Yeah, I have no idea why CBS is reporting on this Pakistan stuff. I don't need to hear about murders in random countries.

PS: 1000 people are murdered every day all over the world. Roughly 30% of those are intrafamilial.

Hydro storage is pretty good paired with solar but you need to have lots of hydro to start with.

Yeah, it's the only nonviolent way to control them.

I think he is able to learn, but he has to fail like 20 times until he finally gets it (e.g. JCPOA, he's almost getting there). Makes him feel like a genius.

Great stuff, just needs some mass-produced cheap industrial batteries to buffer inter-day variation and some backup to ensure winter.

Can those be valued at 1Bn?

Ok, yes, there are these examples:

Instagram: When Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012, the company had only 13 employees and was valued at $1 billion.

WhatsApp: When Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014, the company had around 55 employees, but it had previously raised funding at a valuation of $1.5 billion with a much smaller team.

Duo Security: In 2018, Cisco acquired Duo Security for $2.35 billion. At the time of acquisition, Duo had around 10 employees.

Nutanix: While not exactly a small startup at the time of valuation, Nutanix was valued at $1.2 billion in 2013 with around 10-15 employees.

(disclaimer: I sourced these from gpt and have not fact checked them)

Hey, this is all part of a master plan, ok? tramp always plays 10D chess.

The plan so far:

Now do December/January, those are the hard months for solar.

Maybe they can form the Western Hemisphere anti-cunt organization with Canada and Mexico (WHACO) against indiscriminate tariffs and political interference.

Because Europe, Canada, Australia want to keep options open instead of throwing their lot with China, which they see as a potential threat too. Brazil has little to lose, because the only threat to them right now is the US and their Bolsonarist bitches.

Looks like tramp wants the US to grow its own chocolate and coffee...genius. No more cheap hamberders either.

A provision "hidden" in the sweeping budget bill that passed the U.S. House on Thursday seeks to limit the ability of courts—including the U.S. Supreme Court—from enforcing their orders.

"No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued," the provision in the bill, which is more than 1,000 pages long, says.

The provision "would make most existing injunctions—in antitrust cases, police reform cases, school desegregation cases, and others—unenforceable," Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, told Newsweek. "It serves no purpose but to weaken the power of the federal courts."
