The common cold is the rectangle, coronaviruses are mostly squares. Lots of coronaviruses are just common cold (even though common colds are also caused by other viruses such as rhinoviruses), but most coronaviruses cause common cold (or more severe upper respiratory infections similar to the common cold like SARS and MERS).
The justification part in the second thing (mutate too quickly -- it's actually that vaccines for one serotype don't transfer to another, and who wants 99+ vaccines for something like the common cold) isn't quite right, but the first part is right enough for most folk models.
Considering Lenin invented concentration camps, took over by backstabbing people he knew were better intentioned than him, and even that black souled shitstain said Stalin was an evil asshat that should never be put in power... They were about as well intentioned as subhumans like Che, who literally just wanted to kill and cause people to suffer, as long as he could find a justification for it.
Yeah, they had "good" intentions, if good intentions meant "intended to commit atrocities on a scale never before imagined."
Cool -- so they invest all of their earnings into infrastructure, then their shareholders fire the C-suite execs, drop ship, and they proceed go bankrupt. Why invest in an energy company that will return no value to you (And 10% return is already low for the industry), when you could invest in an energy company that would?
You've solved CA's energy problem! Now they don't have to worry about having any energy!
I strongly suggest you go read a few books. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell, Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson, and a few other randomly selected Econ/Finance textbooks. Make sure to cover fiduciary requirements of companies, so you don't make yourself look like a clueless pseudo-Marxist yokel next time.
Who said "they didn't have enough money?" They didn't spend their budget in the correct places.
Where's your profit number from? That doesn't line up with any of PGE's financial statements (FY 2017, 2018, or quarterlies from either year) so it seems completely made up.
USPS basically shut down the line between east/west -- Indiana down through Texas. I'm waiting on packages from PA through GA, no updates. Most of the hubs along that line closed up due to snow, so no mail or packages will cross that boundary.
They should change their creed from "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night..." to "We're government employees, did you expect us to do a good job?"
Before you bitch at me dunking on USPS, know that I'm an ex-postal and ex-UPS worker.
So why did they have to get interim permission from the EPA and DOE to run different fuel types? You reference that yourself elsewhere, so you're now unaware.
On own power grid, yes, it is disconnected from neighboring states' grids. "Isn't regulated by the feds," completely 100% unabashedly wrong, with knowledge of facts to the contrary. Why you lying?
Clusterfuck is a very mild term for what's going on there, I agree. What I was referring to specifically, was gov't requirements to spend a certain percentage of utility income on green solutions (With the 2035 "all green" goal). It ends up being around 60% of their total budget. That was a direct cause of that horroble year for wildfires.
It's complicated. Part of it is that .308 has a lower headspace tolerance, and thinner brass than the 7.62 NATO -- firing .308 in some 7.62 chambered rifles (not all -- it's a tolerance that overlaps .308) might cause the brass to expand enough to rupture. It's hard to compare pressure to pressure for the specs because they measure at different points of the case. Yay for different standards.
If you can't chamber a .308 field headspace gauge in your 7.62x51, you should be able to fire .308 out of it. Even then, I would prefer 7.62 to be safe.
Part of the issue is that it's harder to bring power up to too much demand, compared to adding additional power to a slightly overrun grid. This is the reverse of what happened in the NE back in 2003 -- enough power dropped that almost everything in the area was taken down. Once you hit a certain critical low point, it's just going to degenerate really quickly, and make it harder to come back up. The delay asking for that "mother may I" was probably enough to do the same in TX.
CA all the time: rolling blackouts, power company bankrupt from starting fires due to government regulation.
TX only when there's a natural disaster: blackouts. No fires started by power companies.

Are they trans or non-binary? Trans means they choose the opposite in a binary system, non-binary means they reject the choice. You can't be both by definition.
