Jupiter is so cool. Fun fact, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a huge storm that has been raging for at least 188 years if not much longer. It also has a diameter about 2-3 times as wide as Earth’s. Jupiter also is believed to be a gravitational

I for one think it would be a good thing for the US if Xi Jinping becomes a dictator. Dictatorships have been proven to be unstable and don't make great decisions. If inaugurated in a period of growth, they tend to stagnate after the o

People: PLEASE STOP recommending depressed people to take psychedelics. There is no such thing as "psychedelic therapy." Psychedelics can easily make people with mental health issues MUCH WORSE. Nobody needs a full blown existenti

I think they mean legal, prescription drugs. Self-medicating or attempting to resolve mental health issues with psychedelic drugs can be very dangerous and make things much worse. I strongly advise individuals to not trust the advice of ran

Eh, that's cheap. A citizen has far less control over their government than a corporation's managers over their treasury or an individual over their own finances. So your argument applies far less to a government than in the other

Who else thinks slowing sales is probably due to a supply glut from low interest rates? I know low rates has meant its prime time to invest in capital goods, especially expensive ones. Perhaps they've sold new planes to everyone who wa

The first thing I notice about this article is that it talks about generation , not consumption. Where is the data on US energy consumption? It's especially odd given that he compares US generation growth to China's consumption g

We will have to see. I was curious about this myself, but amazon does not say categorically when it streams data to the cloud. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=... Note that it says

To add to others, awesome (from a returns perspective) tax structures like MLPs mean that energy infrastructure is heavily subsidized because income generated through MLPs is either not taxed at all or taxed at a very advantageous rate comp

Probably not a great idea. If the internet went down at my work, none of us would be able to do anything, so we'd probably all head out to the polls just because we have nothing better to do. Unintentionally increased turnout.
