At least they are installing renewables as fast as they can.

no problem.

I'm actually responding to the AC above you. He is arguing that the attack wouldn't make any sense for either country to make, based on *national* interest. I'm pointing out that's not the only framework in which *regimes* make decisions.

Visa and MC doing business with a sanctioned Russian entity is a much bigger deal.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Visa and Mastercard are obligated to immediately stop doing business with WantToPay as soon as they are informed that they are bypassing US sanctions.. otherwise Visa and MC themselves start to become liable as well.

The DCL isn't mandatory though. Home Assistant only needs it for device firmware updates, but it's always going to be the case that those come from the internet.

Their battery tech is a years ahead of everyone else, from the basic chemistry to the manufacturing process.

Some are, others are adopting Matter which is local only and an open protocol. Vote with your wallet.

Some car manufacturers want to wring more out of their investments in hybrid drivetrains. They are also hoping to delay long enough to catch up to the Chinese on battery tech.

Toyota is a great example. Their solid state battery tech is always a few years away from revolutionising the industry. They tried and abandoned hydrogen.

We have a similar problem in the UK. Courts and juries tend to believe the police, even though they have a reputation for lying.

Just put it in context: Today Russia struck the Pechenihy Reservoir dam in Kharkiv.
Russia launched the war because they thought it would be a quick and easy win, a step towards reestablishing a Russian empire and sphere of influence, because Putin thinks in 19th century terms. Russia is continuing the war, not because it's good for Russia. I'd argue that winning and then having to rebuild and pacify Ukraine would be a catastrophe. Russia is continuing the war because *losing* the war would be catastrophic for the *regime*. It's not that they want to win a smoldering ruin, it's that winning a smoldering ruin is more favorable to them and losing an intact country.

To crash the OS out wound need to be in the kennel, so do a quick test if that RAM using something like MARCH C.

Given that Linehan had spent months harassing her on Twitter, to which she didn't respond, and she was a child at the time... I can't see any justification.

Hmm, two decades ago perhaps. We must be getting old because it doesn't seem like that long ago.

It's more like "dictionary entry of the year". Some things where the two words have to be used together for a specific meaning have dictionary entries, such as speed bump, for example.
