Nah, AWS provides logistics to military and intelligence and has for quite a while.

It's tough to argue, "these aren't military targets, we just rent the equipment and provide services to the military for hundreds of billions of dollars."

Which is probably what people will argue.

Do they only have to state a reason or does somebody have to adjudicate whether that reason is validly "justified"? We have a Public Utilities Commission here that pretends to do such things.

Or is this one of these, "you can't know, so try it and a judge will tell you what the law was" sort of things?

Maybe somebody who understands Italian jurisprudence can clarify their theory of law.

Agreed.

Also Major Tom shouldn't try to fix anything on a spacecraft if it's somebody else's job.

I don't want to say I heard Mission Control on NASA TV reading down a procedure to tell an ISS commander how to tie his shoes but it felt like that.

Velcro, I guess.

Most helpful comment of the week.

Much kudos.

Yes, and they didn't notice that the lab tests were all done with plastic gloves.

I don't know, I went back to CPAN after I came to understand the socioeconomic and cultural ramifications of mandatory white space.

Papers, please?

"They yearn for the greenscreens."

I believe "Y'all aren't ready for that" was her response when asked if she would run for president.

They make household filters specifically designed for microplastics now. I don't know how well they actually work.

Sure, but can you go "Berlin to Warsaw in one tank" using renewables?

TDS stands for "Tiny Dick Syndrome"... right?

Obviously, to go to 100% renewables we need a grid upgrade and far more energy storage. Sodium batteries look promising for that, but they need to ramp up production enough to drive the per-unit cost down.

I wonder if anybody regrets buying those big diesel bubba trucks to coal roll the Teslas with now...

Trump wants all the wind turbines and solar panels torn down, so we can use more "beautiful clean coal"!

People used to complain that my Setter was too skinny, even though she had unlimited kibble supply from a 2 gallon dispenser. I figured out years later when I found one of her teeth on the floor that she had abscesses on her teeth, which likely made it hurt to eat kibble. But she never complained about it, so I never knew. Turns out I should have been spending the money for wet food. I miss that dog, she only lived for 12 years.

I'll stick to the GLP-1, thank you very much. I started taking it for Type 2 Diabetes and lost a lot more weight than i wanted to.
