People who summarize videos in the comments shouldn't have to pay taxes. You're doing enough public service already

That really will be the perfect repost when he dies and MAGA inevitably tries to call out everyone celebrating as disrespectful

That lip bite really sells the idea that he wants to fuck those noodles

What a ridiculously ironic twist it would be if Trump ended up saving us from climate change. The man arguably most responsible for giving climate change deniers legitimacy and control, even going so far as to start multiple foreign conflicts to protect fossil fuels, ultimately succeeds only in finding the one capitalist friendly argument that could convince the world to move quickly towards renewable energy. God damn would that be one hell of a plot twist.

I'm ready and willing. It's well past time we set some shit on fire 🔥

It's not just that but that is part of it. If you've ever done electrical load calculations you will find that they can be pretty complex even with a single power source. When you start trying to do capacitance, inductance, or impedance calculations with hundreds of power sources it gets out of hand pretty quickly. That makes what used to be fairly routine design decisions much more difficult to work through.

That's not to mention the additional danger to workers who need to repair damaged transmission lines. If the electric company shuts off a certain section then it should be safe to touch a line in that area right? Not if there's active solar panels in the area.

Fair enough. I get what you're saying. I just have so little faith in the government that even pointing out obvious legal obstacles feels like a pointless endeavor.

How do you still have this kind of optimism about our government?

I don't work in car sales but I'm not sure how that's relevant. What conclusion are you trying to reach here? This conversation is about EVs being better than ICE vehicles. Those big ICE vehicles not fitting in a standard garage sounds like another point for the EVs to me. Especially since there's very little, if any, practical benefits to that additional space.

They are all SUVs with 3 rows of seats and a good sized trunk. If you want to be pedantic of course you can find differences. They aren't literally the exact same vehicle. The things you noted are not good reasons to choose an ICE vehicle over an EV though. Saying they aren't similar sizes at all is straight up ridiculous.

The same people who buy Suburbans and Escalades could buy Rivians or a Kia EV9 instead. They're similar sizes and price ranges. People are just dumb

Sounds like you might be interested in this: https://www.slate.auto/en

I don't know much about the company. I just know they're working on releasing an electric SUV/truck (it could be either depending on what you want) and it's supposedly going to be priced around $25k. They might be full of shit for all I know but that's the marketing buzz at least.

 

For the first time in two decades, Oklahoma State is in search of a new football coach.

Oklahoma State fired Mike Gundy, effective immediately, according to Robert Allen.

In his 21st season, Gundy accumulated a 170-90 record with the Cowboys. That’s the most wins in program history, and it isn’t particularly close. Pat Jones, Gundy’s coach, is second on Oklahoma State’s all-time wins list at 62-60.

Eleven of Gundy’s teams spent at least one week in the top 10 of the AP poll, climbing as high as No. 2 in the rankings in 2011. Gundy-led teams have had a pair of top 10 finishes in the AP Poll, finishing third in 2011 and seventh in 2021.

Six of Gundy’s teams finished in the top 10 nationally for scoring offense. The aforementioned 2011 team finished the season averaging 48.7 points a game, which ranked second in the nation. OSU’s 2017 squad finished second nationally in total offense, averaging 568.9 yards a game. Led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, that 2017 team finished first nationally in passing offense, averaging 389.2 pass yards a game.

OSU’s best defense under Gundy came in 2021 when coordinator Jim Knowles’ group allowed just 18.1 points and 297.9 yards a game, which ranked ninth and fifth in the country, respectively.

Gundy teams loved a big win. He had 11 wins against AP top-10 opponents, with the most recent being the Cowboys’ 27-24 win against No. 10 Oklahoma in 2023. Gundy has beaten the No. 3 team in the AP Poll twice, besting Missouri 28-23 in 2008 and Baylor 49-17 in 2013.

From 2006 to 2023, OSU teams finished with a winning record. Eight of those squads had at least 10 wins. There have only been three other teams in OSU’s history finish with double-digit wins, and Gundy was the quarterback for two of those squads.

Speaking of his playing days, Gundy still ranks fourth on OSU’s all-time passing list with 8,473 yards, and the three players ahead of Gundy (Mason Rudolph, Spencer Sanders and Brandon Weeden) were all coached by Gundy. Gundy ranks fifth on OSU’s passing touchdowns list with 57.

 

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
