What a surprise. The bid the families are backing to win despite not being the highest, is being challenged.

The higher "backup" bid is a company setup by Alex Jones sycophants to maintain control of their propaganda brand, despite the purpose of the entire defamation lawsuit and the reason for it being sold in the first place.

They can go fuck themselves. The reason it is being sold off in the first place is the damage done to the families. Their opinion should have weight, if not outright make the decision of who wins the bid.

I've never heard of Hydro power boiling water. Usually hydro power is natural or pumped storage.

You're just taking water from an upper reservoir and dropping it to a downstream river. Either a naturally-filled reservoir/lake, or a pumped storage reservoir where you use other cheap power during low usage periods to pump that water to a higher reservoir to utilize later. The pump doesn't heat the water, it just moves it uphill to utilize later, like the Taum Sauk Hydroelectric Power Station in Missouri.

They know people will massively overpay for storage. Their entire company history has been severely overcharging for memory and storage space.

I mean the Onion was overshadowed only because real life went off the rails and became a parody of itself.

Nearly all power generation comes down to boiling water to steam which spins a turbine.

I can only think of two common exceptions off the top of my head. Solar is an exception and Hydro power is an exception ironically, that usually uses the vertical difference and gravity to spin the turbine.

14 million isn't something Harris could do on her own. They left because the Dem establishment gave no reason to show they cared about people. While the Republican were saying "it's hard, we'll fix it" the Dems kept insisting "it's actually not that bad".

Obviously the Reps "fix" will be worse, but the Dems just stuck their head in the sand and ignored everything the average American needs to get by on a daily basis. It's why 14 million voters abandoned them. 1 million went to Trump, the other 13 million gave up.

It's almost as anti-technology as about half of the Congress Critters. The ones older than email at least, seems to be the general benchmark for insisting on the old ways.

Not the OP, but I started reading it, and the first sentence is starting the bullshit already.

Conservatives backed Trump by bigger percentages than in 2020.

There were 1 million more votes for Trump than in 2020, while there were 14 million fewer votes for Harris compared to Biden. So while it's technically true it's ignoring the damned elephant in the room. 13 million people didn't sit out this election or switch sides because of Liz Cheney.

If the very first sentence is already this disingenuous, the rest of the article isn't even worth wasting my time.

I never claimed that email or patient portals weren't allowed.

The Supreme Court already told them they can't do that to get Trump on this ballot after he violated the 14th Amendment with his failed insurrection attempt last time. And they went with it. Why would they do this any differently?

The EU is made of individual, sovereign nations with each their own language and culture and political system and laws and regulations.

So are US States. The language is generally going to be the same, but culture, politics, laws and regulations all vary dramatically between US States. Most laws that people deal with in their daily lives are State laws, not Federal.

Most of these countries have very little in common except the fact that they happen to be on the same continent.

You could say the same about a lot of US States. Texas and California are dramatically different and likely wouldn't be in the same grouping if things were being built today.

The only thing that keeps them from being at war with each other is trade. And that's where the EU comes in.

Have you seen the divide between the various US States? Texas 100% would go to war with California if given the chance.

Don't make excuses face reality or else you are as much to blame as them.

Get off your high horse. Attitudes like yours are part of the reason many of those people have decided to just go with the opposite viewpoint. There are a lot of Trump supporters that vote only out of spite, to "get back" at people expressing that type of attitude.

The Republicans just being obstructionists that do the exact opposite of whatever the Democrats plan didn't come out of nowhere. It got them votes. A lot of them.

 

NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.
