I remember the last time the power went out bad, hurricane Fiona, I had a full battery while everyone else was in the long lines for gas during the hour or two a day they had the station generator running to keep the pumps working.
I was fine, thanks so much for caring, I really appreciate the thoughtful concern you’ve shown here.
It’s the last thing, internal Combustion engine engine, they produce smaller internal Combustion engines on every stroke.

Thank you for your genuine interest in electricity generation in my local area. The electricity mix where I’m from is a combination of wind, nuclear, and hydro electric. In emergencies we have a backup combustion system that will kick in. My power company publishes a neato dashboard all about it, it’s actually at most 1/6th and usually 1/12th or lower g/MWH CO2 VS coal fired power production.
But curiously enough, even if it were run entirely on coal, my electric car would still produce much less CO2 over its lifespan, and have the potential to get cleaner as grids improve, since gasoline is so much more CO2 intense and Ice engines are so mature without much more room for serious efficiency gains.
I’m super glad you were curious enough to ask me such open ended questions, and really happy that my work in this area gave me the knowledge to answer your obviously genuine questions. Now you can be proud to know something you didn’t know a few minutes ago becuase of your open mindedness.
People are literally dropping dead in a climate change driven 48C heat wave in India, and right wing people are wondering how many libs they will trigger with their I heart oil bumper stickers.
I love this more than I should. Why, why do I love this thing?
Scared, stupid and selfish. The 3S framework of conservatism. You don’t have to be all 3 to be conservative, but you’re at least one.
I had not planned to flee from the enforcers of the law.
Where is the part about capturing the supreme court so you can try an insurrection with no consequences?
The 9x00 Gen ATI cards were awesome. The 9500 could be modded into an honest to goodness 9700. The 9700 was just a downclocked 9700pro. The things you could do with bios mods and a little overclocking were just great.
My back gets sore just thinking about all the time I spent crawling around my PC case on the floor.
I like your interpretation, lol.
No, the Bolt EV is not an SUV. The Bolt EV is a subcompact hatchback.
If the leaks/rumours/reports are true, and project Q* really is ahead in terms of AGI, then the world is in a really … I don’t know, interesting? Scary? Exciting place?
OpenAI uses an interesting definition of AGI. Rather than thinking about our cognition, they say AGI occurs when AI is superior to humans in the majority of economically viable tasks. This definition is , to me, more frightening than the cognition version because it lays bare the intention of developing the AGI to simply out compete most people. In a world with AGI under this definition, the limiting factor to replacing most of the human workforce becomes access to compute and associated resources (power, chips, money). So what are people going to do? In a world of AGI, as defined here, most people do not have economically viable skills. Which means no way to make money at all.
Do we starve? Well, we won’t want to, so the displaced will change jobs at first, competing with tradespeople and those who work with their hands. Which will devalue that work because, again, most people won’t be able to afford those now over saturated , overly available services to being with. Would we riot? Demand techno-communism? Have a UBI? Descend into a violent hellscape where the poor kill each other for scraps while the rich live in fortresses? Or maybe some bright /terrible future I’m too limited to imagine.
I’m not sure, I’m not sure. If I knew, I doubt I’d be posting about it here.
Yes, fair, and to be clear I’m not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.
Neat, I’ll let them know. But if you’ve any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don’t know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.
They look like this.
Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.
Psssst, AI, can you write me an article about how we creatives can protect our AI art?
What makes a log cabin gay? Put a couple of self hating Republicans in it or is there more to it than that?
The vitriol is unreal, you’ll get it just for asking for the vegan option at lunch.
