Not trying to be a "nuclear shill", but it is worth mentioning from the article you linked:

The 1.8 million solar panels are expected to generate up to 690 MW and they’re co-located with 380 MW of 4-hour battery energy storage (1,400 MWh).

The capacity factor of solar is something around 25%, so that 690 MW solar array (even with batteries) produces about as much energy as ~160 MW nuclear... So 7x faster, but the costs are closer than you suggest. Solar is still cheaper because the O&M costs are minimal, but pretending 690 MW solar + 380 MW battery is equivalent to 1 GW nuclear is a bit disingenuous.

"Septic safe" is a pretty loose definition, and usually means "this will not break anything" not "this will naturally break down into something that is not harmful to the ecosystem outside of your septic tank", but it's usually a good start

Most powdered detergents contain high amounts of salts which aren't particularly good for anything downstream of your dishwasher.

I'm unsure of a salt-free dish detergent, but I can gleefully recommend Oasis Biocompatible Laundry Detergent for everyone, but especially anyone with a septic or greywater laundry system. It cleans great and breaks down naturally into plant food.

Jokes on them, my phones stupid fingerprint reader only works about 3% of the time. They'll get frustrated and give up before finding anything, I know I usually do.

What do you mean this is purposely not clear? Is interpolation so hard for folks?

If you make $200k, you're probably going to land somewhere between the $130k and $330k income levels, meaning your tax savings under Trump's proposed plan will be between $4k and $9k, likely roughly $6.5k. For Harris' proposed plan you'll be between $3k and $2k, likely close to $2.5k.

Yes, the amounts aren't linear, so it's hard to say exactly where you will land, but also these are proposed plans, so they're estimates to begin with. I wouldn't be adjusting my personal budgeting off of a wish list from two people who do not control tax laws.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand from the chart that for most Americans (see, median household income $81k), Harris's tax proposal will net more savings on their annual income, while Trump's plan favors people in higher income brackets.

Trump's plan will increase the national deficit because everyone pays less in taxes. Harris' plan tries to be closer to revenue neutral by putting more of the tax burden on the top 1%.

Who you vote for is your decision, but the fact that we have a populous that can't understand fairly straightforward tables to help inform decision-making is part of the reason why we are so fucked.

New OS is a waste of resources, but it would be great to see them embrace something like GrapheneOS

I clear them a reasonable amount away from my house, because they may not be litter but they are a fire hazard where I live. But they still get to naturally decompose in dedicated spots.

Mmm, I see, I see, so you're voting for the only other person who could possibly win this election, Kamala Harris, right?

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Ahh yes, of course, of course, so Trump to the rescue then right?

Oh okay, then you're voting for Harris, right?

I get the joke, but also I was shocked to see in the article:

Thunderbird for Android runs on mobile devices running Android 5 and above.

Who out there is still running Lollipop?! That came out over a decade ago. You can't even get Thunderbird through the Play Store because Google Play Services dropped support for 5.1 back in July. I have so many questions.

Trump’s ~~Environmental~~ Claims Ignore Decades of ~~Climate~~ Science

The other bits are simply repetitive.

 

Interesting application of machine learning to actually reduce computational intensity for once...

 
  1. Deliver strong and equitable National Biodiversity Plans [at COP16]

  2. Mainstream nature in policies on food and water

  3. Provide more finance and incentives to support nature and biodiversity goals

  4. Recognize the land rights and the authority of Indigenous Peoples and other frontline communities

  5. Effectively measure and track progress toward global targets
