Having zero/negative prices incentivizes programs to incentivize consumers to use energy storage to get cheaper prices. Anyone who uses AC/heaters has at least their residence as a thermal battery and people can do things like shift when they do energy intensive activities as well.

Also, if you want enough power generation to power through the evening, then having excess generation during the peak generation hours/days is the expectation. When building new solar/wind is less than half the price of building any other form of energy production (even before considering the externalities of most of those other forms of energy production), its still cheaper to “overbuild” by a factor of two to reduce the need for other sources of power and provides the expectation of excess power needed to justify building storage.

But did they give rid of the “add entire database worth of data to the current message” button?

One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual.

Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters…

Basically all megacorporations do that to everyone. Treating humans as just another sort of capital is a basic part of their existence. Doesn’t mean you should ignore the problems of funding these people.

Doesn’t matter how short or long it is. People intentionally write simple short sentences all the time with extra words that like 90% misread. The easiest of of these sentences to make are those that happen to have a word repeat after a linewrap, especially short common words. Than and that are close enough to fit into that same overlook.

Soon we’ll abolish all transportation for being woke!

Countries are just a social construct.

Isn’t it more like they are living together now? Where USA created small reservations for Indians after killing and beating them into submission.

Canada’s history (including very recent history) with natives has been bad, which includes the forced assimilation programs that didn’t end until the mid 1990’s…

Doubt they’ll be carpet bombing neighborhoods on our own soil lmao.

It wouldn’t be the first time the US has bombed its own neighborhood…

I thought he got famous for anti-semetic jokes he made in his late-20’s.

Given my consumption of video games tends to be through small twitch streams and the streams I watch tend to play lots of indie stuff, I at least get the impression that Indie games are what I hear and know most about. Like, I didn’t even know Astro Boy was a 3d platformer until I saw it being speedrun at GDQ this winter.

I feel like the huge success of games like Balatro shows how indies already have a lot of peer to peer spread. That said, I suspect there is a luck component to going viral and that other solid indie games are being ignored for mediocre AAA games. But it’s hard for me to tell how popular games like Uncle Chop’s or Cobalt Core are because I see far more people playing them than I do people playing games like Star Citizen or even Black Myth Wukong.

That said, there certainly are some indies that are hardware intensive, but I don’t think I’ve seen any that are GPU intensive. But simulation games like Dyson Sphere Program and Stonehearth certainly can benefit from a beefier CPU or extra RAM (the latter partly due to a memory leak).

Could be there stockpiled for excuses to target specific people to be fired and only read when they have someone they’re targeting.

Crisis or opportunity for “job creators” to hire at lower wages?

Curious when that cost is based on. Given future contracts are often purchased in advanced, those prices could reflect prices from months ago, when the wholesale market price was 1/3rd of the current price. Guess still not technically a loss leader if they price current inventory based on what they are paying for future inventory though.

Yeah, local prices can very a lot. My local prices are pretty similar to the ones in this article. But some places have been over $10/dozen for some time.

USDA’s puts them at $7.74/dozen based on futures and project to get to nearly $10 this year. Given eggs can often be loss leaders, actual prices might not match contract prices everywhere, but stores trying to bring in customers and increasing other prices to compensate means looking directly at consumer egg prices might be misleading.

Just because those are there (I assumed it was a legal requirement), doesn’t mean most people actually factor in the difference.

ass electricity

Glad my ass runs on gas instead of electric. /j

Its almost like they don’t want people to be able to make informed decisions about things.

edit: obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/37/

any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing.

Awesome Lemmy Instances shows nearly 500 and its outdated.

Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I’ve had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I’m using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).
