I had my irl friends on MSN, Americans on AOL, a few people on ICQ, and sometimes I'd even use the IRC plugin although I would usually use a different client for that. forgot all about this, used to be my main client for a long time back maybe around the late 00s or so, I wanna say. hell, I forgot that I used aim up until as late as maybe 2008 or so?

I have tried to stay so positive since starting my FTHB journey in this market. But after bidding on my 4th house in 8 months at 8% over list price with escalation up to 13.5% over list price and still out bid, I just don’t think I can put any more energy into this right now. I went into March with a positive attitude that this year will be better but I’m just not seeing it. Homes are being listed but they are out of my budget. When I look at price history, I can see that the homes sold 1-3 years ago in my price range but now listed at such an inflated price that I can’t afford. It just kills my spirit a little every time I see that I could have afforded the home just two years ago for what the seller paid. If you can’t afford to buy in the big city, just move back to your hometown, so simple

What’s propping up Canadian society is the feeling that the French, Indians and Immigrants are poorer, but that may not hold.

Nuclear is much better, more reliable, and safer than fossil fuel plants. Fossil releases more radiation into the atmosphere too lol. Nuclear baseload + solar/wind/hydro/distributed for peaking and reliability is the way forward.

The sun blasts unimaginable quantities of energy into space each instant, and virtually every joule of it is wasted entirely. Incomprehensible riches can be ours if we can but stretch our arms wide enough to dip from this eternal river of wealth.

Shear Modulus posted:america is thinking about maybe possibly making the permitting process for nuclear reactors slightly faster while china is building like a hundred a year Germany isn't. They're cooked. They went from like 30 reactors down to like 3, and plan to shut down the last 3 but the U/R war caused them to postpone (but still plan) to get rid of their last 3. Japan maybe? I'll believe it when I see it. France is the only EU with any serious nuclear anymore.

US baseload electricity consumption has been fairly stagnant for the past 5-10 years with only a gradual upward trend. The loss of American manufacturing and stronger efficiency standards have held things in check. That's going to change significantly between 2025 and 2030 based on the federal and regional studies I have access to, primarily due to a huge explosion in data centers and bitcoin miners. America is piling on the gigawatts right now, and for very little public good. It's very grim both economically and ecologically. Solar and wind are catching on steadily but it's mostly gas turbines picking up the slack as coal falls off and nuclear flounders.

America is piling on the gigawatts right now, and for very little public good. It's very grim both economically and ecologically. Solar is still a slow build-out and also constantly gets tied up in lawsuits. see also like those midwest farmers trying to put solar panels on their fields and getting shut down after like a 8 year battle. it's the most reliable and promising but also doesnt help the libs basically put big tariffs on solar panels from china. PG&E ratfuckedd solar in california this year too, basically killing any commercial solar dead in the tracks. it's donezo here. we're going to finish up whatever was permitted in NEMA 2 and that's it. no one is building solar under NEMA 3 the big issue with wind is that as they try to go bigger MW turbines, they're much more prone to failing and doing badly. gamesa has like serial drivetrain failures and doa with over 30% failure rates, and siemens is doing badly with high energy costs. vesta is basically dead, ge wind is sucking poo poo and bankrupt after being split off, as is enercon. we're building these and they're all just dying in like 5 years and warranties aren't being honored or non-existant. that's loving bad.
