And most franchises are required to purchase their raw ingredients from the parent corporation, which means that even if they choose to be flexible on their prices their baseline costs are still set by a global conglomerate.

I wouldn’t expect people who don’t have the self-discipline needed to cook a frozen pizza in the oven to be capable of organizing a large-scale national rebellion.

If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.

And, just like people who install solar panels on their homes tend to use more energy than people who do not, finding a tricky way to buy additional time for us will only exacerbate and prolong how long we are destructive as a species to the planet that we live on.

You are correct, but I hope we can all agree there is a special place in hell reserved for people who interfere with health workers and cause death in the process.

That’s right on par with raping a nun, or a priest diddling a kid in my book.

I can move my fingertip joints without moving the rest of my finger.

I can also ear rumble, it is not tied to my blinking at all, but if I vibrate my eyes while my ears are rumbling they both move at the same ~60hz frequency.

It’s called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

What happens when the heart just stops by the frames. Went through a breakup not too long ago, just feeling The vibes now.

Good point! I was thinking kind of like giraffe, they obviously must have some sort of like very long breathing tube to make it from their head to their lungs.

Maybe centaurs have like some sort of gill system or whatever that would be for land walking mammals?

There’s no way that a human heart would be able to pump enough blood to supply the full vascular needs of a thousand pound centaur.

Most likely, the human halfs heart is more of a vestigial organ or more of an assisting organ to help ensure that even under strenuous cardio that the brain receives enough blood flow to operate optimally.

The lung system though is definitely a weird one. I would be more inclined to believe that there are no lungs in the centaurs human half, maybe the areas that are lungs in a human would be something like a cud sack or some sort of extra biliary devices to increase the amount of acidity to break down their largely herbivorous appetite.

That’s a pretty standard issue with grid tied solar systems. You save a lot of money by not having batteries, but when the neighborhood goes down you go down with it.

Plus you don’t want to be pumping electricity into a downed power system, you could actually end up hurting a line man who is working on the system.

However, and both of these issues can be resolved by adding in a generator and a whole house cut off system.

In a power outage scenario, all you would have to do is throw the crossover switch and crank the generator. The generator would produce enough energy to reactivate the solar system.

The first problem is solved by line sensing technology. If there is not power coming in and off of the switch then the inverter will not pump energy back into the system, at least on the ones that are not $12 cheap Chinese junk off of taobao.

And rather than suicide cords they generally have an IEC connector (standard rhombusy shaped computer power connector) on one end and a normal prong on the other.

But you are right that it is dangerous and not recommended to anyone, especially the people that are not smart enough to take the appropriate concerns and considerations into mind before using it.

That happens quite a bit in a lot of areas. It sounds stupid but your toaster does not care where the electricity it is using comes from.

As long as the sine waves are in sync with each other then you have nothing to worry about.

It’s probably not standard in America because the technology is newer and the regulations haven’t caught up.

Like I said. You’re wrong.

I definitely understand how women would be afraid of encountering a random man in the forest. I also understand that the advantage of encountering a bear is that they would know to immediately run the fuck away. And I can understand how that scenario makes them feel.

Just because I can see the other side does not mean I endorse the other side. Broaden your mind

I have no dog in the fight. I’m merely a spectator commenting on what I see.

So you can draw whatever conclusions you wish about the side that I’m picking in this debate and you’re going to be wrong.

It’s a fallacy to put one vs many in an argument like this.

Individual men were hurt by feeling classified as more dangerous to a random woman than a bear in the woods when their lived experiences place them well below that threat, even though they are aware that there is a portion of men who are more dangerous to random women in the woods than the average bear, but their responses were taken as an attack on women rather than an expression of personal indignation and further proof that men are dangerous.

Individual women got to express their experiences and opinions in a way that got through to a lot of men and other women what they felt as a whole, but since groups are unable to address individual responses eloquently and on an even level, they trampled over a lot of innocent men.

There are no winners in scenarios like these, and anything you add or subtract from the argument paints you in a bad light.

The only winning move is not to play.

I wonder if that’s not cherry picking because the man v bear argument was literally designed to initiate controversy and discussion, it’s a very polarizing question.

I am out of the loop, what happened to duckduckgo?

Every once in awhile it crosses my mind that if I just gave up my morals I could make so much fucking money.

The difference between me being a middle-class American and me being filthy fucking rich is every day I wake up and I choose not to defraud every single person I possibly can of their money.

I feel like I should get a little thank you now and again, because I could be the greatest monster you’ve ever seen but instead I’m just a nobody and I don’t think I get nearly enough appreciation for my service.
