Not trying to be a dick here, but do you honestly think that you, a non-expert who likely doesn't even practice in ecology or environmental sciences, are the authority here on whether any studies have attempted to account for the water consumption based on the feed variety and sources?

Because if you thought of it as a way to shoot down a random internet comment, then the experts who work in the field have certainly done so and followed through with those calculations already. Have you ever met a professor? They fucking love to tear apart arguments because it gets their names into publications and that's how they earn tenure and notoriety for grant funding.

10kWh is enough to run one 110VAC outlet at full capacity for about 10 hours. I don't know where that 10kWh figure comes from but most American houses use between 15-30kWh per day.

So that 10 foot cube would need to be closer to 15ft cubed. It's huge. Perhaps the foundation of the structure would work, as someone else mentioned.

Yeah, many of those christmas lights use pulse width modulation to control brightness and it is very noticeable. I hope that gets changed over for an analog voltage dimmer soon.

Wait... is this the USA's first Gen III+ reactor?

Cab companies can afford to hire a dedicated mechanic to handle those kinds of problems. That makes even more sense when you consider they purchase mostly similar models over the years. An individual finding a transmission problem will take it to somewhere that is likely inexperienced with those problems and they get overcharged as a result.

Depending on your location, many municipalities are starting to cover the costs of installing EV charging stations at apartments. They usually ask you to pay a monthly fee for the service.

Yeah that's how I feel because I used uBlock to hide the icon

Making people feel hopeless is a great use of their efforts. They want power, and to get that power they have to disenfranchise people who don't disagree with them. So getting people to voluntarily ignore politics because it is (they are) ugly is a valid end result.

No, that isn't really true. He needs to be isolated like the mental plague that he is. He is memetic poison. "Let people decide" basically lets them get infected.

For real. I shopped around every single EV on the market from the Bolt EV to the Cadillac Lyric. Every dealer wanted to gouge me.

Then I finally gave in and test drove a model 3. It was a generation better than anything else I had driven and it was cheaper. Sold. The charger network also helped to push me over the edge.

I've had a suspicion for a few years about this phenomenon. I know that simply recording audio and transmitting it for processing to serve ads is a violation of the federal wiretapping laws. I know they know it too.

So do they get around it by doing the processing locally on the device? So the phone effectively has tens of thousands of wake words that are trained for different things. "I want a big truck" -> phone parses that out "big" "truck" and sends those words up to ~~google~~ in a keyword dump. So technically it isnt wiretapping. Right?

Plus, it avoids the security researchers who use wireshark to monitor those devices. They are looking for audio streams, not a keyword dump that is encrypted and can be sent asynchronously at a later date in a much smaller file size.

Yeah it's not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.
