but flannel pants are pajamas are only for wearing inside
What? Have you never seen the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? You can definitely get legitimate (plaid) pants. Probably not flannel not sure that matters here if the pattern is what you have in mind.

I didn’t realize until I read your linked article that wireless charging is essentially induction. Contactless. I have never had one of these devices. Now I want modern earbuds even less. Thanks for sharing that article!

I’m not sure how to feel about this, either, haha. But both my sister and I are 40+ and she has not had a computer for at least 10 years. Smartphone only.

Wow, seeing this collage the first thing that came to mind was a Jamiroquai video, and the only video from this picture referenced is this new-to-me group. So fitting. Thanks!

Thank you! I work on rangelands, so having good info makes a big difference when I speak with these folks. I can’t use the sheep examples because we all know it may not be relevant.
I’ll get to reading.

sheep are the easiest to graze under common panels
These are the studies I have read, but cattle are what exist right outside of town. We have a lot of sheep, too, but not where the panels would go. I would like to find a study about cattle, if you have one to share, that would be great!

Form a local power coop with your neighbors or village, and you might be able to make sure that grocer never loses power again
That is essentially what our power coop has proposed. I think they are talking about solar only, but it hasn’t been popular with the ranchers 🙁️ It was just this year, so I think it will gain traction over time. This climate is complicated with regard to the shade from panels but the studies about solar panels in ranch land are good and I think it will happen, we just need more town folks to show up to the meetings. The grocer incident will be, I think, a game changer. The ranchers depend on that store also.
- Comment on Once a Gamble in the Desert, Electric Grid Batteries Are Everywhere 4 weeks ago:
In the last few years, one of these has gone up adjacent to a new solar installation somewhat close to my area. I wish I heard more about them (especially this one I have seen) but I mostly hear about hydropower since that is the primary source we have. I live really far away from any power source and our local power coop has discussed possibly putting one closer to town but nothing has come of it. I think it could be great but am not sure how these things work in a supplementary capacity. Last year our grocer lost many products due to a fire two hours away causing a lengthy power interruption. I think these things could be great for local power but my view is from a rural western US standpoint and probably won’t apply to many places.

This was the main reason my mom’s side didn’t pass language down. Not even food! Just assimilate 🤷♂️ But they were peasants in a new country so best to make it work in the easiest way possible. It sounds like OP has it pretty rough 🙁

I have this exact feeling when “discussing” this topic with folks that believe a country should be run as a business. It’s so misguided! People are residents, not employees, and they shouldn’t be able to be fired by the country they are living in. This “firing” does seem to be happening in the US right now, tho 👎

For my work, we sometimes use “don’t let perfect get in the way of good enough,” but at this point in time your framing seems particularly apt.

Dang. I haven’t had a console since NES and am bummed to hear that is a thing with a closed system at this point in time. NES only did that as it aged and we didn’t blow the right way 😅
- Comment on It would have been really funny if a video game ejected the disk if you lost too many times 2 months ago:
Sometimes the game would just quit. But I remember that being more of a thing when floppies were around and playing a game in DOS using a CD was stressing the system. Or that cheap 5 in 1 floppy game package that had some bad code.

Your first sentence needs work. This is what they are talking about. We get that English may not be your first language, and that's OK, but that sentence is pretty bad and isn't conveying a coherent message.

Ya 🫤 Jerry is still touring (I think). He was good live then, but the last time I saw him was like a month or two after Layne's death. It's been awhile. He's older, but so am I, and presumably you 🙂 His solo stuff was great. We ended up getting a lot of AiC stiff at that '02 show. Very solid performance. Not really related, but I've heard the Sublime stuff is good, but I wasn't ever that into them, just have a friend who has stuck with it.

I've heard the name, but otherwise I really don't know the connection. I know she is an "influencer," is it the bad influence connection?
