Yeah, wish they would bring it to full seamless VR rather than downgrade to tinyScreenOS.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 week ago:
And this also explains why they’ve “grown” her into a plastic, lip-plumped, reality-TV-star banshee. The character model looks awful.

Continuing the slow death of the HBO brand by tainting and conflating it with discovery garbage

Zebra M-402, which I’ve used exclusively for at least 20 years. (The same one.)
Followed closely by the Ticonderoga.

- Comment on Why do some laws exist if everyone is expected to just break them? 3 months ago:
True, but traffic not following “the algorithm” is more dangerous than moderate speeding.

Guess what, all three extra lanes are still passing lanes. This misunderstanding is the biggest cause of traffic.

His Seagal stuff is pretty funny, but the rampant misogyny he mixes in is incredibly outputting.
- Comment on As an English language pedant, I find this text message mildly infuriating. 3 months ago:
It’s totally appropriate. They’re conflating their spam with a stream of shit that’s backed up, which is entirely accurate.

40+ years ago the Republicans started a war against education and intellectualism. They won.
- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 4 months ago:
No, they are covered in anti-reflective coatings to minimize reflection. Most of the excess is converted to heat (as would happen if the light just hit the ground).

Privately owned publicly enforced monopolies are rife with conflicts of interest. PG&E should be taken over by the state yesterday.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 4 months ago:
I would posit that the internet and abundant screen entertainment contributed to killing third places far more than cars. The US has had a car culture for a very long time. (I’m not saying that makes it a good thing.)

- Comment on The Right Has a Bluesky Problem 5 months ago:
Unfortunately it’s true, whether you like it or not. The amount of times one random radical asshat saying something outrageous turns into a major outlet “people-are-saying” news article is infuriating.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 6 months ago:
Ok let’s compare real data then. Vogtle 3&4 are the latest nuclear plants to be completed in the US. They cost over 30 billion dollars for a capacity of 2.106GW. That’s >14.2 dollars/watt. Let’s be generous and assume nuclear has a 100% capacity factor (it doesn’t).
I can’t find real numbers for Moss Landing specifically, but NREL has data on BESS costs up to 10 hr storage at $4.2/watt. Let’s ignore that no grid in the country actually needs 10hr storage yet.
Utility scale solar has well known costs of ~1 dollar/watt. Let’s assume a capacity factor of 25%, so for equivalent total energy generation we are looking at $4.
$4 for solar, $4.2 for BESS, and since you’ll complain about not having 24hr baseline let’s add another equivalent 10hr storage system at $4.2. that’s a total of $12.4, compared to Vogtle’s $14.2.
Add in that the solar plus BESS would be built in 1-2 years, while Vogtle took well over a decade.
Also consider that BESS systems have additional value in providing peaking ability and frequency regulation, among other benefits.
Also consider that PV and batteries have always gotten cheaper over time, while nuclear has always gotten more expensive.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 6 months ago:
Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.
