Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if you look at it right

  • I know that solar panels have to be cleaned pretty regularly to function with high efficiency. My guess would be that the cost and labor to clean the panels would be pretty high.

    Quoting from National Geographic:

    Winds at speeds of about 100 kilometers per hour (60 miles per hour) sweep through some deserts. With little vegetation to block it, the wind can carry sand and dust across entire continents and even oceans. Windstorms in the Sahara hurl so much material into the air that African dustsometimes crosses the Atlantic Ocean. Sunsets on the Atlantic coast of the U.S. state of Florida, for example, can be tinted yellow.

    So heavy winds and lots of dust can make wind power more efficient in desert environments



  • Fucking Biden, you literally need to do one thing correct to beat Trump. Stop giving Israel aid. For some reason people are under the assumption that Trump wouldn’t be doing worse things for the people of Palestine, but at this point Biden’s on the hot seat. Stop calling Netan-baboon Bibi, cut off his aid and let the courts bring him to justice for his crimes against Palestine. An Israeli version of Hitler isn’t a better version of Hitler, just a repackaging. Not to mention that prior to all his actions recently the dude is an absolute piece of shit who has skirted justice in his own country for years by maintaining his vice grip on the Premiership (which is exactly the playbook Trump hopes to follow if re-elected)


  • Why not just have live voting? Mail in ballots are required to be sent and counted before Election Day and all the results are posted live. No counting, no electoral college. Just votes.

    Edit: I’d love some feedback to understand the negative sentiment surrounding my comment. I think the electoral college is absolute nonsense and I think we should entirely rely on the popular vote. My statement of live voting would literally just remove the counting process and make your votes instantly visible to the public, you enter a polling station that is connected via a governmental VPN and the moment you press send it’s displayed live. If you need to mail in your vote, you do it by a deadline prior to the election.







  • I’m also not an expert but my state legalized cannabis and my brothers and I were going to open a dispensary so I’ve got a bit of knowledge on that particular area.

    When it comes to cannabis retail businesses, they must remain in jurisdictions where cannabis is legal. The cannabis that a business sells must be grown, sold, used, and taxed within state lines — without using any federal land or means of commerce. This prevents cannabis businesses from using banks (which are federally regulated), deducting business expenses on their federal income taxes (which other businesses are allowed to do), and preventing farmers from using water from federally managed resources. I’m sure there’s plenty more the federal government can do to tighten its grip around the cannabis industry, but there’s a lot of activity on the federal level surrounding cannabis legalization.

    Now when it comes to a situation like we’re discussing in this thread, Florida may choose to act their own way but federal funding and other things the state enjoys could be at risk. Additionally let’s say things get violent because of DickSantis well then I will look to this US law:

    Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and its rider thr Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act
