  • Okay I read the article and it’s way more dystopian than a free tv in exchange for ads. This thing is pretty creepy.

    I didn’t realize it has like a camera counting the viewers and their participation, and that you had to use it exclusively as your main tv, and that you can’t even put stuff in front of the ad screen.

    Jesus Christ.

  • Bro did you read the article?

    One of the first things they mention is the need for large battery banks to store the generated power in for later when you need it.

    And of course you can make “excess” power in the context of power being generated more than is being consumed and/or lost due to inefficiencies in your system.

    It’s neat you “work in the industry”, though, explains a lot.

  • What does this mean?

    The author is simply sharing a report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) about inefficiencies in the Texas grid and how it’s structured.

    Texas has their own plan to rely more on oil and older technologies, so if anyone needs to see this, it’s Texas.

    This report may be meaningless to certain Texas politicians, but it’s certainly not worthless in general.

  • I woke up one day and suddenly realized I “was” and couldn’t remember anything previous to then.

    Maybe like 4 to 6, asked my older brother if he had the same thing happen to him growing up and he said “yeah, I guess” and then left, like he always did. So I figured the amnesia mixed with consciousness was normal and have been remembering the suffering since, lmao.
