order to be funny you need to empathize with others.

This is AI right

Ok yeah I just wanted to make sure you werent deflecting. There is a genocide of the uyghurs in China as well the rohingyas in Myanmar.

Ok so can you admit there is a genocide happening in Gaza right now. Just so I’m clear on your position.

The biggest thing I noticed is when my print is enclosed it doesn’t curl up around the edges on bigger prints.
