RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Oh.
I think you're reading intent into this that isn't there. We're just saying "you should have been listening to us because we have a better understanding of the big picture here and look, an entirely predictable thing happened."
Little more than a bit of righteous gloating in my view.
And don't get me wrong, I can see how you're not exactly doing that in your original reply but like... it's close enough to be problematic in my eyes.
Sorry in advance if this third reply ends up putting this in front of people.
Like, I don't want to sound impolite, but the thing is I keep on having to explain over and over again that "the problem with oil is that it's disposable and the minerals which make solar panels and batteries stick around to be recycled" and I feel like equivocating the technologies is dishonest.
Hey, you sound like you want to have an argument rather than actually discuss things so I'm just gonna not.
The script is nearly done, I'm hoping to have the video finished by the end of next week
But, get this, we don't have to set those minerals on fire when we use them. So once we've built the capacity we need, we can stop looking for those minerals.
And there are plenty of them to be found here, too. We're just not looking very hard atm because capitalism.
That's outside my wheelhouse and nothing I'm getting into in the video but my understanding is yes they're not really made with petroleum at all.
The best/worst part is the video I'm working on now is a basic overview of internal combustion engines and their lubrication system.
So I'll be talking about oil a lot.
That'll be fun.
Whoever is selling you this idea that China is the only country capable of producing renewable energy technology and that we can't do it here is a propagandist and you need to stop listening to them.
China does not actually have a lock on the ability to manufacture solar panels and batteries, but we've convinced ourselves they must because they're the only ones actually doing it.
Please take that to heart because it's true.
it's ALMOST like maybe there are good reasons to be encouraging electrification or something!
and maybe there are many of those reasons!
I didn't think when I wrote
"Additionally, because oil deposits inevitably run dry, we often rely on extraction efforts happening in other countries which may or may not be friendly.... and [its] cost can change quite dramatically based on supply and demand"
it would be so prescient but, well...
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

I don't know offhand but I know it can be found out with the power of the internet.
Like, this has absolutely nothing to do with feeling free to share one's opinion or whatever, it's about having the tiny bit of self-awareness which will stop you from commenting on a well-respected pianist's social media post telling him he's pianoing wrong.
Just looking out for others!
Because you can embarrass yourself sometimes if you don't! Often quite badly!
That's genuinely quite surprising to me! My dryer is the best I've ever had for sensing dryness, in fact it has zero trouble with a mixed load where there's like four pairs of jeans in there.
There's surely some difference because it's a gas dryer but its sensing scheme seems perfect 🤷
However the mechanism of the direct drive drum is so simple that barring an inverter board issue (the thing which drives the motor) the only problems I expect to deal with will be minor things like a drain pump or door latch.
Oh and to keep a front-loader from getting stinky leave the door ajar.
But. In general, my advice to shoppers in the US is to look for Whirpool brands because their aftermarket parts supports is MUCH better than the Korean brands. If you want to get your appliances repaired in the future, you'll have much better luck with them than LG or Samsung...
Which is the main reason I like front-loaders now. Tumbling seems to be just as effective as an agitator for cleaning, even without the clothes being truly submerged in water, and the spin cycle of a front-loader is so much faster that the clothes barely need any time in the dryer....
...that occasionally it decides to take *forever* depending on the load size and features you select. Typical cycle time is an hour-ish but if it's a big load and I select "heavy" on the soil level, it has taken over two hours and once pushed three.
But it spins this crap out of stuff!
...
I have a relatively basic LG model and I'm very happy with it. It's much quieter than any washer I've used in the past (except when filling! it's really loud when filling but I have very high water pressure so... possibly not its problem) and it cleans well.
My only gripes with it are...
Well I can give you my own personal take: it probably doesn't matter all that much what you buy for cleaning performance. But having lived with both older top-loaders (and briefly a new agitator-less model) and a new front-loader I think I strongly prefer front-loaders:
(thread incoming)
Fair point!
if you haven't head the words "speed queen" before consider yourself lucky.
And front loader vs. top loader discourse is very old and very intense. AND it tends to attract the "gummit's makin' them warshing machines use too little water to clean" crowd.
To actually disambiguate the technology behind E-Ink from other forms of e-paper, it would have to be called an electrophoretic display. But nobody knows what that means.
I like your line of thinking, but that's not correct actually. "e-paper" the generic term gets used for a lot of different display technologies such as the low-power LCD on the Pebble watch I'm wearing right now.
But that's not related at all to how E-Ink works.
Perhaps one day, but discourse around washing machines is very thorny and that's the main reason I've been avoiding it.
