Based on the overwhelming Apple bias of comments here I did not expect to see that Android was 70% of the market and iPhone was 27% of the market, with iOS also declining ~3% recently. I personally love my Android device and using my iPad i

I don't think that the Mongols are proof of the opposite, as evidenced by the fact that they, like "world conquerors" before them like Alexander the Great, failed to colonize the places they conquered, and those places largel

So, in order to exploit and pillage colonies, you need to already be so overwhelmingly more powerful and rich than they that you can colonize them. Otherwise, you're just warring with your neighbors (does anyone say the Norse colonized

Splitting it by Democratic/Republican is a bit of a trick because nearly all urban areas are Democratic and nearly all rural areas are Republican. So talking about "Republican run urban areas" is a bit of an inside joke, Repu

For the record people were making "MMO's" as hobby or academic projects many decades ago. The earliest MMOs were text based multi-user dungeons and folks were programming them by themselves and running them on university hard

For the record, the combined E.U. GDP in 2021 was $17.1 trillion USD, while the U.S. GDP in 2021 was $20.94 trillion USD. Even so, U.S. military spending is $768 billion or ~3.7% of GDP, while E.U. spending was around $220 billion in 2020,

Wind generation slumped 30% in 2021 due to the minor detail of the wind being unpredictable and unreliable and they had to make up for the deficit through hydrocarbon. Sure, saying "gas" which is more peaker power plants instead o

The number I quoted is from the same Wikipedia article on LCOE that you used, and I used a globalized average as I said in my post. Your $50MWh also does not include storage LCOE, and not including secondary costs for solar when Nuclear has

by criley2 5y ago
The LCOE for utility scale solar is around $68/MWh while new nuclear is $88/MWh. The LCOE for grid storage of power (necessary addition to solar) is $160/MWh. Double solar with grid storage is as much as $300/MWh at the

Solar and wind are not and likely will never be "wholly up to the task" unless you install about 4X as much as you need, which is quite the tall order and certainly changes the numbers. You might say "solar is cheaper per MW

It's strange that you say "why on earth would I change my party affiliation based on the actions of two members" as if those two members weren't the two highest elected members of the state party. It's like if the C

It's not overblown all across America where the omicron wave did once again force ICU to capacity and cause the cancellation of non-emergency care across the country. Herd immunity by vaccination is the only way to protect society with

This is a classic slippery slope argument. Losing weight is not the same thing as a pandemic like this. The two-fold reason that these measures are taken is A) over-filling of hospitals and shut-down of all non-emergency services and B) ext

The Apple of gaming is Valve/Steam. They make hardware and run a leading app distribution service while overall operating as a pricier minority of the industry.

SpaceX sounds pretty nasty to work for. Long hours, machismo/sexist culture, aggressive management, and certainly not the best pay you can find. He's probably happy where he is.

Gas is not for baseload generation, it's for peaker power. The idea of using gas for baseload is extremely cost prohibitive, you'll be paying double price for your power. You have it totally backwards: the reliability of coal and

by criley2 5y ago
This is sadly wishful thinking. The unreliability of solar and wind plus the state of modern batteries means that nuclear and coal are still better choices for large scale baseload generation. One factor people don't consider is reliab

This is literally anti-vax propaganda, and a shameful one at that. The Pfizer vaccine has saved millions of lives. This community has gone downhill. Ironic that I am called out for calling someone "anti-vax", too.

by criley2 5y ago
This is false. The current vaccine still makes one about 60x less likely to die of covid than being unvaccinated. It's ineffective at preventing infection to omicron, but highly effective at preventing death.
