You say it’s a non-representative performance for Biden but that’s not really true. Biden has not been doing many interviews. He does prescripted events where he can use a teleprompter.

You have to go back to Regan to get fewer press conferences. He even skipped the traditional superbowl interview that is a notorious softball.

This all suggests that his team knows he can’t handle an interview and are avoiding it. If they thought he could handle it with his polling they would have him doing them all the time.

After the debate performance he needs to do something to show he can string some thoughts together in a coherent way. I think this Fridays interview is a desperate last shot to do that.

The way things are going he is either going to leave before the election or shortly after the election.

New Who tends to run on Bugs Bunny logic but also wants you to take it seriously. Try some old Doctor Who if you can handle very bad effects. Early Tom Baker or the Jon Pertwee stuff at least tries to make sense.

Also they often have the doctor have to work at the problem and have a plausible solution. Now it’s just I pushed the radiation in my shoe.

Back then the sonic screwdriver was just a high tech swiss army knife. The doctor would use it to open panels and rewire things. These days it’s a do anything magic wand.

I think Jodie Whittaker could have been a good doctor but like Peter Davison she was a doctor with a bad show runner and bad writers.

He should do a travel show called Food Omens.

It was supposed to be a history education show. Travel through time and learn about history. They dropped that by story 2 where they go to an alien planet and meet the Daleks.

Actually no. Batteries and thier inverter adapt in the about one second to half a second range. The massive inertia of a turbine adapts in the millisecond range.

To maintain 60 hz you need to be in the very low milliseconds range. Remember at 60 hz you do a full sin wave cycle in 16ms.

Turbines act as a tremendous power smoother in the grid.

Partially. Inverters providing virtual inertia is good but has the problem of still being active and reactive. It helps and is cheaper and more efficient than flywheels.

Flywheels and turbines however provide a very sticky frequency. They help out a lot with stability and give inverters time to respond.

Think balancing a stick on your hand vs anchoring it in clay.

If we take enough turbines off line we are still probably going to need some mechanical power stabilization no matter how inefficient.

But yeah I think we are going to see a blend using as much electrical and as little mechanical as possible.

It’s not just base load, turbines also provide grid stability. All the quick fluctuations as people turn things on and off are hard to load balance with solar, wind, or battery. A big spinning turbine has a lot of inertia. That helps keep thr grid at a constant frequency. As solar gets bigger and bigger we might need big solar powdered flywheel generators just to stabilize the grid.

Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.

Not only is it hard to get certified for things like rockets but they usually use a realtime os like red hawk (a red hat fork).

Not always look at pocket or the mr robot promo.

Firefox and it’s forks are the best browsers. They are still not very good. There are a ton of bad decisions and poor code. From old legacy stuff like how user profiles are stored to closed source shit like pocket.

The mozilla foundation has been on a downhill slide since google hired the skilled programmers to make chrome. Bad leadership,poor spending, and stupid priorities.

So yes firefox is the best browser. But that’s kind of like being the best cable company. Not exactly a great thing.

Question 1 what do you think of this cloud?

Not exactly the AP article is bad. You still can’t make an agreement before the act and get paid latter or ask for a payment latter.

However as long as you keep it sufficiently wink wink nudge nudge you are fine as intent now has to be proven.

Or just send a lot of ships and hope one or two find something good.

An alternative is we are among the first. Third generation stars are the ones that have planets with enough heavy elements to allow for complex chemistry. Sol (our star) is thought to be among the first batch of third generation stars in our gallexy.

Light speed does seem to be the upper speed limit for the universe. Talking that into account we probably haven’t had a chance to see other early life as it would likely be spread pretty thin right now.

She is a federal judge. The only way to remove her is impeachment it’s the exact same process as removing the president.

If she is not impeached she can sit on bench the rest of her life even if every ruling she makes is overturned by higher courts.

Tesla is not private. He borrowed a huge amount against his Tesla shares to buy twitter. That’s one of the reasons he wanted that giant bonus. He needs the money to keep paying off the loans.
