Politics

[TorontoGold]

Go ahead and find the “countless” posts I called out people for trolling. I don’t post in the politics thread very much.But go ahead and give it your best shot.

The last time you pulled this “woah is me” crap and that I call you out all the time blah blah blah...... I pointed out that the last time I had called you out was like six months ago. You have a distorted perspective of reality.

You literally just purity checked Jigga. It's not a woah is me, I don't care, I'm more then down to have this discussion.

You should just stick to calling me a "fucking moron" or literally anything else because those are subjective, but a "troll" is objective and based off your previous definition there are tons of posters who meet your criteria and you literally do nothing when they do it. Just look at the Olympic thread for example, you did nothing when posters made it political and transphobic but only after people called them out on it is when you did your "omggg both sides need to chill".

It's so nakedly obvious to everyone, just accept it that you're as biased as the rest of us. What is the most hilarious thing about all of your savior complex to make sure posting is at the upmost quality is that it was me who messaged Beau to have the reporting feature re-added so that people could just report posts that were political so that we didn't need to have arguments derailing football threads. How funny is that. The supposed troll actually cares about keeping the politics out of those threads wow! So yeah, when do your best Napoleon routine about how posters you don't agree with are just trolls it's always good for a laugh because we all know that you're just as biased as the rest of us.

He's been put forth by the majority of Evangelical pastors in North Carolina. For what reason, I don't know, because it surely isn't moral. The guy is bad and has always been bad.

Unfortunately we have a mayor who needs to go. Crime has gotten progressively worse and yet somehow he managed to get reelected. He tried to cover up this sexual harassment and claims to have launched an investigation back when it occurred, but hasn't provided anyone with the report on the findings. His own wife filed for divorce in the middle of his campaign for reelection because he was spending his evenings at a bar looking for company.

Joe Hogsett says he won't resign as he faces questions about sexual harassment response

The Indianapolis mayor says he wants to regain voters' trust but still faces questions about how he handled the first complaint against Thomas Cook.

Oof. Rough day for Pastor Nude Africa.

The latest Ashley Madison info dump is quite a chef's kiss.

Not going out on a limb here, but I get the impression this guy won't handle prison all that well. Hunch.

Quite a week.

Here's the jelly to go with it.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

In other comments on Nude Africa, Robinson discussed his affinity for transgender pornography.

“I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”

The only kiss of death I see for the modern GOP is being a fan of transgender porn.

If he was gay it would have been the triple threat black/gay/trans.

She's too busy giving interviews discussing her agenda and plans in detail.

Lmao

Lmao

Why is it funny to you? It is intermittent energy. He is correct. Our grid is facing rapid load growth from data centers and unable to keep up because of supply chain, skilled labor, and interest rates. solar projects have the worst energy accreditation in resource adequacy. What did I miss that you find LMAO?

Because it doesn’t work at night.

How much does solar generate at night?

How much does solar generate at night?

Have we developed the ability to store energy?

 

[drayer54]

Have we developed the ability to store energy?

Not to any scale. It’s negligible. So….

 

[Bishop2b5]

I'd be happy to learn about this. How is solar energy or the electricity generated from it stored?

Solar energy generated enough for 13M homes in 2022? Do you understand what the word negligible means?

I'll read the article and respond when I have time this weekend. As for Drayer, he said the ability to store solar energy was negligible, not the ability to generate it. This is yet another example of you misrepresenting what someone says in order to make it easier for you to reply. This is why we call you the king of strawman arguing.

I don't care for your response, you asked and I thought I could respond in good faith without you doing what you typically do.

Drayer doesn't understand what a battery is. I don't know what to tell you guys, but, believe it or not a house that runs on solar energy doesn't just turnoff when sun goes down.

Way to go, you just defended someone who can't fathom that we've developed energy storage in 2024. I look forward to hearing about how cars can't have automatic transmissions or that music can't be stored on a computer.

Solar did not generate that during the night and the storage is indeed 100% negligible, even in Canada. I’m confident that I am not the one with the conceptual error here. Solar generates power when the sun is up and not when it is down. It also has a low capacity factor and doesn’t solve the generation gap we are experiencing with oncoming data center load. Everything he said was correct, but he didn’t bow to renewables mindlessly, so LOL right?

You are correct- storage is still negligible. Also is a very short term run when it does work. Doesn’t solve our need for dispatchable generation that is reliable.

Here is the grid right now here in God’s country. You’ll notice that storage isn’t even on the chart. I understand what batteries are and I understand how the grid works. In case of your comments, which demonstrate you clearly DO NOT understand how the grid works, you’ll notice Solar isn’t measurable at night on that fuel mix chart. Meaning something else has to provide that power.

 

[RDU Irish]

LOL - the GOTCHA article says storage increased 400MW in a quarter for a 240% increase - if that isn't negligible I don't know what is. Toronto says let's split the bill and throws in three cents on a $100 bar tab and scoffs indignantly when he is called out for a negligible contribution.

Energy density has advanced our civilization and these geniuses want to throw us back to the stone age.
