How can any rational person believe its "an election stunt," when they haven't even talked about it, and its a small part of the $250M deal that they haven't even talked about or touted, and MOST crucially they couldn't even tout it until AFTER the election, because it can't get passed before. You're saying they planned an election stunt for after the election. That is peak TDS.

To your point, the headline immediately below this one is "White House Earmarks New Money For AI and Quantum Computing" So, sounds to me like libs bitching about Trump not investing in science while simultaneously bitching about him investing in science. Moral of the story once again is the loony liberals are never logical, and always hypocritical.

Your saying it was "essentially the predecessor" is only proof that your evidence was conflated and invalidated your argument. For example, the word "essentially" shows that you know that would not be the consensus. Because you had to inject your opinion.

Well we know where you're getting your information from. And it's from the International Renewable Energy Agency - a bunch of tools who hire biased researchers in order to further their agenda and keep their jobs - Literally the most biased source in the world towards "renewables." They have literally zero credibility. Next time consider your source.

Voting for a ham sandwich is just plain stupid. Publicly stating that you would do so purposefully is even more stupid. Thanks for your insight. Seek help.

Your point about WP in general is valid. Your point about InfiniteWP is unsubstantiated and dangerous. Do not encourage people to use that plugin. I manage approx 100 WP sites and Iâ(TM)d never even heard of InfiniteWP before reading tfa. The reason is obviously that there are better ways to manage many sites than letting a 3rd party.

I concur, however will add that the Nest stats have their own unique power problems that we donâ(TM)t encounter with any other stats. Turns out they draw way too much current, which would be ok with just one in the house, but if you have zones (and thus require multiple thermostats) they have issues without additional power. Even in the context of brand new top end furnaces, Depending on whatever else is running on that 24v common, Iâ(TM)ve seen them fail to output sufficient voltage to energize heat when there are just 2 of them. 3 of them never works on common common. Which is fine. I can add a transformer and jump power to them, but the real bitch is when you just have 2, and they claim theyâ(TM)re working, but theyâ(TM)re not. Learned that lesson.

Thatâ(TM)s what we install for homes with any level of sophistication. And the primary reason is actually compatibility with their EIM tech (uses digital communication so only needs 2 wires, otherwise many applications require 7-8 wires to the thermostat which isnâ(TM)t present in most homes), along with their proprietary Redlink network (RF) to connect to outdoor sensors), and finally their interoperability with smart multi zone control boards. You need all of these components to set up an efficient automated AC, heat pump, auto switchover to 2nd heat source (gas), with multiple automated zone dampers. And they âoelearnâ how much it takes to satisfy each zone over time and modulate accordingly. Home builders would only use Nest if they want a pretty and âoegreenâ thing on the wall that does nothing special except for shutting off your AC when you want it most.

You lost any semblance of credibility in the argument over when you started talking about what I âoemayâ or âoemustâ do. Those words belong in an argument about censorship vs freedom. Because they are both absolutes on the spectrum of allowability as regulated by an authority. I do not recognize any authority on online speech. If you had spoken about âoeshallâ or âoeshouldâ or any likewise independently decidable condition, then we may have had a conversation. Unfortunately I must reject your premises.

Precisely - in fact, if we were to delve into the stats more, I would be willing to bet that humans with firearms âoemisfireâ FAR more often than any guided system, be it missiles or microwaves.

Ok, I may be a bit rusty on my network management standards, but why would this kind of never ending redirection ever be necessary? Specifically the bit that says it forwards the packet to all nodes itâ(TM)s connected to. In other words, wouldnâ(TM)t it make sense to forward to all OTHER nodes (all nodes except the one it was received from)? Or is this the fault of each node using broadcast notation? Thanks

I don't care what Janes book says. Assault weapon is not a real definition unless you prescribe to her language.

Assault rifle ... Is... Ok let's give you a break... Yes its 2 "real words" but together that phrase does not define any sort of firearm known to man.

If they extend their lives they can work and pay taxes for public goods like everyone else. If they extend their lives and also want social security extended accordingly or ANY government benefits, hell no.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'll speak to the legal angle and see if you can extrapolate from that. Look up the definition of theft - as in, the statutory definition in your state. In most states, theft is defined something like "taking something which doesn't belong to with the INTENTION of PERMANENTLY depriving the owner of said property." Let's see how good my memory is on this using my state... MN statute 609.52s2: "intentionally and without claim of right takes, uses, transfers, conceals or retains possession of movable property of another without the other's consent and with intent to deprive the owner permanently of possession of the property" Yea I did pretty good. Taking something temporarily is not theft because intent is key. I actually learned this when I was younger and my step dad took my shotgun claiming he was scared of my state of mind or something after a verbal dispute. I called the cops out and of course they didn't want to side with the 20 year old guy and said they wouldn't press charges because "he said he'll give it back to you when he's comfortable." Seriously. Of course I flipped and said that's ridiculous and made the cops get it from him and give it back to me within a day. But then I looked up the statute and learned that is what the statute said, and it makes sense... However I'm sure court precedents establish it must be a reasonable amount of time. The more you know.
