@ZeroSum06 I don't for one minute buy that the militaries are merging. That's an antisemite talking point.
As for Saint Fauci, he may wind up spending the rest of his days going back and forth from state courtroom to state courtroom...if he can't get a pardon from each of the governors of the states he's tried in.
@aeva So that's _that_ light-hearted tangent.
Now, finally, on to my actual point.
As alluded to in both of these digressions, I deeply care both about understanding what I am doing, and about being understood.
Often to my detriment. I shouldn't care as much as I do. It's not something I can turn off. And like it or not, it's directly intertwined with my need for human connection.
@jcho Right. Even people who say, "rest is necessary, it's okay to take a moment sometimes!" are closer to getting it, but still missing the point.
As for me, I'm not afraid to show it much, but when I do hesitate it's either because I'm afraid of showing my privilege, or occasionally though not so much anymore I'm afraid of being yelled at. That did happen once on Twitter.
@sbi 28 TWh is a huge amount of electricity. The biggest Germany imported since ... ever? There's a serious shift going on since 2023. There's no need to belittle that point.
As for the 'cheaper' argument: I find that one truly interesting, because I see there an admittance that, apparently, energy production became uncompetitive in Germany. We were promised "too cheap to meter" renewable energy, but Germany finds itself importing, partly from France, because it's cheaper.

Good point.
As #Scaramucci said, how many Scaramuccis will he last?
#Vance seems to be in self-destruct mode, despite having written a bestselling book and being politically experienced.
Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Shadow of a Dead God (Mennik Thorn Book 1) by @patricksamphire, which TO THE AMAZEMENT OF ALL, I not only have but have read! (Just recently.) I enjoyed it quite a bit; it was very reminiscent of early Taltos and Dresden books, which is a good thing. I have at least one of the sequels, so I should get around to that at some point.
As always, feel free to claim one, tell other people about the giveaway, or tell a fascist to fuck off, or any/all of those!
