That’s a great observation —the sycophantic nature of ChatGPT can be really offputting when you’re not used to the way the AI writes. Would you like:

Could you elaborate wrt Fedora being a shitshow? It’s my daily driver and I haven’t experienced any kind of instability and (to my knowledge) I have not been compromised.
If one shingle breaks yeah you wouldn’t want to huff it, but realistically dilution would mean the tiny amount released is next to harmless. Asbestos is an extreme occupational hazard for people unlucky enough to have worked with it, but for most extant asbestos material the best practice is to leave in place.
Re: other shapes, they have to be tesselations of repeating regular polygons. I would refuse to call the one on the right a grid:
And this one is right out:
Edit: I have been informed that the Escher tesselation pictured is in fact a grid and am now in a foul mood.
Those transmission losses don’t have immediate health and environmental costs, though, and even discounting those there’ll be conversion losses on both ends (e: for chemical energy carriers) if what we want to get out of it is usable electricity from renewables. Dont take my skepticism for poohpoohing btw, this kind of counterintuitive thinking is one of the more fascinating things about economics. Or maybe I just like to argue :P
I’ll look up the paper, this is an interesting topic.
Pipelines are cheap because we already build a lot of them. We already use them to move multiple products. It’s a somewhat generic technology (which is very impressive, dont get me wrong).
I’d be interested to learn how the capex breaks down for the HVDC lines. Is it labor? Procurement? Those can both be optimized with scale. Expand the qualified workforce and incentivize competition among suppliers. If it’s raw material cost it might be a little harder. I imagine right of way costs are also quite a bit higher owing to the large footprint. But then once you acquire the RoW it stays there in perpetuity. Still, I bet my favorite hat that once you consider the externalities and conversion losses the transmission lines are a clear winner. The electrical grid really only causes fires when its neglected, whereas gas infrastructure leaks constantly.
especially with methanol.

For once ADHD preventing me from completing a migration is a boon, I guess I’ll move back to keepass
Microwave em for 2 seconds. It won’t heat up the metal bits in plastic frames enough to cause damage but it’ll fry an IC.
Every capital improvement project is subject to environmental review and street works have a 95% chance to go over time and over budget. Then the population blames you personally and it’s game over.
You may be more familiar with a tax disc, or registration sticker or a tag. The little foil sticker you put in your car to show you’ve paid your taxes in connection to your car.
