- Comment on I’m very good at math and would like health insurance. What is the easiest option? 3 weeks ago:
Not to do it once but to do it for hour after hour whole tournament leaves a lot of room mistakes! That’s what separates the wheat from the chaff.

All we can see is his haircut (he’s lined up fine), his glasses (nothing obvious) and his shirt (odd). I think it’s a jump to say a make over will do this man more good than not wearing a shirt that says “I want to have sex with the youngest woman I legally can.” Which comes off like minimum wage thinking, sort of how they’d pay you less if it were legal.

Very cool. I’d like to be that remote one day.

They may struggle to reach price parity for a set up where space and weight aren’t limiting if you’re getting a full 5 years or whatever out of your batteries. I never did with lead acid but maybe I’d take care of them better if they ran my house!
Do you mind sharing your reason for using a battery bank to power your house? Is it solar or a backup charged by the grid? - Comment on Biwatt releases 4.5 kWh sodium-ion battery - Energy Storage 5 weeks ago:
A lot. My use case is off grid camper living. We live in a camper about 4 months a year not counting weekend trips and vacations. Lead acid batteries have to be minded and hate being discharged below 50%. The lifepo4 batteries have a super low self discharge rate, don’t need any minding and can be discharged down to 15% or 10% before they start degrading. I would need 400 Ah of leadacid batteries to equal the 200 Ah I have now.
So weight and space savings, no maintenance, harder to damage. I definitely recommend. - Comment on Biwatt releases 4.5 kWh sodium-ion battery - Energy Storage 5 weeks ago:
I can’t answer the why but there was a warning sticker on my new lifepo4 batteries with similar limitations. So not chemistry dependent.

It’s nice that they microwave your food for you.

One step above nuggets if you’re lucky. Nuggets in Buffalo sauce at cheaper places.

- Comment on If trump shaved his head and didn't wear any makeup do you think you would recognize him? 1 month ago:
The question was if someone removed their makeup also not just shaved their head. For the question and answer to match the people in my response must be people who normally wear makeup.

I don’t think I could with anyone except my wife and even that would take a minute.

- Comment on Everybody thinks of Do-Re-Mi, but it's Lonely Goatherd that really slaps. 2 months ago:
I watch this movie about three times a week currently. Usually just the first half because my kids fall asleep before intermission. The first hour/hour and fifteen minutes of this movie is just banger after banger. All Gas No Brakes until after favorite things but a case can be made that Do Re Mi ends the spectacular run of songs.

In the sterile text fields that compose the internet, you can’t hear the slide rack sound that precedes every American utterance.
- Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? 2 months ago:
Parachuted some and mixed some with milk. I wouldn’t recommend. Nothing worth possibly dying over.
- Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? 2 months ago:
IIRC when I took it recreationally itwas many many grams to get to the hallucinations part. It was hard to stomach. Unless the safety profile is pretty narrow I’d say it would be difficult to complete suicide with nutmeg.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 3 months ago:
End up like AOL and get big enough to buy time Warner and make a lot investors very rich? I feel like your downplaying the success of aol. Last I heard that whatever was left of them in Yahoo was supposedly still making money.
- Comment on Didn't believe what I was seeing 3 months ago:
The anchor points are usually in the bed or the side of the stake holes. On my truck (half ton dodge) none of the places to tie on to are visible.

Can you access the http ports from outside your home network?

- Comment on 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows 7 months ago:
My phone for today says 3 hours and i haven’t watched any TV. So me I guess. Yesterday said 3.5 but I watched part of a baseball game so it probably totaled 4.5. I think most days I’d be under four hours of total screen time. I’d be under everyday for sure if we excepted reading. Moonreader+ has 2 of my three hours. The rest is feed reader and jerboa.
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 7 months ago:
It just improves the ability to focus. It doesn’t really make one focus on the right thing. Also, the alteration in abilities isn’t free. The good effects of any drug are weighed against the side effects. There is always an opportunity cost to any drug. The poster above you was right on with his steroid comparison.

Firefox for Android. Wouldn’t load the list of beaches for me until I turned off shelter. Just kept reloading whatever frame is beneath the text input.
- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 7 months ago:
I’ve used that website in the past with no problem but a heads up I had to turn on js and off antifingerprinting to get it to load this time. For all those more security conscious than I
- Comment on Support local bands 7 months ago:
I used to love big arena shows until I saw a famous band do a three night stand at a small bar/club style venue. After that, I started going to shows of bands/performers I hadn’t heard of. Changing how I thought of shows, where before I thought of it as an event like going to see a theatre play, to thinking about them similarly to how I’d think of going to the movie theater made the whole live scene seem more accessible and more fun. I hope when my kids are older we can start going to more shows again.
I read an article that said being in a band is less appealing to kids these days and that being an influencer is more popular than wanting to be a Rockstar. I hope it’s just “old man yells at clouds” because I feel like there is always room for more local acts. Support your neighbors, go dance!

Cool. How old was your kid when they could start using the design program well? It never occurred to me in all the years I’ve known about and decided I didn’t want a 3d printer that I could make stuff with the kids.
