He has said, although i can't recall where, that "far beyond the sun" is his favorite piece to play
So what's the answer to smoothing out supply and demand peaks here? More and better batteries? Wind, hydro, etc? All the above?
I think he's pretty well analyzed it. Personally, I've had to drive a car full of toddlers with no heat in winter because my touch screen gave out and it was unsafe both to pull over and to try and troubleshoot while…
There is a scifi novel from the 80s or 90s employing a ~somewhat~ similar plot device for a human, although the name now escapes me. Ring a bell with anyone?
With no evidence to offer I strongly suspect this is the biggest piece of it >And, of course, educated women become able to sell services/goods that allow them to be financially independent, so as to not be coercible.
Thank God no Russians have died in this "proxy war" they were so unable to avoid

Would it be too invasive to ask the country you moved to, from someone with some similar history?
Dallas Buyers' Club was a thing because of governmental/societal prejudice against HIV/AIDS victims which itself stemmed from Christian bigotry towards gay people
That's The Band, not CCR, if I recall correctly. Great song
>I suspect one of the reasons "stolen election" conspiracy theories are so popular right now is that the alternative is one must simply be skeptical of the good judgment of one's neighbors, and people don't want to live…
Libertarian tech bros don't like progressive politics as a general rule
215 (96.4%) of 223 Republican Representatives voted for the resolution. 82 (39.2%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted for the resolution. 6 (<2.7%) of 223 Republican Representatives voted against the resolution:…
Personally, I might be biased by my personal friendship with Kosovar Muslims, but I view the NATO interventions in Kosovo as a pretty unambiguously good thing. No idea whether this sentiment will be popular here. They…
Epic expanded into the Nordics and their providers found it disastrous on the whole, mostly because it's designed for the US healthcare system and therefore cares almost exclusively about billing, which is completely…
I'm fond of W59.22XA, "struck by turtle - initial encounter" aka the Aeschylus ICD code
The first point he raises is the most critical by far. The silverbacks of the industry deliberately stymie efforts for true interoperability because it goes directly against their primary goal, which is forcing everyone…
My family member worked as a petroleum geologist for Exxon-Mobil for many years, and he is fond of talking about how the climate has changed dramatically throughout the earth's history as a sort of defense against any…
It's funny, whataboutism was always touted as the preferred tactic of Russian trolls, but I never had the chance to actually see them deploy it on a relevant topic. Now that there is one, my God, they're shameless,…
The user in question spends an awful lot of time arguing that the West/Ukraine/NATO/insert current scapegoat of Russian propaganda is the reason why dear sweet Russia just had no choice but to invade.
That's the beauty of it. When winter rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
Absolutely, feel free to peruse my comment history for examples right here on this site.
It's also a wasted opportunity just from a competitive standpoint. Brain draining the shit out of Russia is a totally valid strategy that boosts the host nation while hindering Russia.
Anyone who has worked in public leadership will recognize that Zelensky has been putting on a diplomacy/PR/propaganda masterclass. His decisions and actions will be studied for a long time to come as an example of how…
Thank you very much for the perspective, I think people all around the world are shocked at his brazenness and even people who were "right" about his plans are horrified to be so.
