Again? They already pulled this stunt in the 2000s. I guess they’re never happy.

C’mon, IPv4 has so many problems. Sure, let’s reserve a whole /8 for a single loopback address, that’s efficient. 🙄

These are great, are they collected in one place so I can read them all?

There was previously a gap when the 2016 flag got ratty and torn, but they just replaced it with a generic Trump flag. Last time I saw it, it was still in good condition. Time will tell. Still 2 more houses with flags in the neighborhood.

One house in my neighborhood has had a Trump flag flying for years. I noticed yesterday it was gone.

Nice! Pleistocene megafauna are one of my favorite parts of prehistory.

Maybe in bolgia 10, with the falsifiers, which is part of the eighth circle. But that’s pretty far down for what is basically making a joke, so I would say limbo, the first circle, which contains the unbaptised who refused choice.

Comic-Con? There’s a Coyote v Acme panel happening right now.

Of course, we have potato and pasta salads. Those are mostly potatoes or pasta, along with other ingredients, and the mayonnaise forms the base of the dressing, which the solids are tossed in. That photo just looks straight up like the whole thing is a brick of mostly mayo.

Mayonnaise. Salad. I just…can’t.

Same same, yesterday here in San Diego. Had a great time!

 

I just got my first bill since going to a community choice power provider. Here in California, the investor owned utilities (commercial companies, not the publicly-owned utilities) act as retailers of energy. They buy power on the open market from generators, then sell it to their customers. They bill both for the cost to generate the power, and also for power delivery (which includes maintaining the grid). An option that recently became available is for a city government to join a community choice power provider, which then buys power from generators on our behalf. The utility still delivers it, so it’s not real competition, but partway there. The community choice provider then bills the utility, who passes that bill along to individual customers.

So, the generation cost went down by about 30% for power used during the day, and a few percent for power delivered at night (three different time-of-use categories). Our community choice provider has an option for 100% renewable power, which I chose, so this is a pretty tangible demonstration that renewable power really is cheaper than fossil fuels.
