    Ideally there are no harmful combustion byproducts when used in ICE, the reality is probably less harmful combustion byproducts, not none Hydrogen is lossy, Conversions being inefficient, Molecules small enough to migrate from containment, Embrittlement of pipes & tanks
    3 or more times the infrastructure per watt delivered, a huge investment in resources
    I suppose if there is excess generating capacity, hydrogen could be used as a storage medium for night time

    I vote for the candidate that would do the least harm for the most people, just like I always do, nearly always the Dem

    I believe there is a mandate Since the largest group of voters did not vote, they apparently thought everything was fine the way it was They passively voted for the Status Quo There is a clear Mandate for the Status Quo! Winning by less than 1% & losing seats in the house is no mandate to become a Monarchy, to be ruled by Royal decree

    Making it all seem like shyt is the GOPux brand
    Proving government incompetent by their actions

    The Dems keep running on We Suck Less!

    In general we would rather critique the bad faith arguments of conservatives than talk about policy, which is mind numbingly boring…

    As long as the donor class calls the tune it’s gonna continue Third Way, Neo Liberal…

    I got an email from Meta a couple of days ago about an account I had been locked out of for a several years, after logging out, trying to recover my password, which they wouldn’t allow without me providing a copy of my drivers license, which wasn’t going to be possible, since I made up all the details other than the throw away gmail account
    I had been restricted & banned for posting meme’s or trolling magats on several occasions prior…

    I’m guessing, there was a mass unlocking of previously blocked accounts

    No We have several systems find waste, fraud & abuse
    Inspector General
    Government Accounting Office Office of Management & Budget
    All of which are routinely ignored by both houses of Congress
    If a mandate actually existed the Congress would have no problem actually doing their job & writing some law
    It’s no coincidence that every system Elmo is hacking is investigating illegal activity within his companies/government contracts
    Another tell tale sign is that DoD, the traditional home of waste, fraud & abuse isn’t the primary target

    Moderation for adults is gonna be tough
    Who is going to submit to being under someone else’s control
    There are lots of tools available
    All require discipline to use consistently

    I have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
    No notifications on the desktop, Three hidden panels: Time/calendar/weather, Launchers, Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray Different browser & email for different tasks
    Virtual desktops Money, doctors, work
    Music, books, games [no email or browser] News, critique of peoples opinions,
    Forums & sites I’m testing, repair info, linux stuff

    All the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
    If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it “belongs”
    Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on
