Wow, that is technically impressive, very cool!

How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?

They will be by that point!

For sure, and that can definitely work. But, you will need three times the number of solar panels (since half the time the panels are doing nothing and if you're storing a lot of energy, that means there's a proportional amount of storage losses.)

And I honestly don't know how much mass in batteries would be needed for 15 days worth of storage, but my instincts say too much.

Keep in mind that total mass to deliver can sometimes be the biggest cost limitation. A nuclear generator that gets delivered in one launch could be cheaper than otherwise much simpler solar panels and batteries if that solution requires two or three launches.

Yes? Your point is?

Wouldn't that be nice! Yeah I think it'll totally work.

Hey, I think I see someone right now, they're switching from writing in Python to writing in assembly! "Hey buddy, don't forget to clear that register! And don't forget you'll need to write this all over from scratch to get it to work on any other platform!"

So what stops people from walking into the bathroom, lighting up, and laughing at the honest poopers now perfectly visable?

Oh good, we'll boycott food production, banking, technology, firearms and transportation.

Cool.

I'll just sit here then. Let me know when the revolution is over.

You are talking individuals and small groups. And it's great that there is at least some resistance.
But the American population seen as a whole isn't doing anything. There are no massive demonstration outside the White House, ICE isn't blocked except in a few places.

Why aren't humans as a whole doing something about this? Why won't the human race just do something!

This is kinda on you btw.

A friend of mine had a pretty shitty marriage, which ultimately led to a divorce. When he finally wanted to start dating again he figured he'd try tinder. Used the app to hook up just once, decided to start dating the woman, ended up marrying her, they're happy to this day. I think they've been together 6 years or so, maybe married for 4.

I think he had planned to use it to hook up with a lot of people, but he couldn't escape his monogamous nature. He wasn't really gonna sleep with a bunch of women and never speak to them again, I don't think he could.

Well, if you're just in it for the points, I'd recommend telling jokes, that's pretty reliable. But, just an observation here, what I'm seeing in this thread is your having real conversations. Making the kinds of comments that might just as soon get a downvote, not the witty one liners that are guaranteed karma. So I wonder if that's really why you're commenting, or if maybe there's something else you're getting out of it. Could be worth considering.

Well the sun works great for orbit around the moon, but on the surface a day/night cycle lasts a month. So that's about 15 days of night at a time.

Obviously there's no wind on the moon and burning things makes no sense. So literally the only options left are nuclear or lots and lots of batteries.

 

Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I'd hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what's another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?
