"surely you don't actually think you've learned NOTHING from playing Fallout? Nothing about yourself?" Well, I did write out a couple of paragraphs about what I thought I learned. …

Nothing can invalidate whatever path you found to music. I'm sorry you had folks rolling their eyes at you when you got your instrument. That's an exceedingly common thing to happe…

Maybe not, but folks keep telling me that I'm ignorant for not agreeing that being able to "engineer" a prompt is the same exact thing as being a poet or painter.

As a person who plays several instruments (including drums) in professional situations, and as a person who enjoyed Guitar Hero, I always find it strange when folks are able to tak…

So, today was my second day piloting drones ever. I am absolutely not sure what I would need any bit of AI for... it is quite enjoyable to zip around the trees here. I did the same…

Internally as well, given what happens to any push back against law enforcement where I live- in the US, at least, if you try to defend yourself against state violence you'll be su…

Ah, that explains why all the Q-pilled folks I know (in?)correctly believe the US government to be communist...

Why? Because it's not a very accurate stereotype. I do first aid at music festivals and volunteer at a free clinic that serves a homeless population. I see a lot of spun folks and …

Yeah, as soon as my kiddo finished college I literally moved into my pickup truck and started playing music and doing stage hand stuff. I'd literally rather live in the back of a p…

Seriously.

People write stuff like this and get all pissy when I say yes, and that we have been doing this work for a long time. Then get all righteous and start talking about democracy and t…

I live next to a reservation and feel that there is a lot in common between the US indian reservation system and concentration camps. My position is that the US has been on this ro…

Yeah, but my shoes get worn out, and I can't share them- the media stuff has always already been mass produced and there has been way more useful stuff to look at so the industrial…

As a writer and cognition-enjoyer, much of the reading I do has been done by people who were using that writing as an adjunct to their own thoughts. Producing a bunch of filler con…

Yeah, it is a bit dumb to talk about "cleaning" forests. Or at least I've never heard anyone who spouted that line who I thought had any understanding of the situation. Mostly they…

For a lot of us who have spent a lot of time writing, the process of formulating our thoughts in a way that's legible to other folks has also forced us to think about the material …

I mean, fortunately for me it's dry enough that I can run a small swamp cooler for the couple of weeks a year where those are the temps in my place. But yeah, you're correct that t…

True, I have learned a lot and that has been very interesting and quite fun. I'm at 6500' but am still planning on setting up an outside shower just because it's pretty here. I am …

I can see how small efficiencies would matter a lot in that sitation. When I had 6 100W panels and was trying to keep my laptop (and lights) running off that, then I did a lot more…

If they are like me, keeping the fridge from freezing during the winter is more energy that keeping the fridge cooling during winter...

Ah, that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, the one tree branch that hits my array until 10a prevents it from charging at all even though it only obscures 1/4 of one panel in the 10-panel set. But I like the branch and…

Horses for courses. My system is off grid, so any extra power is just not used, and its designed in a way that a 2-5% change doesn't do anything. That might be a more meaningful ch…

I am curious how much of a difference it makes. I have 4kw of panels and 15kwh of storage. I only get down to about 80% most nights (I heat with wood and propane). But my system wi…

"Taking us back to the previous system, and putting in the hard and mundane work of keeping it working is the much better solution if people want redress, not continuous 'we just n…
