I wouldn’t hire anybody with a terrible futon, good call cropping it out.

Probably testing spam response rates and mechanisms. There’s some security concerns here.

Send mass PMs with a single blurry picture, look disinterested, and don’t bother with any sort of personalization.

Having a personality is a turn-off for men, I’ve heard.

yeah still sounds like a better alternative. Really loaded headline.

quieter, and uses way less power.

VERY IMPORTANT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SENTENCE OP

100%

I trust a person I’m having a coherent conversation with more than search results. Presumably, when you are speaking about these things you have first hand knowledge of reputable people and organisations.

I agree that saddling random people with the responsibility of educating people is not good, but I don’t see what can be done while we have this I guess… Credibility crisis? Or something?

That’s fair.

For the astroturfing thing, profiles and engagement is faked on social media right now. I’m trying to find the news source, there was some think tank a while back that had a completely made up persona as CEO or something.

“just Google it” in this case is a bit rough, an able bodied person is not going to recognise actual advocacy sources vs industry publications

Astroturfing and SEO are making search engines useless also.

This was pretty great set design/construction I gotta say

I chortled please no

Theoretically we could find a way to reverse things before we’re all dead.

PV should only cost around ~€60, correct?

So yes, but the whole system requires labor and different accessories to set up. I’d assume 200$ each for mounting parts and labour and interconnect parts and labour. Do they charge separately for the switch to the grid and other things, or does that 850 per panel include the rest of the stuff?

It seems high, I would expect 4-6x the cost of an individual feature for turnkey projects, but then again I’m not in PV construction, I’m in security systems, and I’m in Canada not Europe.

Yeah totally, it’s just wrong to say it’s not the majority of them.

My home stuff is like this

Nice, good job

But really meaningful differences are penalized instead of subsidised.

We need the conversation to go toward rewarding individuals who make sacrifices like this.

You don’t like long boat trips in the Pacific?

Edit so there’s a tradition of physical proximity for certain things, which don’t make much sense with modern communication.

There’s other things like research, physical work etc. we can make space for people to travel and make long term commitments to locale changes.

This is a really good example of why individuals can’t make a difference, systemic changes are needed.

No, it’s advertising.

I don’t want it for me. It doesn’t have it.

You want it for you, you have other options.
