Please stop beating the Russian horse. Occam's Razor argues that either there is a deeply clandestine and inexplicably state backed multi-million dollar effort from Russia to sway american elections for an equally inexplicable reason, or, just maybe, hillary clinton was a turd of a candidate that rigged her own primary, had no tenable domestic or foreign policy outside the Harlem Shake, and spoke divisively against blue collar americans, and rarely if ever campaigned in their states on issues they cared about.
...or just maybe, that's a false dichotomy and multi-causal phenomena actually exist, like everyone knows they do except you.
1) There was not sufficient evidence of intent. 2) We don't actually know who sent what exactly, because Comey's testimony is too vague. 3) She changed her email retention policy before any subpoenas, it's not her fault if the provider screwed up 4) The Gowdy video, seriously? You trust a document forger? No that's whole thing is a shell game trying to say Clinton said things she didn't by willfully misinterpreting her words.
A sufficiently random, sufficiently large audit of a subsection of the vote should be sufficient to catch election fraud 90+% of the time, which would be an adequate deterrent (if the random audit fails, more audits up to and including a full recount as needed.) That would save significantly on the costs.
A lady named Kathy Dopp spends a good amount of time figuring out precisely how large an audit is needed to provide X% chance of catching a fraud, under a variety of circumstances. If you like statistics it's a fun problem.
We don't even do mandatory random audits in some states, though.
I'd like to see it looked into, but unlike you I won't propagandize on some fantasy of what the results say. I just think statistically significant routine random audits should be performed as a matter of course, and am interested in the academic side of things.
The Clinton campaign has to walk a fine line here because as a stakeholder, they are the people in a position to petition to get the audits done should it involve the courts. They are damned if they do, because it may be the case (depending on the laws in said states) that they have to talk out two sides of their mouth, saying they think the recount might change something to the courts, so they have grounds, but saying it won't to the public so as not to create a commotion. They are damned if they don't, by people like you (I'd point out if there was shenanigans in the primary it is just as likely Republicans thought Bernie was more of a challenge in the general than Clinton, and they did the deed.) Also die-hards in the party won't like it if they do not pursue this.
We can't look to Trump to ask for a recount, as he has nothing to gain from it (i.e. he lost nothing) and thus may lack legal standing. If one of the third parties can say that this could tip them from having met the threshold for ballot access in that state for future elections, they could initiate the recount (Nader made his campaign useful in this respect ISTR at points in the past.)
it doesn't have _any_ beneficial proven effects if taken internally
...for a strict definition of "proven", yes... there are benefits being researched due to preliminary evidence, as well as potential hazards with preliminary evidence. As with most plant products, there are a lot of chemicals in there and removing the most harmful or properly dosing the ones that are harmful at high quantity but beneficial at lower quantities is one of those things stuck in limbo between the people with an irrational distrust of "chemicals" and those with a healthy but sometimes overbearing distrust of the claims made by supplement producer/naturalists, with only a handful of scientists in the middle making progress on understanding it.
Well, given the solar array is 1.4Mw and the 6M of batteries have "3 days" emergency runtime, their usual daily depth of discharge is likely to be well under 40%.
OIA expects direct cost savings in avoided diesel fuel is about $238,000 per year and the project began last year.
But, TFA says the batteries are 6MWh not 600KWh, which does not match a 10KWh x 60 figure. This must be the 100KWh powerwall... so have to go find the price for that. Though, at a remote location it will be higher installed, and best to find the total project cost from govt docs.
Betting on the price of replacement batteries going down is probably as safe or a safer bet than betting on the price of fossil fuel to remain stable over an entire decade.
It has always been a question of degree, from the beginning of time. And yet, some people seem to do just fine with that, while others spend their life savings on a disaster bunker full of gold-plated special edition coins and freeze dried yams.
Whenever I find myself spending a lot of time coding compatibility so a closed source OS will work, I do feel the spring being sucked out of my step for prolonging the lifetime of said closed source product by improving its usefulness.
Right. Fermented and upgraded on site, you'd get methane. It's my understanding that C14 and H3 are not major causes for concern at this site, except right near the reactor area... otherwise we'd be rather panicked over 1000 square miles of evaporation and biological decomposition.
In fact, using a closed loop biogen system has been proposed for dealing with the radioactive forests in the exclusion zone before a wildfire releases the radionuclides uncontrollably.
When the fossil fuel dividends finally start to dry up due to more and more competitive renewables, so will much of the yelling fade. The only ones left will be the poor tools who were zealots without getting paid for it.
but really. I can't think of one person I came into contact within months prior to the election who didn't already know who they were voting for and nothing was going to change their minds.
How do you think they got that way? You'd be surprised how much of this recalcitrance can be linked back to some bullshit they read a year ago, believed at the time, never figured out was patently false, and then mentally digested and forgot the details of, leaving only the aftertaste of "X sucks". Basically the "fuss" is just many people deciding that this ongoing problem evidenced by polls showing absurd numbers of people believing absurd, easily falsifiable "facts" is something they are fed up with, and since the plurality is effectively shut out of the political process now, we might as well work on changing something in the private sector.
I, as a consumer of information, welcome the ability to filter out utter crap that wastes my time or tries to con me (thus, wasting my time since I'm no mark, but for my neighbors, possibly causing real problems which ripple out to make my own life more tedious.) Also, as a consumer I value free speech and do not care for having things filtered for political agendas. The "fake news" conversation is one I welcome, because it may inspire better mechanisms by which misinformation and disinformation is easily discredited. At the same time, I hate those who would misuse the conversation to either spread more misinformation or limit helpful free speech -- be they asshat conservatives, or China. (Not that China does not have some legitimate cases of damaging utter bullshit they can point to, but they've got a track record of going way too far.)

Q.E.D.
Right. Fermented and upgraded on site, you'd get methane. It's my understanding that C14 and H3 are not major causes for concern at this site, except right near the reactor area... otherwise we'd be rather panicked over 1000 square miles of evaporation and biological decomposition.

If it did, we would have heard about it before Trump won.
Sometimes it takes a flashpoint to pop a seething bubble of frustration.
Looks like 1150ish to me. They'll probably save a bit on permitting and security, at least.
Agriculture no F'in way!!
Depends what they are growing. The crop might not even be a food crop... e.g. a biomass fuel feedstock.
I suspect the dubious reasoning in that sentence in the article is either an artifact of translation, or just a journalism fail.
Fake skeptics don't actually disbelieve, they just pretend to for political or financial gain, or amusement.
This is one occasion where I would waste mod points on an AC post, if I had them.
Actually I run both, and no, I don't have a consulting business.
And, all my VPN profiles for getting around the SMTP block are name "fuckcomcast" because I really do not appreciate their shit.
I suspect the flyovers will be one of the more dangerous, goose-steppingest places to be, so no.

Well, one could just feed upgraded biogas into the system.
but really. I can't think of one person I came into contact within months prior to the election who didn't already know who they were voting for and nothing was going to change their minds.
