It makes no sense to convert nuclear power into hydrogen, it’s massively inefficient. (Green) hydrogen is of interest precisely because sun and wind availability varies. It’s a good way to store the excess when an excess is inevitable.

It clearly does make sense to make the most of existing nuclear capacity , it does not make sense to build more nuclear. It costs billions and takes decades to come online, the same billions spent on solar and wind starts producing power immediately.

Those boots must be real tasty.

I don’t know anything about the technical side of this. But I would (possibly naively) think that it would be simpler to have a filter that you could automatically apply to sift bog-standard search engine results for Fediverse instances? Like adding “site:uk” to the end of a normal search, except that your filter term would check a list of Fediverse instances to return the relevant results.

And make it an app/add-on so that people can use it with their usual search strategies.

This was a pitch to their customers. They just forgot that we could hear them too.

You don’t have to buy a new car.

Bullshit.

Editorialise titles, don’t editorialise titles, only editorialise titles when someone is going to act like a baby if you don’t.

It’s a global website. You know that articles won’t always hail from your corner of the world. Deal with it.

Juan Guaidó, at the time Venezuela’s highest-ranking democratically elected official, as its rightful leader.

Wut?

How hard is it to check the source?

That’s true but it’s more than fair to say that SBF was powerful. He wasn’t donating to the GOP and Dems for shits and giggles, yaknow?

He did do what other rich folk do. Based himself in a tax haven and, initially, tried to challenge extradition.

Not many rich folk end up on trial. But even fewer end up absconding with their cash, never to be seen again. He is the normal kind of rich folk: he assumed he would get away with it because he is a born-rich kid who has never faced a consequence in his life.

but I want to drink more water

Do you want to drink more water, or less milk?

If your milk consumption doesn’t bother you, then milk is mostly water. It all counts. Have your matcha however you like your matcha.

Polls vary but this sort of poll typically asks “If there was an election tomorrow…” So no, not an approval rating.

They’re not a prediction of who will win in 2024, they’re a snapshot guesstimate of who would win tomorrow (if the pollster got their methods right, which they don’t, always).

But regardless, you absolutely should not be telling people not to worry. Trump voters will turn out (and predicted turnout is a huge part of pollsters’ methods). If Biden’s voters don’t turn out, he might lose. And it would be for exactly the same reason Clinton lost in 2016: complacency.

He’s the reason toots are called toots, and this is probably his most famous (short) video.

E2A: to answer your question, I think there’s some kind of youtuber beef about, maybe, plagiarism? Dunno, he goes viral fairly frequently.

You can’t just believe something because it’s been peer-reviewed. It is an absolutely minimal requirement for credibility these days but the system does not work well at all.

In this case, the authors acknowledge the need for more studies to establish how generalisable their findings are. It’s the first attempt at building a tool, it doesn’t mean anything at all until the findings are reproduced by an independent group.

You could always watch the video? There’s a piped link below.

I haven’t used a headphone jack for eleventy million years, I’m surprised so many people remember that they existed.

According to Action Fraud, the UK reporting centre for cybercrime, fraud accounts for around 41 per cent of all crime.

…

Meanwhile, just 1 per cent of police resources is devoted to tackling economic crime.

Oh, how odd. Must be some kind of mistake.

How is what possible? Did you imagine the fancy auto-complete could actually think?

No. Senate Republicans block funding bill that included aid for Ukraine and Israel

But even still, you’re just quoting a longstanding mechanism for the transfer of public money to private hands. What do you think that money is?
