Let’s just ignore the controversial things like cholesterol. Your knees are significantly more likely to work well into old age if you’re active, but not constantly supporting excess weight. Talk to any orthopedic doctor and they will tell

Notably, the 32 panels Carter installed were thermal water heating panels. This means that there was no innovative technology in them, and they represent a technology path that is significantly less space efficient and less useful vs PVs. I

Yeah this is an anonymous forum (which inherently requires a false persona) so it literally can’t be personal. BUT my point is that a common trope here is laundering bad behavior through quotes and revered historical figures - it’s somethin

I wholeheartedly disagree. First of all, that quote was pulled to insult me - it's specifically a quote about individuals' minds, not ideas. That is in fact the one of the strongest criticisms of Emerson - he grounded idea-ba

Well it wouldn't preclude your use of the car (you can still enter it and turn it on), you just can't drive it on public roads (Essentially the entire use-case of moving a vehicle). TSA is at the airport lobby and technically only

I was under the impression that 99.9% of people take their cars out on publicly owned roads when they drive. Am I mistaken?

I'm sympathetic to this point of view, but then we have to be consistent with it. No TSA. No license plate scanners. No fare gates for trains. No locks on doors. No anti-shoplifting tags. EDIT: Is there some Emerson convention in to

Are you doing that cyclical thing where you incorporate the fossil fuels burned in the mining of uranium etc? Would you believe that those are actually hydrocarbon emissions that would be eliminated if we took electrification seriously?

The "trick" here is that he is likely speaking of operational cashflows (i.e. the 'correct' metric for low CAPEX companies). The rub, of course, is that most of the cost for something like Starlink is designing, building

Interesting product - compared to competitors like SecondMeasure, what differentiates your panel/data cleaning approach vs. everyone else (since I assume the data is sourced from the same place as you competitors)?

People have bought into the idea that certain jobs are just bad and therefore only bad workers take them. They then like to imagine that the jobs are OK, as long as they are done by children who will go on to better things. Never mind the

Yeah - honestly the hardest part about having a discourse on homelessness here (or anywhere else). People just need to believe that homeless people are inherently bad in some way. It makes it really hard to discuss solutions, since they

There are plenty on non-IP based movies, targeted at Gen-Z/Alpha, and made by large studios that have underperformed this year. Elemental and Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken immediately come to mind.
