He will take bribes to hand out exceptions, I guarantee it

It’d be wildly inefficient compared to modern windmills which churn out millions of watts. No one would do that.

About 30,000, or 30 kilowatts. You could power your neighbors to the sides and in front of you, maybe also in back of you. That’s about it, but that’s pretty good.

Don’t forget all the stalking by many various people abusing the database and live feeds

Is that you, Woody?

No argument there. Again, how difficult is it to understand it was a joke about their distrust of technology

If you scale up the Amish to national sized governance it would be socialism with extra steps. But I was referring to their distrust of technology.

Yep. The Amish were right.

We can’t even trust our benevolent billionaires now?! What has this world come to

You know what we do build? Wind turbines, solar (yes, really, massive plants just went up and online), and new mega battery manufacturing plants (30 plus currently). Sodium ion batteries are now being produced and are so good that traditional battery manufacturing is at 50%, they don’t lose capacity at extreme cold temps, they don’t catch on fire in wrecks, they will outlive their owners, they scale up to home and industrial size use cases, they cost less than half traditional batteries. So maybe we fucking focus on transitioning as much as we can to electric for gods sake.

It’s 2026, we’re making our own hot pockets in an air fryer as part of our meal plan to save money, where you at?

Oh… yeah…

It’s early and I haven’t had my coffee yet, but I’m not sure I get it

That’s how these lonely bigoted dorks with new money think being rich and powerful and cool works - overpay for whatever you want and force others to give it to you, with money you gained through slave labor, destructive practices, stealing from future generations and corruption. They think might makes right, so yeah, they think they’re elite for paying people to pretend to care about them when they’re not on stage or social media or in a board room.

If ai doesn’t kill all the poors at their command it’s gonna be real funny when we use it against (peaceably of course) the rich who tried to employ it as a weapon against us all.

I’m really focusing on saving up for some stickers with flames on them, that’ll speed it up as much as I can afford for a while

I was pretty shocked that it’s got integrated support for split screens, AR, VR, etc. I’m old, so that just seems amazing.

So was the first avenue

Thank you for the response, very informative!

People are out here still rooting for the circus ring master when we have known for decades now that they’re beating and enslaving the elephants, tigers, and crew alike, while splitting what the pick pockets get from the crowd while everyone enjoys the show.
