Oh, I love this one!
🎵Eeooh eeoh eeeeeeee! cghghcghcghrshhhhhh!🎶
For me it was a bit different though, because the song was kept alive in rural areas until the horrors of Hugh’s Net (and Wild-Blue-Exeed-ViaSat)

I love that movie! It got bad ratings?
You succeeded at XKCD 2184
Edit: wait, it has to have come out after 2000. You almost succeeded at XKCD 2184.
Now I wish our legal system could let the winner designate a beneficiary, like,
“if you lose, you have to donate $600,000 to this child literacy program” or something.
And just have the money go directly from the loser to the charity.
Maybe that’s already a thing. I don’t know how our legal system works.
Alternatively, it’s possible cell companies like T-Mobile will lobby against these anticompetitive agreements, since it does reduce their number of potential customers. I don’t like cell company lobbying any more than ISP lobbying, but in this case, let them fight.
Something tells me T-Mobile’s got a little too much class solidarity to have any interest in reducing the profits of Charter Communications.
btw, I’m stealing this and turning it into a writing prompt over on Literature Cafe.
The game is hampered by a lack of any retry-mission/save/load feature. Right now, players are stuck indefinitely with the negative consequences of their mistakes.
I like Joplin’s cross platform sync. I hop between phone and PC constantly with it.
So we heavily incentivize industrial sites to shift operation to hours during which power production exceeds demand?
That said, R.J. Gumby was able to give a fantastic link about the storage technology currently in use.
I believe the article is arguing that we need to scale them up. Although: it mentions that the Tennessee Valley Authority already uses pumped hydroelectric storage at the foot of Raccoon Mountain (side-note, I know nothing about Tennessee, but somehow naming a mountain “Raccoon Mountain” confirms all of my stereotypes about the state), to supplement its grid during low-production hours.
Which is, I’m assuming, the reason that hydrogen use and production are expected to vastly increase in the next 30 years.
Oh thanks for the link! This is a good one. According to the article we’re already using:
And the article ends with,
“The price of storage is coming down. The price of solving the problems in other ways is going up. Pretty soon, these prices are going to cross,” notes Boyes, suggesting cost could spur the addition of storage to the grid.
Australia too, according to a video I found.
Wait! Never mind. I should have done a simple web search before posting this question.
I found a video on it.
England already has two oversea electric cables that connect it to France on the one side and Scandinavia on the other. They have more than paid for themselves already, indicating that this a solution already being implemented in parts of the world… At least for short distances.
Are we doing an Aktion T4 now?
On that note, why – when most of modern conservatism has so many direct parallels in the Third Reich – do they call our side the fascists?
This isn’t really an answer to the question, but I just saw a Mastodon post about an online store that’s opening this October called Artisans.coop
It seems to be a cooperatively owned Etsy alternative, (and I can only assume it’s a response to whatever shenanigans went on between Etsy and Silicon Valley Bank.)
I use this Android benchmark website whenever a sibling asks me, “what phone should I get?”
It’s not a precise comparison. (In fact, it rates different carrier software running the same LG G710 phone hardware as anything from 7,000 to 8,000.) And it reminds you of its imprecision several times.
But some phones made today benchmark like they’re seven years old. And the site helps you avoid those egregious cases.
The name is pretty self-explanatory, but even if you don’t know the exact program you’re looking for, the search tool can find you programs based on a description like, “photo editor” or “markdown editor.”
It’s one of the first places I go when looking for software. Especially open source software.
