    Solar Farm economics....

    Yeah, I'd have a solar setup as well, except for the fact that it would cost me about six figures to remove enough trees to get sunlight, and then I'd have to worry about the fog half the year. The payback just isn't there for me.

    Solar Farm economics....

    Yeah, it's all part of the total charge. Where I live, the county pulled some crap where they automatically shifted people to a different generation company unless they opted out. They claimed to be cheaper than the god-awful, convicted felon PG&E. When looking into it, the savings is...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Yeah, a pretty steep one, too...

    California jewelry store owner shoots at mob of thieves, scares them off | FOX 11 LA

    The fucking idiots should be giving him a medal, not prosecuting him. The authorities do nothing to stop this bullshit, so someone has to.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Seriously, this is all just click-bait, IMO. They use random criteria with odd weightings to come up with this bullshit, and in the end, it's not like someone who is sick is going to move to San Francisco and think he's going to get better.

    Looks like he admitted that he is a DEI hire. Not the best for the job, but the best of a sub-group chosen for physical characteristics rather than what is required to do the job. How sad.

    I think Newscum would enjoy that.

    The official "WTF" thread

    Interesting... When working for a former employer, I was sent to their India office for a week. I saw a lot of the same stuff. They provided drivers for most employees (not everyone wanted a car, with they way they "drive" there, using the term very lightly), they get in to the office at 9:00...

    Your comments on this =>MileFlask: The Ultimate Long-Range Security Solution

    There's always a trade-off... In this case, the low-power is good because it allows larger distance coverage, but the negative is that is would severely limit bandwidth. There is no possible way to get a decent image with this.

    Money & Economics

    Sorry, but this math just doesn't work out. Even if we got a lot of coffee from Brazil (which I don't think we do), a 50% tariff would not mean a doubling of price. It would mean that the green raw beans from Brazil, before the value-add of shipping, roasting (which is done here as far as I...

    Nah, I buy coffee fresh from local roasters (yes, a coffee snob, if you will). I prefer coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya.

    If the implication is that tariffs are responsible for a 50% increase in price, I call bullshit. There is no fucking way.

    Stupid bitch is trying to defend the indefensible. Anyone mob member punching or kicking a sole defenseless person should be shot on sight.

    Actually, it's the other way around... The red in meat is due to oxygen. The center will turn brown because it doesn't have exposure to oxygen. And it's not just meat that they do this with... I bought a two-pound bag of rainbow carrots, and they showed the white, yellow, and purple ones...
