Does not work on MacOS Firefox.

And… they can begin making payments on their share of the federal debt.

Instead let's have more light rail and electric buses please.

What type of product were you trying to buy? I had trouble like this when ordering borate wood preservative. Maybe six sellers cancelled my order. Not all replied to my messages asking for more info. Those that did vaguely referred to shipping problems. Eventually I gave up on eBay and got the item from an online store. HTH.

I'm not sure Mace's joke is all that funny. True yes, but funny?

Whether or not this is true, Israel seems to be really good at creating more angry people with little to lose.

Yeah, I‘m relieved that American Indians haven’t resorted to rockets. Instead they’re playing the long game by weaponizing casinos.

I moved from DO after my IP address landed on a spam list. At the time DO specifically discouraged installation of mail servers on their machines. Since then I‘ve been running my Mail in a Box server on a Vultr instance with good results.

Bold of him to assume that Jordan has really learned something. Yeah he Jordan quit the effort for now, but will we see him be a changed man?

For the curious, that don't read the article...

"American businessman and software engineer. He is the co-author of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser with a graphical user interface; co-founder of Netscape; and co-founder and general partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.:"

But damn, those funny hats are expensive!

I should call her...

Yeah, the count of fires is up...

Shaw found that there were 56 recorded solar system fires in 2018, the most recent year of reported data, which is up 36% from the 41 recorded in 2017. In 2015, the first year that Shaw got data from USFA, there were 25. Since 2015 the Fire Administration has recorded 155 fires caused by solar installations, with 84 being residential systems and 71 being non-residential." https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/04/23/solar-system-fires-are-on-the-rise-in-the-u-s/

...but so is the count of installations. There are probably more than 56 installations in my town, in my state there are 1,841,539 (https://www.seia.org/state-solar-policy/california-solar). The rising count is not a reason to dis the technology as a whole.

Unfortunately solar has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, because solar in general has very low margins and was often done by fly-by-night contractors. They cut corners, particularly with cable sizes, leading to them catching fire. These problems have been more or less resolved now, at least for solar farms on the ground in a field, however people are still wary of rooftop solar.

Huh, I installed solar more than 20 years ago and have been following the industry since then. This is the first I've heard that "everyone" has had a problem with it. That kind of negativity sounds like what electric companies would like us to believe. What's the source for this?

Yeah, cruelty is the point sadly.

Lots of posts on this issue today. We also need support for rooftop solar, community solar and battery installations. For funding: stop subsidizing fossil fuel and meat industries.

Agreed. More rooftop solar, community solar and batteries will help a lot.

Then: Seat belts are needlessly expensive. Later: look at the new safety feature we added!

Now: These new rules are needlessly expensive. After new model release: look at what great mileage it gets!

I'm tired of this.

Oh, different reference. I was playing off the Christmas carol. Olive the other reindeer…
