This is not that discussion, even remotely. Try to stay on topic.

While we're throwing around our favorite TED talks, here's the meat of my favorite in animated form.

Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

Looking back over my jobs, hobbies, life in general, yeah, this hits hard. And yes, they found some surprising results.

EDIT: I was wrong. Not a TED talk. Watch it anyway and learn!

By virtue of you actually knowing what a firewall is, and participating in the conversation, on this platform, you are ahead of 99 out of 100 people.

Y'all missing the whole point here.

If an area requires covering, it might as well produce some power. And cells on the ground aren't as bad as they're made out.

I have one laying flat in the yard powering a 12V water pump. Been there for 6-months, covered in pollen and dust, weeds growing over one side, grass cuttings on top, never cleaned, works fine. I have another on my shed roof at our camp. Same deal with the pollen and dust, works fine. But guess which one is easier to clean?

Cells don't have to be pristine to produce power. And if you do want to clean them? The installation pictured looks easy to work with a garden hose and squeegee, couldn't take 30 minutes. Use concrete instead? OK, now you have to power wash it. What a pain.

I've got a 4D Mag but just can't justify the expense of the conversion kit. Got one for an old gf's light and they are DOPE! But for the $70 price tag I can get a couple of super nice handhelds that weigh nothing.

There are only two reasons any post-pubescent human isn't having sex:

  • They can't find anyone to fuck them.

  • They're legitimately asexual. (A rare thing. And no lemmy, just because you're not getting laid doesn't make you "asexual".)

Abortion as birth control is a lie they've been harping on for decades. No one does that. No one says, "Aw crap! Preggers again, off to the abortionplex!"

I've impregnated two women that had abortions. I won't go into the details, but we talked about it, decided to do it, and they were both emotionally crushed. The second woman lost her ability to ever have children from the procedure.

Abortion is not a thing to be taken lightly, and no one does.

And thanks for sticking your neck out and asking around here. Surprised you weren't excoriated.

What a strange way to announce to the world that you're so pathetic a hooman female won't even throw you a pity fuck.

"Well hell, I should try something different in that gun that doesn't work quite right. Wonder if this works better?"

There. Impulse buy.

Who cares? You can buy ammo in plenty of places and most of us buy it online for the deep discount.
