Unfortunately, we do have to. I have to this morning.

I am curious what replaces top notch journalism these days.
This is a story about AP. They haven't been top notch in years, if ever. Their stories are purely surface-level. They're an important part of the picture, but certainly not top notch.
let's just say that there were gender politics involved
Why would 'gender politics' mean you have to answer your phone and address urgent work problems while on a 2-day vacation?
Why glass? Plastic would work just as well.
No, it wouldn't, and that's why. We started using glass on phones for a reason, and that reason is that it works better.
Surely she's overjoyed by a line of nonfunctional pixels and your objection is logical.
No, wait, scratch that. That's all 100% wrong, and you're going nutso.
Send in the Marines or shut the fuck up.
Are you sure that's what you want? It's become clear that they will in fact send the Marines.
America is the worlds army. But not the worlds judiciary. Send in the Marines or shut the fuck up.
Can we have a vote on this?
China is headed that way with their renewables. Ireland is planning for renewable hydrogen production as well.
I think it will probably only end up with relatively niche uses, but it's a useful option.
Cryogenic has bee used for the ground tests, so presumably it was here too.
1. Absolutely none of what you've said invalidates either my point that adding pumped hydro alone cuts costs by hundreds of billions for an energy system, nor my broader point that it's stupid to talk about the costs of energy systems by looking at the costs of running one of solar and Li alone
2. None of what you've said is a reason not to do pumped hydro. Pumped hydro can store GWh easily, plants last 50 to 100+ years, and cost per kWh is very low despite refurb costs etc. Should it be done thoughtfully? Obviously. Can it be done everywhere? Obviously not. But once again, adding pumped hydro alongside Li BESS drops energy system costs by hundreds of billions, showing that any analysis of an energy system that says "look how much it costs if we run an energy system using solar and Li BESS alone!" is idiocy.
Here's a big list of diversity hires. https://www.whitehouse.gov/adm...
Most are grossly unqualified.
You sound American.
Gas prices are up globally because orange jesus made the middle east situation that much worse. It's also laughable how suddenly they care very much about the plight of the Iranian people while simultaneously cheering at masked men snatching people from the streets and transporting them to concentration camps.
I double checked your figures and you are correct. You know what's also funny? $5.25 trilion was collected in 2025.
In 2024 $4.92 trillion was collected.
How do you feel about you tax increase courtesy of Trump?
It runs MacOS and it's pretty fast, unlike any netbook ever.
Yeah it's got gimped specs but they will be fine for most users, unlike netbooks.

You don't actually care
So fuck off
