I feel like they are beyond just letting them immigrate. They've let their regime run too long. They affect policy in western nations when they turn up. They should be outright banned and then let them claim refugee status if they want to get out. If they can't prove they are war criminals then back they go.

Should ban fucking Israelis. Don't need terrorists and war criminals having free access to other countries. If they can prove they need asylum then they can follow the rules like everyone else.

How are they dealing with the issues of salt water basically rotting everything?

Yeah because Trump certainly would never post some slop of himself jacked and without a shirt ..

Definitely not a bribe ..

That is true, I would have thought California would be ripe for it given its mountains.

Pumped hydro is rapid power restoration. It takes no time to spin up and can deliver vast quantities of power. The original idea was that you used you baseline grid power to load it and then if your coal turbines blew up you started dropping the stored water to deliver emergency power. The more modern concept is that you use renewables to pump the water uphill while they are available and drop the water when they are not. It's a more functional version of the concrete block tower storage that was banged on about a few years ago. It's also proven tech, there are functional implementations of pumped hydro all over the place and they have been in place for decades.

You'd think with all the mountains they'd be building pumped hydro instead of batteries

Crikey, that's is certainly a bunch of weird little guys. In my mind I always see people focused on privacy and open source as being more about supporting rights and equality, but I guess they also skew into supporting what they see as the rights of arseholes to be arseholes which is ridiculous.

I don't really think I could use the word favourite to describe any of them .. but I guess I see Stallmans name and never considered he might be a fuckwit, so I guess him because I like a good shock.

Thanks!
