People still do this?

fmstrat , to science_memes in this one goes out to the urban planning nerds

While we’re at it, cover parking lots in solar panels.

NeatNit ,

From what I’ve heard (and I DO NOT understand it, at all) this is cost prohibitive and impractical.

fmstrat ,

Not sure how this would be the case, would love to see a reference here.

VinnyDaCat , (edited )

It’s like a lot of things in life. It depends and it can be complicated.

Upfront costs for infrastructure besides the panels themselves is expensive and in places where electricity is already cheap companies won’t bother.

You also have to conduct tests to ensure that the grid and transformers can handle more power, and if they can’t then you have more infrastructure that needs upgrades.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do this. We really need to in the long run but it isn’t something we can simply snap our fingers and do instantly.

Also, a lot of the unprofitability comes from VC culture in my opinion. The individuals at the top of businesses often times won’t stick around with the business long enough to start see the savings from solar energy.

7U5K3N , to patientgamers in What have you been playing this week?

The wife and I are doing our first play through of stardew valley.

It’s a lot better than I expected

wizardbeard ,

If you’re playing on PC and end up wanting more content, I can’t reccomend the Stardew Valley Expanded modpack enough.

Adds a ton of new townsfolk, and an entire second neighboring town, all as fully fleshed out as the OG townies and all woven in with base game content to the point that they don’t stand out as mod added.

Maybe SVE on the first playthrough is a little much…

Thanks! We will finish vanilla and then look into mods. We haven’t even unlocked ginger island yet. Haha

Good to know. Next time I see a horseshoe crab I won’t just run at it screaming “Can I see your blood?!”

The crabs react better to it than most Uber drivers though.

averyminya , to asklemmy in Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

The only one is being aware of good artery health and reducing overexertion as it can significantly increase your risk of stroke, and that the Navy has phased out crunches and sit-ups due to consistent spine injury, and the Marines later followed.

I’m no military lover, but if the people trying to exercise the people to fight our wars are phasing something out for health concerns… that’s pretty significant.

whydudothatdrcrane ,

Which country is that?

averyminya ,

United States

gpstarman OP ,

I can see why Crunches affect spine…

Thank you.

averyminya ,

Totally! Exercise well :)

gpstarman OP ,

Thank you.

Unrelated Question: Why are US military called marines, but also have separate navy?

averyminya ,

If I’m not mistaken, I believe the Marine Corps is a specific department of the Navy, and are typically the first on the ground for special operations and are stationed at a lot of the U.S. embassies. The Navy as a whole is more focused on the sea and shorelines, and the Marines cover land and sea.

I don’t know much more than that, I’m not a huge military person haha

gpstarman OP ,

Thank you.

Asked this because in almost all the movies, they say “I’m ex Marine” and not Army or Airforce or something else.

averyminya ,

Definitely! Yeah the Marines are pretty hardcore, so if someone is proud of being a Marine it’s because even the basic training puts people through a really rigorous program, moreso than the Navy and some other military departments.

tiefling , to nostupidquestions in Has anyone here ever been permanently banned from reddit? If so, is there any way to get unbanned?

I was banned after RvW for saying that riot police should quit their jobs en masse. There’s no easy way to get unbanned, but consider it for the better because it’s the easiest way to disconnect from that cess pit.

TheAlbatross , to memes in Actually relatable

I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.

I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

OP and others like them are seething at the fact that disinformation is more difficult now, you used to be able to post whatever insane bullshit you wanted and people might engage with it, now you’ve got a great big old banner at the bottom of your post telling everyone exactly how much bullshit you’re spewing.

They’ve been outed, so now they’ve taken to attacking the credibility of their watchdog, because if they want people to continue to engage with their propaganda then people need a credible reason to distrust MBFC.

TheAlbatross ,

I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

OP’s account is less than 24 hours old and already contains two articles from nonreputable sources and a complaint urging people not to trust the reputability watchdog. Even if I am overreacting, that’s a bad look.

Also, nobody said it has to be state sponsored. Nongovernmental actors propagandize shit all the time. People do it all the time for free in my home country, and I guarantee you’ve experienced the negative effects of it, because this is why you hear things about American conservatives every day.

A citizen who cannot trust their news cannot act. And a citizen who cannot trust an independent fact checker cannot trust their news.

Bit dramatic but hey fair enough!

Disinformation is easier than ever on US corporate social media, because they’ve been folded into the US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex.

QuantumSpecter , to news in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

I think the bot is crap based on this: The Guardian Media Bias Fact Check Credibility: [Medium]

The guardian is one of the best newspapers on the planet and published content exposing such as the Panama Papers.

Rooki OP ,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Thats your opinion. Thats the whole reason we added the bot. To give people a second opinion, if they need to trust it or even read it. Is on your own responsibility.

Krauerking ,

People like quick answers and barely even read the articles. All you are doing is giving ammunition to those types to easily dismiss anything and drag the conversation because of a private credibility rating.

It’s a bad idea.

Talisman ,

Agreed, just came back to Lemmy and I see some wannabe Snopes spamming every post with Authority

Krauerking ,

Seriously people seem built on the idea that authority to make claims about anything confidently comes from looking at a Wikipedia article or ai breakdown for 5 seconds. It’s making me think they need to be deplatformed just like any other conspiracy theories on the right.

QuantumSpecter ,

okay, , how does website/bot reach its conclusions on Fact Check Credibility?
