I’m just talking about winter vs summer capacity in desert solar installations.

Yup

I’m not saying it’s not lower. I’m saying it’s not nearly as big of a deal as people say it is.

The opportunity cost.

California’s energy regulator is fully captured by the private companies that “operate” the actual grid companies. Every time someone brings up prices the regulatory board agrees to raise them and let the owners walk away with the extra profit.

Oh no they did that research. The manufacturers complained because the US was the last great dumping ground for old inefficient engines. They put those highly efficient engines in European cars and used the US to empty their warehouses of old engines.

CA has a for-profit energy sector so that’s not surprising. They aren’t lowering bills there for anything short of the apocalypse.

That’s funny, but modern solar panel power plants don’t care that it’s winter. The panels rotate and an arid area isn’t getting that much more cloud cover.

Ooh so I can pretend they don’t exist. I like that.

I am several decades old and I still have to remind myself I’m allowed to go have fun by myself.

I want to go to the comfy movies but all the seating is loveseat couches. I might have to share that with a stranger. So anyways I heard WoW is good again?

Doki Doki should be 90% blind. Players need to understand they’re going into a horror game.

But I’ll also add one, Detroit: Become Human. While it’s based on replaying it a massive number of times, going in blind makes the story a lot better.

Can’t have you getting those cosmetics without paying for them!

Funny, conservatives would absolutely include telling parents how to raise their kids in the definition of a Nanny State.

So you do want a nanny state.

But what about those Parental Responsibilities you were talking about earlier? Are you saying we now need extra social safety nets for kids who don’t fit the mold and get bullied? Extra places for them to learn and play under supervision? Because I don’t think that’s going to be economical without boarding them there, away from their parents.

What? No! They can have their own age appropriate place to learn and play under supervision.

You’ve accounted only for the API pricing. They already charge 7-20 USD per month. So their prices are going to jump to 19.50-32.50 USD a month.

That’s not feasible.

A social safety net you say… like a place we could gather all the children to teach them things and let them play under supervision?

That would require us paying one parent enough to cover the other parent being a child care expert. But nobody gets to profit off of that so fuck society, everybody works, and nobody gets community goods except the wealthy.
