The holidays are rough. It's the most stressful time of my year and everybody acts like it's supposed to be super happy. Anyway I hope you're having a good day buddy

Fuck off they're my friend.

Stamets, you've been kinda making a lot of self harm jokes and I just want you to know that a lot of people here, we really like you, and you make us smile and we'd be awful sad to lose you or see you hurt. So if you ever need someone to talk to send me or one of these kind souls a message because there's all kinds of friendships and you're my Funny Internet Friend™ and friends listen.

This picture was really funny to me until I learned chocolate is toxic to birds. Polly prolly ded

I think he meant it's wild we've been conditioned to not even think about government takeover of publicly funded assets. Like it still feels like the nuclear option even to Americans who believe they are socialists. Not that your comment was insufficient. I understand why you would feel defensive, the Internet can be a mean place.

I haven't played Halo since 3 first came out but man you can preach. Can't wait to get a deck and play this eventually

Ha! That could be it too, but I had meant more like a wrap around the pole.

Oh just fuck off. You're seriously chasing me around the comment section, butthurt because I'd rather talk to somebody less unpleasant. You're not changing my perspective if that's why you're doing it.

No, I wasn't enjoying one conversation in the room so I went to talk to somebody else. I'm not required to talk to them and I am free to explore a topic with someone else without citing previous discussions I've had. I deny nothing that guy said, though I also don't take it as face value when they also ignored my points in the thread, I'd just rather talk to this person about it if they'd care to.

That guy isn't being a dick. You've got a bad attitude and I don't like talking to you. Goodbye.

So you did say that. But you just told me you didn't. You're confusing. I also showed you a motor powered this way yet you say it isn't feasible. So I really feel like I'm done with this conversation. Good day.

Fair enough. That definitely is true for a car. I would wonder whether the power/surface area/weight/energy consumption all scale linearly or if a vehicle like a semi with more surface area could take advantage of increased number solar panels, or would the amount of work needed to move the larger truck scale equally to the power gained?

Thank you for your proving reasoning for your opinions and sources. You're groovy. Don't feel like you have to again for this random thought of mine unless it's enjoyable for you as part of our conversation.

"There are physical limits at play to how much power this can provide. No amount of technological improvement can break them."

Also, the fact it powers the motor for the camper AND all the appliances and such just proves the viability that much more, as the extra power draw is still supported by the camper's solar power system.

You first said is was physically impossible. I've shown you it wasn't and predicted you'd move the goal post from possibility to practicality. And you did. Thanks for proving that you don't really care about whether it could even possibly work, but just that you wanna dunk on excitement and be right on the Internet. Have a good day.

It also turns the motor bro, did you watch it?

Here's a video of a camper van with traditional solar panels on the roof using a slide-out awning technique.

You might say that's impractical for regular use. Sure, it is, but your previous argument was that is was impossible due to physics, which the video clearly shows isn't physically impossible, so we're already much closer to a reality. I'm not saying it could drive forever without stopping or be the only power source. That's silly. But if it reduces the need to charge from a grid by X% it can be a useful technology. Go on now and tell me how it could never ever work.

Where are you getting that two weeks number?

"We already have technology that doesn't do those things well enough, so this new technology that won't see advancement ever has no chance of addressing these issues either."

Trickle charge is awesome. Trickle charge the semi during your 8 hour driving shift and then another 8 hours while the trucker is asleep. If that nets half a charge every other day, that's a charge and a half a week. It's not self powered like a perpetual motion device, those aren't real. But regenerative braking is a worthwhile addition to an electric truck. Why wouldn't solar paper or whatever we want to call it also be part of the solution?

Clearly you've never owned an air fryer wanted a solar powered car. Or imagine shipping containers covered in these powering the trucks that haul them! Or trains! Even boats. Basically any kind of self powered transit, especially ones with greater surface area.

Second edit: Another idea! Clingfilm solar panels for windows, or blinds and curtains that can power the lights!

Or wind turbines skinned in thin, light, flexible solar panels. You'd double dip on energy per square meter. You could have a solar farm on a stick that also makes wind energy.

So you said a lot things I'm not going to address, but what strikes me as unfortunate is that you assume anyone who is not autistic but expresses concern on their behalf would normally mock you. That seems like a pretty far reach and a pretty lonely way to view the people who only seem to be expressing empathy for you, even if it is misguided. You must be pretty jaded to come to that conclusion so quickly.

I'm glad you and your friends aren't offended. Good for you guys.
