What brought the Iberian electrical grid down wasn't I2R losses but unconstrained variations in frequency. Once the Iberian and French grids got too far out of sync that connection was dropped and failures kind of cascaded from there. Or something to that effect.
Those interconnects are HVDC. There is no "sync".
Frequency change is a symptom, not a cause. The cause was a lack of control over reactive power which then caused voltage instability.

If Starlink is anything to go by (and Kuiper satellites are at similar altitudes) you’re looking at 25-50ms. My Starlink experience was over 18 months ago and there are are lot more satellites up than there were then so it might be more consistent.
Surely if the same principle applies - why would Ofcom care what a US court decides?
An interesting idea. Cross-signing sort of achieves this.
How would certificate revocation work with multiple signers? If one signer said the certificate was revoked, but the other said it wasn't, which would you trust?

Your assumption is wrong. Gender can be known and it is still fine to use "their" as a pronoun.
From A Comedy Of Errors, Shakespeare, first published in 1623 - Act 4 Scene 3:
There’s not a man I meet but doth salute me
As if I were their well-acquainted friend,
So feel free to claim that I'm encouraging "pronoun dog whistle games". I don't care. You are wrong, and your foghorn of false indignation is far louder.
English lacks a specific common-gender third-person singular pronoun and there are examples of "their", "they", "them" and "themselves" being used as singular third-person pronouns going back hundreds of years. It is certainly not incorrect.
So what exactly is the point of cutting off travel to Europe?
IMHO, it's a purely political move by the US administration. Likewise the references to the "chinese" or "foreign" virus. And how the US administration can ban flights from Schengen countries, but the UK is fine given all our government has done so far is say "old people are going to die" and "wash your hands a lot".

Nearly as much as went into writing this comment.
The ECHR is not an EU construct. It was created by the Council of Europe and Turkey is a signatory to the ECHR.
Yeah - some ATMs in the UK still don't use magstripe, although the numbers are decreasing and their usually easy to identify (the displays look like something out of War Games).
Whenever I travel to the US, one of the first things that I notice is different is the lax approach to card security. In most of Western Europe, pretty much every card transaction uses the chip. I can disable the mag-stripe on some of my cards (through the banks' online systems), and using magstripe anywhere increases the chance of a transaction being picked up by the banks' automated fraud detection systems. Then when you get to the US, you go into a restaurant, settle up by card with no signature and no pin, and then the restaurant can manipulate the transaction later to add whatever tip you wrote on the bill. Madness!
Also free G-suite T&C's are different from paid/enterprise
In order to dial out, it is necessary to broaden one's dimension.
