We'll see. It all depends on what all those dollars are spent doing.

You sure?

Fair. And the parts were pretty big too.

They did eventually break up Standard Oil.

Go further. Subsidizing putting batteries in cars, charged at night by natural gas, instead of on the grid to support solar, is completely stupid. If we are trying to avoid ecological catastrophe on a short timescale, how can such nonsensical, inefficient policies be not only tolerated, but even applauded?

With what? Batteries? A long cable? Not over 750 miles. Go read about them. Communications and positioning are hard problems too. Note that no one is offering details from the US administration about scenarios like this. They know it's impossible.

Those things (pigs) need the gas flowing to move. They cannot be self propelled for 755 miles. We need the metallurgical results from the Swedes. Did the pipe blow up from the inside or outside. Why the foot dragging on this if it could easily prove Russia did it?

You are right. This will have repercussions for years to come in the European-US and intra-European relations and strategy. Such a stupid move by the US.

Sweden has the evidence, ask them. Tell us how Russia did it. How did they evade detection so close to a NATO country's shore? Shouldn't that be causing a shake-up in NATO naval defense?

It's good to have these stories. There is too much cheering for the war as if it was a sporting event.

I've been saying every fiber optic cable from the West into Russia should have been cut since Litvinenko was assassinated in London.

Sink one tanker with drones or bomb on a raft. Shippers and insurers will stop traffic.

Can we fight China at the same time, too? A war in the Persian gulf would cut off oil and things around the world will begin to spiral out of control.

Hey, if we got rid of the ozone layer ...

Seems like heating on the front side leading to lower density.

CSP station outside Las Vegas required natural gas heating to keep the heat exchanger hot through the night.

The average amount of precipitation shows no trend over the last 90 years. What is changing is there is more rain vs. snow in the Sierras.

And California is still making us all test every week and report with a QR code just to go to work. The regulations make no sense. It's all theater.

To where? The 7-11?

It's the round of 16, not the tree of sixteen.

How does the calculation change if the ABM is nuclear too? Politically we are relying on kinetic kill which seems way harder.

Right, energy scale seems much smaller for the magnetic interactions. Aligning proton spins would mean the spatial wave function would have to be anti symmetric. That's not good for fusion probabilities you would think.

The sheer amount of mass you gave to put way up in geostationary orbit is laughable. Gonna use kerosene rockets?
