Idiocracy is about what happens after the current time when smarter more level headed people are trying to put the pieces back together. We are in the prequel era, things are going to get worse before they get better.

Though this does vary by locale, in most places legally it’s only permanent if you have to leave it there when you move.


For a permanent installation, yes, just like a large solar installation. But I can go down to Lowe’s and get a gas generator capable of similar output as the balcony solar and it won’t require any permits.


No it isn’t. The same thing happens with the kind of gas generators you can get from your local hardware store all the time.


Obviously. I was just pointing out that it isn’t an issue unique to solar.


The same thing that currently happens when somebody does that with a gas generator? Linepersons get zapped… people get sued… etc…
There isn’t any data transmission over the wires…
That’s very wrong. Not only can you extend Ethernet in your own home using your power outlets, the power companies have been reading meters this way for decades.


As a penis haver who has been falsely accused of sexual assault, it’s far more common than you think.


This user is well known as a lighthearted troll, but I have heard others say this unironically IRL.


Why is the text all blurry?

Have you thought about adding the erasable pen libraries?


This feature debuted on the Moto Atrix in 2011. There was even a version of Ubuntu that could use the feature.


IDK, when I was finishing my CS degree there were some people in my class that didn’t know the difference between Mac and Windows. The ‘weldingification’ of development means that for over a decade now people who write or research code may not know anything about computers.


My wife and I went out recently and a nearby table had no less than three children each with their own tablets all on full volume while the 5 or so adults completely ignored this.


From what I have seen Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. seem to be running bots that are going around and submitting updates to open source repos with little to no human input.


Handwriting is better for retention if you are good at writing notes. Not everybody can write fast and legibly and still listen to and comprehend the lecture.
I’m not sure I totally believe that but even still, this was a time when strong beers and fortified wines were basically more common than good drinking water…


That’s weird. Most of the cars I have had can open and close the windows from the fob. (Usually double press then hold unlock or lock, though one car I had [Accord] required the key in the door for the windows to go up.)


They used to conduct them close enough to Vegas that you could see them:



I believe they have the option of just convening another grand jury.


As an aside, Scripps is barely better than Sinclair.
You can do that as part of an OAuth workflow. You don’t need to have them on separate pages for that to happen.
