Just buy a printer in a cash transaction from some dude on Craigslist or something. They definitely can trace newly sold ones quite easily, but it's so easy to find a random printer either from some dude, from goodwill, finding it in a free pile on the side of the road, etc.
Maybe I just have good luck coming across printers, but I've got maybe 5 printers over the years just given to me because someone doesn't want them.
Lol this one got me for a second
This 100% is the way. Crypto is really new. I bet the first revisions of our current centralized system weren't able to handle tens of millions of daily transactions either. Once crypto advances, it'll definitely be a good replacement. Until then, it just needs more people to look into it, so as it gains popularity, people start developing newer and better crypto-based solutions. Eventually crypto will be ready to take over.
I imagine it probably would burn all the o2 overnight assuming the garage is airtight. What's the average cfm flow rate of an engine? Online from estimates I'm seeing roughly 50cfm on idle. I think the average garage is roughly 20x24ft which would be almost 4000 cubic feet. Doing the math the engine would go through all the available air in under an hour and a half. Likely it would be a bit longer than that due to inefficiencies in the burn, room for error on the air flow rate, non-airtight garage, etc, but I'd be really surprised if it lasted all night.
Place I go to take walks has about half and half wearing masks and not wearing them (Me of course not wearing one). So far people have been surprisingly decent about it. People who want to wear one proceed to wear one, and don't feel the need to hound others. And this is is in the portland/beaverton/hillsboro/tigard area, not like out in the country or anything. I was honestly surprised.
I just went ahead and found that order, and holy shit I can't believe that this is a thing.
Of course there's always more to the story. I had just assumed this was a supply issue like everyone else.
Hold on, where can I read more on this. So are you saying that in Texas there was additional plants that could have been brought online to cope with the demand, but the only reason they didn't is because they would "pollute too much"?
You are certainly correct there. Plus that also removes the need for unit conversion in the power API as our electricity supplier is cool and deals in liters rather than gallons anyway.
But alas, my boss prefers to use gallons.
I'm in oregon. It's not like super common, but you do see camper vans around here.
I just bought an old cargo van and did a basic conversion since I have woodworking and electronics experience. Installed Solar panels and a salvaged tesla battery module to store the power. I setup an inverter for charging devices, providing lights, and getting 110v mobile power (I work in IT so it can be useful to have power wherever I go). Then a woodstove for heating and cooking small things, a couch that turns into a bed, and so on.
Originally built it partly since I wanted to travel, but then this whole virus shit happened which complicated matters, and in general the world's gone to shit. Now it's kind of a bugout vehicle in a way. I have food/water/supplies in there, and if shit were to go down I could leave the city for an extended period of time and have everything needed to survive.
No expert on this, but to me it feels like the summers are getting hotter on average (more heat waves), and the winters are getting colder (more and worse snowstorms). Overall there's more large storms every year. So overall it feels the effect is there, but are we the cause? I highly doubt it.
If I remember right if you look at the Vostok ice core data something similar has happened multiple times in the last 400k years in terms of temperature rise, co2 amount, etc. If this has happened before us using all these fuels, how can us using these fuels be the sole cause? It seems to occur at a predictable rate over thousands of years, perhaps it's related to the sun?
Oh god I hope electricity never hits $20/gallon. That would be horrible. I work IT and my server infrastructure uses gallons of electricity daily.
Not entirely sure that's correct, but I guess I can't disprove it either.
Source: 575w of solar on the roof of my van is barely producing 5w with several inches of snow and ice piled on top, however it's also cloudy and raining.
This 100%
I'm not sure about the feasibility of very very large multi-megawatt solar farms with extremely large batteries, but for the average person on their own home solar is amazing. If you do the install yourself and search for surplus/used components it's possible to get 15-25kw/h per day power incoming via solar, and a 15-20kw/h battery bank for under $10k (with associated charge controllers, inverters, etc).
For a smallish-medium house with no electric heat that's about enough power to get by day to day without any grid usage for the most part.
Yeah, youtube-dl is awesome. It can download playlists straight to .mp3 if you use the right command.
Also it's great for getting a local copy of those videos that you just know will be censored soon on that shitty site.
So we aren't supposed to call the police if someone steals our car battery, because some racist online thinks that only a black person could have stolen it, and that calling the police on said supposed black thief could cause him unneeded harm?
Been using them for over a year, they're great!
I'm not sure this math is correct. I was looking online and found the following (assuming a 2MW turbine running at 25% efficiency).
2 MW × 365 days × 24 hours × 25% = 4,380 MWh = 4,380,000 kWh
This would be for 1 year, so assuming 30 year lifespan that would be a total estimate of 131,400MWh.
If you take that number and multiply by the amount of co2 per kwh of natural gas, it would be 26.28M kg of co2. (If I did my math right)
The co2 released by the concrete alone wouldn't come close to the co2 emissions from natural gas for a comparable lifetime power output, but as there's a lot more co2 released in other aspects of wind turbine production (rebar, material transport, mining, manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, cables, etc) it's hard to say how efficient they really are. This would be something cool to look into.
I'm not sure #wallstreetbets has any spare cash at the moment, pretty sure 99% of it is in GME fucking over some large hedgefunds
I'm pretty sure I also see "fuck biden" graffitied on a window there!
Lost power for a bit over 3 hours in Oregon. There was a pretty big storm last night.

Rules and regulations are just going to be broken. Adding more rules will not fix anything. However, if you instead raised kids such that they wouldn't even have the desire to do something, you wouldn't even need a rule preventing it.
I think this should apply to more than just porn as well, like drugs for example. If kids were raised with proper values and knowledge about them, they likely would make much better choices when it comes to substances. None of this "weed is as bad as heroin" crap that just leads to someone trying weed and thinking hmm this isn't bad, and then later trying heroin thinking they were lied to about that as well. Instead teach fact based information with pros and cons of each substance, proper safety, etc.
Knowledge of actions and their consequences, along with the proper view of right and wrong would do so much more than flat out rules stating you can or can't do this or that.
I'm not positive that giving copies of everyone's photo IDs to a bunch of websites that likely have no idea when it comes to proper security practices is a good idea.
I can already imagine the headlines now. "Such and such porn sites got hacked! Millions of users Driver's Licenses leaked, including histories of videos watched!"
There's just a ton of shills against it
Is signal still secure? I have a hard time trusting any app promoted by big tech as being "secure".
Not necessarily an expert here, but wouldn't it be extremely easy to sort steel vs brass casings using a large magnet?
