- Comment on Free Solar for Farmers: Climate Law Gives Rich Incentives | President Biden’s clean-energy subsidies are covering entire project costs and then some 2 days ago:
Parking lots. Oh yes please.
Stop solar heating the blacktop and our cars. Allow us to park in the shade and offset your store’s electric bill.
Seriously parking lots are such low hanging fruit
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 week ago:
Because that philosophy has won over the most people.
I didn’t say it was the best. You may or may not believe that living in a yurt foraging mushrooms might be the best life; but “western “ civilization has deemed capitalism to be the way.
Under capitalism people need money to use for the things they want that they cannot make themselves.
A wise man once said “Money can’t buy me Love” —but it certainly improves your bargaining position

Also this.
An investment advisor should help with your investment portfolio and strategies
A cpa will know the tax code and how to wrangle those losses to offset gains

Right. Maybe I’ve got Dune on the brain, but is there no (eff me) cost effective way to recapture any of that evaporation and return or reuse it?
Not that it really matters….

Interesting… pbs news hour was only concerned with the water usage. And how they are going to take 2 billion gallons of water out of the Colorado river
Where is that water going? Are they just letting it evaporate?
- Comment on Backing-up Single Board Computer 4 months ago:
There are options good and bad.
I’d back up just the dockers. The OS can be rebuilt easily enough. Yes Rsync the data
Or. Shut it down, pull the SD card, put it in another computer and rip it as an image, Full bootable backup
I would do the first not the second.

Imho. They are not voting based on those facts. They voted for him because he said the things they want to hear. Nothing to do with the truth; you’re not being kept down by billionaires, it is those (wink) people….
No one who thought about it ever thought trump would build that wall and Mexico would pay for it; but people scared of MS-13 being active in their podunk town rallied around him for saying that
