You can't even stop it here. Start here.

These are examples of foolhardy people who miscalculated risks. But at the same time these are also examples of people who were solely motivated by selfish reasons. There is a romance to it if you squint but it is not the same.

The mountaineers knew the odds are long and did it anyway for a cause greater than themselves. That is what makes them heroic.

This is absolutely true I was throttled and they flag and hide my posts trying to confirm this which is unbelievably gross. :/

I hope you see this I'm sorry if it bummed you out. My apologies.

You will find that on occasion grown men throw caution to the wind and consciously take seemingly unnecessary irresponsible risks for personal glory and the greater good.

  As a consequence of World War I, there was a lack of a whole generation of strong young men.

  The British wanted the climb to be an example of British spirit to lift morale.

God bless, reading this only makes me think of these heroes even more charitably. Such irresponsible people are once again desperately needed.

If you'd like this sentiment expressed in a less somber manner Shatner got you covered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2ftCitvyQ

Yes it was obvious bait mr 5d chess. Nobody looking at this thinks it is mysterious either.

Since you unflagged it and appear to be suddenly as befuddled as I am about why it was flagged in the first place it seems that you agree with me that it shouldn't have been.

I'd be pretty concerned about these mysterious false flags.

P.S. - Mr Slater immediately jumped to your defense with the usual party line. Possibly a bit too quickly this time, your overwhelming fairness is showing guys. I'm touched.

I'm more partial to the theory tonynator puts forth.

Yes correct, I'm throttled I was gonna tell you.

Also if they don't know that I still don't get why they'd downvote you. People are lame, I'm sorry friend.

If you're not sure why it matters that I'm quoting Thomas Jefferson in this thread and not some random person I think you can feel free to pipe down telling people what is and isn't substantive and read a book.

P.S. - Hi Dang. I summon thee. Umpteenth example.

Edit:

  To quote dang from the last time:
  "you're posting too many low quality comments, especially unsubstantive comments and/or flamebait"

Spare me, the reason given for the flag is that I am apparently calling for violence. He is exquisitely out of line all over this thread, not just with me. Kettle pot.

It is remarkable that you attempt to paint quoting Thomas Jefferson in that light. In context and linked to a scan of one of his letters on a government website mind you.

These pearl clutching games you play are beyond the pale.

Oh look it got unflagged, I guess there is hope yet.

That is a thing. I met a mother-daughter duo, they'd travel with a little bag and disappear to do that and it wasn't a big deal and they claimed results.

Really no idea, there are quite of few of these potential treatments, people actively try and hack it. It depends on the specific situation what is appropriate to try.

I'm in full remission for a very long time already against all odds. It completely ruined my childhood and I'm thankful for everyday and leave with it as a sword of Damocles.

The correlation does not mean the microplastics are the thing causing IBD. It probably means they are exasperating it for various reasons. Goddamit.

Incidentally so do things like poppy seeds.

I got hit with this at 10 years old. Suspiciously to me after returning from a year in the US, before that there was no sign of any problems. IBD presents all over the world and I'm guessing predates the microplastics phenomena.

The other interesting correlation I know of is a lack of exposure to dirty things as a toddler. I've sort of given up any hope that it will be figured out in my lifetime despite occasional wiggles of hope from articles like this.

Generally in the community people theorize all kinds of things about diet and some are lucky to reach and stay in remission by eating a narrow diet that agrees with them - but what exactly that is varies wildly across individuals. I've never found a common thread.

Sell everything and invest in GME joker. Kitty got claws!

That is fantastic and congratulations! Actually hit me in the feels a little.

I'm so very nervous about the side effects, I know a lot of people like this. My faith is shook and I worry but I could never argue against it either.

Rooting for them/you to complete the journey and get off this shit successfully asap and never relapse.

Good luck buddy! Life changing !

You don't need to care about that anymore it is rolled up into the battery product.

Can you really put a price on fun? No fun allowed? Why do we even need playing cards in the first place that's a waste of good paper.

I get the argument here but you really should keep things in perspective. E-waste is a real and massive problem. This is a tiny tiny project it is neither here nor there.

Say it blows up and becomes extremely popular (it won't)? Like any other piece of electronics solutions will be available. Cross that bridge when you get there.

The fun and education aspect is in fact better than physical cards and worthwhile.

Also if we really think deeply about it this project may end up being better for the environment not worse.

It's just for the bits and pieces. I wouldn't be intimidated as it is basically plug and play at this point.

The marketing, installation and paperwork triple or even quadruple the price as people way $whatever to not deal with it. Being a sparky is way more lucrative than even a plumber.

We picked the wrong career I tell you.

Here's the same fellow from above showing off the latest panels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v33nbi7gKcY

From his perspective it is down to $0.27 per watt.

In order to fill up those 14Kwh batteries you'll need fewer than 10 panels (400watts per panel, x4 hours sunshine). So less than $1,000.

The inverter is less than $1,000.

And the battery is heading to below $3,000.

YouTubers like MKBHD have videos up where they paid six figures for their setups and wonder whether it is worth it due to the long payback heh. I know not fair comparison whatever, we're just talking.

I have no idea what to do about NIMBY type problems but you can setup an off grid cabin somewhere with all the creature comforts very very easily now.

Thanks, I love the many versions of this song, fun to jam :)

BTW this is how these exchanges looks like in my browser: https://imgur.com/qLwS1jV

Hi Dang! What's up with all that? I emailed and everything.

Which way should I be orienting myself based on this I wonder:

  > Have a nice day
  > You Too <- They flagged this

I'll look it up just for you.

Tesla powerwall 3 13.5 kWh - $9,300

EG4 Wall Mount Indoor Battery 14.3kWh - $3,300

https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-wallmount-indoor-battery-48v-...

I used to watch teardowns. It is all the same junk inside. It is a commodity you don't need Tesla or BYD to make you a pretty box really.

Here it is in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W4dTw_hXdU

These have come a very long way in recent years and the price will continue to drop but the same applies. You don't need to wait as you'll be saving a negligible amount going forward.

If you know what you are doing all in <$5,000 to go off the grid.

High efficiency: $0.19 Mainstream: $0.13 Junk tier: $0.08

Trending flat as of late with single digit percentage reductions in price to be expected year over year.

At these prices the actual panels for most houses would be below $1,000 wholesale. The vast majority of the cost is elsewhere.

It is great that it keeps getting cheaper but at this point the returns are diminishing. If you're thinking of buying something there is no new tech or anything on the horizon worth waiting for just go ahead.

In that case I shall endeavor to be ill at ease youthful and unfriendly... :P

In all seriousness something tells me this is not the issue this person has with me. Fully half my posts are supposedly flagged dontchaknow? I am to be shunned.

And they are unsurprisingly keeping schtum after the typical drive by character assassination.

I don't believe for a moment that was the initial aim of systemd. They just tried to improve on a pile of hacks and by pulling on that string it sort of ends up touching (or from your perspective infecting) everything.

It vaguely reminds me of people arguing about "what color is your function". You open that portal and end up in a new universe. All or nothing.

The unix wars are long over I'm not sure what you can point to that ever was a True Unix. Nostalgia not withstanding. What well defined standard Right Way you're actually clinging to is not clear.

Whether it will end up for the best or not I don't know but the entire saga seems to be the pitfalls of endless tinkering on display rather than some unifying vision. I wish we lived in a world where systemd type efforts had clear end goals and well thought out architecture in mind when they start but open source doesn't like working this way.

It just ends up as "my favorite way of doing things is better" based on vibes. In both directions. That's the problem with "philosophies".

I'm glad you found it worthwhile unlike the people who buried the comment (god knows what their problem is ;). That entire channel is wonderful.

Is that so? A full half? I'm curios if you can link a few of them and what you find objectionable that I deserve to be shunned by you like this.

What pray tell is your issue with me? I assume a thoughtful response is forthcoming here.

I think Posy would have something to say about this abomination.

Here is the actual good thing, gone but not forgotten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkPSDOjhxwM

You too.

Evidently not. :)

I recommend you watch the children's cartoons.

They were made by true artists who snuck quite a bit past clueless censors at personal risk.

It had to be quite subtle and takes on a very poignant heartbreaking meaning if you understand the context fully. They were talking to you in the here and now. Listen.
