It’s pretty heavily socially stigmatized, however. If anyone knew you were pregnant and then suddenly you aren’t and there’s no baby, questions get asked and judgement and rumors spread like wildfire, especially in smaller towns.

My parents used to say “I can’t wait until you have one just like you. Then you’ll understand how difficult you are to live with.”

So I got sterilized.

And they were surprised for some reason.

Legally they had to allow it anyway, or simply not hire him. I’ve worked with plenty of people with service animals, it’s just not a big deal if they have proper paperwork.

You’ve missed out on “great” stuff like the time every semi-pro player on the ice threw gloves down and started brawling before the first puck drop of the game, due to an old rivalry that likely had nothing to do with any of the players on the teams.

The penalty boxes didn’t even have standing room. Glorious because of how silly it was.

I’d be fine with fighting dying off, as I’m sure it makes some kids not want to play who otherwise would, but at least a lot of the pro stuff does stop the fights these days, so we are getting there…

The only windows pc I still have is my laptop, which has touchscreen and fingerprint scanner. I’m sure both of those things can be worked around (most distros seem capable of touch support at any rate) but I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing trying to make that happen so it stays for now. I use it for one and only one task, so it’s not the absolute worst but I’d like to be rid of it anyway because omfg why does it need updates every single time I go to use it??

My other three computers are on Ubuntu (gasp the horrors!) It’s what I started with back in 2018, and Debian is the only base I actually know any commands for even if it isn’t very many. Plus it’s stable and does what I want out of the box. Except it didn’t register the finger print scanner when I tried. Maybe it would with a bunch of tweaking, idk.

This is why I don’t use them.

The paint in my living room looks diarrhea brown and corpse gray under warm light. It’s purple and blue, and there are a lot of windows so I can’t plan for warm light as a default like I can in bedrooms. Daylight bulbs keep the color what it should be.

Of course not. A 1099 implies he actually paid you for your work.

Another 20-60 minutes pass

My energy level has cratered into an uncomfortable jitter of cosmic impotence and my stomach hurts like it has never contained matter, but the thought of filling it with something other than more coffee makes me violently ill.

And the worst part is the cheap 100% silicone caulk that is useful for 10 billion different things is no longer cheap! Used to be about $1-3/tube and now it’s $6-14/tube.

I used that stuff for everything, especially as an adhesive. Not anymore 😭

Forbidden apple crumble.

Looks like the middle grape person is on the attack.

No krout or kimchi???

My brain doesn’t work today because I forgot to remove the tag from my new shirt.

It’s one of the few foods I can fully indulge. I want to eat two thousand of everything.

No, a lot of the places where old solar panels would be useful can’t feed the grid even if they want to because the grid doesn’t reach them. It isn’t worth the cost to utility companies to expand for such low density, so that has to be paid by the property owner. It would in fact cost several thousand to have electric run out to some of those places. I’ve priced it out for various properties I’ve looked at and frankly staying off grid is substantially cheaper in a lot of places. Even If there’s already a grid connection but you don’t want to spend a small fortune to run electric half a mile to where you need it, an off grid solar system is perfect. Not everything has to be in service of everyone for it to be a good option.

Opportunity cost for installing old panels? Such as? If you are suggesting the land itself is more valuable without solar on it, that tells me you don’t know much about rural land use or farming properties. I grew up rural on a bit of land, and we had lots of places that would have been great for solar panels because they weren’t much good for anything else. Rocky, seasonally flooded, pasture space stuff like that. Additionally, if you install solar panels ~6 ft off the ground and well spaced, they can be used over things like garden beds, and actually increase productivity by providing relief from the sun. Or if you mean it still costs to obtain and install, that depends heavily on who puts it up, where it came from, and who they know. Lots of people with land are quite capable of installing a solar array, even if they don’t do the wiring themselves, and they usually know someone who’s willing to help with the electrical work.

Limiting power output cause more fossils to be burned…? What are you even on about? Nobody said use old panels instead of new ones for absolutely everything, yet your argument is based on that, best I can tell, pretty much entirely.

You act like nobody can possibly have their own land and a use case for long-term low-power-draw use. That’s why it’s ridiculous.

Using something that still works as long as it doesn’t produce emissions…. Is actually the single best way to curb impact, yeah.

Like literally the best use is long-term. If it still works and you can eek some power out of it rather than toss it, there’s no harm doing so.

Assuming you can recycle it now, you can also recycle it down the line when it genuinely isn’t worth keeping anymore. Until then, if you’ve got space, might as well. Because recycling isn’t free, in energy, emissions, or labor.

preserving lives and quality of life.

ROFL what? Continuing to use old panels in addition to new ones harms lives and quality of life? Ridiculous.

That’s genuinely the perfect lighting to travel in any form. It dulls the streetlights, it muffles sound, and you can feel really alone. At peace in your envelope of existence.
