Basically amps is capped at 5 ampere, so it's watts / 5. So for 20V you need 100 watt. USB Power Delivery specification revision 2.0 does up to 240W with 48V which is pretty awesome.

I'd love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.

That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.

Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.

Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same "browser fingerprint".

Interesting, was wondering about this. This would also "help" the websites with more ad income right?

I thought the republicans only had to threaten a filibuster but didn't actually have to do it. But democrats have to do it live?

I think by now it's mostly driven by social media which is international in algorithm, access to influence and partly in content. Or useful propaganda is repackaged by european politicians and influences. Monkey see monkey do. And we only have 3 international news agencies, so only really 3 news papers.

As always America is at forefront of the world, and where the USA leads Europe will follow! 😒

Serpentza is compelling and interesting on a cursory glance. And I don't know if he is consciously racist or how far his biases go. The bigger problem is that there are "algorithmic forces" shaping content and content creators.

The content creators wants to make money, needs to make money. They will experiment with various things. They make compelling content, don't have time to deeply study history or sociology or economics, only enough to project an image. Psychological needs from narcissism might make them unable to resist rationalizations in exchanges for clicks.

There have been quite a few cases with supposedly liberal or leftist icons suddenly turning to reactionary rhetoric. It's hard to understand and somewhat traumatizing. Recently TYT. I think the moral of the story is that much of it is subconsciously performative and not well thought out beliefs. And economic reality makes ideology a lie.

I think Serpentza fits in there somewhere, if he's not outright paid indirectly by the state department to spread propaganda.

I suspect that women have dual mode sexual selection: Either dad material then attractiveness doesn't matter as much as stable personality and material conditions, or someone with attractive exceptional genes. Meanwhile men will only judge by attractiveness but men (including the attractive ones) will still fuck anything.

Basically game theory and the structure of dating apps makes women only be able to select for the first criteria.

The USA would need a reformation and political purge after Trump to become a first world democratic country again. And put a lot of these motherfuckers into prison for life via special tribunals. Including half the supreme court lol

Trump says shit all day like a fire hose just to spread terror and keep everyone muddied. But he's old and will die sooner than later. The question is if MAGA manages to continue his style.

In case your source for that is serpentza, then you should check this reply with more links debunking this guy and his racist views.

Obviously China is not a utopia and with a billion people things will be bad at some place or another. But cherry picked examples and wild accusations like "they will dissappear" is just anti-China propaganda.
