  • It’s pretty funny. The article says that this is where money is being spent next (it implies it’s government funded), but the author acts like that’s a bad thing.

    Unless new installations are spurred on by subsidies or power purchase agreements, oppressed profitability could eventually halt Germany’s solar expansion, Schieldrop said.

    Instead, focus is likely to move onto improvements that will make more use of the energy produced, such as investments in batteries and grid infrastructure.

    It’s wild. This guy is suggesting that they subsidize solar installation, in the exact same article where he’s saying there’s too much solar. Either the article is disingenuous or he’s an absolute idiot.











  • Here’s a bad one. After watching X-Men The Last Stand I thought it was so terrible that I wanted to know what the director (Brett Ratner) had to say about this crapsterpiece.

    Among a lot of bad scenes, one that stood out to me was at the start of an assault, Ian MacKallen as Magneto tells Pyro something like “Wait. In chess the pawns go first”. Then they send in a bunch of useless mutants who get slaughtered. It pans back to Magneto and he says “That’s why in chess the pawns go first”. I thought, does the director think the audience is full of idiots? Did he really just have this famous actor repeat the same line within 3 minutes?

    When it gets there in the director’s commentary, Ratner says something like “Yeah, we really had this academy award winning actor say the same thing twice.” He knew it was bad, and he still did it! Why? In general, I felt like his commentary was an insight into the mindset needed to make shitty movies.
