happy birthday lobster and it is a satire in my experience!

I spammed the predictive text button. It sounds just like me! AI really is the future.

We already live in the cars universe. That's the satire. A fictional world built exclusively for cars looks the same.

That would require rewriting the miis from scratch. When they were first created miis had binary genders, and that assumption was baked in from the start. Changing it now would be expensive so they do this sort of half measure.

A lot of games tried to retrofit gender diversity into already existing character systems and it doesn't work well. For example, cyberpunk's V can have any genitals or body shape you want, but the game was written from the start with an assumed strict gender binary. Your character's gender is whichever voice you pick.

Hopefully in the future these character systems will be built with that sort of flexibility. But its quite common to have strange results from retrofits like the miis.

To get an injunction blocking a law in advance of the full case, the moving party must demonstrate both irreparable harm, and a likelihood to succeed on the merits of the case.

If you read about federal court cases in 2025 you'll hear the word "likely" a lot. That is a sign the court is deciding whether to block an action at the beginning of a case. The courts can only act quickly with a lower standard of proof. "Likelihood to succeed on the merits," is that lower, expedited standard.

I see this posted a lot as if this is an issue with capitalism. No, this is what happens when you have to deal with maintaining the power grid using capitalism as a tool.

Power generation needs to match consumption. Always constantly the power grid must be balanced. If you consume more than you can generate, you get a blackout. If you generate more than you use, something catches fire.

Renewables generate power on their own schedule. This is a problem that can be solved with storage. But storage is expensive and takes time to construct.

Negative prices are done to try and balance the load. Its not a problem, its an opportunity. If you want to do something that needs a lot of power, you can make money by consuming energy when more consumption is needed. And if you buy a utility scale battery, you can make money when both charging and discharging it if you schedule it right.

That's not renewables being a problem, that's just what happens when the engineering realities of the power grid come into contact with the economic system that is prevalent for now.
