That's the dumbest take I have ever heard. I said in multiple comments in this thread that it could be very different in years. Not even decades. But you implied it can do damage now. That's stupid because it demonstrably cannot.

You like to repeat yourself, seems like a defense mechanisms when lacking anything meaningful to say.

It's funny you think people with solar can opt out of taxes or circumvent paying their fair share when it comes to energy infrastructure. On the contrary, you can rest assured local utilities are doing everything they can to disincentivise the use of solar, by reducing purchase rates and tacking on all kinds of extra fees. Try spending more time educating yourself on topics you want to debate, otherwise you run the risk of boring those you're trying to impress.

It really depends on what it is and what you're doing with it. If you race a dirt bike in motocross for any number of years anything past 5 years of racing on it will be far past the point of being worth it to repair.

Naturally, if you're a trail rider and don't abuse it than these things can't last 30-40 years with light repairs.

Also generally speaking have you rode a 20 year old ATV or watercraft compared to the recent ones? It's a totally different experience on the body alone lol

Opps sorry thought the wrong thing lol ok well guess uts just not there yet hu

Not if you've consistently voted for the policies (politicians) that have created the problems with the texas power grid. problems that have been known for decades and can be easily fixed, but gasp corporations might make a few less dollars. Regulations that every powerplant and grid operator in every other state in the US have to follow.

While I am happy you're getting solar, that is a positive step, if you have a battery backup as part of your solar array you are escaping the consequences of your actions if you have consistently supported the politicians that created the problems with the texas grid.

that's what they're criticizing you for.

That’s specifically why I said you can follow the trail if you want, there are several articles you can find about billionaires and how they use charities.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/14/climate/patagonia-climate-philanthropy-chouinard.html

This is an example of a billionaire who honestly has done something as close to good as a billionaire can, but the truth is in the way he donated his business, he still has ultimate control over it because he controls the charity, so if it is used for good (as he has used it for good in the past, there’s no reason to question him in my opinion) is up to him, but the reality is if he wanted then he can just do what he wants.

You’ll see this also in how billionaires setup trusts and nonprofits for their children to control which contain within them all their finances and businesses. It’s just piecing together the 1000 loopholes in the system.

I can’t send you one article because there is no one article that says all this that I know of, but just google how billionaires used charity’s and you’ll find many reputable sources who speak about this.

Taking out loans for example is just how billionaires operate, purchasing a yacht by using stock as collateral and then using the yacht as an asset for future loans in which gives them access to an eternal loan of almost no interest. When they give stock to a charity, the charity can act in the same way, because of loopholes within the system

Edit: if you don’t think this is possible, and you’re just trying to argue with me because you disagree then please feel free to not respond any further, but if you’re genuinely interested and willing to take some time to look into shit also then I could find more things later on after work, but I don’t want to waste my time on someone who is just going to say “naw” no matter what.

I don't get ur comment tho. If what I have isn't old but just breaks, I should suck it up and buy the latest and greatest instead of fixing it?

They first walked on the moon in July 16 1969 . . . I watched it live . . . Short term does feel long term ! ! !

If that's true, I'll bet Tim Cook will just show up and say "Hi, nice hissy fit you morons are throwing here. None of this affects me, but good to see you. BYE!"

Nope just saying that for most people that use those things anything past 10 years is basically only used if you can't afford new shit.

It could be that mining/extraction creates a dust cloud . . . And that cloud is in some way dangerous to the habitat or launch equipment.

Ask GM how unions are working out. Some good, some not so good.

I plan on using it to write my Continuous Improvement Process paper for work. I dont care if it makes sense or not or how factual it is as long as Im not the one having to make up the bullshit.

Unfortunately, the manual labeling team is slowly shrinking anyway in favor of auto labeling. This will give them less leverage as Tesla needs them less and less.

Exactly. This is absolutely the truth of the situation for ChatGPT, which is undoubtedly a lifeless machine that we real humans know for certain is not at all alive nor "thinking" the way we ourselves do.

Using my natural cognitive methods, I am pretty sure it commonly follows next that your statement is also absolutely the truth for real fleshy hoomans who breath colorless atmospheric gas at room temperature like you and me, my fellow meaty hooman friend person.

Do you agree that breathing is so satisfying at the appropriate temperature for respiration, which I prefer to be room temperate or a comfortable ambient temperature, generally taken as about 70°F?

Fahrenheit is named after Richard Francis Fahrenheit, an Italian scientist born in the British Commonwealth in 1686. He was the first person, and I am also a real hooman person, to create a reliable way to consistently tell the temperature.

I'm glad that you wouldn't consider this an argument after I just refused to argue and simply mocked your delusional, self-aggrandising perspective.

Why pay tax to improve state energy security when you can just improve your own and convince yourself that others should be grateful for your contribution to yourself? 👍

I can hear the wooshing sound from here.

You said -

> If they want to operate in the US, they have to obey US laws.

If they are not allowed in the US then a VPN that is based in Europe will allow you to view them.

Who has alleged this? Seems like a very convenient story given just how many blatant retaliations to unions there have been in the last few years from multiple companies.

Are u advocating against the right to repair because people want the latest stuff?

Abbott introduces bill banning new solar installation in 3, 2…

Well sort of but if you feel safe about AI would encourage you to seek more information. ASI will likely be our last invention if we get it wrong.

ChatGPT is simply a predictive algorithm.

It can't discern between truth or falsity. It can only search out the most common next word for the context asked.
