If she died while burning fossil fuels and the fossil fuels killed her isn't that like suicide?

Knowing it is warming does not in itself represent a sufficient level of predictive ability with which to profit.

Any kind of grid needs stability. You can't just hook a bunch of small independent generators together and expect it to just work.

If you could predict climate with any sort of accuracy and granularity you could become very, very rich. Hell, accurately predicting the start and end of a single drought could set you up for life.

But they can't, so they aren't.

Flywheels (and synchronous condensers, basically spinning generators that don't actually generate, and are often old fossil plants) are both forms of artificial inertia used to control the AC waveform. You can use smart inverters (which are not capable of black start but are getting better), or you can use traditional spinning inertia, but the nature of AC grids is you need one or the other. If you allow dumb inverters you MUST have enough inertia elsewhere in the system to support them. There are no grids outside of experimental microgrids where inverters control everything. Spinning inertia is still very much how modern AC electrical grids work, and will be for the foreseeable future.

OK. I don't disagree, but I don't see much point in arguing AC vs DC in a Tesla vs Edison sense. We have the grids we have and won't be green fielding anything new anytime soon. I think we agree dumb inverters are a problem. That seems to be the unsurprising takeaway here.

DC transmission provides no inertia either though, you still have to add it back at the converter station. We use synchronous condensers for that purpose with our DC transmission from northern hydro dams.

Er, three e's. LOL.

Defecate has two e's.

Like Google, Microsoft, Meta et al, nothing about Apple is a net Good Thing. That you think they are somehow different is fanboi-ism, not rational thought.

Compounding pharmacies can make semaglutide, so I don't think it requires highly specialized manufacture. I'm surprised there is not actually a significant black market for it already, I guess the financial incentive is not enough without the addictive properties. Also meth and fentanyl will already make you skinny.

Fair enough. It meets the minimum definition to be considered UNIX(TM), while still not being very "UNIX-y (not-TM)" Sort of like the letter of the law rather than the spirit.

Sure, according to that Systemd is just as UNIX-y as SysV or BSD init. I'm not sure SUS is a still a relevant definition, probably why few vendors bother anymore.

*BSD is UNIX. MacOS and Linux are UNIX-y.

Another convenient reason to search everyone though. Just add it to the long list.
