A friend and editor I worked with (RIP) went to the NAB show where the first Ampex quad video recorder was rolled out. The host came out and gave a little talk and walked off stage and then monitors all around the room showed him doing it again when he wasn't on stage. Engineers nearly rioted thinking it was a trick.
Then the curtains rolled back and revealed the first Ampex quad video recorder on stage.

Iran approves of the not so bright Jews doing really stupid things in the eyes of Israel's major ally.

Key Adjustments for a More Complete Comparison Intermittency and System Integration Costs:Solar and wind produce only when the sun shines or wind blows (capacity factors often 20–40% vs. 50–90%+ for gas/coal). This requires backup (gas peakers, batteries), overbuilding, transmission upgrades, or curtailment.
Adding short-duration storage (e.g., 4-hour batteries) raises "solar + storage" or "wind + storage" LCOE to ~$44–131/MWh or higher.

At higher penetration (e.g., 30–50%+ of grid), "system LCOE" or integration costs (balancing, grid stability) can add significantly—some analyses show effective costs rising sharply or even exceeding dispatchable sources in "levelized full system cost" (LFSCOE) metrics.

Fossil plants provide on-demand power and grid services (inertia, frequency control) more easily. In low-renewables grids, their LCOE is more directly comparable; in high-renewables scenarios, the system needs firming capacity, raising overall costs.

The left doesn't call it a civil war. They call it their (socialist communist) revolution.

Based on the left's historical habits, they are willing to mass murder opponents too.

Time for Congress to add definition and if that doesn't work amend the Constitution.
ActBlue’s Legal Troubles Are Mounting
Posted by Auburn1968 on 4/21/26 at 10:34 am
ActBlue, the Democrats' primary fundraising platform, is in some serious trouble. Earlier this month, it appeared officials lied to Congress about vetting foreign donations, and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said looking into allegations against ActBlue was a top priority for his DOJ.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced yesterday that he was suing ActBlue for deceiving Americans.

It will be interesting to see what our military does in response to fundamental shift that drone warfare has created. Ukraine does what they think will work and tests it on the battle field while our Pentagon deals with bureaucratic procedures.

TBH, the war seems pretty one sided to me. Yeah, they launch some missiles get some potshots off at private industrial locations across the Gulf, all the meanwhile, we are hammering them relentlessly.
It seems we have pretty much reached the limits of air power alone. There are a lot of jihadist rats out there burrowed into holes who will pop up and murder unarmed protestors at any time.

The only deal that can be trusted with the Islamic Republic is complete regime change.
