So you don’t remember being a teenager?

Is this an April fools joke? I’ve never even heard of Shenmue.

Texas being shitheels aside, I don’t understand all the hate in these comments for catcher in the rye. When I read it as a teenager I remember it resonating with me heavily. To me that’s a sign the author did a great job of putting himself in the mindset of their character.

I mean, the name is a bigger problem than anyone seems to want to admit…

“in 2003 in the United States, Wrigley’s replaced some of the sugar with aspartame and Ace K, both artificial sweeteners.”

Now all gum is shit.

What if you’re on fire?

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.

I also prefer to move the camera, which a mouse is more intuitive for. A 3d mouse is like holding/rotating the object. A middle mouse button is so freaking simple and fast I just don’t understand the problem. Moving the view around is like 2% of my workflow.

And scroll up has to be zoom in. The fact that many defaults are the opposite is literally insane.

Because solidworks is the gold standard in the space and is intuitive for millennials that grew up on computers. It mirrors other software that came before in terms of super basic stuff like how to draw a damn line. If you’re going to do a big swing and change the paradigm with a fundamentally better way, it better be really good for a really good reason.

All the others you listed are very similar to solidworks and no problem. FreeCAD decided sketching should be completely different. I can barely even draw a line and I don’t understand how that’s possible.

I’ve tried it for a few hours, but basic stuff seems incredibly needlessly difficult. After thousands of hours in Solidworks it’s just too painful.

And she has been doing a lot more of this click baity “science bad” shit because they get 10x the views of her actual science content.

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.

Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.

Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon

How can you guys get any work done around the house if you’re constantly swapping shoes?

Implying that Israel gives even the remotest shit about international law seems like misinformation.
