HVDC is better than AC for long range.

tl;dr Ed is a talking horse. All praise Mister Ed!

Well, "turn on" seems pretty misleading. Is the system already installed and programmed? Does it only needs the flip of a switch? Is this a case of pot: kettle?

Infact, the only reason I am here is because the headline seems shady and nothing in the summary details how close from active the system was. Could you enlighten us, please?

Don't worry, the warrant is padded so hard it shouldn't give more than a hair injury.

Did he use Excel to land the aircraft?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

420 suckas is 2/3 of April.
One full April is 1/3 of a year.
Now if he's high he's light, and he prolly lit it on the way up.
So, something close to 3 petameters or 10 petafeet.

There's no "proper" English, but there are many "improper" ones. If your P becomes so misshappen that it can be seen as a D, you aren't communicating anymore.

It's the same thing for words: u, m8, w8, pwn aren't proper per se but have a clear and unambiguous mapping to the proper word. Even when using misspellings like seperate or convinsable, you are still communicating clearly enough.

It's only when you use the spelling of a different word that you screw up. Errors such as board/bored, hoard/horde, straight/strait send a sentence straight into damnyouautocorrect, if not Alice's Wonderland. You cannot "evolve" a word by having treasure and army become a single concept, unless you want to speak Smurf. And even then, they can smurf which smurf means smurf.

IOW, same as electricity, no?
The city infrastructure is owned by a carrier that only does transport. The client pays a provider, which is separate from the carrier. And every producer (Google, Disney Channel, MaBell) pays another provider to reach the carrier.

The only non-neutral thing (in spirit maybe) would be if the producer had a box at the client site and therefore paid a different price to feed its box with its products.

But what do I know.

FTFY

That too, but then what would I read before bed?

There's enough news, blogs and documentation on the internet to cover my non-fiction needs.

I would say my book reading is 100% fiction but for Guy Gavriel Kay pseudo-historical fiction or RPG splat-books that describe real locations and History such as Ars Magica.

If I'm using books, it's because I don't want to stare at a screen before bed.

if ! (doSomethingThatMightFail() &&
  doSomethingElseThatMightfail() &&
  doMoreFailingStuff() &&
  yepMoreFailingStuff()) {
    cleanupWork();
}

OR

do {
  if ! doSomethingThatMightFail() break;
  if ! doSomethingElseThatMightfail() break;
  if ! doMoreFailingStuff() break;
  if ! yepMoreFailingStuff() break;
} while (false);

Utterly tongue in cheek!
