Although they may increase this year because the Chinese government has been encouraging the substitution of coal for gas & oil during the Iran crisis.

The USA completely failed to eliminate the threat of a communist takeover of French Indochina.

Ask Pakistan if the threat of Afghanistan-based terrorism has been eliminated.

> Flying F-15 and F-16s now.

Except not really. If they were willing to risk sending many aircraft deep into Iranian airspace with SDBs and JDAMs they wouldn't be running out of ballistic missiles.

This is something people say, but in practice the Toyota Prius is still a very reliable car.

To be fair, running electric only at slow speeds is still good, because it's slow, stop-and-go driving that benefits the most from electric.

I think they were trying to say that it's surprising the Lightning sold so poorly considering the popularity of the ICE version.

I do think F-150 buyers tend to be more conservative than average car buyers and more receptive to anti-EV FUD for both political and cultural reasons.

The US has been doing air strikes in the Middle East on a regular basis since ~1990, and they extensively support the military adventures of allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Absolutely not. It will takes months to years to rebuild onshore infrastructure, and shipping companies will be very reluctant to send tankers into the Gulf. Negotiations may collapse and hostilities resume at any moment, especially since Israel does not know the meaning of the word ceasefire.

I assume you are aware that "they" are the Republicans? The Harris campaign avoided talking about it whenever possible, while Republican groups spent $200 million on anti-trans ads.

The US oil companies will export their oil to China (or Japan, South Korea and other major oil importers, in lieu of oil bought by China.)

In many states these are available without proof of citizenship. When people say proof of citizenship they usually mean a passport or REALID.

em-dashes and en-dashes are used for completely different purposes, so why would they be confused?

Military ships don't run their radio beacons in combat zones. (There was an incident last year where the USS Theodore Roosevelt collided with a civilian cargo ship at night at least partially because it tried to approach the Suez canal with it's beacon off.)

As far as I know none of Trump's deals have been ratified by the Senate. None of them are valid.

Pretty sure the term "seed" for a pRNG initial value is already derived from the same crystal seed analogy...

Not a patron, so I haven't seen the whole video, but I don't think Rocz would use AI for a video about his beloved Pennsylvania Railroad.

The premise here is that you lose access to a European bank's mobile app because the US government compels Apple or Google to disable your app store accounts. Not that your relationship with the bank is frozen.

How much do 0-15 year olds contribute to the economy?

The curtailed windfarms are in the north of Scotland. There is currently not enough transmission capacity to export electricity from there to the south of England where the demand is highest. New transmission lines are under construction, but they wont be ready until 2029.

Pro TV used Betacam, not Betamax. Same physical tape, but four instead of two tape heads and a much faster tape speed.

That's production, not consumption. The US exports huge amounts of oil and gas now. The EU/Russia sanctions and the Red Sea blockade are a huge gravy train for American oil and gas companies.

I think Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage are closer to commanding a nuclear arsenal than Alice Weidel.

No it doesn't make sense. Every photon that hits the Earth is eventually either absorbed as heat, reflected back into space or both (eg. partially absorbed and partially re-emitted as lower energy photons.) There is no net global increase in heat from a wind turbine or solar panel. (There might be slight local shifts.)

The only way this could change net heat if it significantly altered the reflectivity of the surface, and in practice the affected area is too small to matter. As an exaggerated example, I found an article [1] that calculated the area that would need to be covered by solar panels to generate power equal the total global electricity consumption to be 115,625 square miles, approximately equal to the state of New Mexico.

> That’s not to exclude the harsh reality of mining for the minerals required to build these, nor the land use concerns.

This is Big Oil propaganda. The impact from this is massively less than the horrific damage caused by every part of the fossil fuel industry.

Thunderfork's question stands: if they are biased towards power (democrats), how can they also be biased towards the left?

According to TFA LE already offers a "shortlived" profile that issues 6-day certs if you want to stress test your automation, or just gain the security advantages of rapid certificate turnover immediately.

The goal is to move to short lived certs to make the fragile system of revocation lists and public certificate logs unnecessary.

Appple uses custom DRAM and NAND chips?

Brexit can't just be undone. The UK would have to go through the full accession procedure. This would be much easier for the UK than for countries like Georgia, since the UK system hasn't diverged much, but the special agreements and exceptions the UK had would have be renegotiated from scratch.

Adding a new member state always requires unanimous consent from existing member states, for good and ill.

Not many countries where supply and demand are evenly distributed. Britain does have the significant difficulty of high population density in the Midlands and South England, but the main problem here sees to be in Scotland and North England, so this should be less of an issue.

Learned helplessness in the political class has more to do with it, I think.

SNI relies on the client specifying the host name in the unencrypted ClientHello message that initiates a TLS handshake. Encrypted Client Hello involves extra configuration that most websites don't implement.
