And the rest of the math:

The US currently is installing around 7GW of solar power. Per quarter.

7,000MW. Over 1,000x the entire output of all Flock camera solar panels, being added to the US every 3 months.

The government and a myriad of other entities are currently rolling out green infrastructure 4,000x as fast as flock.

How is that a technicality? It’s a boomer artist making boomer comics.

I mean, possession is 9/10 of the law. Possessing stolen goods is a crime, whether you stole them or not.

Also, solar farms ARE going up.

There’s about 1,000x as much solar capacity going up every quarter in the US as there is total solar capacity on all flock cameras combined.

She didn’t pay for it all…. Im not even sure where you got that idea from anyway. She doesn’t pay for the books at all. Her foundation covers the program overhead, but all the funding to actually pay for the books and postage is from smaller local organizations.

https://support.imaginationlibrary.com/article/245-i-was-told-my-local-imagination-library-is-closing-because-of-lack-of-funds-why-doesn-t-dolly-do-something-about-this-or-just-give-them-the-money-they-need-to-keep-this-program-going

The Imagination Library is made possible through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local communities.  While Dolly and the Dollywood Foundation cover many overhead costs and administration needs, the local programs secure the funding for the cost of books and postage.

We partner with a local organization/affiliate that covers the book and mailing cost for a specific geographic area. All other administrative expenses (overhead, selection of books, database, publisher negotiations, and fulfillment of the over 2 million books mailed monthly into 5 countries) are covered by Dolly and the Foundation. By having the overhead expenses covered, all of the money raised locally goes straight back into the community and allows more children to receive books each month.

And I never said otherwise. You just made it up to argue against for some reason.

Um. Ok?

Not sure what any of that has to do with this conversation. The whole thing was about

Ya…and you can only get snap if you work 80 hrs a week, have written consent from your boss, your past 4 bosses, the blood of a tainted saint, the pubes of a dead god, the hymen of a virgin, And 3 hearts from a slain dragon.

Which is just flat out not even true. And that was my only point. It's not 9 thousand impossible hoops to jump through.

Because she's in federal prison which has absolutely nothing to do with the Texas state prison system?

Of course she’s lying to them lmao. She’s a tweaker. Has been for 20 years. She also gets disability because her stupid ass hurt herself 15 years ago during one of her mandated community service assignments when she got arrested for possession, and that disability waives her work requirement. Even though her only actual disability is that she’s dumb as fuck.

But I’ll also give you context. I grew up in Oklahoma. Half the state is on meth. The overlap of people on SNAP in Oklahoma and people on meth is almost just a single circle.

They're about the largest ones you can buy lol. It's a super king sized that is two full sized bars in the package. Roughly 150g total, and 720kcal for the whole thing.

This particular store is also inflated. The same thing is $3.29 at the store by me.

This particular store is heavily inflated. The exact same bar at the store by me is $3.29.

It's also 6 servings worth, and the whole bar is 720kcal.

The irony about talking about not being able to read, when apparently you can't read yourself.

No, their food is actually really good lol. They have open lunch where parents can drop in and eat lunch with their kids. I've been there and eaten their lunch. It's really solid. Whenever possible, things have to be sourced locally and the menu fluctuates seasonally depending on what is available locally. The meat comes from a few different ranchers here in Colorado directly, the veggies come from local farmers, and the milk comes from one local dairy (which we also get delivered directly to our house).

And again, I live in a pretty rich district. The teachers are VERY well paid. The absolute minimum any fresh-out-of-school teacher can make is $63k. And that's with just a bachelors in your first year teaching. Most of their teachers have a masters or a masters and extra credits, have been there several years, and make closer to $100k or more. With a PhD (which several of the teachers have) they cap out at $140k. Our specific school is pretty small, and we know almost all the teachers personally because we almost all live in the same two neighborhoods. There are several married teacher couples with advanced degrees pulling in close to $300k a year combined, and the teacher parking lot has more BMWs and Mercedes than anything. They're not struggling.

And my kids consistently test several grades ahead, thank you very much.

Prices in general are nuts, but cherry picking outliers like this doesn't help.

She literally fucking has it. Like that’s not speculation.

I'm willing to bet not even a super market. Probably some overpriced gas station/quick stop kind of place. Those are the ones that tend to inflate the prices like this, catching people getting gas that want a quick snack.

It’s free in our state, so why not?

We live in a pretty rich district too, so the food is actually really good. They’ve got multiple options each day for vegetarians and gluten free, and also a salad bar.

And it’s hot food. Sure you could send a packed lunch, but they don’t allow 1000 kids to microwave their lunches. It would take too long. So if you want hot food, you go through the lunch line.

Same. It builds ansible playbooks for me pretty reliably. And saved me a fuck ton of time on the contract I’m on now converting our entire chef baseline into ansible.

Easily done, but doing it all by hand would have been a pain. Did it in a couple of days for the first draft, then manually tweaked it for the weird shit Claude hallucinated.

It would be perfectly fine. Tears are isotonic. They’re the exact salinity of the human body. It’s the same reason why if you’re in the hospital they give you saline solution for hydration instead of plain water. That saline bag is the same salinity as tears. And your blood. And the rest of the liquid in your body.

Lol tell that to my meth head mother that gets SNAP without having held a job in her life. She sells her snap for more meth.

I mean, it's a little different. In this case she is demonstrably mentally ill with postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder. Being committed is probably the best thing that can happen to her, so that hopefully she can get treatment. She literally was not sane when she did it and wasn't mentally capable of understanding her actions during it.

In the father's case, the dude was a neglectful layabout who routinely left the kids in the car so he could play fuckin video games without them annoying him. His wife had begged him repeatedly to stop leaving them in the car.
