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.

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.

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.

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
