All Li-Ion / LiFePo4 systems use program monitoring: phones, laptops, UPS's, power packs, for charge and discharge. It can't be done analog, not precise enough.

Physical thermal cut-offs are required by CSA/UL/ULC.

Either they were junk or the firmware was bad or both.
No proof either way yet.

False (technicality)
Not "as much" (<=) but "more so." (>).

(Too much query coding lately.)

Considering an above average programmer could create a basic AI framework in a weekend, this is NOT rocket science.

They want to control AI on huge centralized data centres and have humans rely on it.

Magnetometers helped detect expansion zones, seismography helped with subduction zones.
What clinched it was Satellite Laser Ranging, a product of the space race.
This allowed for near real time precise measurement of plate movements.

I expect the technology used to finally prove plate techtonics in the mid 60's was inspired or developed by the space race.

The crushing depths of the oceans are as inhospitable as the vacuum of space.

"I don't care." Is Trump's life mantra.

I can see it if they live in remote communities in Alaska where most of the year the only way to get items in is by air.

It's more than that.
Conspiracy theories flourish in times of upheaval and crisis (Rome to today). Anti-science isn't new either - eg smallpox vaccine. Mistrust in authority during difficult times is expected.
Wrapped all into a maelstrom of social media algorithms as an accelerator, amplifier.

Definitely, but the next time the GOP gets control they will do the same.

US politics, government, and governance needs a complete overhaul. Split head of state and head of government into president and prime minister: semi-presidential like France or ceremonial president like Westminster model.

The alt-right / far right were slowly developing over decades - AfD, ReichsbΓΌrger Plot, GOP/MAGA, UKIP, UK Reform, the Le Pens, Canada Reform/Conservative, etc.

My hypothesis: a mixture of societal fear and COVID induced brain damage accelerated this rightward / pro-conspiracy shift.

As per SCOTUS, Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution for "official acts", criminal and civil.

Even the flimsiest "official act" argument will stand, SCOTUS has his back.

Trump's corrupt DOJ wouldn't prosecute anyway.

Nope.
Simple answer - because we're already at war with the US.

It's a war fought in international trade and finance.

Trump wants a bloodless anschluss rather than a blitzkreig.

Americans overwhelmingly view Canada as an ally / friend. That's a tough nut to crack.

This isn't complicated.
The goods are duty/tax exempt for indigenous status holders only.
If the goods are traded to non-status persons they are no longer exempt. Duties/taxes are payable. To bypass payment of duties and taxes - that's smuggling.

Yeah ... no.
What they'll end up with is an enclaved free trade zone.
Goods can enter and move about in the zone.
It just moves the border, it doesn't bypass or eliminate it under current legislation.
