Mostly because I am not in a place, financially or home-wise, to install a full grid-connected system. I’m just looking for something that I can use to charge enough battery to run a lamp, fan, charge devices, or other such similar light loads on a daily basis. It won’t bring my power bill to zero, but it will chip away at it.
Is there a good place to ask about independent (non-grid-connected) solar for an otherwise grid-connected structure? I’d love to set something like this up, but can’t find any systems which don’t require wiring into the gird.
May I point out this entire question is fundamentally broken.
I have absolute authority over the entire world? I order everyone to vote ‘Approve’ on me. “But wait!” you say, “You can’t just order them to do that! They’ll never listen to you!”
And that could be absolutely true. But if it is, then my authority is no longer absolute - in which case, no course I take will work, because anyone can elect to not follow it. I can’t compel any group of people - nations, religions, corporations, the local elderly golfer’s association - to do anything. And the second they realize that, they’ll break off to pursue their own agendas.
At most, I can select one broad coalition who I think will work with me, and try to leverage a smaller group. But now we’re just back to good ol’ factionalism, and that’s not a long-term winning solution.
Hey,
I actually reached out via email and was in contact with someone at Info@lemmy.world. I can respond again and see if there is progress this time.
Oh yeah, I totally understood why you chose to cut it off there. I’m just okay with a few more years of subsequent content.
This, though I’d even be willing to stretch it a few years later.
You get everything from people analyzing the gritty details of the technology of the setting, to the classic wild adventure romps, to wacky mystic stuff. It brought us incredible stuff like the original Battlefront II’s portrayal of clones, Jango and Boba Fett being further fleshed out, Shatterpoint being basically Space Vietnam, and more.
tl;dr (if I am getting this right):
Sometimes moderators don’t get if something is forbidden under the TOS, or believe something should be forbidden but isn’t. Ask an admin if uncertain.
Moderators can further restrict content beyond the bare minimum of the TOS. Please don’t complain to the admins if a moderator does this (in good faith, obviously).
Conversely, moderators, please read the TOS and don’t tell someone something is forbidden under it if it actually isn’t.
Previously, admins told mods to remove content re: Jury nullification when discussing violent crimes.
Currently, this has been limited only to discussion of jury nullification of future violent crimes, as it could imply someone should actually perform said violent action because they would be acquitted via jury nullification. As far as I can tell, this is the only actual change of any rule in this post.
Summary over, personal thoughts follow: That one specific change, I don’t actually have any issue with. Reasonable enough. Obviously the devil is in the details of what is forbidden under “advocating violence”; that is a monstrously complex discussion beyond the scope of this particular announcement. Furthermore, the value of some of the clarifications in this post are dependent on admins actually holding an open dialogue with users, the track record of which is… variable. (I am still waiting on a response from months ago, which I was then told would be available in a few weeks.)
Additionally, since lemmy.world remains federated with other instances which tolerate unpleasant behavior and I see no indication on this post that this will change, this functionally changes little of users’ ability to access that content and contribute to it anyhow.
Yes!
The whole game’s aesthetic was fantastic. Nailed that kind of grungy, late-90s cyberpunk aesthetic in a voxel RTS game in a way that I don’t feel any has since. Something about the style made you feel like fighting in a world being strangled by Tiberium.
Yep. (Mira Furlan was a real punch in the gut, particularly.)
Ah man, Renegade. Definitely had one of the more interesting multiplayer match concepts. The closest thing I’ve maybe seen was Planetside, and, uh… well, Planetside 2 has plenty of its own issues.
But still. Good memories of shacking everyone into a flame tank, or running around like madmen trying to figure out where the hell that nuke beacon was planted. Have you seen the Tiberian Sun Renegade efforts?
The volume spontaneously resets itself to the default level ~50%. I think it means the headphone jack has issues, and it’s thinking a device is being connected/disconnected.
As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.
(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)
Man, they won’t even remaster Tib Sun and RA2. You know fans would go absolutely bonkers for those, even moreso than original C&C/RA.
I’m particularly bitter about the unreleased FPS shooter. Seeing the Scrin as actually in-person terrifying monsters, plus a more empathetic Brotherhood of Nod, could have made for some great stories.
I am in a relatively stable area with police who are reasonably well-behaved and under rational oversight. So… all the usual reasons?
I’ve called because I sighted a possibly rabid animal. The police didn’t arrive in a hail of gunfire which struck a bunch of innocent bystanders. I’ve had them turn up to take notes on a car accident. They were polite and not aggressive.
Like, I fully recognize I’m lucky to live in an area where the police aren’t abusive. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to call them because they are assholes somewhere else.
“In the middle of my backswing?!”
Not my favorite, but it’s certainly a good one.
