Makes sense. He wasn’t bringing them with him. Knowing you were being left behind makes capturing him and trying to trade him to the rebels for amnesty tempting.

Yup I4 is bad but Miami is brutal. In Miami a turn signal is a .25 second warning to get out of the way. (Lifelong central Florida resident)

His party didn’t show preventing the 2/3 of parliament required for the vote to be held. They are planning on trying again Wed.

So if they show up the vote happens and he probably goes down. If they don’t show up they don’t get to vote on anything.

Occasionally in response to things like floods and other disasters. Though then it’s usually local and short lived.

Yeah but what they are going to do is make sure they get those protections back. They aren’t going to get better.

I have it on good authority that Lake Superior never gives up her dead.

Yeah I remember when cmdrtaco was in charge. It was great back then. Now it’s full of anti woke stuff.

In Africa because of the large number of languages they put pictures of what’s in the package on the label. Gerber baby food had some issues when it first sold in Africa.

And it worked before streaming came around. Now cable subscriptions are in free fall and they don’t know what to do.

I made one of those once by accident. I was talking a long extension cord that had been cut in two and converting it into two smaller cords. I messed up and attached the male to the wrong cable.

For hard soil you use a different tool. It’s similar to how you have saws for wood and saws for metal.

When you fill the tube with cement it gets the nickname “Redneck Lockpick”.

Yeah I did an 11.68K system on my house with battery backup for the critical stuff like refrigerator. Cost was 18K for parts, permits, and PE drawings. Me and my wife were able to do all the work except for moving the panels up on the roof. Two friend helped with that task.

40K does loves to grab imagery from old christian imagery for the Imperium.

Don’t forget the side dish.

Original run writers room had a math phd, chemistry phd, and comp sci phd on the team. I think that’s why any of the post cancellation seasons fail to capture the wit of the first run.

$16K in parts, PE drawings and tree removal. With 30% of that back in tax rebate. I did the install myself with help from my wife. 11.64KW DC worth of panels. Anything more than 11.7KW and I would have gone from class 1 to class 2. I didn’t want to deal with all that required.

My degree is in computer engineering and I used to work in power generation so I was very comfortable with the electric design and working with high voltage and current. You might not be so comfortable. A similar system without battery was quoted to me at $24K by an installer.

Battery was about $2K. Tree was $1K. After rebate cost was $11.2K. It’s reduced my power bill by about $210 a month. So about 4.4 years to break even.

It was a lot of work on my end but I know I didn’t cut corners and was very careful to make a system that should last.

Nice. I managed to make my house almost power neutral. It would be power positive but i have a EV.

I’ll add that the sun is a 3rd generation star which are the stars that have planets with lots of heavy atoms like iron and other important to complex chemistry atoms. The sun is thought one of the eariler such stars.

Combine that with it being highly probable that light speed really is the upper limit for the universe. So we are among the first planets likely to be able to support life and and all the others are very far away.

So we are probably among the first batch of life in the galaxy and all the other life is likely very far away. It’s not surprising we haven’t seen any signs of it even though there is probably a fair amount of it out there.
