And, for me, it recontextualizes a lot of his writing knowing his racism. Who he thought "the other" was and how they appeared in his work is colored by who he thought the other wa…

If I can find more media than I could ever possibly consume that a) I'll love to death, b) has a fan community who loves it with me, and c) is written by authors I don't viscerally…

It should just be randomly generated when the page loads. "Oh, this user has the 'dormant' flag set? Generate a uid on page load" so all their comments have consistency for that on…

This feels like bloviating. You are unlikely to be subject to this law, and even if you were your lawyers probably wouldn't advise you to ignore laws in states where you operate. (…

You'd hate practicing law.

Did he really say that? What an absurd thing to believe, let alone say out loud.

If you don't know at least a few chemsex enthusiasts, you might be leading a pretty sheltered life. While I'm not into chemsex, it's not exactly uncommon either. Plenty of folks ou…

Why not when grid connected? The problem arises when you are grid connected. You draw 31 amps from the grid, you draw 6-7 per battery or solar installation behind the circuit break…

Right. The problem is the kitchen outlets or some other heavily loaded circuit. Running the microwave and kettle and fridge. And powering via these plus the wall. Or putting three …

What happens when a consumer buys three and sticks them on the same 20 amp circuit? Cause people will definitely do that. Going to be some warm walls.

It's not the batteries that are the concern. It's skipping the fuse box.

The problem isn't the battery catching fire, it's that you no longer have a circuit breaker between your appliances and the generator. Meaning you could, especially if you have sev…

Australia emits 1-1.5% of greenhouse gases. Tripling that would absolutely impact global concentrations, especially over human time scales. But agree, Australia exporting fossil fu…

One click. One click is much much easier than screenshot, save file, open different website, upload file, etc. I recognize you aren't wrong, the existing barrier isn't high. But th…

This is predictable... they built a misinformation engine capable of generating things like falsified drone strikes, terrorist attacks, industrial accidents, and threatening images…

Wait, do developers control when those nags appear or does Apple? I originally thought it was the devs, but then they all were so consistent in presentation I thought maybe Apple p…
