Don't live in the US, but you'd probably have to pay me to be seen driving one of those. I can afford not to and dignity has a price

Why didn't he start the war when the Baltics joined Nato and surrounded Kaliningrad?

How about when we hear that treaty negotiations require the wholesale destruction of the enabling Nazi infrastructure in Ukraine

Are there demands for anyone to stand trial for genocide in the Hague as part of the treaty?

Nah, it's all about land

Wonder what his name is

Yeah, what does she mean by that? Is she trying to draw a contrast between the competing narratives?

Nah, its just a tax DOGE

I think the biggest issues is access to heat and permeability of the rock containing the heat. According to Google the earth's temp rises by 25°C for every km down, so you'd probably want to go at least 4 km down to get enough heat to boil water (in my experience, it isn't 25 degrees hotter 1km down, but you get the idea. ) your also need to consider the pressure of the water and the heat you might lose as you lose pressure coming back up.

You also need to create a circuit where you pump cool water in one end and hot the other. So you can frack the rock like in a gas well, but that can cause seismicity and affect the local hydrogeology which other industries and the towns may rely on. This would enable the water to pass through the rock to soak up the heat.

I guess you'd also need a supply of water as you'd doubtless lose some water as it passes through the circuit, though I'm not sure what the retention losses are actually like and would depend heavily on the local geology

That's actually pretty hard... slate is a lightly metamorphosed shale. Without looking too much into it, I'd say the most obvious thing would be the prominence of the foliation in the slate would be fading away

Finland is way lower than I expected and they apparently have the best primary and secondary education systems outside of the East Asian countries
