    You don’t even have to exercise to lose weight. You just have to eat less food.

    People are terrible at knowing how much food they’ve eaten. Thankfully, there are easy to use calorie trackers for your phone.

    You’re fat because you eat too much.




  • The Tesla definitely has big, “Oh god, what the fuck? Why?” energy.

    I remember in the 90s, upper-middle class people would buy the most god awful stuff because it was sold to them as expensive modern art. (Think Lydia’s parents in Beetlejuice)

    The cybertruck has that same vibe. Its stupid and expensive and somehow that seems to be the appeal.


  • Oh, yeah, I looked at that. I can get a couple hundred watts of panels that will realistically generate about 300 watt hours of power on my balcony on the sunniest days, given that they won’t be mounted at a very good angle. I can have it charge a battery pack that’ll last a few years. Then I get about 90% efficiency if I’m lucky with the inverter. Even at $0.50/kWh, that’s $0.15/day I’m saving or about $50/year if we just assume a cloudless year-round summer. That’ll save me just enough money to buy a new battery when the first one gets old.

    Solar power will get there one day. Its great for many purposes but its still not practical for most apartment dwellers.
