Pretty sure most solar panels are also sourced from countries that are not aligned with western values, while Australia is one of the largest producers of Uranium ore and nuclear powerplants are built locally.

I'll say that groups on facebook for various interests still seem quite active, but these are more targeted for a shared interest, like espresso machines, rather than a group of people that know each other and are interacting in a grou

Most people in the past and in the current day have none of that and still have children. The most well-developed and stable countries will most of what you laid out have some of the lowest birth rates.

It's still very difficult to raise a baby on your own and even with two people. It will still feel like someone's career is harder to manage with a child, and so I don't think these things are really going to make much differ

Cars with keys only are much easier to steal. You just have to break the physical barrier and and twist the keyhole in the column, for example, rather than dick around with a device. I guess it depends what type of criminal you are.

"Bring manufacturing back to America". Is it possible to build a cell phone in the US? I think we should start more basic and work our way up. For example, there isn't a real reason we can't produce all of our domestic i

I've thought for a while now that it is a matter of national interest that your population couples up and has children. It's immensely important for the success of a nation and it's odd that the majority of how people meet no

The obvious right answer is digitize them and then keep the originals, perhaps in a less easily accessible and potentially cheaper storage location.

Not sure if I agree with the other person, but I believe the point is that it takes more time and money to comply with regulations, which makes it harder to build that software, which means that fewer will do that, which means those that do

Surely you understand that happening to see a woman's nipple is completely different to a 14 year old sitting up at 4am masterbating to whatever intense porn they can get their hands on are two completely different things. And if you t

Much of that "marginal land" originally had animals grazing on it anyway. We have barely more cows in this country now than buffalo at their peak. "Re-wilding" land would just mean we have animals grazing at that we don&

AI tools like GitHub copilot are able to help “give back” to open source because open source developers can use them to be more productive.

Interestingly, in T2, you could destroy the entirety of Cyberdyne's tech by blowing up one building. In our world of cloud computing today, it would be very difficult to even know what to blow up.

It's because owning an android phone will never be fashionable because most don't really care about what's on the phone, they care about the phone itself. The question you should be asking, is why did google never have a viab

The economies of scale for nuclear require far fewer units to have a benefit compared to something like solar panels. Because you aren't building 100s of 1000s of them like you need with solar panels. Just building two identical plants

You're sharing misleading information here. While this is true recently, it's not like France has been consistently short of energy. Typically it's Germany that imports energy from France. "Due to the technical problems

This just seems like a way for someone to say they passed some bill that "helps" climate change, when in reality no-one will actually use it because EV conversions are exceptionally rare and generally high priced. No-one is doing

In my view they see a few benefits. If the "market climate" is layoffs, then they can be much less competitive with offers to any candidates they do want to hire. It's an opportunity to let go a contingent of lower-performing

A quick google search says gay men have cancer rates double or more than straight men, so maybe. The article doesn't mention it so they either don't think it could be linked or wanted to avoid that subject since it would obviously
