He/him. Comics, video games, pro wrestling, college football, transit nerd. I'll also probably share my orange cats. They're not very bright.
@marcoarment Overcast refuses to believe me when I manually rearrange episodes in a playlist that I really intended to do it and consistently reverts everything back shortly afterward. This would be somewhat less annoying if it would actually play Top Episode Next like the setting I have on says it should do but just....doesn't.
The point of solar panels is not to ensure "solar profitability," but to make for a greener, better world. Its profitability is only justified insofar as it moves us towards that goal. If we want to switch to renewables, then sometimes we're going to have surplus, because of how renewables work. This is well known and discussed ad nauseam. If that makes power markets unstable, then the problem is with markets, not with there being too many solar panels.

Watching a mutual ask for printer recs and receive a chorus of tired tech folk going "Just get a Brother, they're fine" and man

MAN

Like this is actually kinda fascinating honestly, Brother is now the best printer brand, the one that every Computer Person recommends, and is it because their printers are good? Their printers are fine, they print, whatever, no, it's because everybody else's printers have gotten Innovated out the wazoo, every innovation making them way worse, until it's gotten to the point where I wouldn't have one in the house even if it were free, and meanwhile Brother's have remained consistently Fine I Guess, which now makes them the best printer manufacturer simply by virtue of them opting out of the Who Can Get Crappiest Fastest race

Brother have gotten to where they are now, by NOT innovating

“It is just over,” journalist @caseynewton told The Post.

“If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website.”

Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.

Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

Not to make SAG-AFTRA's strike about me - I certainly wasn't, but I just applied to be a steward in my union. Solidarity makes us all stronger, and I hope I can help even a little bit,
Proof once again, we are stronger together and we all can win. https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/sag-aftra-tentative-deal-historic-strike-1235771894/
