the narrative spinning the fight between red and blue.

The fight is between Red and Blue. FPTP election systems don't really allow new parties to become relevant — and if a new party did gain relevance, it would fully replace one of the existing parties within very few election cycles.

The point is: You need a Democratic or Republican majority to reform the election system first before the Greens or any other party can become a relevant factor. The US democratic system is older than the democratic systems of most other countries. And it shows.

Obnoxious, but fwiw, "ð" is used in Icelandic for "th".

I know it's a bit of an ask because in terms of taste it's nowhere near an exact replacement for meat or cheese, but tofu is both cheap(ish) and healthy. Unless you have a soy allergy, do incorporate that rather than Impossible et al.s bleeding, complicated protein remixes powered by VC money. (I don't have a hardline stance against vegan meat replacements but when they are too pricey for you there's no reason to buy animal meat.)

Green electricity is both cheaper and much more available. Green H2 is inherently at a price disadvantage compared to green electricity. Unless absolutely unavoidable (as with steel or fertilizer production), why would you use it for anything?

Maybe I am looking at this from too much of a European perspective, i.e. on average, the grid is stronger here than e.g. in the US -- but I don't see going off-grid as a major factor either. If you can, you generally avoid going off-grid intentionally, because it's just extremely expensive. Even if you're planning for natural disasters, I see going with grid-connected, off-grid-capable solar as a much better idea, at least for most of the year.

The global project pipeline is long though, so we should get there.

Quite honestly, I don't see how we will get there with green hydrogen, at least in the next decade. Portable hydrogen tanks are a good thing, but they won't solve all that many real-life issues.

So is this a response to Vaultwarden becoming more popular?

(As an aside: One of the reasons I trusted a semi-proprietary hosted app like Bitwarden at all was that Vaultwarden exists, theoretically allowing me to move there if necessary.)

All of that seems correct, except WWII was actually before the Hamburg flood of 1962. Also, Germany doesn't have any Bass Pro Shops either, so there are in fact no pyramids.

I like how the text weasels around having to mention the name of "The famous explorer and former director of the USGS". The Egyptians are a nice touch too.

Rite of way

I think the word they're looking for is "passage", it's called a "rite of passage".

Probably a symptom of having quit FB for quite a while, but these totally incongruent background images are fantastic

To the Postmaster General? Isn't that a US federal position?

Eh. Biden can just go out and have 4 of the 9 Supreme Court judges ~~killed~~ institutionalized, right?
