Ideally there are no harmful combustion byproducts when used in ICE, the reality is probably less harmful combustion byproducts, not none
Hydrogen is lossy,
Conversions being inefficient,
Molecules small enough to migrate from containment,
Embrittlement of pipes & tanks
3 or more times the infrastructure per watt delivered, a huge investment in resources
I suppose if there is excess generating capacity, hydrogen could be used as a storage medium for night time
I vote for the candidate that would do the least harm for the most people, just like I always do, nearly always the Dem
I believe there is a mandate
Since the largest group of voters did not vote, they apparently thought everything was fine the way it was
They passively voted for the Status Quo
There is a clear Mandate for the Status Quo!
Winning by less than 1% & losing seats in the house is no mandate to become a Monarchy, to be ruled by Royal decree
Making it all seem like shyt is the GOPux brand
Proving government incompetent by their actions
The Dems keep running on
We Suck Less!
In general we would rather critique the bad faith arguments of conservatives than talk about policy, which is mind numbingly boring....
As long as the donor class calls the tune it's gonna continue Third Way, Neo Liberal...
Qrs don't seem safe to me
Scanning a Qr allows the installation of malware apps so I can look at a restaurant menu, & ding my card for recurring charges?
I got an email from Meta a couple of days ago about an account I had been locked out of for a several years, after logging out, trying to recover my password, which they wouldn't allow without me providing a copy of my drivers license, which wasn't going to be possible, since I made up all the details other than the throw away gmail account
I had been restricted & banned for posting meme's or trolling magats on several occasions prior...
I'm guessing, there was a mass unlocking of previously blocked accounts
Can they use this law to go after the root cause?
Vulture Capitalists buying rental properties for "investment"
Allowing the income to be capital gains, not the income that it is
No
We have several systems find waste, fraud & abuse
Inspector General
Government Accounting Office
Office of Management & Budget
All of which are routinely ignored by both houses of Congress
If a mandate actually existed the Congress would have no problem actually doing their job & writing some law
It's no coincidence that every system Elmo is hacking is investigating illegal activity within his companies/government contracts
Another tell tale sign is that DoD, the traditional home of waste, fraud & abuse isn't the primary target
The way I remember it, Bush deported some Salvadoran gang members from LA, who showed their friends in the homeland how to do the gang thing & everyone came back to the USA for fun n profit
MS13 was born
We certainly have supported a series of despotic regimes in El Salvador for at least the last century, in support of various corporate interests
Isn't Marco one of those anchor babies? :D
The 1% is trying to take over the systems, so they can reduce their costs to corrupt, the ROI on buying elections is pretty good...
The idea of the law is potentially fair
In practice the engaging narrative wins
I'm glad that the legal opposition is fighting
Flooding the zone makes it into a battle of legal resources
Moderation for adults is gonna be tough
Who is going to submit to being under someone else's control
There are lots of tools available
All require discipline to use consistently
I have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
No notifications on the desktop,
Three hidden panels:
Time/calendar/weather,
Launchers,
Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray
Different browser & email for different tasks
Virtual desktops
Money, doctors, work
Music, books, games [no email or browser]
News, critique of peoples opinions,
Forums & sites I'm testing, repair info, linux stuff
All the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it "belongs"
Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on
I notice what used to be a 90 minute movie is now a 10 part series
I don't remember being assigned entire books in grade or middle school [70's]
The assignments were a chapter or two
Very early we started allowing the parties to administer the the primaries to avoid having to raise taxes to pay for elections
We outsourced elections to the Fan(atic)s because they cost less,
They still get paid in proximity to power
Having the occasional binary popularity contest to decide who should be in charge may not be the best method
