Study disproves idea that weather-dependent renewable energy systems are more prone to blackouts
  • I feel like adequate energy storage would at least alleviate some of the worry on days when there is less production. There has to be days when there is too much energy produced and rather than wasting it, find some way to store it whether it's batteries or something else.

  • What are you going to do, no matter how small, to make the world a little better?
  • Real small relative to the other comments but if a loose cart is nearby in the grocery parking lot, I'll go out of my way to return it. I know I hate seeing an "empty space" and there being a cart in the way and in that case it'll likely never get moved.

  • Hey Lemmy give me an album to listen to
  • Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.

    I think Eminem's latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it's not for everyone thematically.

  • Do you workout/train/exercise? Could you share what/how your routine(and food/rest too) is like?
  • I try to train 3 days a week. Simple compound body weight movements are my personal focus. So pullups, dips, squats. Then accessories to compliment muscle groups. Bicep curls, tricep push downs and/or lateral raises, and Romanian deadlifts respectively. Lastly core is important for your overall health and stability so sneak that into your workouts.

    I priorotize walking to most places if I am able, keeps staying active easier than dedicating time to running. However, sprints are a really great athletic movement so don't be afraid to find a field and do sprints or something explosive like it.

    As for diet, there's no real counting anything for me. I typically just prioritise getting proteins on my plate then veggies and complex carbs. Try and cook your food yourself rather than eating out and you're 90% of the way to your goals! The rest is consistency and effort.

    As for local plants I'm not sure if there's anything special but growing your own food does seem to taste better in my opinion!

  • [meme] THE CHIMERA
  • Not excusing the behaviour but I'd bet it's the amount of traffic people often sit through everyday along with the overall pace of life feeling faster.

    I'm lucky to work weird hours where traffic is almost zero, but personally, sitting in hours of traffic everyday to and from work would make me want to pull my hair out.

  • Ford's CEO and CFO took a drive in a Chinese EV. What they said next reveals a lot about the state of the US auto industry.
  • "Expensive chinesium" and "cheap for a reason" doesn't add up.

    I feel like if the product was that bad or unreliable it simply wouldn't sell the way it has been.

    Sure cost plays a part but if it's cheap enough to be a buying factor, odds are it's cheap enough to buy outright or have it paid off early.

  • India considers joining Russia, China to build nuclear plant on Moon.
  • Only operate when your side of the moon is dark or even near the poles where it can be coldest? I'm not sure what the plan is for daytime operations since it apparently gets really hot.

    No atmosphere up there to insulate so the temperatures fluctuate to extremes

  • Nearly two-thirds of Canadians support tariff on Chinese-made EVs, poll finds
  • In this instance, I think people need to separate the art from the artist so to speak. The Chinese EV's are already doing well in other countries and it can't only be because they are cheaper though I'll admit that is likely a large factor. Why not buy the best product for your money?

  • Windows Security Remediation Incomplete

    Hey all, not sure if this is the right place but I figure someone here will be able to help.

    Windows Defender found something called "Trojan:Win32/Ashify.J!frn" and failed to quarantine it apparently. This was earlier today that it was detected and it affected a strange file under AppData/Roaming/T2GP Launcher/Steam/Cache/Prod/GpuCache to a text file called "index" with some weird changelogs for a gameboy advance emulator.

    No google results pointed to anything meaningful. Only a few posts suggesting the games launcher may have prompted a false positive, an old post about password protected files from 2022, and a malwarebytes warning from 2kgames spreading Red Line malware from 2022 as well.

    Just checking to see if anyone knows anything or has experienced something similar before!

    Sports Tracking Application

    Any recommendations for an sport/activity tracking app? FOSS would be super but I'm open to all suggestions! I've been walking more and wondering just how far I've been going and at what pace.

    Thanks in advance!

    Buying Music on Android

    Hey folks,

    I made the switch to Android from iOS and I am looking for an equivalent to the iTunes store for buying music! Is there a good option or am I sort of shoe horned into subscribing to a streaming service?

    Edit: Thanks for all the replies everyone!

    How do I get rid of burnt smells?

    Hey folks! Just microwaved my heat pad a little too long and the cherry pits ended up burning slightly. It was only a small portion of the bag but the smell is stuck to me and taking over the house! Any idea how to tame it?

    EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I've had the windows open already but the vinegar was just placed so we'll see. Bowl eating and bag swallowing will be my next attempt if all else fails.
