Why are hostile states hostile? You want to turn the question of state media credibility into one about whether those states have good reason to be hostile in the first place? No, i don't really fancy changing the topic so you can wax lyrical about the evils of the west instead. Media entirely...

Yes, that tends to be about the extent of the care or thought you put into it. Which is exactly how we end up with uncritical reposting of shitstains like Mate. Do better.

Did you actually read the article you posted? Its about how grid-forming inverters allow renewables to interact with our power grids. Its exactly in line with what I've been saying.

Right, so a government agency issuing something unconstitutional is a thing. As Asita says, issuing a detainer is not unconstitutional. But keeping someone incarcerated once all legal reasons to detain them have expired would be unconstitutional. And a detainer isn't a legal reason to keep...

Actually, you sort of do. Its not magic, its just well established technology. DC is converted to AC (and vice versa as needed) all the time. This is how many, many countries have already integrated renewables into their grids. There is a small loss when you do so, but afterwards, it "meshes"...

I believe you yourself have argued that Biden did unconstitutional things.

When you make relevant criticisms, i take note. Sometimes your criticisms are vague or insubstantial, resting on nothing more than the writer saying something you disapprove of. Either way: you then proceed to rely on sources magnitudes worse. Twitter nobodies, hostile state media, or...

I explained how the DC->AC thing wasn't a big deal, relative to the rampant inefficiencies of fossil fuels. Your response had no detail or substance, so there was nothing further to 'refute'.

😂 If murder was illegal, it wouldn't exist 'cos it would be illegal! So it must be legal. QED losers.

According to some corporate shills. We spend billions subsidising fossil fuel companies, and lose over half the generated power to inherent inefficiencies. The use of such fuels then cause catastrophic damage to health and ecology, requiring us to spend billions more to mitigate the harm. It...

Right, so its the DC -> AC thing. An inverter changes DC to AC at an efficiency usually of 90-95%, though more efficient ones exist. So could lose 5-10% of generated power to this. Do you know how much energy is expended in the generation, transportation, conversion and storage of fossil...

First time i played DS1, I didn't figure out either method on my first trek through the Catacombs. What I did instead was painstakingly lure them to the edge of cliffs and kick them off (which did work, they didn't reform at the bottom of the ravine).

If you're reading exclusivity or uniqueness into these statements, frankly that's on you. Its not implied by a possessive apostrophe under any basic understanding of the English language.

That is completely ridiculous. To begin, it did not plague all nations and cultures. For that reason and many, many others, the phrase "humanity's original sin" is not appropriate. But that's almost besides the point. The idea that a possessive apostrophe indicates unique ownership is just...

?? "America's original sin" doesn't mean its uniquely American.
