Not to dissuade anyone from thinking that California is a much better state than Alabama; but those rankings are terrible. Florida ranked #2 best state in education, #1 in economy, and #13th in crime? Yeah, that's not biased at all USNews.

Unfortunately, "spills" are still a big concern, especially if we used this as an energy medium in the grand scheme. This article states that hydrogen gas has around 11x the greenhouse potential compared to carbon dioxide. Also, as far as safety goes, you can't visually see a hydrogen fire without thermoptic equipment, so that could make cleanup more difficult.

I used to be really on board with hydrogen and fuel cells but there seems to be more issues that haven't been solved that make this impractical. As far as getting solar generated electricity out of the Sahara, your best bet is to convert to high voltage AC or to move production to the source.

That's because those who followed him all vote by emotion and social pressure. They don't know how to stop, think, and reason for themselves; but they definitely know that trans kids are the reason why the stability of their social security is always in question.

I think equity would be better in all circumstances. Necessities such as food, water, housing, medical needs, and transportation all vary from person to person.

As far as i understand it, equality is a quick and dirty average, but equity addresses individual cases. Equality would be like giving all people the same food rations but equity would be able to factor in dietary restrictions as well as nutrition for different lifestyles.

Kids do dumb things and hopefully learn from their mistakes but I dont think actively planning to shoot up a school is one of those things you can argue as innocuous.

The article doesn't say whether he originally had these thoughts or if it was pressed onto him by his mother. It definitely sounds like he was at the very least encouraged to do extreme violence by his mother and he said himself that he looked up to other shooters and thought he would be famous.

The kid needs some mental health counseling at the very least in my opinion.

Agreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.

The article said that the kid had stuff with Nazi and white supremacy symbols and words on it. I'm pretty sure he's not innocent in any of this.

I'm thinking it's a BMS limitation, where it can only balance x number of cells safely/reliably. Either that, or the way the modules stack might get too physically unstable.

Or it could just be arbitrary limitations; greed.

Don't give them ideas!

Honestly, ever since this execution, I've been against any death penalty. There have been way too many innocent people killed from the death penalty.

Not to mention the numerous issues and the moral quandry of legal murder as a state sanctioned form of punishment.

At the end of the day, what's the ultimate goal of murdering someone on death row? An example for deterrence? Apparently it's not effective any more than a life sentence and you don't have the risk of killing someone who was innocent.

You're right, they aren't perfect but they are better than meat in most cases. If a plants based meat alternative is what it takes for someone to reduce or stop their meat intake then that's a moral improvement in my book.

Unfortunately you should secure your home network with a managed firewall to be sure that any IOT devices don't phone home. It sucks but that's the only way I would recommend using a device you don't fully trust.
