For many years, I avoided bothering with a home office printer. Then I bought an inkjet printer so I could at least write letters and print out the occasional thing. But I don’t use them very often and they clog. It’s hunk of junk.
I’m thinking of buying a Brother Laser printer because apparently toner doesn’t dry up like inkjet ink.
Any advice? Insight?

Leuk hoe @Tweakers het bericht deelt over dat Loops nu in de App Store is. Veel positieve reacties in de comments ook, maar ook veel argwaan bij mensen die niet snappen dat dit een open source project is en blijven hangen in "hoe verdient dit bedrijf geld?".
Het is dus geen bedrijf 🙂

New rule: If a snowstorm only gives you tiny snow grain flurries, it should not be allowed to batter your roof with high winds and whatever flying debris is making all that racket.

Wasting renewable energy comes at a high cost for the Dominican Republic
By operating thermal plants above their limits and maintaining a grid with insufficient storage capacity, the DR wastes part of its clean energy and generates multimillion-dollar losses.Global Voices
I think there is a lot of imprecise thinking around this topic.
If we build enough wind turbines to generate 100% of the input to the grid on a weekday when the intensity of wind is, say, 20% of an upper limit* then for much of the time there will be turbines whose whole output doesn't get used.
But that's how we should do it.
Building the transmission lines, levelling and storing batteries, all the other bits, will take a while. There'll be an optimal range of speeds to do it

this is the most "fuck you" i've read in a court document in a long time and i'm so glad it's aimed straight at DHS and ICE.
Good on you, Judge Birey for not mincing words.
