Is that actually why RARBG was taken down? Because their notice did not mention that. The only reasons I’ve heard have been deaths, health issues/Covid, and the war in Ukraine

Privatization nearly almost always is more expensive because there is the inherent profit/return on investment that doesn’t exist in public infrastructure

Public infrastructure does not need to make a profit, its there to provide a service not make money. USPS delivers to remote addresses no one else’s will on route that will never make money.

Deferring maintenance, focusing on how to make the most per dollar spent, making your workers lives terrible, ignoring safety. Here is how that works in American railways: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jNkYNjADoZg And why t

Public infrastructure doesn’t need to make a profit, that should never be the goal. It should be to deliver good reliable service/results at a consistent price. That is often at odds with “making profit” either from over hiring so ther

You fire all the admin and start from scratch with the teachers and kids. Teachers want to teach and do a good jobs generally but are prevented from doing so by admin/policies that set them up to fail

Just means the rich kids get a much better education then the poor ones which is a country failing at education. Not to mention in time you’ll just get charter school mega corps that don’t have too compete. private prisons are not Goverment

if you think privatizing the school system is going to fix it, i suggest you look at other instances of privatization (prisons for instance, or utilities in many states and provincies) and see how that went.

I don't think schools should be privately run, it often brings a profit motive to schools and that bring with it all sorts of negative outcomes and corruption. You can see how poorly that goes with private prisons and american healthca

The solution is to fix public schools not fund charter schools. That’s a failing of the Goverment more then anything else.

it also comes with an expiry date and will need to be replaced once the coating wears off. stainless steel cookware (or cast iron if taken care of) will last forever

Given the tendency for Elon to lie and “just one more year” for things to come out and then when they do they are a shadow of what’s promised I’ll believe any of that when it’s actually for sale. As for using it for casual camping who cares

This is not what the GP was talking about and a standard model 3, which is less then half the price of the car they described, it’s still luxury priced and until this year? Was about double the average American car price. I would sincerely

There is no way the cyber truck will compete with any actual offroad truck. It doesn’t have the clearance or departure angles or anything you’d want while offroading. It’s clearly made to stay on pavement unlike the rivian truck.

> (1724) is no more or less arbitrary than C (1742). Pick the temperature of two things and divide into 100 parts. F is basically 2 random guesses at what 0 and 100 should be. C is the difference between water freezing and boiling /

you are the one making claims like "the 0F to 100F scale matches human senses" not me. I am only pointing out that on both sides of the scale it is exceeded. Now you are moving the goal post to limit it to weather? every walk on h

I’m pretty sure fighting the elements to survive includes knowing when and how close one is to water freezing, and water boiling. So I’ve yet to hear a good argument for why Fahrenheit is better here, it does not really “relate to humans”.

by katbyte 3y ago
from the other side: 50F? is that cold or really hot? whats 100? will 0 kill me? i have no idea the numbers are random. 50C? oh that is halfway from frozen to boiling. 5C? water is nearly freezing. 0C its frozen better watch out for ice on

i never said it wasn't arbitrary, i was disputing that they were equally arbitrary and pointing out one is far more sensible and useful.

by katbyte 3y ago
knowing 0 is where water freezes and 100 where it boils sounds like a pretty dang useful scale for humans in all sorts of applications from science to cooking to safety to weather. 0f is what -15? that really doesn't mean anything mean
