Don’t get too excited, it took a fucking long ass time for them to start pulling down neonazi content. For years I heard Patrick Grey (risky.biz) bitch about how Cloudflare refused to take down Nazi content they were hosting.

Half of that is just ADHD

“I’m all for people stimming in ways that make people uncomfortable”

Oh fuck entirely off. If that person really is autistic, she’s an insult to the rest of us who don’t stim by fucking throwing up Nazi salutes.

You can akshually this as a Roman salute, but it’s still a fucking fascist salute from a man with a long history of Nazi signalling.

Stop carrying water for Nazis.

Unfortunately, it completely tracks. If Dad was born in 85, has kid at 20, that kid is now 20. I’m pretty sure I have classmates whose kids are around that old now that I think about it.

The still doesn’t do the act justice. He did that repeatedly and enthusiastically. Anyone calling it anything less than a Nazi salute has an agenda that overlaps with the Nazis.

Really? Because it always has been. Or did you forget the classic quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Yes. Now they have another “one of the good ones” on their side that they can beat about. This totes proves they’re not racist /s

I find it fucking hilarious that in 2015 he was calling black artists who would perform at Trump’s first inauguration an “uncle tom”, only to become my mother’s brother Thomas.

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t have done anything. Because I did that in December and they stopped running like 2 weeks after my verification. I would have caught it on my next scheduled validation, but that doesn’t help me now 😕

And regularly check them. I just found out the hard way this last week that my backups haven’t been running for a few weeks …

You absolutely could pay for a lower rating if you chose to also pay for the equipment to step down the supply to your intake values. That what a transformer substation is for, and why the factory and residential lines can share the same upstream but get different local outputs. It’s just going to be so much more expensive that you’re never going to go that route unless you’ve got a lot of people that want to do the same.

It is more reasonable to charge you for the generation and distribution of 2A than for your 2A service to be charged the same “connection fee” as your cryptobro neighbor.

Is that not what your consumption fee is for? You’re paying for generation/distribution for the power you use, and the power company also tacks on a base fee to account for other maintenance costs that had been bundled but were being lost due to net metering.

From a collective perspective, it makes sense to pay to connect, and also pay per usage when you have the potential to have distributes generation, but centralized maintenance of the shared infrastructure.

Why is Mr. Ampandahalf paying the same connection fee as Mr. Wunetty?

… because consumption and service connectivity aren’t the same? Consumption and connectivity are two different line items on the bill representing different costs associated with the service.The high consumer will pay more on the quantity used, and possibly at a higher a per unit basis if it exceeds expected values.

From your hypothetical, no one is noted as having a different service hookup, so they’re paying for the same service hookup. What part of that are you struggling to grok?

E: removed unnecessary phrase

Goddamn I love Girl Genius, easily one of my favorite web comics of all time (and I’m sad my library doesn’t have much past “season” 1 in print).

And since they lost the battle of the 80s, 90s, and 00s against openly gay people and society is rapidly becoming more accepting of gay marriage, they had to shift their targets

And if you lived through those fights and were paying attention, you can hear the exact same arguments again, just with the details filed off.

I propose a new term: feather man. For when even a straw man looks like a steel man compared to your argument.

Why are the industrial factory and normal residences using the same electrical hookup? Seems fair if they use the same hookup.

Oh, they’re not? So then the factory likely pays one rate for their industrial connection that needs to pull more power than standard residential usage, and normal consumers pay a lower rate for their lower connection provided.

Is the person’s connection to the grid using less energy a smaller connection, or is it the same? If they’re the same, why should someone using less be charges less of a connection fee? Why would usage impact a fixed on/off fee, especially with per-unit usage rates?

Do you have any resources on that kind of setup? I appreciate that constructive advice!

Do you have any info on the custom setup? Sounds like a fun project/learning experience.

And do you mean OCI like oracle cloud?

That’s actually doable. Thanks for that friend.
