In a world of extremely cheap solar electricity pushing grid prices negative, a lot of things might be a lot more economical then conventionally thought though - particularly when you factor in the desire to get a full return on industrial

Honestly as wide spread as it is, managing group policy sanely is still a challenge I've found - it's very resistant to configuration as code. Linux has a lot of the pieces but is principally lacking a solid distribution system -

I've been trying to use Exchange support at work but there's an ongoing problem that the OAuth login screen can't display PIN prompts for things like Yubikeys. So I'd love to use the feature, but modern corporate auth de

But like...why? This is basically "just don't use things you don't enjoy" and the trouble of our time seems to be the number of people who can't or won't do that. It's somewhat an age thing but also defini

Frankly, who are these people? Because this is just another "they" idle conspiracy theory. "They" are against me. Ironically I could cite a very specific group this applies to: fitness influencers in the wake of ozempic.

It is not ineffective outside of clinical trials. All the evidence says that people gain some weight back after they discontinue treatment - which is not a lack of efficacy. But they also usually gain back less then they lost. https:/

That's because you grew up in a society still deeply coded to puritan moral viewpoints. People for so upset that GLP-1 has no long term side effects. There's still the crowd completely sure everyone will get HyperCancer in 10 year

Also LOL at the notion "peptides are safe because GLP-1 exists". Pretty much all venoms are mixes of short (10-15 base) peptide chains. It's the naturalistic fallacy in an utterly perverse form ( and also goes to show why a r

Medicine doesn't ignore nutrition, you just don't like the answers. And it shows on the research: e.g. does creatine help muscle building? No.[1] But cue some anecdote from someone where they also changed a dozen other things at

I mean "run out of wood" is the problem though. There aren't that many trees, certainly not enough for everyone in a region to start doing it. You'd be better off with an air sourced hear pump for hot water anyway - the

Also the sewer system backs up after about a week because the pumping and lift stations need power to operate. The water system shuts down because the tanks aren't reserve supply they're pressure support. And solar plus storage wi

They're also heavy. The tragedy of Russia destroying the Ukrainian An-225 was it was one of the only ways to move very big grid scale transformers on short notice. This is a problem in strategic reserve territory.

Russia is actively and directly at war with Ukraine. Russian tax dollars fund that war with Ukraine. Sanctions on Russia are us not funding the war on Ukraine.

Iron Dome is still not a catch-all term for the entire Israeli defense system, and all the other claims the poster has made are not supported by their links or evidence. As noted: Iron Dome intercepting ballistic missiles is an apparent n

Iranian Air defense getting lucky is different to it being impenetrable. This is not a binary situation, and a lucky F-15 kill would not make it a good idea to concentrate more assets in an area where the US will now focus more resources.

Countries aren't human. You don't deliver a "knock out punch". WW2 wasn't ended by capturing Berlin, it was ended because the German military was destroyed or surrendered as they were forced back towards Berlin. By

No the problem is that operational security necessarily biases what you see. Drones, unlike many other systems produce a lot of kill footage and due to the specific users a lot of that is getting uploaded right now. Successful sorties get u

Also all those missions can be unmanned. If you want to get good at something then you do it a lot. The only question is whether the cost of flying all those missions would be prohibitive: by the stated goals, starship should be able to do

Conversely SLS is ready now. Starship and Super Heavy are not and cannot do this mission today.

I wonder if Starlink works if the dish is above the satellites. Technically GPS can work from the moon.
