How astute. You're really top of the bell curve.

Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

A lot of people don't know how industrial scale power contracts work.

Your pissant $150 light bill isn't worth wiping their corporate asses with. If you are without power for a week they don't care. You can't cancel your subscription, you just have to choke on it.

But factories? They buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of power. They use an order of magnitude more electricity than your house. In fact, during a rolling black out they could keep every home in the city powered by shutting off just one factory. The problem is corporations have contracts that actually charge the power company by the hour if they lose power. my company charges over a million dollars an hour.

So buying some mine out of his contract for a little while is not unheard of. Tesla is on that grid so I promise it cost less to shut the miner off than to drop Tesla for a day.

Her land on Maui is worth $300mil at least. She needs $10mil, sell 3% of her land. Or hell, donate it directly to the people of Maui. Given most Americans don't have $500 in savings, I'll match her .3% and donate $2.

It actually has. The U.S. produces enough food to feed the entire world three times over. It's a matter of distribution and no one is going to invest in that because it's not profitable. .

We should make owning residential, single family real estate for commercial purposes illegal. You own it, you live in it, don't live in it, don't own it. That would make gobbling up houses and renting them out unprofitable and force cities to open up multifamily development

Chemistry knowledge! Sweet tea is actually a supersaturated solution. That means there more sugar in the water than could normally be held in suspension. This is achieved by heating the water so you can dissolve more solute in and then chilling it. Remember theres at least 2 diabetes worth of sugar per glass.

I had an htc one that could transmit IR signals meaning you could mess with TVs and other simple wireless electronics. You could also use the headphone wire as an actual radio antenna.

Linus gaming got simple when steam dropped steamOS as a stand alone operating system. I went from windows 7 to steamOS. First was the steam piston, now I have a steam machine (Alienware / dell) and a steam deck. It's as easy as console gaming but with all the flexibility of PC gaming.

And before I get shit for prebuilts, sometimes you just want to play, and shit just works. Also am poor.

I would say less "left leaning" and more anti-capitalist / anti fascist. More socialism less Nazis.

The fuck spez is perfect. Also I can't even view r/place because you have to either use their app or go to new reddit.

If you Google something and the results you need is on a reddit page but you're unable to view for any reason, such as the user deleting the post or the sub going dark, there is a work around to get the info you need. Copy the link from Google and In your web browsers search bar/ URL bar type Cache: followed by the URL you copied.

This will bring up a cached copy of the reddit page. Bonus is reddit doesn't get any ad revenue for this. Google used to have an option to view cached pages in a hamburger menu next to the search result. This is doing the same thing, but Google took away the button.
