One of the first solar panel manufacturing factories built because of Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act is coming online. Qcells expects to produce 8.4 gigawatts of panels this year at its facility in Dalton, Georgia.

Solarcycle is also building a PV panel recycling near there that will provide raw materials to build new modules too in a few years!

Die Spahns, Söders und Merzes dieses Landes hatten sehr auf Trump gehofft, denn neben einem faschistisch redenden und handlenden US-Präsidenten hätten sie selbst weit nach rechts rücken und im Vergleich mit ihm immer noch irgendwie nach "Mitte" aussehen können. Aber dann kam Kamala. Harr!

'Scared little punk'
Phillip asked why Trump would hand Harris a win and noted that "backing out of a debate isn't a good look for any candidate," leading Coaston to agree and note she believes Trump wants the debate to feel "less certain than it already appears to be."
Coaston suggested Trump wants the limelight back on himself, likely doesn't want to debate Harris and probably doesn't want to give Harris the "respect she would deserve" by agreeing to it.

Yes, it's just meaningless political posturing for their elections in their individual districts so it's not worth us spending a second's thought upon.

So, it is important to monitor their votes on meaningful legislation, but entirely not worth worrying about what they do on message bills like that one.

Primaries are over. Now our job is to help get as many Democrats into office as possible so that even if a few are bad apples like Manchin and Sinema that we have enough real ones to make their votes unimportant.

Is there any chance the decay of the extended family can be reversed?

It seems like we went extended family 👉 nuclear family 👉 lonely atomisation

But history isn't inevitable trends. Any signs community might grow/strengthen in the future?

HobbitFoot 3 months ago • lemmy (AP)

As others have said, community isn't family.

Honestly, a lot of what kept a lot of extended families together in the past was economic necessity. People needed a group to depend on and the family unit was the initial group to do so. You'd forgive a lot of what your family members did as family cohesion was more economically important than morality.

Some people will say this is only a product of capitalism, but this is also a communist issue as well. If the economy can provide for everyone, then the economic need for the family is removed. In contrast, familial ties in capitalist structures are usually when everyone is very poor and no one has the means to sever familial ties.

Anyone who says Linux is difficult to use, annoying, or requires a lot of user time and input to work needs to watch the latest video from @snazzyq.

Just seeing the amount of pop-ups, updates, issues, and hoops you need to jump through to use a new Windows PC is insane (granted, some issues in the video are because it’s an ARM PC, but most of the annoying interactions aren’t dependent on that).

As Quinn says, it’s likely faster to install Arch than to setup a new Windows PC…
