I know it's anecdotal, but my new house was plumbed almost entirely with Pex pipes and push-fit fittings 15 years ago.
In that time, the only thing that has failed is the jointing on the copper shower riser assembly.

Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel has a couple of great videos on the topic of Pantone colour chips and their digital equivalents (including the latest controversy with Abobe suite)

Reply to comment by lughnasadh in The cloud and 5G security apocalypse is only a matter of time, say cybersecurity experts. Western companies that have switched from Huawei for 5G have made choices that are even more vulnerable to hacking. by lughnasadh
> I'm sure Windows, Android, and iOS will still be around in the 2030's, and I'm sure they will have plenty of 5G apps.
This is gibberish. 5G is just a communications protocol like WiFi. 5G is already currently in use on all 3 operating systems you listed.
> None of the three main OS's have any meaningful VR/AR features now.
Utterly false. Almost all AR/VR capabilities currently in existence are implemented in one of these 3 operating systems....alongside 5G.
Your statements make absolutely no sense.

You moved the goalposts pretty substantially there. Your original statement was "You will not be able to ever run 100% renewable with today's technology" When this was proven false, you've narrowed the field to the US, as though the US is the only country that has this problem, and your only point appears to be that the US is bigger than some other places, and that parts of the US don't have much renewable generation yet.
Some forms of renewable energy provide spinning inertia themselves, and as I've pointed out above, spinning inertia can be provided from storage rather than generation. The technology already exists and is in use elsewhere.

> The grid needs spinning inertia to be stable. You will not be able to ever run 100% renewable with today's technology.
This is a solved engineering problem. Synchronous condensers are in use throughout the world for exactly this purpose. Battery storage can also be used to achieve the same effect.

How so? Shark bite's website makes reference to PEX pipes and PEX fittings everywhere...
