- Comment on People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war? 3 days ago:
Who is the other enemy is this supposed cold war ?
The cold war was between the US and the USSR. They did not actually fight or bomb each other.
The USA, Israel,and Iran and others are actually killing people, destroying property and wealth. That is not a cold war.
The other wars weren’t cold. Vietnam was not a cold war. Nor was Korea or the first Iraq war were not cold wars.
So I’m not sure I understand the question.

It was illegal to be a gay male in England.
Being gay required living two lives … and one of them you had to keep in the closet.

- Comment on Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder? 2 weeks ago:
If you don’t want/can’t move start with a space that is your space. Define some boundaries to the hoard.
Then organize your clutter into things you use and things you would use.
Then use your storage to put away all the stuff that you use.
Then in the clutter pile organize that again into “things i can’t get again” and “stuff that easily available”
Then the hard part: throw out the “stuff that is easily available”
You can’t have organizational boundaries as such so you are not willing to let some stuff go. It is hard.
But if you don’t want to move out make a space as your fight back against the clutter there first. If you can do that you can do another room. And then another.

- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 2 weeks ago:
that crash and burn will be the onus of the consumer not being able to consume.
we will lose access to free range computing and have to live with asking AI for permission to use the computing power to play a game or pay our bills.
that will be the crash and burn victims here.

- Comment on We dont talk about what happened to Alex Pretti enough. 3 weeks ago:
What’s crazy is that I believe that they had planned it out after their first interactions with Pretti beforehand. And they prolly honed in on his facebook and knew that he would come to the aid of a woman being manhandled.
Like a football play in a sandlot but with dead people at the end of it.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 3 weeks ago:
No this is more like that old legend about the French colonial forces trying to solve the local rat problem in a Vietnamese city by paying the local populations 1 franc per rat that they kill and turn in. It made the local breed rats to kill and turn.
We need to recognize we are now “the locals” in that scenario. We need to milk the billionaire class dry at every turn.

- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 3 weeks ago:
Because “the revolution” to the French is not the on in 1776. Nor is it “the revolution” for most of the world. The French Revolution was the big one.
Americans and Europeans shit on the French over WW2 with little regard to the damage done to human life in France during WW1. There are still uninhabitable zones in France from the world military poisoning swathes of land in WW1 with shells, mines, munitions and corpses.

- Comment on Twenty four US states are now considering legislation to allow small, plug-in solar power systems that connect directly into a wall socket. 3 weeks ago:
In Washington state, a labor union representing electrical workers and the Association of Washington Business, a regional business group, testified against the state’s plug-in solar bill. Neither responded to questions about their position.
Spokeswomen for Puget Sound Energy and Avista Corporation, two Washington State utilities that testified against the bill, said their companies had safety concerns about plug-in solar technology and were waiting to see how the issues are addressed.
Yeah I called PSE and they gave that same spiel. They should partner with someone to make safe balcony solar kits for Washington state home.
No vision.
- Comment on A Groundbreaking Geothermal Heating and Cooling Network Saves This Colorado College Money and Water - Inside Climate News 3 weeks ago:
The dorm required more heating than cooling, but the academic buildings, where students are crammed into classrooms and lecture halls, required more cooling. To Smith, it was counterproductive to spend energy heating one building while simultaneously spending more to cool the others. If heat could be pulled from the academic buildings and pushed to the dorm, it would reduce the energy needs of all three buildings, Smith said.
That is one of those so simple its brilliant but also it is complicated and brilliant
