and that the animal [dog] later attacked and killed a neighbor's chickens.

Killing the neighbour's pets is a little bit more than misbehaving. That's the sort of thing dogs get put down for.

Going on to kill the goat the same day shows that she's evil, possibly even psychopathic. And then she admits that she's not that good of a politician, as well as a bad shot.

The question hasn't been legally tested, it's no more certain now than it was before.

While it might be the case that the EU could come down on a user's main instance for not deleting everywhere, really it's no different to anywhere else - any app that uses an API or even just a simple scraper can get comments that a user posts, so as with those it could also simply fall to the user to go around each and every instance and request deletion. Arguably, the Fediverse is better than this because it does include a facility for deleting things from a host instance - the only issue is that the other instance might not necessarily follow that (as instances don't necessarily run pure lemmy code, in fact they could run anything).

Data collection is theft. Every one of us is being robbed at least $50 per year. That's how Facebook and Google are worth billions.

I hate JavaScript, along with the whole of web 2.0 and moving shit around as it loads, making the user wait to input rather than taking the input and processing as quickly as possible, and in general the whole theme of software no longer being designed for the user to use but for the publisher to extract value from the user.

They have replaced a lot of the pipes apparently, the ones remaining are the hardest and most expensive.

Or, they could do one assassination and then step down, thereby dodging any impeachment and being immune to any further litigation.

Is the President also in charge of the Secret Service?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The best one is that he argues only the senate/congress can rule he's broken the law, and only while he's president. So in his world he could assassinate someone, leave the presidency and then get away Scott free.

Yes I'm aware of water storage, and even quite fond of it, but it's very dependent on geography (as you need a very large body of water so you can't really just use a water tower) and also incredibly expensive. There are generally more effective and profitable uses for land.

Meanwhile BESS is tiny, something like 30MW per acre.

Storing energy as hydrogen is a fool's errand, in fact many of the new use cases for hydrogen are snake oil touted by people looking to sell more hydrogen. Even ignoring the fact that hydrogen leaks through and embrittles any container it's stored in (or that it explodes violently), converting hydrogen to electricity only leaves you about 70% of the energy you put in.

A Chinese ship bound for Russia damages a pipeline hmmm..

Since then, the Finnish authorities have focused on cooperating with the Chinese authorities and pursuing the management of the shipping company that owns the Chinese ship.

Well at least China itself isn't stonewalling.

They keep it in line by curtailing or switching off generation. The generator typically still gets paid as if it were generating whatever it has available, which is perhaps an issue, but the total generation is reduced to meet the demand.

This is why there is negative pricing, it's cheaper to sell electricity in the negative than to pay a generator to be offline.

They can't direct excess generation to batteries if the batteries aren't there yet. They're being installed, but the overall capacity is still relatively low. Transferring it to other grids also has limits, and in particular if there's an excess of solar in one region the neighbouring regions also probably have an excess, so there really is no other option but to curtail.

That's literally theft lol.
