40% of the world’s population lives in coastal area. Tsunamis are devastating as well so I’m not certain that a giant asteroid falling in the water would be less deadly.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.

Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)

The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …

For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.

Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.

Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.

With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

How ? Is it just AC ?

We oscillate between 300 and 800kwh per month and it’s with an old water heater, an electric car charged at home, a dryer and electric oven.

I’ve looked it up and the Katy Freeway on the picture has an average of 219 000 vehiclra using it per day. Let’s be very generous and assume an average of 1.5 person in each car, so around 329 000 people are moved each day thanks to this highway.

A single metro line or two tramway line moves more people per day than that.

Replace the gun with a car.

How much of the “outside” can a kid access today without taking the risk of being it by a car ? As soon as he crosses the door of the house he risks his life.

I don’t understand how we accepted that as normal.

Now compare that with a carless world, kids could go everywhere.

Abduction or aggression are still a risk but almost insignificant compared to the risk of being hit by a car, yet this is the one we are talking about.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.

This is what Prusa is planning to use on the Prusa Core One.

The picture released by Prusa shows 7 Indx head on a Prusa core one and has been relayed by Bontech.

How old was your kid at the time ? You are giving us hope, we need to know!

Chopping spicy peppers without gloves and without taking off my contact first.

As you can imagine taking off contacts with spicy hands is hell!

Unless you have a debit card from a third world country bank and half of the time for online payment the authorization fail.

I’ve been in this situation several times and then though I don’t like it Paypal has often been the only payment option available to me.

It’s really that valuable, the bulk prices I’ve found on Alibaba are around $25-$30 per KILOMETER!

I agree, I can’t stand Tom Cruise as a person but collateral is one of my top movie.

Millennials, they ruined the home owning and marriage market as soon as they were born.

Damn millennials!

Beer pipeline are a thing. At the Hellfest festival all the bars are connected to a beer pipeline fed by tankers trucks of beer.

I got a Prusa Mk4, I bought an enclosure for it and upgraded it to the mk4s but I have not find any other tinkering from that.

I’m usually starting prints remotely from work, on Linux and collect it on the evening. It just print.

After 6 months I already had around 1500 hours of printing on it.

I’m using Prusa Slicer as well.

I think French Polynesia is in G, not the worst option.

The sheep is in the box

I love ban chili, it’s relatively cheap, vegetarian and incredibly versatile. Meaning that with one big pot of chili you can have 3-4 different meals without having the feeling of eating the same thing over and over.

I usually make a big pot and then the first day we can make burritos with tortilla shells, the next day nachos, you can eat it with rice, a baked potato use it as a base for soup or make vegetarian burger patties with it.
