  • only really needs to deal with the volatility issue

    H2 is the smallest molecule there is, and among the worst to contain. It’s also quite reactive. And the production of H2 for storage is not wonderfully efficient, nor is the whole lifecycle from production to consumption.

    The only real reason for hydrogen is to repurpose rather than scrapping the existing gasoline supply chain. That benefits nobody but the fossil-fuel companies. And that’s why it’s being endlessly hyped, despite being a profoundly suboptimal solution.







  • Or they’d keep their DDoS device in their embassy and do it from there.

    If such activities are in any way traceable, it might be prudent to preserve deniability by siting them somewhere other than the embassy.

    But having said that, this looks much more like an SMS bot farm, designed for smam’nscam purposes, that caught the Secret Service’s attention because it was being used by someone to obfuscate the origin of threats.

    If the treasonous idiots in the Trump administration hadn’t fired most of the governments cyber-security experts, we might have seen a less hyperbolic, hysterical analysis than what the Secret Squirrel Service has published.

    But as things stand, it’s a bad idea to believe anything the government says, since it is being run by people who are neither competent nor truthful.

    I live in England and own a small (by US standards) fridge. That last head of cabbage has nowhere to hide. You can see everything in a glimpse.

    Which ties in to two broader considerations: we don’t overheat our homes, so you can leave things like butter on the kitchen counter that would be refrigerated in most of the US, and we live in a small, compact city, so anything we need is no more than a 10-minute walk away. So there’s no reason to stock up a huge fridge (though we do have a separate freezer).
