No worries. Still interesting!

A system of checks and money orders. And cash.
I’m pretty sure the demographic that talks about “my bitch ex-wife” is mostly in the tank for Trump already.
Ok. Have a nice day.
I have no idea what you are trying to say. Batteries have an environmental impact, but so does fracking for natural gas. You have the impact up front making a battery, but charging it with renewables does not have continued environmental impact. But if you use gas, you’re going to have to use an awful lot of it over that time period to offset the clean power you’re able to use when you have a battery. And that gas has a very high environmental impact, continually, over that entire time period.
I didn’t say batteries have NO impact, but they have less impact than continually mining and burning fossil fuels.
You make the batteries once, and the pollution due to production is spread over the 10-15 year lifetime of the battery. During that time gigawatt hours of clean power sloshes in and out of them. This in contrast to having to produce enough gas to make all of those gigawatt hours once, then throw the gas away as co2 and get more, along with the attendant pollution.
Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he can and will do whatever the fuck he wants, consequences be damned.
There are never any consequences. Until there are, his whole circus will continue and get worse.
Yes, absolutely. The Supreme Court that he appointed certainly won’t continue to give him immunity to get away with literally anything he does…
I cancelled my subscription a few weeks ago, because I got sick of paying for have them put not only their thumb, but their entire weight, on the scale to push Trump. I’m old enough to remember when they were a reputable newspaper.
To be fair, compared to Trump, nobody looks that problematic.
He can’t actually form sentences now… this will just make his aimless rambling cut off sooner. Which is still a good thing.
34% is 155% of 22%, so an even bigger increase!
They were ready for a President who had only been a failed businessman and a game show host, so probably yes?
The NSA has two jobs.
The first is to break into any computer or communications stream that they feel the need to for “national security needs”. A lot of leeway for bad behavior there, and yes, they’ve done, and almost certainly continue to do, bad things. Note that in theory that is only allowed for foreign targets, but they always seem to find ways around that.
The second, and less well known, job is to ensure that nobody but them can do that to US computers and communications streams. So if they say something will make your computer more secure, it’s probably true, with the important addition of “except from them”.
I won’t pretend I like any of this, but most people are much more likely to be targeted by scammers, bitcoin miners, and ransomware than they are by the NSA itself, so in that sense, following the NSA’s recommendation here is probably better than not.
If you can’t monopolize, the next best thing is to make sure nobody else can.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
And since no laws actually apply to the billionaire class, they have no existential fear of a Trump administration. Anti immigrant fervor? LGBTQ persecution? Oppression of women? Violent racism? “They won’t affect ME, or anybody I care about, but higher taxes and labor laws might mean I can only buy a thousand foot yacht every month, rather than the 1100 foot one I deserve.”
“The media has wildly succeeded in its effort to misinform many voters” would be more correct. This has been a relentless, deliberate strategy. If they had just been incompetent it would not be this lopsidedly wrong.
OP said “no hardware vendor”, not “ no networked hardware vendor”.
Now they’ll just change arguments - “China has reduced their emissions so much that now there’s less urgency for us to lower ours”. Heads I win, tails you lose.
