the NY "dual fuel" thing is 100% to hide oil production because it makes the DNC look bad. at best you could say they're too incompetent to know when the plants are burning oil or gas. lol what a bunch of shits. the midwest loves wind and the hatred of "green" energy is culture war bullshit started by the DNC that we cant stop.

does anyone know a power bank that can fit in a laptop bag and run a new MBP 16" at 140W? I see some high wattage banks but they're all in form factors that won't fit in a Tumi

During times when natural gas supply is constrained, particularly during the winter, some plants are forced to reduce their output, or shut down entirely, as individual fuel sources become unavailable. Plants with duel-fuel capability, however, are able to switch to a different fuel. The dual-fuel capability of natural gas-fired generators in the New England and New York regions has proven critically important for maintaining grid reliability, particularly during cold weather events that create increased demand for both natural gas and electricity.

to be fair, the problem is solved perfectly by preventing anyone in the EU from accessing your website. you're not doing business with them, and they can't engage with your service in a way that would be counter to eu laws or regulations, easy peasy problem solved.

Asymmetric POSTer posted:no idea, i just wanted to make a Seinfeld reference right but that’s not a case of enforcing a judgement on an entity that had nothing to do with the foreign state that sued them, it very specifically hinged on the technicality of “you represented yourself in court against them, so you accepted their jurisdiction over you”
