Agreed.
I love seeing people post this, because this is actually not the Dunnig Kruger effect.

I mean that part really isn't that hard to EXPLAIN. The military needs stuff. They have few of the stuff. Some of the stuff was promised to a project. The military decided their side project was more important than the other project, so they changed their minds about giving it to the first project.Now to be clear, that's a dumb decision, but not really hard to explain of understand. Just plain, old fashioned dumb.
Who accepts they made an error in this day and age? Careful. This man is a hero.
I did my part!
True, but he seems to be (rightfully) talking down the US and it's actions, and (unfairly) uplifting the Iranian state.
Well, to be fair to him, seems like we've had some bad reactionary stuff happen due to that election.
The buck stops with whoever criticizes Trump, regardless of former praise, accomplishments or skill in executing their job. If you say bad of leader you bad.
It doesn't go down, no. This is a trick.
This. If one kid in a group of 5 says something hateful, and the other 4 are silent you don't have 1 problem. You have 5.
I don't think we shouldn't forget that people can be tricked, or simply be uneducated or genuinely scared, and that bad behaviors in those situations shouldn't be punished with the death penalty. We're all susceptible of being tricked. No one is immune to propaganda, and not everyone who's exposed to it know they are. But everyone who makes the propaganda know what they're doing, and that's why we have to differentiate.
We surely have to be able to differentiate between bad and worse. The footman goes to jail, the mastermind gets the same he designed for his victims.
Oh please. You would never last a full 10 minutes. Hehe.
It seems the strongest way forward for a modern grid is a multi source one. It looks to me like nuclear has a big roll to play, but that wind and solar have big benefits. The UK has put a lot of wind on the grid, and produced 30% of all its electricity last year through wind. Granted, they heat with gas, so the numbers aren't that impressive if you include that, but also noteworthy is they are going to more than double their windproduction in 5 years.
I think you might have nostalgia glasses on for this one. Every now and then someone makes an accessory that allows this, but inevitably it doesn't gain traction. People who try it seem to a large degree find there's a reason it hasn't made a wide comeback.However, you could obviously be in the minority who actually prefers it, in that case I wish for you to get what you want!
I disagree with that being the fundamental principle. What you're describing can be seen both in communism, capitalism AND fascism. It seems possible to be fascistic without being racist, but it also seems that people drawn to fascism also tend to be drawn to racism.
One of the disadvantages of nuclear is you're still reliant on who ever can supply the necessary ore for economical fuel production. As opposed to solar and wind, where only extreme climates are outside of its feasibility. You seemingly can't have only solar and wind large scale systems though, currently, without large scale storage as well, which is a downside.
To be fair, we don't KNOW he's fascist, just that he's racist. But I'm willing to bet he is.
True, but it's used in cars where more people could easily switch to electric than have so far wanted to do so.
In deez nuts
Correct
I agree with you on this, but it seems to me there are two separate issues: A) Is he qualified to make actual judgment calls on cases that are in doubt? No, and he also admits that through his logic if not through his words. B) Is he qualified to cancel grants in simple cases where they are clearly covered by the EO (which is a bad EO)? Yes, but that is because that level of decision making seemingly requires no qualifications other than being able to read.
Congratulations. You are also old.
What you are saying is true, and that was an admission to not being qualified to make personal judgement calls. However, he also says that he cancelled the grant due to it containing DEI-studies in opposition to the EO. The level of decision here doesn't seem to require judgement as far as I understand, it could be done by an Excel formula. "If it contains mentions of DEI and/or LGBTQ, cancel it". I disagree with that being a good thing to do, but it seems like he did what the EO said to do.

What's the fuel cost?
This reminds me of better days.
