There's a term in latin for this kind of legal argument:

If Ukraine had fallen, China would have pushed a blockade on Taiwan, the domestic pressure on Xi would have been insurmountable, especially after our mess in Afghanistan.
Zelensky had the clutch save, if he took that ride things would have gotten dark.
Ukraine was always the brains of the ussr, most of their best tech was designed there.
Ukraine change their name to Kyiv Oblast.
No, Li is right.
We should never support these kinds of countries, we should just let them be invaded.
Just like we should have let Germany do whatever they wanted to the Soviet Union by not supplying them with unlimited weapons, and we should have watched Imperial Japan have their fun with China.
How dare we interfere to escalate the situation!!!
They do that now.
For pge the distribution fees are 5x the actual generation fees, because while you can get power from other companies, pge owns all the lines and milks them dry.
Everything you're saying is wrong.
We only have a stable grid now because the hottest days produce the most solar to power ac. Our grid would have collapsed otherwise .
In the past we had huge demand swings during the course of a single day, as factories and offices burned power, then people went home to cook food and run their laundry.
Solar helped that greatly, coupled with fracking gas which allowed us to plant ge90 turbines everywhere for nothing and have we extremely dispatchable power for load following.
Especially since bulbs went led and now might generation is much more manageable.
But mentally defective utilities can't do the sane thing and write an API so that EV's can coordinate charging to balance load.
The problem with utilities is that they're stuffed to the gills with the idiot relatives of politicians who couldn't get jobs anywhere else.
They had money rolling in for decades, why would you need a plan?

Few vms, but tons of Lxc containers, it's like having 1 machine that runs 20 systems in parallel and really fast.
Have containers for dev, for browsing, for wine, the dream finally made manifest.
This is their best chance to escape their coming economic trap. They control so few actual resources beyond labor.
As an American I worry they might succeed, as a human, I actually hope they do, it would bring a true revolution by finally giving us cheap, safe energy, and hopefully it would scale down to let us democratize it compared to the massive capital sinks of current nuclear power.
