This doesn’t sound bad at all. This sounds like someone other than Google will be able to have a meaningful affect on web development.

Casting a vote is as effective at achieving political objectives as using Purell a couple times a week is at eradicating COVID.

Voting isnt pointless, it’s just not nearly enough.

Negative prices are only mentioned in passing, as a very rare phenomenon

Negative prices are occurring more and more frequently. The cause is baseload generation: it can’t be dialed back as quickly as solar increases during the day, and it can’t be ramped up as fast as solar falls off in the evening. The baseload generators have to stay on line to meet overnight demand. Because they can’t be adjusted fast enough to match the demand curve, they have to stay online during the day as well.

The immediate solution is to back down the baseload generators, and rely more on peaker plants, which can match the curve.

The longer term solution is to remove the incentives that drive overnight consumption. Stop incentivizing “off peak” consumption, and instead push large industrial consumers to daytime operation.

That’s the common thought, but it rests on the assumption that demand cannot be manipulated.

Legacy generation incentivized overnight consumption, when the grid had excess production capacity it needed to unload. With solar, we need to reverse those incentives. If it is harder to produce power overnight, we can drive large industry (like steel mills and aluminum smelters) to switch from overnight operations to daytime consumption.

Overnight storage is something we do need, but it is not efficient, and the need for it should be avoided wherever possible.

Parking garages are usually full during the day, when solar is at its highest generation. In the near future, as EV adoption rises, parking garages need charging stations at every space, sucking up every “excess” watt on the grid.

With the Trump administration arresting judges it doesn’t like, judges need to start deputizing individuals to execute orders of the court.

Mailable perishable matter may be sent at the mailer’s own risk

The regulation you cited does not strictly prohibit the mailing of “perishable items”.

ST:V taught me that they prefer to be called “Captain”, but “ma’am” is acceptable in a crunch.

MAGA is a personality cult. It will rip itself apart as soon as Trump is gone.

If Trump ever thought that Vance was a threat, he’d try to have him executed, just like he did with Pence. Convince Trump that he’s surrounded by traitors, and he’ll bring down the whole apparatus himself.

You responded to what they quoted, not why they quoted it. The quoter does not agree with the quote; they presented it as evidence of the original commentor’s malfeasance.

Your response is appropriate against the person who made the original comment, not the person who quoted it.

Start putting up billboards reminding the Secret Service how many terms a president is allowed to serve.

Billboards reminding JD Vance that he can finish out up to two years of Trump’s term and remain eligible for two terms of his own.

“Remind” Trump that everyone around him is plotting against him.

Exactly. The current GOP looks more like the Tea Party than it does the pre-tea-party GOP. They managed to effect change within the party.

When do you want to cast your vote?

We need a Guillotine Party, to do for the Democratic party what the Tea Party did for the GOP: Take it over from the inside out.

Problem Class. Guillotine Fodder.

Geneva Checklist.

There will be elections.

Whether we use touch screens or guillotines to cast our ballots is an unanswered question. But there will be elections.

Call his bluff.

Ya’ll are about the size of, and politically left of, California. 54 of 538 electoral votes. 52 of 435 members in the House of Representatives. You’d be another California.

You’re the last thing that the GOP wants involved in US politics.

If you hate Trump, you can drive a wedge between him and the GOP simply by reminding us that you have universal healthcare, and you intend to spread it.

Right, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be physically located outside of the US. There’s always risks when dealing with the resources available to state-level actors, but a VPN with a foreign endpoint and Tor over that VPN would mitigate most of the risk.

So, the other kind. Got it.
