That's false.

It's very true I'm afraid.

Good advice, take it.

Wind turbines which can handle these conditions exist. Texan generation companies deliberately chose not to equip their turbines that way. They were enabled to not do so by lax regulation, the same lax regulation that permits their other garbage equipment that cannot handle expected weather conditions.

Wind turbines are far too expensive, intermittent and require enormous amounts of raw materials disproportionate to the energy they provide. Stop deflecting and stop lying.

Comment Stop Lying (Score -1, Flamebait) 161

These blackouts have happened because of over-reliance on extremely intermittent 'renewables' which don't work at all in bad weather and due to the extremely stupid shut down of fossil fuel plants as well as the chronic lack of investment in nuclear power.

Stop deflecting and stop lying. If you cheerfully support this whole 'renewable' revolution own your own and admit to your own silliness, enjoy being cold and poor and enjoy much, much, much more of the same in the years to come.

It's the opinion of every strong chess player. Why are you commenting so confidently on something you know nothing about?

Opinions mean absolutely nothing. Either you have evidence of how he is getting third party information during matches on what moves to make or you don't. Have you noticed how you keep dancing around this very central point.

Despite all these allegations, I still have not seen one single *SPECIFIC* example of something that he has done that qualifies as "cheating". I find this very suspicious.

Neither have I. If people think he is getting outside assistance during a match then they're going to have to work out how that is being done. Everything here is based on people's opinions of unnatural moves they think he is making.

You're not much of a chess player, are you? Of course there are natural and unnatural moves.

Case in point. No there aren't, this is *your* opinion because some people are simply upset. Chess is a very elitist game where a lot of people get very upset when they get outthought or outcompeted.

Pattern recognition is what enables humans to spend their time and energy on a few candidate moves. It's impossible to deeply consider every possible move. Computers can and do consider every move. Sometimes it turns out that the best move is one that does not fit the learned patterns. Those moves are "unnatural" and "computerish". A player who is regularly finding the unnatural moves is almost certainly getting assistance.

Then that is going to have to be proved. The *only* way he can be cheating is if he is getting third party information during the actual match on what moves to make. Thus far no one has seen anything of the kind nor are there even any theories on how it's being done. Until there are then opinions on whether many of his moves are unnatural doesn't amount to a hill of beans. If all he is really doing is having memorised or prepared himself for particular situations and scenarios in a match with pre-prepared moves then this simply isn't cheating and many in the game are going to have to work out what he is doing and adapt.

I was a Pro Tour cyclist for a couple of years when the Discovery team (Johan Bruyneel & Lance Armstrong's team) was dominating and your reasoning here reminds me of what I was hearing then.

Where is the evidence for 'doping' in chess? This is not the analogy you are looking for.

Sorry, are you saying that Germany caused Russia to invade Ukraine? If not, what are you trying to say there? It was definitely a mistake on their part to ever trust Russia under Putin, but that's not really the same thing as causing the issue.

Look up the Minsk agreements dear. Merkel would never have allowed this stupid situation to occur or be dictated to by a US appointed coke snorting little manlet in one of the world's most corrupt countries. If you don't know what's actually happened don't comment.

What are you talking about?

All of this is pure cope. Renewable energy apart from nuclear does not work and our modern world relies on fossil fuels. The reason why people are going to freeze is because idiots cannot accept that.
