“Rollable” solar panels are still pretty stiff. You would need a beefier mechanism to handle the extra forces required. They also have a pretty significant “minimum turn radius” so they would need an entirely new design for their mechanism to work without damaging the panels.

They do make personal solar array with a surface area comparable to your umbrella idea, but those would take days to charge a cellphone, so the charge you get walking around for a few hours is negligible.

It’s a cool idea, and would be a fun project to build and show off, but it’s not going to be marketable or practical without a whole lot of development in solar, battery and umbrella tech.

Ads in the 90’s and 00’s would just layer toolbars onto your browser. Is still have a a nervous twitch when I see a thick toolbars or animated cursors.

Goodput vs shitstream.

How much mental health care would have fixed Epstein?

Also, mandating that religious orgs report it is not the same as punishing people for uncontrolled urges. Once the person is reported, they can get help. If it’s not reported, they then will keep abusing children until the are caught by someone else.

Freedom of religion is not freedom to protect pedophiles.

Nah. There’s plenty of shit people on this planet, and I have no shame in wishing that most of them weren’t.

You can get a DA if your actions lead to your children not reproducing, but generally DAs are not awarded if you kill someone else.

So if his kids die in a Russian trench before reproducing, he would be eligible for a DA. A this time I’d give him a Honorable Mention at most.

Edit : Their sons from different marriages opted to stay behind in the US. This would be a HM at best.

I spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp full of alligators, and I can honestly say it was the best time of my life.

Shout-out to Stephen C Foster state park in GA.

Swamps are great. They’re havens of biodiversity. Trump is the logging machine from Ferngully, and Stephen Miller is Hexus.

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I don’t mind old hardware. It’s a rescue. Poor thing was in a disposal bin, and I gave it a forever home.

HP Elite x2 1012 G1. Has an Intel Core M5 processor.

Frankly. I was expecting to spend hours getting this thing in a useable state, but Mint had everything working on a clean install except for the the volume button on the tablet itself and the function buttons on the KB. Honestly very impressed. If I did a clean windows install I would be pulling drivers from HP and installing them for about an hour to get this level of functionality.

I figure a quick script or something that turns on the On Screen KB when the physical KB isn’t detected is possible, and that I can manually config the volume buttons and keyboard shortcuts. Then this tablet will have all its features working.

My newer hardware is circa 2015.

I’m helping!

Just put Mint on my 2-in-1! So far so good, except my volume buttons don’t work, and I have to manually toggle the on screen keyboard for text entry if I detatch the keyboard cover.

Even plus even equals even.

Odd plus odd equals even.

Only odd plus even makes an odd.

Are there twice as many even numbers as there are odd numbers?

Nah, super easy.

Each of you gets a million dollars, anyone talks about what happened tonight… well, let’s just say that you now know first hand I’m well connected, and I have the means to dispose of anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Also, don’t forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It’s the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.

Pretty sure this is why he is fucking over federal aid for disasters. Hurricane wipes out a bunch of “poor” houses on the south-east seaboard, his billionaire buddies buy up the properties for pennies on the dollar, and then Trump is going to re-instate disaster aid to help clean up affected areas while taking about how the coast used to look so beautiful, and it’s Biden’s fault that all those people got forced out of their homes. Wealth transfer complete, and we even pick up the bill for rebuilding all the infrastructure on for the billionaires.

I guess we doin’ non-sequiturs now.

Bad read on my part, sorry for the snark. Carry on.

My interpretation of your comment was that bifacial solar panels are a useless gimmick which allows companies to charge more for a cheaper product.

Is that correct?

That article was written just a few weeks before those Texas floods.

You need to put down your Great Man view of history and recognize the tidal social currents that got us here.

I don’t need to do shit. You need to re-read my comments and understand that there is a huge scale of difference between “not getting any more funding because of Republican legislators” and “actively cutting and shutting down a department that millions of Americans rely on every year to keep them from starving or becoming homeless”.
