It's mostly political. The conservatives argue no regulation of any kind is needed because the industry will self-regulate and capture all the leaking methane because it's lost money. (Mysteriously, the methane continues to leak,

Then why are they letting it continue to escape? Proof is in the pudding.

It isn't about mpg, it's about use of space & everything that falls out of that. Less money building roads, parking lots, etc. Sidebar, I wonder how an EV car stacks up to an EV bus.

There probably aren't a lot of people getting cheated, paying a lot in and getting nothing out, because so many people drive, yes. This is a valid point (although the distribution of infrastructure spending may not match the driving).

Marijuana is more states rights vs federal though. Those MJ operations following state law are making a bet on federalism, rather than simply flagrantly ignoring law.

The outliers who really do fine with just a few hours are just that: outliers. Except, people want to believe they are outliers. So no matter how rare you explain that it actually is- well, everybody else is delusional. But me, ME, I rea

Nah, you want to be as fresh as possible when kid arrives. At the beginning, caring for them is a months-long marathon that slowly grinds down your reserves.

Thanks for bringing this up! It can be addressed with warmer LED's, filtered LED, narrow-band LED... trouble is the bulk of the market is at 4K & 5K white balance, so that's the default choice to put in. The good news about LE

In that case, it sounds possibly similar. Tubes are pretty non-invasive, although they can come out which is annoying and you have to wear earplugs when you swim.

So are his eustachian tubes chronically obstructed? My younger brother had chronic ear infections as a kid, and as best I know he basically had tubes in his eardrums for a while, and then when he was older his eustachian tubes started drain

Kinda makes it sound like they've got too much road. Property taxes are only a thousand or three per single family household, I believe.

I don't have a toddler yet, but I do anticipate prohibiting knives for a while. I keep them very sharp; any of my chefs knives could easily remove small digits. Another commentor mentioned nylon knives though, maybe this is an interest

If we're totally screwed then it doesn't matter what we do; so frankly it isn't really worth thinking about. Better to assume we can save ourselves and try, than assume we are doomed and give up.

Wonder if HVDC could increase the viability of nuclear. Colorado, for example, despite plenty of space and nearby uranium mines, doesn't have nuclear- supposedly because there isn't demand for that much power! Nuclear seems to b

Eventually, but for now it's a 50% reduction over coal.

Presumably, Zeno's Paradox will be hard at work. We don't have to remove it all in one go. We just have to remove it faster and faster and faster, as we get closer to the limit (whatever that limit is). This isn't my field, b

The question wasn't cost, as I recall it was basically power-density, longevity, & recharge rates. Ten or fifteen years ago, you couldn't fit enough battery in a car to get a useful range at any cost. That's why the super

I'd put it even simpler. He's betting on uncertain future technologies, where it's completely unclear if the technology he is pursuing will work out. Ten years ago nobody was particularly certain electric cars could ever be f

Then, I guess I have to ask you to be more specific about who is trying to erase that from history. I don't think many people dispute the faith of our founders.

I probably shouldn't bother, but- America was founded by a bunch of Christians, and some of the country's construction surely was influenced by that. However America was NOT founded as a Christian state. Where the left & right

You could always put them somewhere like under a trash can and post a "free" listing on craigslist, or something like that. I do that occasionally with things I don't want to deal with, but don't want to throw away. Even

Centralization has an undeniable fundamental attraction. Everything, really, seems to naturally trend towards centralization, and then major scandals reverse the trend. We will probably swing back and forth between the two in perpetuity. Th

Apparently in a break from the usual, they've at least determined where they will get new revenue to pay for this.

Isn't that mostly because his car, clothes, and house are probably behind the times? A social media platform can grow & evolve, a house built sixty years ago can't much. The things my father owned that are still current are pr

No one has a right to have their mistakes hidden, though certainly we could talk about whether a merciful & forgiving society should forget because it's the right thing to do.

Which is my biggest issue with most mainline coins, I believe they will ultimately incentivize centralization.

Or maybe just go there as a part time low skill worker, so that my whole trip is funded and at the same time I don't have to work more than a few hours a day. I just want the feeling of having lived in Antarctica for a few months. (in
