This actually makes sense, it would be reasonable if they laid out that information when they send out proposals for using it, especially with more transparency.

Something like "Hey, we would like you to use this advancement in technology but currently the adoption rates are low, and due to that we are financially limited in our ability to update our infrastructure to support this new technology, so the rates are going to be slightly higher to offset that cost which will enable us to update the infrastructure at an accelerated rate so that we can provide electricity to you at a lower cost. Here is our current financial standing and this is what is required for us to be able to completely support the grid in your area. Once this project is complete then your rates will go down to x amount"

At the same time though, they could slightly increase the cost of fossil fuel usage to match the increase they are charging for renewables in order offset the cost of upgrading the infrastructure at an accelerated pace.

I'm quite pessimistic when it comes to things like this, because I believe even if the infrastructure was there the rates would still be as high as using fossil fuels simply due to capitalism. Charging less for electricity (or anything for that matter) due to cheaper production, maintenance, or other factors impacts the money that the rich are getting and it has been shown time and time again that the rich will not accept that.

That's a really good idea. I'm only here for a few more days but I should be able to get in contact with some of the local places for info.

Just from eyeing it, looks to be about 30mm and 5mm.

I brushed it off with a nylon brush since the other things that were found seem to indicate that it may be quite old. I do think the center is hollow but I'm trying to be cautious with it.

Some kind of metal, brass or something else. The whole bottom side seems to be of a similar material.

That top piece of chicken looks mildly phallic lol.

Onshape is one that I recently learned about.

I normally use SolidWorks but its annoying just because I need to switch over to my windows install any time I want to use it.

Onshape is similar to SolidWorks and is intuitive. Browser based and much more powerful than TinkerCAD. Also has a free license. The only stipulation is that anything you create there is considered open source.

The only caveat I see is updating the server/app regularly.

Updating is definitely recommended for sure but I find myself waiting between updates. I'm still running 1.134.0 and have been for a while just because I'm not having any issues and haven't gotten around to it.

I agree with everything else here as I have had the same experience.

Edit: This recent update I will likely update to though.

Jel-ly-fin, jel-ly-fin, je-ly-fin!

You are absolutely correct.

I didn't think about it at the time when I wrote my response but there have been situations with mine where he has done things that cross personal boundaries, at his age it's more of him just being young enough to have that boundary himself but not understand that other people also have them.

Those were very quickly remedied by either explanation using his personal boundaries as an example or if that didn't work then acting as if we were going to do something that crossed his boundaries so that he understands in those situations that no is an acceptable response full stop.

I could definitely see where not handling those immediately could turn into an absolute nightmare.

You can downgrade the installation and get it working again, however it's a bit cumbersome and time consuming to do so if you don't have a good internet connection.

The guide is called "How to reinstall WRC V1.8.1" on the steam community.

I have been running it this way for a while.

I've mentioned this before but I very much think this is an underhanded deal between MS and EA to try to limit the exposure of their users to Linux by intentionally breaking or not allowing it to work from the start. Especially with the Steam Deck gaining so much momentum and MS trying to release their own handheld device.

I'm not 100% on how deep the commands go in AMP (Application Management Panel) but you could potentially use it to schedule a task that would delete and create a Minecraft instance at certain intervals.

The standard license is 10$ (not a subscription) so it might be worth it to look into.
