"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

MATI got noticed by Elon Musk and now he’s being paid one million dollars per episode to perform it live on stage for the sole enjoyment of the techno god emperor himself. On his private island.

There’s ironically really bad internet on the island.

Going through old streams (all of them), I finally understand half the jokes here.
Have to highlight a particular item though that cannot remain unsaid, from the lesbian nanna segment last year it cannot be understated that Leeds is the LA of England.
London is a cancerous mass Glasgow is stabbytown and Manchester is gaaaaaay but L**ds is worse than them all, it's an old proper northern industrial city that has been completely deformed in the last few decades by an influx of all the usual suspects, no not brown people; young retards.
How did this happen? Universities, there's a half dozen or so of them which has skewed the demographics so now the city is overrun with faggoty ass hipster shit which has had a knockon effect, the culmination of which was the flying of the gypsy flag alongside the Union Flag and LGBTQIPABC+ banner, all this along with a boom in television and film production, literally LA.

when you can just use literally free and practically infinite solar energy

It's not really free when you properly account for the large upfront cost, depreciation, and so on. A normally-scaled solar array for a house generally costs tens of thousands of dollars, you only break even when accounting for what grid power would have cost after about 10 years, and then you need to replace them after about 25-30 years. Plus there are other weird issues, like how they can't easily be turned off in the event that firefighters need to hose down your home.

Of course, any technology requires you to pay for it first. Though the benefit is exactly that once you have set it up it will most likely continue running without any need for an external source of fuel (except the sun I guess). The depreciation of power output isn't too bad and they generally last over decades where modern systems also overall keep running when individual panels fail. Nothing lasts forever though, you are also right about that.

The goal is also not to be 100% self reliant all the time at the current time but most often simply to lower energy costs in the long run. The ability to generate energy at home is a very nice benefit though especially when you live in an area where there might be rolling Blackouts and/or brownouts. While this isn't the case right now in the developed world there very well might come such a time with increasing brazilifaction (also see South Africa and Eskom)

Right now there is no real alternative to solar when you want to generate at least part of your electricity at home. Remember, generators require fuel whose supply lines are very fragile to the point where random Russian refineries blowing up can lead to price increases in the US and all over the world.

That’s how I look at it. I still import electricity in the winter, because my heating is electric (and car), but in a typical year I make about as much as I use, and can often export for a higher price than I buy.
If there ever was a prolonged power outage I’d be good, and in the summer I’d have enough surplus to do hundreds of miles per week, so could still get around and do work, barter chickens, what have you.
