Lol this is exactly where my mind went

Judging by the article its purpose is to improve power availability during peak load times.

I don’t know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.

Edit: Adding “libretube” as well based on some of the replies to this comment.

If you think Christianity fits this description then you have a poor understanding of Christianity.

ITT: A collectively poor understanding of Christian theology

Even if I don’t agree with you on all of what you said I agree with most of it. Sound reasoning and all that. The autism/aspergers ‘excuse’ is definitely hard to accept given his history.

Regardless, someone like him simply shouldn’t be at the positions he has held if the open source community is to gain progress.

I’m conflicted here. The fact that he’s a weirdo is kind of irrelevant imo. He’s philosophically uncompromising and unmoved by social pressure. The only thing separating him from most tech CEOs is that he lacks an organization investing millions into his health, image, publicity etc Most big time executives are degenerates but no one cares because they are good at what they do. I think he’s good at making software free even if he’s a socially inept [insert criticism here] in his personal life. Additionally I’m saying this as someone who disagrees with him on basically every other issue he takes a stand on.

Yeah. I’m not a big “celebrity” person but he’s had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.

In this specific example, my question is why pay farmers to not grow crops instead of encouraging them to create a surplus and just paying them the difference in the price drop?

The farmers are getting paid to do nothing ergo if you stop compensating them for doing nothing they will grow crops instead to make up for the difference. The government is whole reason this scenario is messed up in the first place.

The government paying farmers not to grow something isn’t capitalism. If anything it’s central planning.

Poor options doesn’t mean no options. People aren’t starving or “not eating” as the meme suggests. I never said “Poor people have it great, get everything they want and have a great diet”. My point is that poor people have so much food (of varying quality) that they are obese which is in contrast to the rest of the world. Don’t forget that most middle class Americans are obese too. Statistically most people in America eat poorly regardless of their income.

I’ve read the article. I’ve posted it on this instance before. To my original point there are problems but no one is starving. This is an issue more complex than the stupid meme wants to admit.

I don’t disagree in regard to the general nutritiousness of their options. At the same time there is extremely poor education around food and life skills in general. Presented with two options most people in America would choose the least healthful one.

In contrast to international trends, people in America who live in the most poverty-dense counties are those most prone to obesity

Reminder that obesity is one of the biggest health issues amongst the poor in the United States… There are tons of issues but no one is starving in the US.

Thanks! I’ll try this out.

Fellow Caddy user here. I’d love to set that up. Can you share your Caddyfile or at least the important snippets?

Not that I’m aware of lol and I have an 800 page book on what to do with extra eggs

They are the happiest chickens in the world. They get fresh vegetable scraps and free range during the day. They are locked up at night for their protection. I’m not stealing their eggs any more than they are stealing my feed.

Just get chickens. They produce a ton of eggs and manure for gardening. Outside of the coop they’ve got to be the cheapest, most worthwhile investment of my adult life. 3 eggs for breakfast everyday and I’m still swimming in them.

Call your senior relatives

Good advice. I don’t regret any of the time I spent with my Grandma. She was hysterically funny and would always stop what she was doing to chat. I could tell she really valued the time. She also taught me a ton of stuff about cooking, canning etc

Regular interaction helps them avoid senility as well.
