armed robbery impossible you say? The thug with $5 wrench will have a word and some thumps...

Stablecoins can be taken by force ($5 wrench) or fraud (stablecoin theft a growing problem, look it up)

Texas has a bottom tier government.

programmers of some control systems have such concerns, such as power generation and distribution, medical, transport, military, manufacturing, and environmental hazard detection.

yet here you are on the global comm grid, but maybe running your computer on compost or pig manure methane, right?

Solar can supplement in most places in USA, not replace the grid.

Meanwhile 45% of Africans have no electricity at all. Will they get a power grid in the next half century? They mostly won't get solar either in the next 25.

lolz "rare attacks"... actually we're involved in a couple dozen proxy wars that most people could never name a third of. We're killing Venuzuelans that might or might not be cartel smugglers while war mongering.... even though Venezuela supplies less than 6 percent of narcotics to USA and the country with more and worse cartels supplying the bulk of our narcotics is our best buddy. But we press for regime change there...war for power and profit is what that's all about.

Afghanistan, yeah they did not attack us on 9/11 and so we spent 2 trillion dollars and 20 years to replace the Taliban with .... the Taliban. Then bugged out leaving billions in weapons to the enemy and getting our own and allies killed. Yay USA.

We gave our best buddy Saddam money and dual use tech to mass murder Iranians, then turned on him for power and profit. Sure he was an evil dirtbag, just like many of our other allies and value trading partners. That stupid war destabilzed the region and caused the creation of ISIL. Yay USA.

Just some examples, the epic stupidity always blowing up in our face and covering us with feces is of course a longer list.

smarter countries like S. Korea and China build nuke plants at a third of the cost we do.

Nuclear construction is not just happening in China but India, Russia, South Korea, Egypt, UK, Turkey, UAE, Bangladesh, and Japan. Again, smarter countries than the USA.

Nuclear is for base load so the turbines can go full tilt, the rest can be renewables with cheap energy storage which should be very soon.

Clearly you haven't studied the fundamentals of quantum computing which are marketing hype, hooey, pandering to venture capital investors or being researchers planning on all of the above.

You are delusional and have no understanding of even basic science or engineering. The nation needs a grid to make things and to power over half its dwellings.

Africans aren't getting the energy a modern house needs from their panels on shacks.

sounds like a cover up over a lot of sheet.

oh no, never do that. I always plead duvet myself

you're funny, USA has federal police keeping populace in line, acting against dissenters and tossing out unwanted racial groups. Invades, makes acts of war and occupies those that didn't attack it for power and profit. Keeps alternate parties off ballots. Covers for criminal operations that politicians are involved in, weaponizes government agencies against political opponents and both parties are guilty.

that's rounding to nearest dime, not nearest nickel which is not rounding to a decimal place as done in school.

I've been using a TCL NXTPAPER for reading for a couple of years, and haven't used my kindles since. The screen has no glare at all, none. It's night right now, can't tell you about reading in bright sunlight. I haven't found a phone yet which is any fun in bright sun, so this NXTPAPER is probably not great either. But none of my house lights drown it out.

I have one, #11 I believe, which I use instead of Kindles. Zero glare, zero lag while paging. Works OK for general use too, but it beats the pants off Kindles and all other tablets I've tried for readability. Had it for a couple of years now.

Copilot bogs a pc down as it spies on your work looking for opportunity to be a Clippy or Microsoft Bob.

Cool as warm ice cream.
