Yeaaaah, I hate that. A lot of the structures that everyone says are shite seem to be propped up by “solutions” that create and perpetuate the problems they “solve.”

I’m ignorant of the mechanism of solar panels and electrical grids…do they just explode if they are set up and not draining power?

Because why can’t you just cut the inflow of electricity on a signal? I’d appreciate actual answers.

Edit: In fact, I don’t see why “just don’t send the power if it isn’t needed” doesn’t work for any power generation source. In lieu of answers, I can imagine the issue is with the non-renewable resources. Maybe you want to spin down burning generators, if you don’t need the extra energy. So it’s a planning problem to know when you don’t need energy, so you know when you don’t need to burn resources.

But you don’t waste wind if you just let the turbines keep spinning while blocking of energy output. Sunlight isn’t burnt up if solar panels keep slurping while the downstream draw is blocked.

Is this a problem being baked in because it’s assuming “burnable fuel” restrictions?

Or maybe…they’re too transparent.

I don’t think it was ever shown as a “good idea”. Wasn’t it put up as a bread and circuses thing to placate the civic population from real problems, while the government did Very Bad Things?

Yeah, if you kill a guy and brag about it, their next-of-kin just has to nurse that grudge until next Purge.

I would think insurance would just change policy to void claims from Purge Day. There’s no way they’re accepting life insurance claims for a day with insane amounts of murder.

Don’t you do that

You set up debt plans to enslave people through credit on daily necessities.

The same reason people still learn Latin or maintain legacy system in outdated programming languages.

…why not just “magister” and avoid a word that already has very strong, current connotations with fantasy?

I don’t see why he said “come again?” except to set up the innuendo and ‘punchline’. Didn’t set him up to be hard of hearing. Is the lady character normally someone who demands to be heard or never takes back what she’s said?

Edit: also, the last time they had pizza was the night he impregnated her? Is that they insinuation? Because that’s a long time to not have pizza, especially if you have kids.

Was this fucker on Epstein’s island or something? Why is he gargling sack, and why has no one told him it’s a bad idea to do it to Israel?

Neat.

Are they tattoos? I thought Dathomiri Zabrak just had skin spot patterns?

Oh…oh no! I wasn’t being clever.

I was quite literally thinking through the nomenclature for classifying organisms and decided “genus” was too broad, so “species” should be correct. A train and a gangbang share many traits, and probably could successfully hybridize.

I’ll take the W tho

It’s a different species of n-some.

A gangbang is usually multiple partners in parallel. A train is typically multiple partners sequentially.

How does that sqaure away with FOSS?

*deduce, in case you’re not a native English speaker. “Deduct” is like “subtract”.

I can’t think a response from Grok that would add to the tableau. Whether Grok gets the answer right or wrong, the joke is that someone follows a post decrying the surrender of thought to machines by immediately surrendering thought to a (racist) machine. It’s complete.

If Superman was already heading home with his clothes, why wear the outfit underneath at all??

I posit he just crushes it down to the molecular level with super strength and hides it in his ear.

Yeah, there has been a trend of people claiming they are disillusioned with Trump over gas prices and starting another war. 90% approval seems “high”.
