A branch of government intentionally neglects its role, and the conversation on /. is about partisan politics.

The executive branch enforces laws. Choosing to not enforce a law has the same effect as overturning a law, or legislation, the thing that belongs to the legislative branch.

Do not worry, the other team will do the same thing to a law that its base does not like.

Coal?

If by "..with mostly wasteland in the middle section.." you mean where most of your food is grown, sure.

How hard would it be to exclude Rust in a custom kernel?

Beware of free stuff from the government. That Free is never free.

EBT may be used in some restaurants. Those on public assistance may eat out.

"Officials in three San Francisco Bay area cities -- Alameda, Healdsburg and Palo Alto -- reported on social media that power shutdowns were underway that evening,"

I'm sure that the EAS did get some people to turn off a few things. The outages helped too.

Population growth = more seats in the House = more power. Team D owns the shitshow in CA, whether it be electricity or water, and yet CA is not facing additional restrictions this time around. CA did announce plans to keep the nuclear plant going, desalination, and more reservoirs. We still want more seats.

27C or 80F is fine at like 20% humidity with airflow, not so much at +50% humidity with or without airflow. On really humid nights, like with a 74F dew point you either run the AC at like 68 to dry out the air, or get used to being wet and condensation on the walls.

Unlike many other commenters, I have lived in other states for years.

$0.54 / gallon STATE tax on gasoline, and yet the roads are not great, 13.3% personal tax, while we have a deficit, and not receiving anything worth 13% of income. +$97B surplus, being used to buy votes, with the high taxes and public debt. 7.25% state sales tax, with some counties up to +9%, again, for small a return.. The weather is great, IF you can afford to live with twenty miles of the Pacific OR in the Sierra. Otherwise, you get hot dry windy Summers, cold dry windy Winters. Politicians that favor criminals over victims. Broadband is far from universal, with may rural areas still not having cable, just 3Mb/1Mb ADSL if that much. Publicly funded universities, that lack the capacity to teach all eligible CA residents, and yet have quotas for international students.

SoCal here, +25% electrical consumption due to heat waves, +50% bill due to solar related rate increases, same usage tiers as last year.

Clickbait, since the keyword in the headline is "can", as in might, could.

Metamods? HTF was this Insightful? Seriously a pile of troll shit: people are against abortion because they want children to molest? About the stupidest thing seen on /. since I've been here under one account or another , since '97.

You are the troll king

YMMV, my 8 year old MBP (I7 + 16 GB RAM, 500MB SSD) is excellent for general usage, not so good for compiling anymore, takes around an hour to update Pentoo. Desktop side of things, a spring tab on the IO plate on the desktop popped off the 6 year old desktop, into a USB port, and then the MB was dead (8-9 year ago cool hardware), time for a rebuild. Current hardware, not next gen but current common hardware (Radeon 5700x, 32 GB RAM, B550 MB, SSD) smokes the old box's performance. 1.5 hours to compile Libre Office is now under ten minutes, same SSD.

It could be cool, and work in many places, just not the mid-western US in winter or other places on the planet where clouds are common during half the year.
