You say it’s a non-representative performance for Biden but that’s not really true. Biden has not been doing many interviews. He does prescripted events where he can use a teleprompter.

You have to go back to Regan to get fewer press conferences. He even skipped the traditional superbowl interview that is a notorious softball.

This all suggests that his team knows he can’t handle an interview and are avoiding it. If they thought he could handle it with his polling they would have him doing them all the time.

After the debate performance he needs to do something to show he can string some thoughts together in a coherent way. I think this Fridays interview is a desperate last shot to do that.

The way things ate going he is either going to leave before the election or shortly after the election.

Actually no. Batteries and thier inverter adapt in the about one second to half a second range. The massive inertia of a turbine adapts in the millisecond range.

To maintain 60 hz you need to be in the very low milliseconds range. Remember at 60 hz you do a full sin wave cycle in 16ms.

Turbines act as a tremendous power smoother in the grid.

Partially. Inverters providing virtual inertia is good but has the problem of still being active and reactive. It helps and is cheaper and more efficient than flywheels.

Flywheels and turbines however provide a very sticky frequency. They help out a lot with stability and give inverters time to respond.

Think balancing a stick on your hand vs anchoring it in clay.

If we take enough turbines off line we are still probably going to need some mechanical power stabilization no matter how inefficient.

But yeah I think we are going to see a blend using as much electrical and as little mechanical as possible.

It’s not just base load, turbines also provide grid stability. All the quick fluctuations as people turn things on and off are hard to load balance with solar, wind, or battery. A big spinning turbine has a lot of inertia. That helps keep thr grid at a constant frequency. As solar gets bigger and bigger we might need big solar powdered flywheel generators just to stabilize the grid.

Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.

If you are trying to steel credentials from people with power and money passengers in first class are a good target.

Where else are you going to find a cluster of people like that that are using the wifi and are going to be there for hours. It’s about as optimal as I can think of.

Even better if you are targeting a spefic company. Just pick flights out of the headquarters for that company.

If you want to attack say Microsoft pick a flight from Seattle to DC. Pretty good odds of a Microsoft high up being on the flight and wanting to use the wifi for work.

Not only is it hard to get certified for things like rockets but they usually use a realtime os like red hawk (a red hat fork).

Question 1 what do you think of this cloud?

Not exactly the AP article is bad. You still can’t make an agreement before the act and get paid latter or ask for a payment latter.

However as long as you keep it sufficiently wink wink nudge nudge you are fine as intent now has to be proven.

She is a federal judge. The only way to remove her is impeachment it’s the exact same process as removing the president.

If she is not impeached she can sit on bench the rest of her life even if every ruling she makes is overturned by higher courts.

He is always furious. But this is what he wanted. The gerrymandered districts he forced through pushed a bunch of swing districts into comfortably R at the expense of some extremely D districts.

So yeah it’s great to see increased glbt representation (there is another gay senator) and latino representation but it’s not because we are becoming more tolerant. It’s because republicans have solidified control of the state legislature.

I like Smith and am glad he won. But it’s unfortunately the byproduct of losing one or two other democrat seats in the legislature. That’s not Smith’s fault it’s the republicans fault.

It’s an interesting question as far as dead naming as well. Normally it’s just a dick move or an accident because of old habits. But in the case of people who did important work that might be published under an old name it can be useful to get them the credit.

I’m a computer engineer so I looked up her work to see if I was familiar with it. I was wondering if I would need to lookup her dead name to find her important work. In her case her big book (which I recognized immediately and have on my shelf) was published after her transition so it wasn’t necessary.

If it had been written pre transition it would have been a shame to not know she was the author.

I know there is variance among the community. Of my three trans friends 2 prefere being referred to by their post transition gender in the past tense and once preferes they/them.

A coworker who came out requested he/him until after they took time off for treatment and then she/her afterwards.

When asked if he wanted his name updated on an award plaque while away he said no. So when she returned we had only updated her door name plate and info in the company directory.

The thing is countries can change. Russia was ill equipped to fight a war against a prepared equipped country. Supplies were missing because people sold off supplies they thought were never gong to be needed. Now they know they need that equipment and the countries economy is on a war footing.

Look at how much a difference being prepared made for Ukraine the recent invasion compared to the earlier invasion of Crimea.

Being rich does get you a lot of protection in america.

On a level 2 charger.

That’s av level 2 charger.

Yup
