Turn-out for primaries is minuscule. If you’re in a deep red state that has fully open primaries, you can request a republican primary ballot. I guarantee if you fully look into every primary candidate there will be a reasonable person who is at least open to impeaching or otherwise opposing Trump.

If it’s a partially-open primary state you will have to switch to independent to vote strategically in primaries.

If you’re in a deep-red state with closed primaries, it’s worth considering switching affiliations just so you can have some say in who represents you.

I know it’s like sifting through shit to find an edible kernel of corn, but it’s what has to be done to stop this in deep-red states.

I’ll trade two sacks of regular flour for one of oxycodone.

Hyundai announced they don't expect to release solid-state EVs until 2030, but their solid-state plant has been operational for a bit now and they're filing full-scale solid-state production patents already. It's going to be a real race to the finish.

Adam's ale (also referred to as Adam's wine, especially in Scotland; sometimes simply called Adam) is a colloquial allusion meaning water. It alludes to the idea that the biblical Adam had only water to drink. This inference gained popularity around the beginning of the 19th-century temperance movement.

You would need a lot of people actively involved to pull something like that off and the number of conspirators involved is inversely proportional to how long the conspiracy can be kept secret. So if it happened, the truth will come out in a fairly short time. Until then, I don’t see any point in entertaining these ideas or getting overwrought by them.

Anytime an article posts shit like this but neglects to include the full context,

They link directly to the journal article in the third sentence and the full pdf is available right there. How is that not tantamount to including the full context?

The tax bill and the tariffs are separate. In sum there would be a $40M surplus each year for a decade.

I’d rather read twenty minutes than watch a 5 minute YouTube video.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a video, YouTube or otherwise, that conveys information faster than an article. It’s usually 10 minutes of video to convey what would take 3 minutes to read while providing greater detail.

Inverters and solar battery storage generally have some combination of wired and wireless communication. You need to communicate with the grid for real-time pricing and forecasts so the system knows when to charge and discharge. Also you want the system status of all the panels and batteries. If somebody slices through the wrong fiber line near your site, it’s important to still be able to get that information.

If you get a home PV system, they’ll often have the option of a cellular modem. The controller on my home system has Wi-Fi and Ethernet with the option of a cellular modem. It wouldn’t surprise me if the board comes populated with some of the components necessary for cellular functionality even if you don’t opt for it.

I’m just saying they need to divulge more details before one can conclude this is nefarious.
