It’s even a good bit further west than Vienna.

As a first step wouldn't it be amazing to have multiple user accounts on an iPad that doesn't require MDM. But such technological wonders are but a fantasy.

That’s certainly a more nuanced take than “48% tax rate on income over well above median is wrong”. I too prefer public policy debates that focus on competency and efficiency instead of a variable parameter that doesn’t capture much informa

And how long from proposal to breaking ground? And how many can we build at the same time? Can we find enough sites or extend existing ones enough? What problems will we have with water shortages for cooling? And so on. We are, thankfully,

It already takes longer to build new nuclear starting now than build enough renewable + batteries + transmission starting now. So good news! We don't have to "get there soon", we are there already! We have everything we need

Last I read that was debunked. It was based on one study or article that made a really bad assumption and then it spread. Someone went and did the figures again and it was way off by a few orders of magnitude and in fact only a few uses of
