  Amber Heard who is, ironically, defended for her case of domestic violence against Johnny Depp.

  There’s a lot more nuance to it and both of them suck in the context of Heard vs. Depp, but she physically laid hands on Johnny Depp.

  That’s crazy. I never would’ve guessed. Did you also know solar panels have a theoretical limit of 33%, which is diminished even more when sunlight is further blocked? Wow! That means they’re horribly inefficient and even more so when less light comes in! Who knew! So really we’re talking about pennies on the dollar at the end of the day when something like supplying a grid at a larger level would mean nuclear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wholeheartedly agree with that. Doesn’t seem like anyone is though unfortunately.

  That is excellent and cost effective, however what then when there’s no sun out or it’s cloudy? Will you not travel?

  Wind turbines can’t meet the energy demand of the infrastructure unfortunately. Nuclear is the most feasible option however, with the exception of France, no country has really committed to an energy source that can adequately support charging all these batteries albeit oil, natural gas, renewable energy etc. Oil and natural gas still continue to be the cheapest

  Right. And how many countries currently use or are planning to use this In a large scale capacity besides France? Oh yea.

  No need to be a dickhead.

  Not that Trump is right but, how will we charge said batteries…?

  I believe so. I guess a more appropriate one would be Textron since they still make helicopters?

  Damn. I remember seeing a Reddit AMA when I first came across Protonmail some 7-odd years ago with the Protonmail CEO saying something along the lines of “we don’t plan on moving out of Switzerland because other country’s intelligence agencies concern us more than the Swiss intelligence” and I thought that was a good take. Hell, I still do in lieu of everything going on.

  I wonder what happens now that they will be “physically diversifying across Europe”.
