Marie le Pen is a female Trump and she is likely the next President of France.

We've heard this for the past decade, and even if she wins, there's a difference between being nationalist as a minor inconvenience and being a raging psychotic nationalist dictatorship hell bent on isolating a country. Look to the Netherlands. They briefly had a their version of Trump win the elections. Everyone collectively yawned and nothing much changed. Poland was worse, PIS put in serious effort to ruin the country, well they're still doing quite well and people are quickly undoing the damage because most of the damage was minor and internal.

Trump's damage internationally will take decades to undo. His damage internally to the power and assumptions of how the constitution works will take a generation to correct at best. The scale is wildly different.

Italy? You got lucky

No, luck has nothing to do with this. It's a system of power that puts checks in place without the holes that the USA had.

Did he say that with his VETO hat on? It's easy to accept a result that doesn't affect you. The Supreme Court is right behind his numerous runs-around congress. Impeachment is a pointless posturing exercise. The current house and senate control is no threat to the way this president operates.

A fridge doesnt need to be managed by an IT dept. It keeps to a fixed temperature and if it deviates by X amount a very loud alarm goes off which someone on duty will hear. Job done.

I can see you understand in great detail how to manage one fridge and run that to failure. That's not at all how you run 1000s of fridges and maintain them based on conditional parameters necessitating realtime reporting.

Hint: if the alarm goes off, you've already fucked up.

Why would you split the screen in two if the content isn't sized such that splitting the screen in two would make sense? Why would you want to waste space on a task bar when not needed? Why does none of this have the benefit of an always on top window that actually allows you to maximise space by overlaying content onto dead space of other windows?

Yeah I'm sure you there's people who don't understand window management here, you can find one staring at you in the mirror.

The idea that anyone "sits arounds" and waits on their EVs is nonsense. The question you should ask is if you have L2 charging infrastructure anywhere near your house, and then call it a day.

I've "sat around" more hours pumping fuel into my car than I ever have waiting on an EV to charge. And no I don't have a charger at home, but somehow my car is always able to be magically filled while I'm not there.

To be fair I thought like you before I got my first EV. In retrospect I feel very silly about my views back then.

It’s so sad that refrigerators cannot be airgapped...

Not sad at all. It would be sad if they were airgapped. Being unable to plan maintenance on a conditional bases for a fleet of 1000s of fridges would be a disaster. Running things to failure may work in your home, but it is unlikely to impress your supermarket chain when their product spoils.
