Having zero/negative prices incentivizes programs to incentivize consumers to use energy storage to get cheaper prices. Anyone who uses AC/heaters has at least their residence as a thermal battery and people can do things like shift when they do energy intensive activities as well.

Also, if you want enough power generation to power through the evening, then having excess generation during the peak generation hours/days is the expectation. When building new solar/wind is less than half the price of building any other form of energy production (even before considering the externalities of most of those other forms of energy production), its still cheaper to “overbuild” by a factor of two to reduce the need for other sources of power and provides the expectation of excess power needed to justify building storage.

But did they give rid of the “add entire database worth of data to the current message” button?

You could use spherical balloons with really long, but different length, strings for each person. Of course you’d have to avoid tangling your balloons together while walking around like that and given wind can vary with elevation…

Technically all estrogen users are steroid users (and so are people use certain medications for reducing inflammation). But I know what you mean. I know men needed estrogen for certain things like bone health, but that’s cool high T can be balanced by higher E for some of its side effects.

If you use estrogen, it probably won’t help with the type of gains people try to get from lifting, but other gains are possible.

Smooth like sharks? In all directions.

One time I was with some of my friend’s family and his uncle spoke to me in Spanish, and I responded in English, but that was still enough to surprise my friend’s cousins. That in a part of the US where like half the people speak Spanish, yet it somehow is that uncommon for white people to know even the basics of Spanish.

Doesn’t matter how short or long it is. People intentionally write simple short sentences all the time with extra words that like 90% misread. The easiest of of these sentences to make are those that happen to have a word repeat after a linewrap, especially short common words. Than and that are close enough to fit into that same overlook.

Another way to differentiate would be things like rendering technology. While raytracing is starting to be partially utilized a little bit, I’d hardly say it’s taken over yet, so there’s not much technological difference between a 360 and a PS5. Mostly boils down to more cores and faster with some minor extra features. Far more difference between even the SNES and the N64 than between the PS1 and the PS5 imo.

You could also use Internet access as a determinant, but then even snes and Sega Genesis wouldn’t be retro (at least in Japan).

Could just define retros as anything that fits at least one or 2 of those 4 characteristics of retro video game consoles, but the xbox360 is pretty much modern by all of them.

Remember your forward weekend to move cocks this 2485601

They had already went down by $400 for other units at the same apartment on the same floor. This was 2020, so covid lowered a lot of prices

The only way I got that to happen is by putting in my two-month notice and then signing up for the exact same unit when they listed it. Didn’t even have to moveout and they ended up charging us the lower rate for the two weeks between our current lease ending and the new one starting.

Soon we’ll abolish all transportation for being woke!

If they know what email and reddit it are, Lemmy should be pretty easy to understand, at least from a user-perspective. Replace reddit with Twitter/Bluesky for mastodon, Instagram for pixelfed, etc, etc. I don’t think understanding how email works at a tech level is important for being able to use it. Ditto for fediverse.

That your busy checking your emails

I thought their sarcasm was funny

A lot are looking at things like COL increases and one party claims they’re gonna lower prices and lower taxes and they don’t think about all the benefits they get from certain policies that are likely to be reversed and seem to think the biggest government budget is foreign aid, so all you have to do is cut that to solve the problems.

Around 30yo NB - Armpit, maybe bra-strap length if straightened - would like it longer, but no clue how much.

Countries are just a social construct.

Isn’t it more like they are living together now? Where USA created small reservations for Indians after killing and beating them into submission.

Canada’s history (including very recent history) with natives has been bad, which includes the forced assimilation programs that didn’t end until the mid 1990’s…
