What's also interesting is that you have to factor in the costs and CO2 emissions of the fuel source and it's delivery method. A new building code for a county in my area was adopted which requires calculations for energy efficient HVAC systems and also CO2 emissions with those systems. Surprisingly, natural gas has less CO2 emissions associated with it, while electricity is 2.86 times as much. This is because grid electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels, then needs to be delivered to the site but there are many losses along the way. So even if the all electric equipment is twice as efficient as the equivalent natural gas equipment, it still contributes more CO2 production. This is part of the issue with phasing out natural gas and moving to all electric in its current state. But with that is the push (and requirements) to produce energy on site and shift towards net zero energy for commercial sites, which is definitely better than using grid power from an emissions standpoint.

Please yes please I cannot wait!!

As if the original viral footage wasn't enough, but glad there are more angles to remove all doubt.

Pretty insane that his mother is literally willing to die for "justice" when it's dead obvious he initiated everything. Some people are blind to the truth when it involves family.

My tired brain accidentally read this as "anti-trust" laws and was surprised but excited, but then was confused reading the comments. Then I reread the title and was like oh fuck, this is messed up as hell. My excitement died in .01 seconds.

Seriously fuck these people. They are more obsessed/concerned with trans people's genitals than actual trans people...

Those posts are people running wild with a hint of a conspiracy going on and many people immediately jumped on the bandwagon. You're completely right and not every site will be 100% safe, but it's not like there is some conspiracy with the mods getting paid off for malicious content. That's just absurd to consider with the "evidence" provided.

For some people, everything has to be a conspiracy. Logical, easily verifiable reasons for things can't possibly be the truth to them. Especially if it comes from the opposing political party, it is automatically false to them. Even if verifiable.

Honestly I wasn't sure of the benefit either, but your response makes so much sense. I don't know why there always has to be conspiracies for obvious stuff.

As an American Engineer, the US measurement system disgusts me. The rest of the world uses SI, but my entire industry (and most of the US) uses the English system still and I absolutely hate it. Converting from ft to inches, or BTUs and tons, cubic feet, etc. Our lazy asses haven't joined the rest of the world yet. I wish we would just force the change and get over it

But in the US it unfortunately is. The right has made it a political "stance" while it's just a matter of human rights. It shouldn't be political, but it is and it pisses me off

I remember having an S6 and it come with so many apps preinstalled that you can't uninstall. There's the default Google/android apps which is fine because those are the basics. Then Samsung puts a bunch of their own apps on there that basically duplicates a bunch of these and can't be uninstalled, and then there's other bloat apps like Facebook, maybe candy crush or some shit, maybe Netflix, that all can't be uninstalled. The worst offender is Facebook because it was on almost any other phone not running stock android but supposedly had deeper privileges as a "system" app

Swiping from anywhere on the edge of the screen is faster because your thumb is already there. Having to move all the way down to the bottom of of the screen with your thumb takes longer. Also take into account the chance of missing the button and having to try again, vs a gesture that needs to be much less precise

What is the point of this kind of post and what kind of beneficial discussion does it bring to the platform? It's one thing to discuss what they are actually doing or saying, and it's another to assume what they are thinking just to make some point about them? We shouldn't stoop to their level and make assumptions about their thought process. Conservatives will do the same thing based on the BS they hear and assume all left leaning people desire to kill babies and force gender change surgery on minors, which we all know is not true. This post is basically doing the same thing.

Sure many conservatives have brain dead "political opinions" on actual science and fact, but this post doesn't help in any way

This is exactly what made me leave Instagram years ago. When they changed it so you only get the algorithmic feed. I can't stand it, why can't we just choose the fucking sort order we want?? These platforms give users no control and it's what makes them so frustrating to try to use. Reddit was the last "social" platform I was really using and now that's gone to shit too.
