What?

Charging batteries and actively pushing power back onto the grid to correct power factor and maintain grid voltage and frequency are two complete different things.

I'm a big fan of using these battery farms to stabilize the grid (voltage and frequency correction, power factor correction). One of the few things that I think that they do well. I would have been much more excited to see, "Company using recycle EV batteries for cheap grid stabilization".

Again, I just read the linked proposed law. I can get a nice piece of walnut, and make my own grips. Is printing grips illegal? Right now, you can buy a new trigger online, or you can print one. How about sights? Most modern sights are polymer. You can buy replacement parts legally, or you can print your own.

You can buy a barrel. I have gunsmith friends that make their own slides (on a CNC machine). Is that now illegal?

Go and read the bill. Tell me exactly which parts are illegal to make. Specifically.

If I want to go and make my own trigger, that is perfectly legal. My own sights, grips.... You name it.

These people understand that it is perfectly legal to buy a barrel, trigger pack, slide, spring kit.... Right?

Is it now illegal to make my own grips out of a nice piece of walnut? Which parts - specifically - are you allowed to buy through the mail, but not make at home?

Just try and decide if a virus is alive or not.

If US home power consumption keeps dropping....

It used to be that a house was either 12 or 15 kWatts. Then it dropped to 5 then 4 kW. Now, 500,000,000 Watts can power 360,00 homes - less than 1400 watts per house.

Speleothem isotopes, primarily of oxygen (\({}^{18}O\)) and carbon (\({}^{13}C\)), are used as paleoclimatological proxies to reconstruct past climate conditions above and within caves.

I find it very hard to believe that this can be used in any way other than to get rough estimates. But, this is "climate science", and in climate science there are no error bars.

Wow. Isn't it remarkable how they know they temperature to half of a degree over 2000 years ago.

they mean that it is smaller... my bad.

In 30 years? Doesn't that mean that there were 25 years when the hole was smaller? I'm sure that this is clearly explained in the article.

What does "net-zero" mean? What does "carbon neutral" mean? Humanity will always produce large amounts of CO2 making concrete and through agriculture (and other sources). To get to "net-zero" doesn't that mean that industrial scale CO2 removal needs to begin immediately?

was going to have 5 Thorium reactors on line this year.... Guess that didn't work out so well.

And the climate change shithead that thinks that we know what the average temperature of the planet was to a tenth of a degree in 1890 isn't going to listen anyway.

Keep in mind that my Ali Express packages came by the US Post Office. They have no capability to collect tariffs, so will no longer be doing international shipments.

See:

Also, keep in mind that it isn't just the tariffs. The cost and contents of the package have to be declared. Someone has to do that paperwork. It won't be just the 15% tariff that you have to pay. There are other costs.

Clearly you didn't read it. They explain away why they have been wrong for twenty years, didn't know what was happening and misrepresented it. Then they state that they have "a very solid understanding" of what's happening. Clearly they didn't. Then why were your predictions so wrong? Why should you have any credibility at all?
