you really need scale for sand batteries to work

Not at all. First, (hot) water batteries are excellent for home heat storage. Sand/dirt is even more storage per volume required, and completely complimentary in sending hot water through it (pipes) to make it hotter. No combustion heat means less air exchanges, and a 300C rock/dirt/sand pit has losses that radiate through house.

1. Is HVAC excluded?
2. Do you have an EV?

With an EV you can have 80%-90% of days covered, and top up with EV. You also get to dump daily surpluses into EV, and you can think of covering winter heating with solar and a heat pump. Easier if you have a fireplace for extreme cold possibility.

Storing heat with fall surpluses is path to get winter heating covered. Heat pump can make hot water very efficiently, and resistance heating can make a pile of dirt 300+C. Radiant floor heating is most efficient because water is distributed around 30C. This means your 90C water volume is 60C effective heat storage that is generated at 600% efficiency in fall, and 300% efficiency in typical UK winter, and your dirt heat storage can be 5x more dense.

A 2nd EV even if not frequently used during the day can be an attractive option, especially if used, and tax credits will go away soon, or have gone away (makes used prices lower) can be much easier than home batteries, and much cheaper if it remains uninsured/unused, and resale value doesn’t go down much because of few miles driven. Where utility service includes a high fixed monthly charge, ($50/month in Toronto), $12000 over 20 years savings creates high incentive to remove electric utility. Gas utility has similar fixed vs variable equation, but for Toronto, heat is somewhat reasonable from high supply on our continent.

Zionism is uses Christofascism as a key new ally. The rapture fantasy is no threat to Zionism because it requires those bribed to push support for Israel as support for end times, will still prefer the bribes to challenging Zionist supremacy later.

The panic over free speech now, is that the Zionist narrative does not want to be that Kirk was killed for being Zionist first rule over US, with Christo/white rhetoric just used to destroy the left’s/normal’s objections to Zionist first rule over America. Zionist rule requires no criticism of Zionist rule, and minions serving Zionism need to control a distracting narrative useful in strengthening Zionist control over the US.

After 9/11, many tv hosts were fired for saying something other the Zionazi “they just hate us for our freedom” narrative. Obviously also, the blame on an Afghani caveman was also sacrosanct. Free speech was always about speech that doesn’t matter being allowed.

They, the strip anyways, are all on wall street (stock exchange) now.

partner country of our choosing

There is genuine freedom to choose the partner country… though

Fine print on the choices: Uganda, Swaziland, or El Salvador.

NV was slightly blue in previous 3 elections, or at least very close. It was close again, but the “no taxes on tips” bribe made Trump win, and the bribe was only made to win NV. LV tip earners total after tax earnings are probably down now.

But Stonk number go up only with ripoff.

great link, and good reason for everyone to stay away.

Canada is extra special though. As airport TSA were assholes before Trump, and there are some new ICE/border horror stories with white Canadians, in addition to the general view that US is a dislikable shithole country now, over unfair tariff extortion.

Can we remove this traitor and actually restore the rule of law?

How. DNC? Which does Israel prefer (DNC will go along with that preference)? If allies bend over for Trump, it’s not DNC that will free them. They don’t even object to that part, and only guillotines from NATO colonies will change DNC perspective. It’s much easier for US to win war against those welcoming invasion, and gaslighting their people restricting speech, than losing wars to blocks that are stronger than US.

China or Russia do not move their red lines. US concerns about TikTok were always exclusively the lack of Zionazi supremacist control over the messaging. This is what is getting “fixed” by buyer group. China will also receive other unrelated trade concessions, though falling short of “normal”, they will do better than “allies” who have no red lines on bending over.

but also wants the foreign experts to piss off after teaching the US citizens how to do their jobs.

It’s worse than this. We will steal your technology and cut you out of your business with our totally not idiocracy workforce, that must swear loyalty to the king to have their jobs. So fuck your business and trust in that our idiocracy will make your US operations execute as you hope.

I’m not speaking for anyone else, just solving OP’s truth with UBI/Freedom dividends as the solution. Free and fair markets are not evil. Complex systems to have random people enslaved to be linemen for a day seem categorically unworkable. A system that ensures enough linemen willing to receive great pay to be linemen is workable.

UBI/Freedom dividends means minarchism power redistribution. People need to be well below idiocracy intelligence to not prefer higher dividend to demonic warmongering budget. I disapprove of ultra centralized allocations, if only that any socialist, or other idealist, win to implement it, in an Israel first fascist media environment, leads to right wing fascist takeover of the centralization. US corrupt political/media system requires disempowerment. UBI/Freedom dividend only election platform is only possibility of ending the corruption. It’s much more important than voting itself.

There’s a Tom Cruise movie of historical value.

specifically are 70b models at 8bit quant, usable at all on 780m?

Huwei and SMIC are iterating too fast. As they get good enough yields on current/last generation, they move up/announce new generations that freeze a bit of demand. I think they are doing this to get good pricing for SMIC and local designs. It doesn’t help that all the Trump sycophants are calling him brilliant for enslaving China to “NVIDIA’s 4th best chips and software stack”.

6000d with 48gb gddr7 at 1100gb/s bandwidth, or just H20s, should be sold to us for cheap if Nvidia can’t sell them. H20 at 96gb and 4tb/s is awesome.

There’s still a price that compares well to multiple 5090s that is more suitable to tasks.

h20 is actually faster than h100 for inference (what most of us would use most of the time) at less than half the price to China.

UBI removes the slavery. If you, or strawman, insists on a labour supremacist society, rather than a shortage of willing linemen, there might be a shortage of employers investing in a working power distribution system. There are many policies in between our current supremacist slavery that eliminate the structural slavery.

You need linemen? Call enough people to train them with promised starting salary when they complete training. Or pay them some salary during training. Or increase the promised starting salary. Enough people will say yes if you keep improving offer.

Your examples are already “good jobs” relative to say roofing (statistically most dangerous occupation).
