  • It’s not a given. Some registars can be total dicks about transfers and drag it until expiry, after which they would kindly offer their services of “negotiating a buyout from the owner” (i.e. themselves), asking $100 upfront just for them say some absurdly high price and then hold it on park for a whole year just out of spite if you ever initiated the process.

    Yeah, they do, and get incinerated, unfortunately. A few every day, actually. Which is one of the reasons those never took off. Besides big upfront costs for the tower generator, there are additional costs for maintaining the generator with moving parts, and then for scraping the dead birds off the mirrors to top it off. All just to save a few pennies on mirrors instead of just chucking a bunch of solar panels into a field and mostly forgetting about them.

    part, and not the whole

    “Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together”
