It's so silly. Even if you don't understand the science of climate change (which isn't that fucking hard to understand) you can definitely understand this;

• Solar PV + Battery: ~2.0–2.7 USD/W (2.4~ $/kW)
• Solar PV standalone: ~1.33–2.74 USD/W
• Wind (onshore): ~1.46–5.9 USD/W
• Hydro: ~3.0–5.9 USD/W
• Coal: ~3.1–5.5 USD/W
• Natural Gas (combined cycle): ~1.06–1.2 USD/W
• Oil/peakers (simple turbines): ~0.8–2.6 USD/W
• Nuclear: ~6.7–8.0 USD/W

Even with batteries solar has the greatest fricken ROI in this list at the cheapest cost.

Fossil fuels are finite. After you pay back your solar panel capex your opex is barely anything and for the next 20-30 you have free fucking energy.

Jeebus, even if you don't give a shit about the environment picking anything but renewables is like the dumbest decision you can use your money on.

Lol, you accuse Zelensky of being connected to Epstein but after providing exhausting links about Western involvement in Euromaiden (fine we helped, fuck Putin and his corrupt mafia regime, that is insanely well documented) you fail to provide a single link/email/document on Zelensky being linked to Epstein despite millions of Epstein files on the net.

Secondly you've not provided any proof that Zelensky is a "gangster" (a well known celebrity comedian, who some how forced Russia to invade Ukraine 4 years in 2014, before he even became president..... Where do you dumb fucks get this shit from?)

Thirdly Russia had to invade and hold phony referendums in order to somehow prove eastern Ukraine didn't want to become part of Europe.

Keep on making shit up you dumb ass.

I don't understand whats so hard with understanding communism.

You all work for a similar wage. There is universal health and education.

All the other stuff are just truisms that you find it every dogma, all used to justify their system and the controls to maintain it.

In the 100 plus years since its development every communist state has faced crazy amounts of external aggression and hate.

This has forced them to double down on the industrial military complex, which, because their a communist state, allowed to dedicate even more resources to the endeavour of war then even a capitalistic state could.

However being hopelessly out numbered by hostile countries the paranoia and hate overwhelmed there initial desire to make a utopia.

Which, when combined with the knocking off, one by one, of their allies, and the Iraq war (which lead to oil revenues collapsing when oil hit $20 a barrel) the USSR, rightly so, collapsed.

But this doesn't make communism instrically wrong or bad. Just it was a idea that faced crazy amounts of hostility.

And I am by no means a communist. A socialist with borderline anarchist tendencies.

What was the lie about Ukraine?

Russia didn't invade Ukraine?

Rich people are poor people but with money

Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I'd argue your wrong.

Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I've been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.

Even 200k is in the corporate space fairly beign.

One company I worked was paying out that sort of money for basic worker bees who had hit the 80 week max redundancy pay out point (20 years tenure).

Every restructure meeting was the strangest thing I've ever been to where people were just so depressed and upset at not being made redundant.

So yeah $200k wasn't unusual (when all your other benefits were paid out, including sick leave that fricken accrued in perpetuity)

I imagine these health care workers and managers had a good union.

This was my school. We had a large group playing chess at lunch (partly because the library was the only air-conditioned building in the school that students could access).

Stoned chess was quite fun though....

I mean film is a family hobby. My dad spent forever building his dream sound system,

Sounds like my mother. She was a film maker, worked on a lot of big films.

So upset she decided to get rid of 60 years of speakers and gear to the local hifi shop instead of her son (and we were by no means estranged or with some weird broken relationship ie I'm leaching off of her).

Just discovered it was all gone when I spent 3 months watching her die (too late for recriminations when the cancer has adled their brain).

and I built my "fuck yeah it works" system out of his discards (I have to recognize hardly anyone falls into great sound systems the way I did but by crab god, I'm a musician if I'm going to treat anything it's my ears). I got a decent working 5.1 system of 25 years old cones and tweeters,

Yup. Took her speaker shopping and had to watch her grimace cause all I could afford was some shitty Yamaha kit. Thanks Ma. You could have given your son something out of your vast dragons hoard. Maybe the Tanoy studio monitors that you had sitting in the spare room???

just spent some money a few years back to buy a severely outdated receiver because the one I had (have technically. still gotta clean it up and take down to the relic shoppe) was made before hdmi and was having difficulty communicating with modern devices over optical audio.

Got her outdated circa 2000, albeit, $3k Yamaha receiver because she had it as her editing den system (and she passed before she could break the room down).

We had goddam electrostatic speakers, 1 metre wide for godsake. I thought I'd be passing them down to my son and so on. But noooo she had to sell them along with the valve amps and solid state amps she built.

Sigh.

Goddam parents.

Elise Cutts reports that its "just 146 light-years away." Just!

Approx 1.38 quadrillion kilometres

Like one light year is approx 9 trillion kilometres and yet we're still able to take a fricken observation of a planet 146x that incredible distance.

The call was coming from inside the house on that one. Fucking liberals sold us out

Or they fabricate cheap wireless (or wired ie optic fibre) eyes that they scatter across the Battlefield.

You could then use these systems to provide direct and indirect fire coordinates.

Updated versions of what the US scattered across Vietnam during Operation Igloo White

Shit you could probably just do seismic sensors now without any optical or microphone system and it would provide a heap of data.
