They don’t care.

“We need this investment, we need these jobs, we need these tax revenues.”

You weren’t going to get any of that either way. Construction, and then that’s it.

The “other AI”?

Fantastic news, and shows that the battery tech is poised to eat coal/gas’ lunch.

It’s going to wind up as a transformative event, but I don’t relish getting to the other side. Especially with a government adversarial to moving off of the fossil crap.

Cory Doctorow wrote about this too, recently, and it too is worth a read: https://pluralistic.net/2026/04/20/praxis/ .

“This is the template for the long-foreseeable future. Thanks to Trump’s stupid, bloody, unforgivable war of choice in the Gulf, the world is going to install unimaginable amounts of cleantech. They are going to throw away their water heaters, motorbikes, furnaces and cars and replace them with all-electric versions. They’re going to cover their roofs and balconies with panels. The battery industry will experience a sustained boom. The fortunes that fossil fuel companies are reaping from the current shortage is their last windfall.

The writing is on the wall. Trump opened Alaska for drilling and the oil companies noped out because they couldn’t find a bank that would loan them the money needed to get started. Then it happened again in Venezuela. This de-fossilizing was already the direction of travel, the only question was the pace at which the transition would proceed – and Comrade Trump has just stomped all over the (liquid natural) gas pedal.”

It does. Smells more like dog food for some reason. I don’t understand why either

Only if it’s near its sell-by date

That is a deep cut.

Probably the crazy number of accordion folds in there. It has to be to increase surface area, but some people might be unaware of how that looks on the inside?

“I’ll bet your high” - I was trying to figure out “his high what”. Ah. “you’re high”

It’s what killed Kirk Douglas.

Imagine if all plumbing was made out of cardboard. Sinks, toilets, pipes.

That’s modern computing.

John Appleseed not obvious enough?

Squeeze-it water enhancer. There’s several hundred different flavors, you can add however much you want at that time, so you can make it stronger or weaker as the mood hits you. Most are typically 0 cal, but IIRC there are some that have no sweetener at all. Search for “water enhancer”, but here are some examples. I’ll also make them go further by adding them to some iced tea, so you can make an Arnold Palmer. Variety is the spice of life.

Basically just seems weird they’re going through so much effort when there’s a lot of solar infrastructure going up right now. I just don’t see them making enough money off this to be profitable when oil comes back, and even when oil comes back, enough people will have been burned that they’re going to move towards electric vehicles, at least in that part of the that world.

Funny, for a bunch of “good old boys” who made like they couldn’t’ figure out how to say his name, they sure figured it out when they had to, didn’t they?

Also, this particular dipshit is running against “MAGA” Mayes Middleton in a primary runoff, with both calling the other insufficiently conservative. A pox upon both their houses.

I guess Suzuki doesn’t have any EVs it wants people to move to?

Since you’re talking Ergodox, do you still want column-staggered? For row staggered you probably need the Dygma Raise if you want a thumb cluster.

One of the fun things I miss about working in the office. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton I don’t miss, but that type of thing was fun.
