It would seem that no actual performance upgrade will ever be useless, as software engineers continue to push the envelope on writing shitty, bloated, non-performant code out of sheer laziness and apathy.

See: Windows

Just going to apply a bit of Occam's Razor to this here.

You are inventing a conspiracy in your mind because you still haven't figured out that this guy is the biggest hypocrite and liar in the known universe. I assure you he has no actual objection to using the autopen himself, as literally thousands of pieces of paper that require executive signature go through the White House every week. It's already been proven that he used it on pardons.

If there isn't an automated way to affix the President's signature on things, the entire building would drown in paper waiting for him to get around to scrawling his name on things with a Sharpie.

That fee matters a great deal if you're trying to get health care workers like nurses that we are in short supply of.

Why the hell would you pay $100k to the government to get an employee you are going to pay $70k a year? You won't. And everyone's health care will suffer for it.

Also, if you're a doctor who is looking for work abroad and you have a choice between having to deal with the US government bullshit and this fee, or Canada with no bullshit or fee; which are you going to choose?

Well this should be fun:

The upfront investment can be substantial—a single 3.5 MW commercial turbine costs over £3.13 million to build. However, those turbines can generate between £2.79 million and £7.1 million per year in revenue. Source

Strike One.

Here's an article on the US DOE's own web site about advances in recycling turbine blades and composites.

Strike Two.

I've heard of farmed salmon, but I don't think that's what you are referring to. These are OFFSHORE wind farms. No farmers, no fences, no trucks. Please stay on topic.

Jumpin Jesus! Holy cow!

How many gallons of oil does a coal plant use for lubrication and all the diesel equipment to move coal around, and move the waste ash around? How many gallons of oil does a diesel generator use over it's lifetime, and how many kW of energy does it create with substantially more oil used?

THE TURBINE DOESN'T BURN THE OIL TO MAKE ENERGY. You apparently know this, since you hinted that it's used for cooling. It's not used in evaporative cooling, so that same 300 ga. of oil will be there until the decommissioning of the turbine.

Strike Three.

You then go on to make a bunch of baseless assumptions that are loosely correlated to the above, which I've already shown to be monumentally stupid.

Now only if there was some way they could mount something besides radar on the turbines themselves to use for confirmation if you're getting signal of something that shouldn't be there. Like some cameras that use light instead of sound to detect things.

The sitting President is a know-nothing idiot who's primary motivation for basically anything is revenge and retribution.

He hates wind power because Scotland had the audacity to grant permission for a few windmills within site of his precious golf course. That's the "classified" reason he hates wind energy, and he's too fucking stupid to realize that offshore wind won't be seen by anyone that isn't in a boat, miles away from land.

Distribution and creation were already merged with NBC Universal Comcast.

This is just playing catch-up.

Anyone playing the long game doesn't give a fuck who the sitting president is, because your hundreds of billions of net worth matter to anyone who can potentially get the job.

Reasons that matter, like "I don't want that shit on my TV, and it wasn't a 'feature' when I bought it and now you are shoving it down my throat" ?

Pretty sure I covered that in my objection if you read a little more context into it.

Not that it matters too much for me - the only LG TV in my house is in a guest bedroom, with a Google Chromecast hanging off of it so nobody ever has to deal with the dumpster fire UI that is WebOS and their unusable "I thought the Diamond Multimedia Gyromouse Pro from 1999 was awesome so we resurrected the absolute inaccuracy and shitty user experience" remote.

LG can do whatever they want, because I don't buy their crap products unless I have an absolute way to disable any of their software from ever being seen or used.

So use a container if it's that much of a problem.

Just bring your dependencies with you.

Because power outages, or signal controller outages never happen?

No. Traffic signals being out is a very down-the-middle case they should have accounted for.

Answer: a guy who has complete control over his Department of Justice, to make sure nobody ever does anything about it. And he'll issue them pardons on the way out for their service.

Well, he's already earned "worst president ever" from James Buchanan - that's a legacy to be proud of!

He has no obsession with peace. He has an obsession with a particular peace prize that he will never get.

People who threaten sovereign countries with a naval blockade - literally an internationally recognized act of war - do not get peace prizes that were not made up 15 minutes previous to it being issued.

His children are thoroughly unlikeable know-nothing asshats with even less perspective and ability to connect with normal people than Donald. It's a good thing they all have trust funds and shitloads of money, because they have proven themselves to be thoroughly worthless people unless you need to steal money from the US Treasury.

JD Vance, with his own weirdness and complete lack of charisma would have an easier time because he at least has a partially functional brain, even if it's overloaded with incorrect and stupid shit.
