But still… you’re burning hydrocarbons so you end up producing a lot of CO2 which is going straight into the atmosphere. That’s not what I’d call super green.

My summary:

a) It’s pretty toothless and has very little effect in law, and

b) It’s also symbolically important to recognise a highly disadvantaged group of people

I think that means we might as well vote yes because at least it’s a symbolic nod to an inequity. And there’s no reason to vote no because it doesn’t really have any legal effect, let alone downsides.

Bonus conclusion: politicians claiming “it could be interpreted unpredictably by the courts and lead to legal uncertainty” are being disingenuous and we should treat those people with suspicion.

They developed their own vaccine but it was a bit of a dud.

It’s the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn’t know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won’t be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.

There’s a distinction between being cautious and always being at fault. Of course you should always be extra cautious as a rider, but that doesn’t mean it’s your fault if a car flattens you.

NIxon is often quoted. But maybe you’re right and Americans really do regard him as the worst ever.

Nice victim blaming. Most motorcyclist deaths are due to them being hit by cars, but it’s their fault you’re saying?

Sure. But most Americans don’t seem to regard Trump as the worst president ever which boggles my mind. This guy was openly trying to overthrow democracy in America and was engaging in organised criminal activities, and you think there were worse presidents? I mean he was literally trying to overthrow your entire constitution and system of government. Can it get worse than that?

You only have to watch him interacting with his staff in a few videos and you can see that the bullying comes right from the top. That’s not something that’s going to change easily.

I’ve noticed Linus be visibly mean to his employees on camera multiple times and I don’t even watch that much. I figure if that’s what he’s willing to do on camera it’s probably a lot worse off camera.

I mean one studio makes a great game and a bunch of other studios make shitty games… then gamers like the game which is better and want more games to be like that. Traditionally that’s called market forces, not a weapon.

She really was in a sticky situation.

Big investors into his company got burned too.

It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.

Or having Lord as a name - which actually used to be somewhat popular in the US.

Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they’re last sold.

But now you have to charge two things rather than one. Some people would prefer not to have to do that.

But the IEA is a lobby group. It’s not like their numbers have any credibility. Like I said, nuclear is way more expensive by all numbers except fake ones.

LiFePo4 batteries have lower energy density than other Lithium Ion batteries and they’re more expensive. So while they have much longer life your EV running LiFePo4 is going to have shorter range.

That page shows nuclear being way more expensive than photovoltaic solar with batteries, more expensive than wind power and more expensive than coal. So it exactly backs up my point.
