Fun fact: the alleged perp a progressive democrat politically. By his own words, he may have lit the fires because he's upset that Trump didn't "mea culpa" being a jerk and evil! Quoting the alleged arsonist himself: “

I don't do Netflix so my solution is to never start! Never will become a customer and honestly with their woke, there's nothing of value anyway!

The "engagement level" actually agrees with Price's Law: "The square root of the number of people in a domain do 50% of the work." Since SMEs have been declining since 2000 onward, Price's Law would say that as

If you charge every night, 1000 cycles is about 3 years. Then they have to be replaced. And there STILL ISN'T any system or process for recycling lithium (lab only, nothing deployed or near to deployment for 5-10 years best case). Par

And where is the energy to be jammed into those transmission lines going to come from. That is a zero-sum question. You can't get electricity for free or by magic. And especially not the baseline. What power sources actually could e

At what point do other picture types become surveilled? Maybe if you take pictures of Trump signs... Maybe if you take pictures of Red states... Maybe if you take pictures of cis relationships... Maybe if you happen to be male and white and

Doctors tend to be shockingly "analytic" and siloed in how they approach things. Easily 99% in my experience. Problem: the human body is a system rather than a "bag of parts"! If they know bones, everything is caused b

Yes. It's the same throughout East Asia excepting China. I lived in Taiwan for several years and 7-11, Family Mart, et al. pretty much are the one-stop-shop that the internet tries to be here in America. But it does it far better. *

I think you still have a point however. What is objectively true vs. what is subjectively understood and expected from "Green" as an ideology, are generation two completely different things. Expectations are unreasonable in the la

Glyphosate doesn't kill humans like it does plants but it does alter human physiology. It causes cell walls to become permeably all over the body. That includes intestines (some suspect IBS and may be linked to it), the blood-brain b

Mostly agree but the release of "Tank Inkjet" printers has radically changed the economics. You ARE an idiot if you still own or buy an ink cartridge-based inkjet printer. But yes, I go with both B/W and color laser printers
