Trickle down economics were not incoherent, they were a lie. Reagan did not change policy every other week like Trump does.
I do not agree with Reagans policies, but it was far more than just listening more to his advisors, it was also choosing advisors that were actually capable.
So I maintain that Reagans policies were definitely way way more coherent AND consistent than what we see with Trump. And his strategy to pressure Soviet Union actually worked, Soviet Union collapsed because they couldn’t keep up, and their attempt to do it, collapsed their economy.

Reagan also didn’t ruin relations with allies, but he did introduce a lot of policies that are bad for the middle and especially lower income brackets.

Wow that’s pretty cool, I thought M68k series ended with 68060!
I still have an old Amiga 500 that my wife bought for me many years ago, because I never shut up about how superior Amiga was back in the day, and how amazing it was to program M68k assembly direct to hardware on it.

The highest power Amiga I ever had was a 68030 expansion card to an Amiga 2000. Then I stupidly switched to PC, because that was the future. But the PC killed my interest in programming, because it’s only semi open, not open like the Amiga was.

Scotland has the best conditions in Europe to make cheap wind power, and it’s nice that they use the opportunity and do this too. 👍

Which supporting freedom democracy did we support?

You just wrote in past tense, giving me the freedom to use the most obvious example that you are wrong.

Believing the USA was ever a “freedom democracy” supporter is pure delusion.

Here you even use EVER, further legitimizing my point.
You are moving the goal post, and absolutely USA has been helping democracies like for instance South Korea and Taiwan a lot, even Japan could be included in that list. And the formation of NATO to protect democracies against Soviet Union and now Russia is also an example.
Trump is not a NATO supporter, he is on the contrary trying to destroy it. And NATO is absolutely created with the main objective to defend democracies on both sides of the Atlantic.

AFAIK those systems are pretty cheap already, at least they are in Germany AFAIK, and AFAIK all you need is a modern meter.
But from a balcony you will never be self sustained so you can disconnect from the grid.

In their special area they generally do, outside that they are probably like most people with an IQ above 100.

Unfortunately KDE still has serious shortcomings compared to what was possible with Compiz.
For instance hot keys cannot be bound to mouse keys. Which is extremely annoying here 20 years later that it can’t.
Until recently you couldn’t even bind them to numpad keys! Because QT didn’t support it. So it was the same for ALL QT programs.
I like KDE it is a decent desktop, but even today it is not as good as Compiz was 20 years ago.

You are very very wrong.
When they liberated Europe and the world in WW2 from the axis powers together with England, Canada and many other allies, there is no doubt USA supported freedom and democracy. And even granted the conquered countries their freedom.

Price of inverters have plummeted too, we can get way better inverters now at half the price they cost 3 years ago.
The new ones allow you to continue using your battery when the grid power fails, ours doesn’t.

We would be able to get twice the battery and better inverter, and it would still be cheaper if we bought today instead of 3 years ago.
Not a good idea to go off grid here though, because then you can’t sell your surplus power. And you would have to calculate with a pretty high amount of surplus power to have reliable power without the grid.
The calculation may look different where you live, for instance if you have more reliable sun than we have. But we have 3 months per year where we can go days without getting any sun at all. And when the sun is highest, we can only utilize about a fourth the capacity of our panels. So here that is completely hopeless. Maybe with a wind turbine it would be possible, but those are next to impossible to get permission to have unless you live I think 3 km from everybody else. And we have 8 neighbors within 100m.

Yes I know there are many Americans that are very unhappy Trump became President.
And I really really wish you luck next time. But for now your country is unfortunately represented by madness.

There used to be a synergy between supporting freedom democracy and having the economy thrive on it.
USA is now disregarding and throwing overboard everything that made USA the world leader with the most allies of any country ever.

Oh, and these Americans who it is not, are relevant to this how?
you only have 1 government, and that’s the 1 Americans elected, and ALL Americans are part of USA and American civilization.
Meaning that even if they disagree with the government, they are part of the economy, workforce and society the government control.

I sympathize with every American that voted against Trump, and tried to prevent this, and those that have demonstrated against him. But unfortunately it doesn’t change what USA currently is to the rest of the world, and how we need to relate to USA as a country.

Kudos to Scotland for being an early adopter on this.

Buy a big battery and make money doing nothing. 😋
Charge when prices are low, and sell when prices are high.
Just a few of years ago there was no money in this, because the wear on the battery was more expensive than the profits from buying and selling.
But prices have increased a bit since on electricity, and battery prices have dropped a lot, and new batteries can handle way more load cycles. Which is a very significant part of the equation too.

Batteries seem likely to become a lot more part of our green electricity infrastructure in the future. 😎 👍

Well done USA. this is why democracies around the world don’t trust you anymore.
I wonder who Americans will elect next? Maybe J. D. Vance or Pete Hegseth? Unless of course they can find someone even more crazy. 😬

It’s absolutely insane that USA isn’t even moderately on the side of democracy anymore. But instead favor enemies of democracy, and have themselves become an enemy to democracy too.

Piracy literally isn’t stealing, the idea that it is is 100% propaganda.
Piracy is copying things that are copyrighted. And is a copyright infringement. It is not theft or stealing.
With stealing the original owner loses what he had when the thief steals it.
With copying the owner obviously still has ownership and possession of what was copied.

Unchecked capitalism on the other hand is very much stealing, where the rich take from the poor. So the rich have more and the poor have less.

Which is why capitalism needs to be heavily regulated, exactly contrary to widely spread propaganda in USA about deregulation being better for all, when in reality it only benefit the rich.

My guess is you will only have to wait 2 years.

And traffic too, since they’ve begun to require login. I have no idea what they are doing? But it seems to include panicking. 🤣

In any case this is sad. Way to young to go.

Stop whining, in 1985 I paid $400 for 256 kilobyte RAM for my Amiga 1000, AND I WAS HAPPY!
You kids nowadays are spoiled, with 100,000 times more RAM if you have an average build with 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM.
But the Amiga was still more fun than modern computers.

Is it me? Or is it the kids that are wrong?
Hmmm… 🤔 …
It must be the kids. 😋

Yes there was a huge scandal that the glue was wrong, so the panels fell off at high speeds. 🤣🤣🤣
