In all fairness, the urea systems are really annoying. I was driving a rental vehicle and I got a warning that it was out of urea in the middle of nowhere. I stopped at a gas station which did not have any and the vehicle would not start

You hit the nail on the head. Self checkouts are terrible because they treat every customer as a potential thief.

It is not good for consumers. You buy from a particular seller because you know based on reviews that their item is not counterfeit and then amazon sends you the item from someone else and it is.

The idea of using ski lifts in cities has been around for a while. https://www.wired.com/2012/11/austin-gondola/

I think you need to read your quote again. A productive approach would focus on currency manipulation instead of protectionism.

The US doesn't have nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula. George H W Bush removed them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1991/10/19/u...

That's not how underground nuclear testing works. The bombs are not developed or stored inside the mountain where they test. There would have been no one inside the mountain during the test. The mountain collapsed during the test.

The argument against this is that greening will stop at some point while temperature rise is exponential and greening is already in the models. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newscientist.com/article/21

I am pretty sure they are alienating a lot of their customers by having their employees snoop on their customers' computers. The argument you are making is "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" which is ridi

They are using the Starbucks method and playing the long game. Move into an area, lower prices till the incumbents go out of business then raise prices.
