Personally I think the politicians keep arguing about toilets because the solutions to all the *real* issues will not be liked by their rich friends. Politics have become too dependent on money, so politicians are not likely to make decisions that will get them less money. The elephant in the room is that something needs to be done with companies who have become too large and drain too much from the economy but that will never happen under current system.
It's not freedom if you have to keep looking behind your back for the person who will inevitably bite you. It's no wonder America is such a litigious society. You are practically crying out to be screwed over.
For the last five years in my house, TVs have just been large computer monitors. So I don't really care what the TV has, as long as it has an HDMI port, the price is right, and it works out of the box.
From what I see, most apps are designed with a narrow view that comes from how the app's author wanted to use the app. There is no time taken to make the UI more robust so that it works for more people. I just chalked this up to a lot of self-starters making apps as opposed to people with real UI design training.
All work done needs a building permit where I am from. If anything was closed up without having a building permit inspected, then they can ask you to open it up again; doesn't matter how permanent it is. If you buy a home without proper permits here, that is a very stupid thing to do.
Sure it does.. First of all, an engineer has to sign off on an inspection but granted they may be best buds. The building code gives you legal backing against the builder and the engineer if the situation ever comes to light, ever. That's a pretty big deterrent.
It's got to be easier to get an electrical trunk through the mountains than it was to get a pipeline... or a train. When the money is there people figure those things out.
I'm no expert, but I'm practically just guessing that DC would be more expensive to keep going than a pipeline. It's expensive to put a pipeline in but then you can push everything very cheaply through a relatively small set of pumping stations for years and years. The biggest cost is likely related to environmental regulations.
According to https://www.hydro.mb.ca/corpor... , they exported $139 million to the US last year. They expect to export $16 billion in the next twenty years. They have plenty of capacity to go around. The new dam will only add to that capacity. 60-100 years is a long time to manufacture more efficiency into the system. As long as the entities involved are interested in doing so, hydroelectricity looks like it will remain a viable option for awhile.. that means someone needs to pay the cost of it though.
So.. if everyone are to drive EVs, it sounds like someone is going to have to pay for the means to transfer that energy to where it is needed. If it's government, I guess taxes will need to go way up. If it's EV owners, cost of ownership will likely become too high for most people to purchase. It makes me wonder what will happen for the cost of electricity in general, not just EVs.

..and a free hour. Oh your kids were waiting at home to eat the food you were bringing them? Too bad.
No the difference is now there are people sociopathic enough to think they have almost reached it.
This all just sounds so freaking complicated. EV owners insist it is simple, but it almost seems like sea travel by compass and sextant.
Whah?? I've been told by other Tesla owners that a charge takes 1/2 hour tops... you can do it while you step into a mcdonalds!
Your mom is a lot more fun though.
Sounds fine.. as long as they don't start requiring people to connect to the internet, and there is no difference in cost for the 'smarts'

Why would he care? Some people don't like to see more advertisements than they have to.
There are a lot of very nice android media centers.
..says the company who wants us all to connect our TVs to the internet so we can see *their* advertising.

Interested.. So what happens if I am buying the TV for my house in the woods that has no internet?
Isn't capitalism wonderful. So much freedom we have as consumers.
Sure it does.. First of all, an engineer has to sign off on an inspection but granted they may be best buds. The building code gives you legal backing against the builder and the engineer if the situation ever comes to light, ever. That's a pretty big deterrent.
The next TV I buy will have to work out of the box because anyone is clearly nuts to plug one of these things into the internet.
Has there ever been an electric motor designed anywhere that didn't use magnets?
They have robots for that now. Also, cathodics keeps the line from rusting or deteriorating and pressure detection is done from central locations.

I'd tend to think it's because our government is clueless, but if Americans think it's some sort of defiant stance I'll take it!
