  • The main reason to not farm between solar panels is irrigation and harvesting. Modem farms tend to rely on big equipment to accomplish those sorts of tasks.

    Now, with giant arrays of power production, you could theoretically make a rail system with an electric motor/s running the farm equipment up and down the rails. That would be custom equipment (Though it could be standardized). The irrigation would still be a challenge. Pivot irrigation works so well because it’s a single tube carrying all the water. That makes for much lower maintenance. I’m not sure how you could get similar maintenance with panels. The naive approach would be tubing carrying water under all the panels. That, however, would frequently clog requiring someone to constantly go around fixing nozzles and plugged pipes.





  • Best way to stop this is something like the FTC stepping in. Honestly, this is mostly likely illegal in the context of a grocery store.

    If I walk up to a shelf, grab an item advertised at $1, then when I get to the checkout stand it’s actually $2, you’ve now mislead me on the price with no ability for me to have verified the price.

    Now, without getting the law involved, one thing you can do is simply make it too expensive for these stores to switch prices. Take a picture of the price when you grab an item (annoying I know) and if you get to the exit and the price is higher, reject it and have the grocer take it back.

    If you don’t want to do this with everything, primarily target refrigerated foods which they HAVE to throw out if you give it back to them (And they have to take it back).












  • I haven’t had any opportunities to actually have a discussion about it with anyone else other than online

    Consider why you made the statement that former members distance themselves and that church members just want to be friends. You haven’t actually experienced or seen that right? So what made you assume that is what is going on?

    One of the more difficult parts about being a former member is the assumptions about why we left. Obviously, everyone is unique, but rarely have I heard an active member actually say the reasons I’ve most heard from my family and friends and online that have left.

    It would be a bit like me spouting off the lies from an evangelical anti-mormon tract as if they were fact.

    To be clear, I really do appreciate that you are being open and honest here. I’m not trying to be a dick or to deconvert you. I’m mostly just pushing for understanding of people that have different views from you. After all, to the root of this conversation and why I’m so against trump, it’s that the politics he represents is ultimately that of intolerance. The best way to fight intolerance is to foster understanding.
