And whats the fuel required to haul 30 000 gallon trains of water up 5000 meters ? I estimate 170L per train car just to go up the hill. So about 2500 l just to go up the hill. Or for every ton of lithium requires two tons of diesel just

"EVs are by far the best solution for those vehicles." Thats not obvious to me. Why is that the case? What are the assumptions in your assertion? are you assuming continuous innovations in mtls science? Are you assuming a certain

Abundance doesnt mean its easy or clean to mine. Al is one the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, but extracting it is brutally destructive. Now, you can say the same thing for oil. Sure. But EVs are bad for the environment a

Free42 now has an infinite stack, which makes the 42 much better (I hate 4 level stacks) The DM-42 is an HP-42 clone running free-42. Unfortunately the keyboard is... lets just say that keyboards are hard. So 4 level stack or crap keyboard?

Careful, you stop the clock if you put it to sleep. The clock is not great (large deviations in clock quality), but I like to have all my clocks more or less within 5 min.

This wont help inflation, interest rates are still effectively negative when inflation is considered. What it will do is rise i interest payments on the US sovereign debt very significantly. The US has two options, as far as I can tell. 1.

Tell that to MindGeek. Child porn was an example of something that obviously would get even a paper boy in trouble (as long as he's old enough). There are a lot of things that are illegal, including libel . Section 230 just picked and

The paper boy isnt knowingly distributing, say, child porn magazine. If he were, the. he'd be an accessory. Big Tech does knowingly transport illegal things. If the paper that the paper boy distributing has the occasional libel, then

Unlikely. Rogers is such a terrible internet company I was glad when I moved back to the US got to use American cable companies (as terrible as they are).

Its a bloody nightmare. Anything above $10k triggers a bunch of bureaucracy but the money that causes and therefore to deal with this (lawyers, accountants, etc) is not theirs to keep. They could end up paying thousands in fees, and have to

Move the money to another account so it can't easily be reversed (reversal is not easy, but you're up against Google) You're in a nasty little situation and they're not answering their business phones. You're facing

Ya its a bloody nightmare made worse by Google's wall of impenetrability.

But there are tax implications come April when the taxman wants a cut and Google might only get around to demand its money back a few years from now. Sure you can refile your taxes then, but that will suck

Let me blow your mind: "What happens to the suspensions when you brake" Depends on the suspension!! Earles front suspensions rise on braking, transferring weight to the rear. Its counter intuitive until you realize that the fo

My point was to highlight that even the most pro-pot advocate cannot deny the harm of smoke. Of course marijuana is dumb during pregnancy - we don't even let women eat brie for the remote chance it might cause food poisoning

Inhaling any burnt organic matter is known to be bad for peoples health. Theres a mechanistic explanation for it too: smoking causes incomplete combustion of organic matter creating a soup of volatile organics and slew of carbon particulate

Without a green card don't even think about brining them in. Wait for them to get the green card (it does not take long for parents) Then they'll be eligible for Medicare after a year, I think. Before then its very dicey. Medicare

Bosnia is also majority muslim. Also, consider that a quarter (half?) of Albanians and Kosovaars have left for Germany and other places in non-muslim Europe and are fairly well integrated. How is it that the MEK prefers Albania when Albania

by sbaiddn 4y ago
Albania is very subservient to the US. Pro- US sentiment stretches back to the early 20th century when the Albanian diaspora in the US helped Albania establish her national identity.

Those "refugees", the MEK, are some of the most loathsome terrorists alive today. They belong in front of a firing squad, not a guarded complex in Tirana. Even their supposed ally, the US, considered them terrorists until the neoc

Lets say it costs 100k to reverse engineer a card, drivers, and software (I doubt it will stay on budget, I see how the software industry operates. The Uni will probably get hooked on SaS contract) So now the department is down 100k for a h
