    Why on earth would you feel compelled to educate me about my local politics by pulling up some wiki pages and then refusing to even format your message?

    and,

    And Aloha Aina is the local party I had never heard of before seeing them on the ballot,

    TIL

    And why the fuck would anything in this post indicate RFK might be someone to vote for?

    I don’t know, but it might be saying something about ballot acess laws in Hawaiʻi.

    The theoretical appeal of the Greens is progressivism, not the unfortunate antivax shit that’s glommed onto it.

    fair enough.

    And Aloha Aina is the local party I had never heard of before seeing them on the ballot, which may sound good to you because you know nothing about Hawaii, but is something in the vague realm between nutjob sovereign citizen types and conservatives that can’t bear to be Republicans due to history.

    according to WP:

    According to its website, the Aloha ʻĀina party advocates for a sovereign Hawaiʻi through the framework of hoʻoponopono (“making right what is wrong”), believing the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom to have been an unjust act. It also promotes other Hawaiian values such as Mālama ʻĀina (“taking care of the land”) and Aloha Kānaka (“love and care for the people”).[2]

    These renewables, however, are intermittent sources of power, while data centers need a steady supply to run all the time. The tech companies are currently reliant on the grid whenever the wind isn’t blowing or sun isn’t shining.

    Gee, if only if they could have, say, containers of substances that could hold an electrical charge: perhaps—if you will—a “battery” of such containers.

    2b. wp:Cannabis in China

    (my bold)

    In 1985, the People’s Republic of China joined the Convention on Psychotropic Substances and identified marijuana as a dangerous narcotic drug, and illegal to possess or use it. The penalty for marijuana possession in China is disputed from various sources, but according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments, marijuana smokers shall be detained for 10 to 15 days and fined a maximum of 2,000 yuan.[16][17] However, the cultivation of cannabis for industrial purposes (hemp) has never been prohibited in China.[1]

    On another hand, cannabis seeds have been continuously listed in the Chinese Pharmacopeia[18] and hemp has never been prohibited in the history of the country.[19]
