Funny enough, I was just watching a video from Peter Zeihan, where he's talking about most of the Western world is currently in recession (or close to it). Noteworthy is that North America is doing ok.

It seems like problems occur from different firmware from the various motherboard manufacturers. I have a motherboard with a Ryzen 7950x and it would randomly not boot. I'd have to remove the battery from the system, let it fully reset

The Russian's don't have enough troops to invade and hold Ukraine, they'd need twice as much to invade and hold Poland. The US should have had at least 300k soldiers on the ground to prevent the chaos that enveloped Iraq afte

Basically, to get subsidies, you need to install a battery storage system with a solar installation. This can be quite a bit more expensive than the solar alone. (worth it if possible, adds a backup in case of a power outage too)

I'm thinking the Coal plants will be built in newly industrializing economies, as it's the cheapest way to provide constant cheap power. China is still building Coal Power plants and so is India. The US hasn't built one in a

I was able to get a Dell Precision T7820 off of Ebay. 2x Xeon Gold 6136, 128GB of RAM and an 8GB Quadro P4000 card for $500. Runs Linux great and is pretty zippy at tasks that hit all the cores of the CPU. Will probably spring for an AMD vi
