Dude the US is so far past horse meat substitution in beef. It happened 13 years ago in Europe and there was a more minor one in Canada. That was with functioning food inspection agencies, the US has basically stopped food inspections altogether.

That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.

Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.

95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.

I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.

Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.

You have a lot of down votes but I think there is philosophical merit to your statement.

Biologically “male” and “female” abilities and attributes have a massive overlap and are at worst bimodal distributions. There is no singular meaningful action that only one gender does. So you would naturally think that humans would be equal.

Except… Women give birth to new humans. In modern times we have enough scientific explanations to take some of the magic out of the fact that human life is created inside of women. This act is so philosophically terrifying and traumatic that it creates the “female” category unavoidably in the mind of anyone who even hears of it.

The “male” is something created out of lack. It’s an attempt to create a category by focusing on the differences between two entirely overlapping sets because the “female” is a category. Everything else, like patriarchy as a whole, flows from there.

At the end of the day everyone is just “people” and a bit less than half of us can create new life as a bonus feature. Everything else is a social construct.

These fucking conservatives crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches anytime the government does something heinous and use their piss poor understanding of EVERYTHING to try to justify the heinous actions. It happens every time, and I wish just once to see one of them use real and relevant facts, just so I can pretend that these people live in reality for just one second.

Hasn’t happened yet though.

This guy has no fucking idea how the law works. Destruction of evidence requires a primary crime, the one you’re destroying the evidence for. There is no crime, therefore no destruction of evidence. Only an incompetent or corrupt judge would let this even go to trial.
