The exorbitant PG&E charges are usually "delivery charges," not the "generation charge" iirc. So we're paying reasonable rates for cheap, clean energy, but we're getting charged out the ass for getting the electricity to our home.

It sucks either way, but charging for delivery sucks more because on top of it all if we run solar and sell back to the grid we only get the generation charge (which is minimal). At least, that's my understanding


we don't currently have a home solar installation.

It's overpriced hardware

Have you seen the M4 benchmarks?

If you're memory bound then sure, you can get way more bang for your buck with Intel/AMD. But for pretty amazing CPU performance I think the "Apple is overpriced" trope isn't really true any more.

If you don't want to sail the high seas, and you don't want to pay, the library is a great, free option.

Many, many (most?) commercial ham radios are powered by ~12VDC, and can be run directly off of a car battery in many cases (always use a fuse, kids!).

Olive oil is delicious, and I've always loved acidic foods


so long as there's yummy dressing on the salad, sign me up.

Just get in the habit of making simple dressing, e.g., EVOO, red or balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt & pepper. (Mustard helps with emulsification.) Yes oil is caloric, but afaik this is much healthier than drowning your salad in ranch or Thousand Island or whatever.

Olive oil can make you feel full, too, so even though you're eating fat, it can be a net win.

A Mediterranean diet is delicious, vegetarian/vegan compatible and, I think, fairly healthy. But mostly it's the delicious that counts.

Who the fuck said we had to choose either?

They did, and pointing that out will (I'm guessing) be met with some form of covering their ears and saying "nah nah nah I can't hear you."

Ah, pretty sure that'd be the whole OnStar transceiver, too (which isn't a bad thing to disable...).

I thought the antenna itself was behind a fuse (as in, feedline has an inline fuse) which would be a peculiar design I think.

Are antennas usually behind a fuse?

Unable to comply.

Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it.

Repulsa wants to blow up the sun, and only you two can stop her!

Just want you to know we're all rooting for you!

Someone described respectful ways of interacting with children similarly


you can bring yourself down to their level, or you can bring them up to yours. Both are respectful, and there's no "talking down" to anyone.
