They have no artists. They buy existing copyrights and sue people, that's their business.

Texas has installed more renewables than anywhere else in the world in the past few years
[citation needed]
For Texas, I'm finding 2024 numbers from the Texas Economic Development Corp. here and it touts adding 9,700 MW of solar in 2024. Meanwhile, China installed 277,000 MW of solar in 2024. I'm not readily finding numbers for wind, but I don't really need to -- you're the one making the outlandish claim, you need to provide the data.
Yes, I'm saying if they follow the processes PROSCRIBE BY SOCIETY that they shouldn't be sent to jail.
Step 1: engage your brain
Step 2: maybe comment
Certainly they could be sent to jail in that case. Because you don't know what "proscribe" means. Here's a hint:
proscribed; proscribing
1: to publish the name of as condemned to death with the property of the condemned forfeited to the state
2: to condemn or forbid as harmful or unlawful : prohibit
Maybe you should try step 1 of your system before step 2.
Because I don't see them using SpaceX
Why wouldn't they? They already launched 72 satellites on Falcon 9 (24 * 3 launches) and have already contracted 10 more Falcon 9 launches.
Folks who wanna do that have been using gopros for years, theres maybe arguments to be made about a more exact POV vs slightly above or to the side for certain things, but theres still not a whole lot of reasons to use secret spy glasses instead of a superior but more obvious gopro besides secret spy reasons.
US has power outages regularly, and much of the developed world, such as Europe, does not
Bullshit. Europe has blackouts. For example, the 2025 Iberian Peninsula Blackout which affected 55 MILLION people and killed 8 people. Kinda puts the numbers in the summary in perspective.
they didn't have orbital technology thirty years ago
According to wiki they launched their first orbital satellite in 1970, more than 30 years ago.
/., don't use "dropped" to mean released (for example, the recent story "Android 17 Drops For Pixel Phones and Watch" while also using the same fucking word to mean "will not be carrying". If your job title is "Editor", try editing once in a while.
That parts gonna happen anyway.
Even if battery energy density started getting close to that of liquid hydrocarbons, and thats a looong way off still, youd still need more batteries than you would fuel because batteries dont get lighter as they discharge like burned fuel does, rocket equation stuff. A 747 carries ~150k kilograms of fuel, if that didnt burn off thats an extra 37k kg the first quarter of the flight, an extra 75k kg the first half of the flight and so on...
Battery planes may never make widespread sense, if we ever start generating enough carbon free energy cheaply enough and even if all ground transport goes battery electric or whatever, at some point it might still be worth it to just make carbon neutral jet fuel with air fuel synthesis. That seems closer on the horizon than the battery tech needed for large planes to be feasible, hard to beat jet turbines for that application.
A steam gift card can be laundered entirely within the steam economy tho, a dunkin gift card doesnt let you buy and resell special donut skins.
I have mine set to Australian, works for me.
Oh thats already happening. https://www.reddit.com/r/simps...
The alerts are so much worse too like "Hey, looks like you slept like shit, should probably take it easy today." thanks google but not really up to either of us. Already knew that and fitbit was a lot gentler about it...
I know everybody turns off any new features immediately upon release, but with the new(ish) agent the way some of the various bits and pieces have come together has been pretty great.
Credits are global now, so youre watching something "why does he look familiar?", you click down to the actor now it shows you their whole filmography, you can watchlist stuff right there, and even a little category 'Youve seen them in' with anything with them in any of your libraries youve watched by recent. Not just other shows if youre watching a show or only other movies if youre watching movies. And since you can just search and browse through anything/anyone now, its actually replaced IMDB for me just because its sooo much cleaner. https://watch.plex.tv/person/n... vs https://www.imdb.com/name/nm00...
And speaking of the watchlist, thats universal now, you can search and add stuff you dont have, from any service, even stuff thats not on any service, and the watchlist can interface directly with the *arrs, so youre looking up that guy from that thing, watchlist another of his movies, radarr goes and does its thing. You can add upcoming stuff too and they even have trailers now, so i dont have to go to Youtube anymore cuz it doesnt make me wade through 20 fake AI trailers before finding the one on the actual studios channel and then it doesnt autoplay some assholes reaction or breakdown of the trailer i just watched right after.
AND if your users have their watchlists public, you can monitor theirs too, so friends and family can just watchlist stuff you dont have without leaving the plex app, so you dont need to try to convince them to use a third party app like Omni to request stuff.
All the other social features still suck tho, their own lack of features makes you abuse the rating system as a filter for other things instead of as a rating system, but replacing IMDB and youtube for at least my purposes has been pretty nice. Some of my users dont have their watchlists public either so i still have a facebook group chat for requests cuz who wants to use some third party app for requests. .
$750 is ridiculous tho, i paid $100 during a 50% off sale a couple of black fridays ago, but with all my collections and playlists and everything and especially all my users switching to Jellyfin wouldnt be as simple as everyone pretends, but if in the future they roll out Plex2 to loophole my lifetime or try to charge my users individually ill figure it out.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
