"We need to make sure that we're really moving electricity in the smartest way and using the most cost-effective electricity at the right time of day. Eventually, we can get to a system where an electric company will be able to hold back some of the power so that maybe your air conditioner won't operate at its peak, you'll still be able to cool your house, but that'll be a savings to the consumer. And so [we will be] giving people and companies a role in the management of how we use electricity."
Carol Browner, Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy

I can't wait for people to start using up their quota of electricity per month, and then find out their fridge is full of spoiled food.

Im the first poster (but not the second), and I really don't want this to devolve into a tripcode argument

The bottom line is: There is no real reason in this thread for you to be using a tripcode, aside from narcissism. You can try to justify it all you want, but, we all know its because you like seeing yourself.

perhaps there isnt a point for the trip in this thread. But there is legitimate reasons for tripcodes. If you just want to pretend you know better for the sake of being pretentious by all means. But they were developed for a very worthwhile cause and thats the cause I use it for. Not to circle jerk myself contrary to what you may believe... Or did you really think you had me figured out, I guess you know an anonymous person better than he himself does.

Well played sir.

besides the tripfag thing, you also lose points for not realizing u mad is best used as a statement not a question

didnt feel like uploading a picture. And I honestly wanted to calm the kid down... seems to be a lot of exaggerated angst towards people with tripcodes for little to no reason.

it's easy if people just IGNORE them

seriously not sure why people fight and complain about tripfags, if they are being stupid, don't respond, if they make a point which you can remark on, respond as if you are responding to any other anon.

[Anonymous No.2675798]

Fuck all of you haters, tripcode users have tripcodes because many of us make important contributions to the boards and we want recognition for these well written, reasoned posts, we also want protection from impersonators ruining our good name.

A post made anonymously is almost invariably worthless while a post made by a tripcode user is almost invariably a valuable contribution to the community with something important and relevant to say.

so if a company limited the amount of electricity you could get (not by only on and off but at a specific level) what would happen if you reached the max? wouldn't everything just shut down?

note i don't know shit about how electricity works but i find this interesting

it's great fun to derail threads by denigrating people
>want[ing] recognition for these well written, reasoned posts (see: >>2675798)

because tripping needs negative reinforcement and that comes by lowering the value of threads with tripcode user participants.

I understand why you guys hate those tripcode users. They are a pretty annoying group... EK and Aether etc. But Im not trying to place myself on a pedestal. Seriously just want to remove any speculation as to who posted what. My contributions to the board are just as credible as yours, I just want to avoid this

I frequently contribute long blocks of well thought out and written text to conversations (aerospace engineering and off-planet engineering are my favorites) and I see no need to use a tripcode. I rarely see tripcode users making useful contributions and never establish a reputation for them in my head as anything but individuals desiring to build a reputation for themselves on boards where reputations are for the weak. I don't know why people do this - lack of influence in their default-reality spheres?

I clearly said I only wish to differentiate my posts to avoid confusion. I dont want to be placed on a pedestal and I dont care if you hold my contention in higher regard. We are all still anonymous.

stop implying things that have not relevance to my issue.
