You should do a cost comparison between buying a house between 2008-2020 and now. Selling your house would lead to a massive increase in living expenses. It would need to be truly desperate.

It sounds like we’re experiencing the same things then. The only difference is that I accept the choices of others, even if I disagree with them, whereas you believe you know better and would like to force your beliefs on others. If 95% of

My experience is different. Local people care about things like schools and traffic in a way that those outside the immediate area don’t. A local example: the state of NJ built a small bridge over a creek a few year back that now allows dri

I’ve seen a lot of complaints about this. I would love some insights into the author’s intentions, though. Why did they choose binary distribution? They must have had a reason.

At least you can search Apple Music. What are you supposed to search for when looking for X in the App Store? X X?

Something about the story doesn’t add up. Plenty of places use single-color vinyl tiles. Why did the contractor so urgently need a pattern to put on the floor?

That’s not the tldr at all. The real tldr is steel roof and river stones instead of shrubbery surrounding the house.

Exactly. Rather than complain, it would make more sense to go use a different platform. I don’t think that was your intended point, though.

I don’t think that definition of traffic would make sense when talking about inter -state highways, for instance, although I wish it would. My commute would be a lot easier!

My point is that to produce hydrogen via electrolysis, you need to input energy. Due to thermodynamics, you can only ever hope to get 0.9 units for each unit of input energy. With fossil fuels, you don’t need to input energy to get them. At

It actually doesn’t have to do with transmission at all. Rather, when you pay for electrolysis, you’re paying for all the energy inputs. When you burn fossil fuels, you’re not paying for any of the energy inputs (hundreds of millions of yea

Presumably you’re not reading Jurassic Park as a self-help book, but if you are, then yes, you’re probably a dinosaur.

It might be more efficient in terms of raw power inputs, but in cold climates using methane is still way cheaper at current prices.

I’ll be blunt. Montana has self-determinism, which is one of the key principals of our form of government. They don’t need to do anything they don’t want to do. Life is about compromise. If you want something from them, you need to be willi

Interesting. According to the article, it seems like the biggest complaint was that Mongo was a for-profit company and couldn’t be trusted? I agree that for-profit companies can’t be trusted, but I’m not sure I agree with the statement “tha

Isn’t that the same thing as a cargo cult? The key shared similarity is that neither religious people nor cargo cultists understand how their desired goal works (a good afterlife or cargo respectively). Both groups believe they can obtain t

I feel like I’m repeating myself here. GDP in Madagascar declined by 3% during the time in question. That’s a pretty big decline in a very short amount of time. During the GFC, GDP in the US contracted by 4.2% over two years, for reference.

No one is claiming that Coke’s revenue and Madagascar GDP are perfectly correlated. The claim was that the cessation of all vanilla buying from Coke caused a demand shock that harmed the economy in Madagascar. The data does not disqualify t

Lol ok, I’ll take your word for it over the WSJ. Also, aren’t you kind of ignoring that GDP greatly increased after Coke reverted back to the original formula (1986 GDP was 4.35B, up over 14% from 85)? In either case, your original “smell t

Actually Coke would have resumed buying vanilla in 85 because that’s when New Coke was discontinued. I think it’s hard to say exactly what Coke’s buying of vanilla looked like as it likely relied heavily on futures and just-in-time manufact

Was the WSJ article credible? “All I found is an article in one of the world’s premier news publications” doesn’t match your implied tone.
