Meanwhile, Putin…

That asshole doesn’t respond to empty threats, only action.

This headline is like saying there was “a big brawl between two neighboring schools” when in reality it was just kids throwing rocks over the fence.

I believe that’s more of a Dalai Lama thing.

I loved the twist ending in Conclave.

Please, do not reply with spoilers.

EDIT: I did this to myself.

The world’s largest religious denomination is Sunni Islam with 22.39% of the world’s population (as of 2020). Catholic Christianity comes in a distant second with 15.88%.

This post deserves Lemmy gold.

That.
is.
so.
fucked.
up.

That’s what we needed to do with MAGA.

Airports are valid military targets. I am sorry that this affects you personally but that doesn’t make this missile attack a terrorist attack.

Furthermore, notice how western media didn’t call this Israeli air strike a terror attack. https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-rebels-airstrikes-sanaa-israel-hamas-war-8f73755ccc47a34261cc041658403b4d

Power company regulations allow for some estimation on a handful of meters, but not that much.

Consumers (retail and commercial) are also entitled to contest their bills so if there is no data then there is no proof.

There are also severe penalties to providers for not uploading their data to the market. For example, a small customer (power company) is penalized $250k per hour for data missing.

How will the power company know how much power they need to purchase from the market if they do not know what their demand is or how it is tracking.

Etc. etc. etc.

EDIT: By “regulations” I meant government regulations.

I don’t understand what you mean.

Don’t worry. If the transmission fails, the meter will try again, and again, and again, and again…

Grid management is currently my business specialisation. I can assure you that maintaining a grid operational is a lot more complex than keeping backup generators at a few key facilities. For example, the smart meters collect data all the time. Even with a power and communication loss, they will continue to collect for a while, storing the data internally. When communication is restored, they will send all their stored data at once. Now multiply that by millions of meters and days of data. The servers are not going to be able to ingest that torrent information. Now, what if the outage was extra long like this one, and the meters ran out of internal storage or charge? How are you going to manage the data gaps?

That’s only meter data. There’s a ton of other systems in play. Very few people realize how delicate and complex power grids are. I can’t speak for Spain, but the US grid is held up by spit, duct tape, brute force and prayers to the old gods. May Cthulhu have mercy on us.

EDIT: Typos

There is a recent update? The paywall cuts it off before I can see too far down, so it seems that I actually am missing something.

I don’t understand why this is being upvoted. This article is almost two months old. I know Carney won. Am I missing something else?

Give him a break. Commiting ethnic cleansing and rampant genocide can be very time consuming and distracting.

Ethnic cleansing.

“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

That was a tall order, but she managed it.

I wanted to type something hopeful uplifting, but that’s just not reality at the moment. I just hope (beg) that some day we can look back at these times and see them as horrors of the past, the way we see the Holocaust during WWII, and not just another Tuesday.
