This may be due to most of the company CEO's receiving these subsidies don't make a regular point of speaking out against government subsidies. It's not necessarily the subsidy that attracts criticism, it's the hypocris

If you have materials to this effect, please share with the class. Your statement of "lithium ion packs are far more dangerous than gas stoves or general use of electricity" seems a bit far fetched. From casual review, it appears

As many posters are suggesting: Wirecutter is still valid as a comparative source when researching a product, but it's original utility was that it could previously stand alone and accelerate the buying choice. At least some small com

Jokes on them: I'm very happy that slow loading and often useless display has been disabled on page load. It had a bad habit of recommending dozens of shows over five years old A QWLL. That option is staying off forever.

Will be curious to see how this comment ages in a year. I'm of the view that it's Google and Meta that are in trouble here. If they don't want to pay for quality news sources their content continues to noticeably degrade and

Are people truly this lazy? What happened to knowing how to answer questions related to your job? Finding a status update in your area should take seconds -- if it doesn't it suggests you don't have adequate systems in place whic

The line "we are an editor for the consumer" is entirely apt. I go to Lee Valley looking for something that will do the job and is more than likely of good quality. To their credit, they often stock both a mid-range item (e.g. a

Sorry, I ended up reading too much today and left myself with no time to post before boarding a plane. I've bookmarked the page and will revisit it when I'm back home in a few weeks. A quick one, though: Ferry is indeed a verb.

Cheers, I'll check back tomorrow as I needed to get back to work. Glad you found the commentary interesting, if perhaps not overly useful. I've got a thesis paper coming up and this might have given me some research as well. I&#

Thanks for getting in touch! While (of course) you're not being directly paid by the company, it remains puzzling how the article comes off so glossy for TMC and seabed mining. This positive tone is present throughout the article and

At the end of the day, if you don't care enough to participate you are obliged to accept the outcome that results. If you don't like the results, it's time to participate, continue to watch, or pack up.
