America's First Grid-Scale Sodium-Ion Battery Plant Gets Its First Big Test
Guessing... Click; amber light; hum, fan whir, beeping; click; green lights?
(At least that's how my APC SUA750XL does it.)

there will then be a good chance of finding some crooks.
Nah, they'd probably just bump into Trump and say, "Excuse - I mean pardon - me."
how, exactly, is spending over a billion dollars to halt a renewable energy project
Maybe it's to Make Germany Great Again?
I'm sure that would track with this administration (*cough* Stephen Miller *cough*) and its supporters...
This has nothing to do with rationality.
Wind turbines have long been a hate object for Trump.
He has claimed that they cause cancer and that they ruin the environment, etc.
And they obscure the ocean view from his beach-front golf course in Scotland.
(He lost the legal battle to have hem stopped/removed.)
How Trump's loathing for wind turbines started with a Scottish court battle
I'm not keen on tying ourselves with Florida in any way.
(I say this after having spent my freshman year at USF in Tampa way back.)
Aren't most of the stories written around these three rules about ambiguities and loopholes, how they're incomplete, misinterpreted, misapplied and how things otherwise go wrong - for us humans? An AI determining that humans must be perpetually babysat to prevent them from injuring themselves or others is a common storyline.
Almost every story in his robot series is about the ways the Three Laws fail — the edge cases, the interpretations, the unintended consequences of simple rules applied to a complex world. The Laws were a starting point, and his fiction was a decades-long exploration of why starting points are never enough.
I love how you gave zero fucks about birds being killed
Cats followed by glass buildings kill orders of magnitude more birds than wind turbines, which are about 9th on the list.
No, President Trump: Wind turbines aren't killing 'all the birds.' Cats are.
Wind Turbines & Birds: Myths & Facts Uncovered
Cats, cars, buildings and vehicles kill about 6,000 times more birds than wind turbines do. The biggest killer of birds in the U.S. by a long shot is domestic cats. After cats, building collisions due to glass (599 million bird deaths annually, on average) and vehicle collisions (214.5 million annually) pose the second and third biggest threats to birds. Poison kills an estimated 72 million birds each year, and collisions with electrical lines result in 25 million deaths annually. Then, way down at No. 9 on the list of threats to birds is wind turbines, which caused an average of 234,012 bird deaths annually.

Even worse? Running a business like Trump runs a business - or a casino (six filed for bankruptcy).

Those Wuhan scientists needed something to do after COVID.
Rand Paul and Republicans in Congress too.

RFK Jr must be in a hell of a pickle, he wants to say "vaccine baaaaaad" but flu is a big killer of the elderly so it's literally killing his voter base and here is an effective preventer of that death.
And then there's this admission, just a few days ago. RFK Jr tells US families to vaccinate children against measles amid outbreak
The health secretary replied: “Parents should get their children vaccinated for measles. A measles vaccine is effective, it stops measles in about 97% of the cases. People should get vaccinated.”
Later in the interview he added that people should also get the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, the main protection against the disease that has been a particular target of the anti-vaccination movement.
available this fall for adults ages 50 to 64 and those 65 and older,
Or, simply, "50 and older" -- unless "those 65 and older" aren't considered "adults".
I understand the reasoning behind wanting the limit, but does TV actually matter anymore?
The limitations apply to television, radio and print media collectively. From Ownership:
Based on authority granted by Congress, the FCC sets limits on the number of broadcast stations (radio and TV stations) an entity may own, and on the common ownership of broadcast stations and newspapers.
Another democracy safeguard dismantled
Not dismantled (yet anyway), but certainly another ignored by this administration. I imagine this will get challenged in court and the FCC will probably lose, especially as the limit was explicitly specified in a statue passed by Congress. The (currently) republican-controlled congress could change this before the Paramount case gets into court, but that's a long shot, unless they squeeze it into some unrelated must-pass bill.
Just look at the raw data directly.
