Reply to Britain breaks 'green grid' record with latest 100 per cent clean power milestone by Wagamaga
>The report acknowledged that some fossil fuel generators were required to stay running in order to provide flexibility and inertia services to grid operator National Grid ESO during the periods when demand was fully met by clean sources of power.
This is a huge caveat. They're basically saying they outsourced all the things that renewables currently don't do very well to other sections of their grid so they could claim 100% renewable.
It's kind of like saying this one town by a wind farm was powered by 100% renewable energy. Not technically incorrect, but very, very misleading.

That was kind of the point. The game itself is... fine, but if we've learned anything from Dommy Mommy, 2-B, or Quiet, just putting a sexy woman in your game is enough to get a following. So putting TWO sexy womans in your game must mean...

Answer: in addition to what others have said, even if everything else were the same, alcohol that tastes bad will generally have a lower demand than alcohol that tastes good, inducing good tasting alcohol to be more expensive, all else equal.

I used to use a clean (never-been-soaped) sponge and hot water, but I recently found out I should be using a metal wire brush and no water, so I'll let you know how that goes after a few months.
You actually want your stone to get a little food dirty. That's the whole point of using a stone. If you want it to get clean clean, then you're better off using a steel plate or something instead.

Nope, he stood fast and refused to say it. Jackson mocked him for it, but they moved on

Reminds me of when Samuel L Jackson challenged an interviewer to say the N word, pretending that there would be no outside-the-interview consequences and that because he was black, he could "ok" the use of the word and nobody could criticize the interviewer for saying it.

That's true; I was getting the 100W limit from the press release but that's not actually in the text anywhere. I wonder why they would put it in the release then

Same goes for USB-C, honestly. Gigabit is more accessible since it's been a standard for longer.

I agree that it's better. My point is not that lighting is good or better than usb-c but that Apple is greedy and will not take this lying down.

As long as it doesn't charge by cable, then they can freely use a lightning cable to transfer files. That just makes the second option more likely.
Or honestly, gigabit is pretty standard now for wireless
ERRORMONSTER t1_irpnjso wrote
I still stand by that Apple won't actually put USB-C on their devices. They'll either force them to charge wirelessly or design a new lightning hyper-charge capable cable that can do 101 watts.
Either of these will exempt them from the EU law and allow for proprietary charging methods (proprietary wireless charging protocol or the lightning 101W connector)
Edit: you're welcome to be mad about it, but like... read the text of the law then point out where I'm wrong and where Apple will happily give up their $4 per lightning connector royalty fee
