This is exactly how I feel about the US Office of the President.

You've gotta be one dumb motherfucker to be lighting fires and taking a sledgehammer to the decks below you.

What fucking good is money going to do you if you ruin the country? Where the fuck do you think you're going to live, you motherfuckers.

It's why I think Vance, even if a bad president, would do better than this orange shitstain. He wouldn't have bombed Iran.

To be clear, I'd like Vance to get a little more than half a term.

The repeating lyrics and repeating rhymes bother me.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

I think he should have it.

Note: living presidents can't be on currency.

The recipients are secret, but at least they'll be committing crimes when they don't declare the income on their taxes.

 

It's tank time! In this patch, we've got a bit of a shake-up to the support roster. After seeing enchanters dominating for much of the year, and more recently mage supports pumping out oodles of damage with the recently re-added Deathfire Touch. We've also got some systemic adjustments to rebalance these archetypes and give melee supports some love.

Additionally, we have some adjustments for top laners, with a Heartsteel buff and a nerf to Hexplate for ranged users to make them pay a larger cost for getting a bunch of health. For Season 2 followups, Xin Zhao is going to heal a little bit less, and Smolder is getting some base damage nerfs that make building like a bruiser a little bit weaker.

Outside of that, we have some changes to some low-traffic client code, a slew of bugfixes, Arena updates, ARAM and ARAM: Mayhem bugfixes and adjustments, and more! Plus, we've got Eternal Aspects skins for Leona and Diana. And, finally, we hope you're hungry for some fine Italian dining. We've got mouthwatering skins for Sion, Illaoi, Irelia, and Vel'koz on today's menu. Mangia bene, gamers!

Inflation was largely due to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). While it was bipartisan, the absolute lack of oversight was completely the Republicans and Trump.

Biden had less inflation than the rest of the world at that time. The US recovered better than most everyone else.

full open border

Wat. The guy next to you is going to say he went full closed border.

His age and one sunsetting day are why we're stuck with trump again. And social media propaganda of course.

Biden was the best president we've had in the last 40 years and an incumbent. It's understandable to want to go with that instead of running someone new, even if he is having aging issues.

It wasn't until the debate that it became untenable.

I don't know why everything has to be nefarious. They were trying to do what they thought was best for the country.

Why do you feel it so necessary to defend China and deflect. It's well established that BYD uses slave labor.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In the first minute, "It has nothing to do with cheap labor."

Yeah, okay. At least you blast out the lies immediately so we know where you stand.

Every time they open a factory outside of China they're found to be using slave labor. But I'm sure it's different within China. Okay, buddy.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Aww shit. This is a thing now. Damn.

This is why social media is worse than worthless.

You shouldn't trust anyone here to be commenting in good faith, including these accusations.

Assume each and every comment is trying to manipulate you.

We’ve got some followup for the recent Season 2 changes to bring some of the more overpowered content in line and give a bump to some things that haven’t seen the adoption that they probably should. Items and runes are still key here - we’ve got nerfs to Deathfire Touch, Gluttonous Greaves, and Voltaic Cyclosword, and some buffs to Stormraider’s Surge and the two new starting items introduced last patch. Lee Sin’s throwing off the weights with limiters removed on his shield and some other modernization changes, and Quinn is heading into the jungle. We’ve also got some behavior updates with termination votes for disrupted games, and improved detection models for text.

I'm looking for something in the low hundreds range, mostly to do Visual Studio Code, pretty light html editing, general purpose stuff like Netflix and web browsing.

I'd kind of just like a decent tablet with a keyboard cover. The Pixel tablet might be an option, even if I have to go with something like this.

https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_tablet $280

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/k480-multi-device-wireless $35

I'd of course prefer to run Linux over Android if it works. Is there anything in a similar form factor and function for price in the Linux world?

 

Might not fit perfectly with the theme here, but thought people might be interested anyway.

I'd recommend it to anyone who owns their house, has a reasonably accommodating roof (particularly south facing), and plans to be in their house for the next 10 years.

June 2025 solar stats

With the 30% US federal tax credit, I expect to make back the investment in roughly 13 years. I'm not counting either the rising price of electricity or the opportunity cost of just putting that money in an index fund.

After 13 years, everything should be profit after that. But it's not just for the financial reasons.

It's a 13.7 kw system. Peak I've seen it produce so far is around 12.3, with a little less than half the panels facing north. I'm not sure if or when I should expect peak production if not around noon on the summer solstice.

I do recommend having some kind of battery. I went with a Tesla Powerwall 3, partly because I spent so much time haggling and negotiating with my solar installer that I didn't want to make any further changes. Partly because I expect Tesla to be a name brand that will be around in ten years. Enphase is much better, but it's also much more expensive. There are probably better options.

I have the Tesla PW3 providing stats through the Fleet API to Home Assistant, which is where these graphics are from. One of the biggest reasons I'd recommend against Tesla is that you're dependent on your stats to pass through their cloud API and back to you. If your internet goes down, you lose stats. If Tesla gets annoyed with you, or just decides to stop providing the service, you lose stats. If the PW3 still had a local API like the PW2 did, I'd feel much more comfortable with it. I don't have a home solar installation so that I can be dependent on some company. For anything, if I can help it.

Theoretically, when the power goes out, the PW3 is supposed to switch over in a number of milliseconds low enough to keep all the computers and electronics running. It's supposed to be an advantage over a generator, which takes a few seconds. The one grid power outage we've experienced so far did have a noticeable blinking of lights and a server restart.

The battery allows us to continue to have power when the grid power is out, completely disconnected from the grid. At least in my area, if you don't have a battery*, your solar goes out when the grid goes down. They don't want your power feeding back into the grid while they're working on what should be dead lines. (You can get the cutoff system installed without a battery, but it's a significant chunk of a battery price, and you might as well just get a battery.)

During the spring, the battery was often lasting through the night. For awhile we tried to be as self-sufficient as we could. My utility company paid us about 10 cents per kWh (in credits only), and charged us about 23 cents per kWh. So early I was trying to minimize use of the grid as much as possible, with automations to use the battery at the early part of the evening and during the morning. Then I realized that, yeah, there's a difference, but it only settles up once a month. So the ratio is 1:1 until that one day when it settles. Now I'm much less concerned about being self sufficient, though the couple weeks of experimenting with it was fun.

I should have all the hardware, with the Tesla Universal Wall Charger to allow me to use a vehicle as a whole home battery. I just got an Ioniq 6, which I've really enjoyed, and has some Vehicle to Load capability. But even though all the hardware is probably there, the software certainly won't allow anything but a Cybertruck to do the reverse charging through the wall charger. For reference, the PW3 holds 13.5kWh of energy. The car holds 77kWh. So getting that to work someday would basically expand our battery capacity by 6x, and certainly get us through any night where we're not using AC, likely getting us through multiple cloudy days without AC. (AC uses about 3 kWh per hour, otherwise known as 3 kw.)

Uh, I've had this post open way too long, so I'll just post. I've learned quite a bit over the past year. If anyone's thinking about it or wants to fire off some questions, I'm happy to answer what I can.
