That seems tangential. There is nothing particularly wrong with non competes if the worker is properly compensated. I personally wouldn’t mind a 6 month NY hedge fund style gardening leave each time I switch to a different job.

I don’t think that’s true: https://www.nowtricity.com/country/germany/ Of course of we look at yearly figures getting rid of nuclear and increasing coal usage after the start of the war didn’t really help.

On the whole solar is massively more practical in the US than Germany. Northernmost most point in the continental US is about on the same latitude as as the southern most parts of Germany. In much of Europe solar is pretty much useless duri

That was only possible because of coal plants. If that’s unavoidable I’m sure most French people prefer that’s burned in Germany rather than France.

So you’re certain that a wolf would easily kill an Caucasian Shepherd or a Great Pyrenees? Because I’m not and a wolf would have to be extremely desperate to try. Anyway if wolves were starving there are other issues in the ecosystem that n

I’m sorry, are you trolling? I told you it had a positive effect on the whole ecosystem and that human hunters can’t replicate that (I won’t waste time describing this here just for you to ignore it, you can read it up)

Somebody has kill deer to avoid overpopulation. Humans kill deer for sport, wolves kill to eat them. Also wolves have a very positive effect on the ecosystem as whole. Just look up what happened in Yellowstone (of course you won’t)..

So let’s destroy all natural ecosystems and turn everything into farmland, managed forests or parks? Also (unless your comment is sarcasm/trolling) you do know that somebody has to kill those deer anyway (why is it any better if humans

The cost of getting one is what? I have a 22kW CCS charger at home and it is seems perfectly fine.

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
Where I am (Eastern Europe) the cost difference is insignificant. There is no reason to not get triphasic for new detached/semi-detached houses.

Why would you consciously pick 7kW over 20+ just because of a sleeker connector? > What was the problem again Why would I want to wait for more than I have to? e.g. I forgot to charge during the night and need to go on a trip in a few h
