  see that is what im talking about. residential should buy and sell by the same hourly rate if they want to. If you don’t want to sell you can opt out the hourly rate. again they would have to have the law say that if changed any current user gets to keep it grandfathered so anyone who buys panels won’t lose it.

  yeah I was gonna say that $5 for me at the grocery store is more like $20 now. One thing I complain about a lot is places that won’t take over a $20 nowadays. Yeah in the 80’s I could understand when you would get change after buying the weeks groceries with one, but since $100 is the largest denomination consumers have access to they should accept anything.

  I lived in an area that could compete for worst in my city. And it was legitametly bad. There was a gang but oddly it was a small one smooched between two larger ones territory wise and it effectively was like a little crime family as the leadership all came from one family. There were basically three types of folks. The criminal gang types, the im going to act shitty because its the ghetto assholes, and the last third where hard working and down on their luck folk who appreciated niceness and politeness. Now granted they also did not call police (which is understandable) which is why the gang could operate with somewhat impunity.

  All the tasty humans get so paranoid about ai and how it might be trying to hide among them and blend in so it can prey on them one by one. Its like lower your temperature my male siblings!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea. governing system idealism wise we should be like two peas in a pod. One of my I wish I had done differently was I wish I would have taken french rather than spanish. Partially because the sentence structure is more similar and partially because of canada. The other option would be german because I was stem and did some choral things here and there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  chuck berry, buddy holly, elvis, jerry lee lewis, johnny cash, richie valens. It was not all unremarkable and doubly so for the time. If you include the ones coming out of the end of the 50’s you got smokey robinson and aretha franklin which have some stuff I just love. Im not a big elvis or cash fan but there are a few songs. One thing funny about elvis for me is I like a lot of remakes of his songs with a bit of modern flare from modern artists.

  if you really want to hurt them use a free account and keep on asking to make you innane pictures and stuff. I mean it will waste energy though but it will cost them money.

• ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Im really excited for this because i have a porch outlet that im pretty sure is on a single line with my hvac unit that is pretty heavy duty. Of course I will need to be in a disposable income situation to get one of these.

• ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  which is listed the states but apparently it can’t load the whole article without javascript. I find that hard to believe.

• ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not. Its obvious these things are not just being done with no thought or input. Im pretty confident anything passed could have likely been higher but they will put in large margins of safety.

• ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I see all these articles about how data centers need more power and how the state is working on it and its like. Hey how about you allow all residences to paid the market rate for energy they add to the grid and sitpulate if its ever changed they have to grandfather in all current users. That would boost rooftop solar so fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh SURE. That makes so much sense that a culture would lack “sarcasm”. I can TOTALLY see that being a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah this is not what poison means to me. to me poisoning is giving them false information when they ask you for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah it kinda makes me happy when the ads are wrong and I sure don’t want to correct my profile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans rarely refer to the US as America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I use both as well as USA and united states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  don’t forget about the random people kidnapped or murdered by thugs but the thugs say they deserve it because after they murdered and kinapped a bit one of um kicked their car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or is there a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah it was just a joke comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or is there a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I think that is a big thing people have to keep in mind with the internet. I try my best to love you all but I don’t make decisions with what I “learn” from hanging it out internet spaces. I sometimes laugh at myself when I get to upset by something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or is there a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  this is hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or is there a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No but maybe you tell me where all this porn spam is active so I can stay away from it.

  Most of the time anyone who travels by care are or can be the driver of the conveyance. That is very rare for people who travel by train, bus, ship, plane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not 100% on topic but I had a printer that I thought had issues and turns out it has no issues under linux. One of the delightful things I found out by switching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it block rfid? If not not anything with rfid unless they are in rfid blocking sleeves.

  I have multiple reasons to have something like this but I live near an airport and have a cockatoo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I even see that as bs. My friend worked for BK back in the 80’s when they were still decent and tacitly the manager would stop over making of food but he erred on the side of over and they took stuff home and it was a nice little perk. Now granted if its abused to the point they are like reselling the stuff then yeah you gotta nail them. It just blows me away how bad minimum wage jobs have gotten and how many regular jobs have been pushed closer and closer to min wage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I was thinking maybe a squeeze kind of thing but like I don’t smoke but its nice to have a lighter so like I could see having it on a keychain and if over a period of months it was topped off and ready to do a few ignition attempts that would be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP has laptop subscriptions now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah just responding in general. If it was cheap enough I could see doing it but it would have to be quite a savings because I keep my stuff going for awhile. Figure the yearly cost could not be any higher than 20% new but the cost would either have to go down over time or they would need to swap out for a new one each year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP has laptop subscriptions now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  businesses used to rent computers all the time but im not sure how many do in this millenia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me wonder if you could have one with a capacitor and a fly wheel or something and maybe even work somewhat like a self winding watch.
