This is because everyone doesn’t have batteries. The spot price is already free or negative at those times. It is to encourage people to time their appliances like washing machines to operate at that time, so there is less power need at other times. People still need to pay a connection fee (grid fee) and would pay for usage at other times.

I wonder if batteries will be allowed of you’re in the scheme. It would make car charging particularly attractive too.

If the jury had any faith in the legal system, they would have found him guilty and he should be sentenced to 30 seconds.

However, they clearly didn’t. The fact that this came this far is ridiculous. The police officer lying was a much larger crime.

Wealthy people will be less affected. They will get a different flight and just charge it. Poorer people will need to wait for a refund or insurance to pay to get an alternative.

I would also expect that the workers in states with less social benefits are more likely to have the staff not show up as they have to earn money elsewhere.

From what I’ve seen, it looks like it’s staggered based on metrics to be delivered to trigger it. I hope they approve it, which causes the share price to crash and then he destroys his wealth in the greedyprocess and doesn’t get any of it.

He was honourable.

Yes, once a month of you use one computer. I move between 4 at work and have one at home.

It’s now impossible to not log in without a Microsoft account. Some of our shared log ins for the team end up switching settings to edge etc every once in a while as clicking next will change settings with dark patterns.

I require tinkering to log into windows ever week or two. Same difference. I get your point though.

Yes, but all the while they are facing more controlled resistance. The more resistance builds, the less they can try to pull off. Eventually there is a crack in either direction. They have a timeline they need to keep or they won’t enact their plan on time.

As a parent of 2 kids under 10, at this age they don’t care about brands. The school uniforms are much more expensive than any t shirts or shorts or track pants from Kmart or bigW (Aussie retailers). Poorer kids still get hand me downs and second hand, whereas richer kids get brand new. Most kids are only-child these days, so the concept of hand me downs is less prevalent within a family.

For teens, I can understand that point, but for teens I think self expression and exploring identity are key parts of growing up.

To be fair, for many, they recognise there is a problem with crime and they think the death penalty acts as a deterrent. All the evidence disagrees, but that’s not the point.

As you say though, do many cruelty is the point, of even as a vengeance piece.

Haha, yes. It makes nonsense if you are consistent with names. Meta and alphabet for Facebook and Google. Y combinator as a part is a stretch too. But it’s just a joke!

Alphabet

The uk doesn’t generally provide housing. It does provide a monetary allowance for those that don’t have a primary residence near Westminster. Places like downing st are for the convenience of the state, not the politician, like the White House. The royals, on the other hand…

This is very different. This is people getting given government housing because they are feeling unwelcome in the community. It’s hypocritical and, as the article points out, it’s pushing out the people this housing was designed to accomodate.

Of course it’s not really socialism, as it’s not for everyone. The point is the state is proving their wants (not needs) while they deny the needs of others.

No, when it provides all your needs.

Yes, the competency also seems to be in the hr department and the recruiting department at the same level.

Isn’t that socialism? Government housing for me, but not for thee is pretty typical, but it’s also good they don’t feel welcome when spreading hate.

Really, in my country, it’s whoever is at the residence on census night, visitor, or resident, citizen or not. So, you don’t for wherever you happen to be.

People follow it by agreement and the idea is they face sanctions if they don’t. It’s unlikely America will face direct sanctions. However they are unlikely to find many friendly partners moving forward. The more heinous acts, the less other countries can overlook it.

It’s not just USA. The more countries that skirt international law, the more others also do the same and the less others listen to America. Putin doesn’t care about international law when invading Ukraine. Then china stops caring about consequences for invading Taiwan etc.

It’s stuff like this that makes the international community more afraid of Trump. The grifting and grafting is an internal problem. The fascism is a humanity problem. The breakdown in rule of law is a global problem.

Most are sealed now so that they are waterproof for use in the shower.

It’s not about being unclear, it’s about making a human connection instead of pushing an agenda.
