I can buy electricity from the grid and use it for literally anything I can think of...except charge my home storage batteries. I can heat a pool, run a dryer for 24 hours per day, charge multiple EVs, etc., but stupid short-sighted regulations say I can't directly charge my powerwalls from the grid - it's dumb.

Expand Well, you’re getting around 25% less from the Colorado due to federal rationing cuts due to the drought. It’s sorta an issue since that area grows crops for the U.S. during the winter months.

Expand Adapt is a word...right now the farmers are lashing out at everyone when they should look in the mirror. Some of the farmers tried to point the finger at Cannon AFB and their water usage given the Ogallala Aquifer is projected to be depleted in 10 years. Curry County New Mexico has a population of 48,000. Cannon has a bit over 12,000 Active Duty, GS/NAF employees plus dependents. The base itself uses less than a quarter of the red sliver...who is causing the issue? You are 100% correct, things are going to change, they must. In the graph below the red is public water for utilities. 1

Which is fine but not possible as far as I know if you aren't storing but returning your excess. It would be tough to find a contractor that would be willing to install a solar setup and not follow the local code/rules. Expand Ok fair enough. We don't have those codes here for now. But if we did, and don't quote me on this, but there are a lot of videos on how to bypass the contractors and install every bit of it yourself.

They could also educate people to not believe everything they read or hear? That seemed to work prior to the internet. Expand Exactly. Prior to the internet. Laws became necessary with each technological revolution. Fortunately with the internet we acted with great discretion to see what the new technology would become, and now almost 30 years later, I think we know enough to decide what is and isn't ok. It's easy to just stick your fingers in your ears and call on "personal responsibility," but do we really expect 13 year old girls to just be responsible and not consume content that makes them suicidal? But Seth, what about the parents!? That's their job!! Well what about kids with no parents? Or shitty parents? We just doom them to the predations of corporate sociopaths who will do anything to sell more ads? We need laws that protect children because we have decided as a society that they can't protect themselves. Adults don't need the same protection, but they do need to know the rules of the game, and that the game is fair. Expecting everyone to read dozens of EULAs and consent to selling their personal data to advertising giants to use software that is expected by most professions now is a broken concept. I do not trust the government, like many here. But I think people are forgetting *why* it's bad to trust government. Too much power in the hands of too few people tends to create tyrants who act to enrich themselves and lock out competition to their thrones. The tech "oligarchs," as this thread is titled, seem to fit that description a little too well these days, and I don't trust them either. 1
Biff_T Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 There's no easy answer to solve this problem but I'd rather restrict the viewing age of content than give the government full control. Don't let children under 21 consume beer or social media. 🤔 1
SocialD Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) If true...thought police in action. I used to shake my head when reading books that showcased how people could quickly turn against their own countrymen (eg...WW2). To arbitrarily do such a thing with out even the least bit of investigation is insane and indicative of what is wrong with cancel culture today. The arrogance of the organization to not even offer an apology or recompense, is also indicative of those who push cancel culture. Edited June 12, 2023 by SocialD

Biff_T Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) How did canceling become a thing? Because people place more value on their internet personality than actual life. Vanity? Its amazing how little social media impacts you when you dont engage with it religiously. Anyways, I'm glad im still smarter than my house.
