Excited to hear what Ossoff does with this bevy of rich source material including, but not limited to: - JD texting teens - JD pretending to be more Catholic than the pope - JD yearning for the anti-democratic worldview of Mencius Moldbug

Let's say it is Ossoff as part of a Dem trifecta. We're to believe Canada and the EU would refuse to cooperate with him? Hell no, they'll be fawning all over him to do everything in their power to restore strong economic ties. (Unless they fall into their own version of fascism in the meantime!)

70% recovery leaves a lot of work to reach their goal of 99%+. Whatever the actual number, they'll need to import water, which means they'll be adding water to the site I guess? There are some closed-loop competitors entering the space, so we'll see if they get traction.

Wow that's quite a list.
(b)  The term “bulk-power system electric equipment” means items used in bulk-power system substations, control rooms, or power generating stations, including reactors; capacitors; substation transformers; utility-scale and other grid-connected inverters; battery energy storage systems; and uninterruptible power supply systems supporting critical infrastructure, current coupling capacitors, large generators, small generators, backup generators, substation voltage regulators, shunt capacitor equipment, automatic circuit reclosers, instrument transformers, coupling capacity voltage transformers, protective relaying, metering equipment, high voltage circuit breakers, generation turbines, industrial control systems (including remote terminal units, programmable logic controllers, and intelligent electronic devices), distributed control systems, and safety instrumented systems.  In determining whether equipment is within the scope of this order, agencies also may consider associated software and firmware, remote access capabilities, lifecycle maintenance and update mechanisms, and other supply chain dependencies that could present an unacceptable risk to the bulk-power system.  Items not included in the preceding list or that have broader application beyond the bulk-power system unrelated to the national security concerns identified in this order are outside the scope of this order.

Always good to remind ourselves of Cippola's five laws. I think these folks went so far down the horseshoe they ended up creating mutual gains for themselves and others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M...
"The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" (1976)

The second essay, "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" ("Le leggi fondamentali della stupidità umana", 1976), explores the controversial subject of stupidity.

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
