    Bush and the Congress in general certainly did commit the single most successful act of terrorism in recent history. I'm not sure how showing ID would have prevented that though. T…

    That's so sad in the "land of the free" Do you have to show photo ID when filling up with gas within 100 miles of the border?

    Supermarkets pay more than that and while aren't exactly cushy, they aren't as bad as the reported warehouse conditions of an amazon factory.

    This does work today at grid scale, people use their home batteries (either on wheels or not) to charge/discharge to the grid in the UK all the time. If someone builds that storage…

    In Europe you have EU261, which if the flight is significantly delayed (hours rather than minutes) means you get several hundered euros in compensation. The exact delay and amount …
