That's usually how it works. Current scientists have a lot of time & money & career goals invested in current theories, so they resist the new theories. In the late 1800s scientists fought long-and hard to reject the theory that space was a vacuum (and light had properties of a particle). They kept insisting that space had an "ether" like liquid that allowed light WAVES to propagate, and labeled the vacuum/particle theory to be nonsense.
£117 seems too low. Columbia University says 4.5% of income goes to UK Government healthcare. That's 2600 pounds per month and 31,200 per year. That's really all you earn?
- My income is 140,000 dollars, so I'd be paying $6300 per year for UK Government healthcare. In contrast my PRIVATE insurance is much less.(about half)
It's far more efficient to make hot water "on demand" with a tankless heater, rather than have a hot tank of water sitting somewhere (and gradually releasing its heat back into your cool home).
What costs even more than trees are the Technical Writers who make the manuals. Easier to just lay them off, and not provide any manual.
- Also manuals were mandatory in the 80s. When I turned-on my first Commodore computer, it just sat there and blinked at me. I needed the manual to teach me the BASIC commands.
And subscriptions to magazines like RUN or Compute to learn how to put those commands into useful programs. It was a whole different era that revolved around the printed word.
That's how I learned VHDL and Verilog (though it actually cost $100). One problem is the lack of degree for those using this approach. HR won't look at your resume unless you have that "college sheepskin" to prove qualification.
- And even if you do have a degree, they won't give you the time of day if it's the "wrong" degree. I have an EE, tried dozens of times for a programming job in C++, but my resume never got past HR. (Some even said, "Sorry no, but we have some EE openings we could put you in.") It's kinda like typecasting.
The "risk" of putting an EE in a Software engineer job is too great, so the HR people simply avoid the risk.
The only carmakers to fail emissions were Ford and Honda (circa 2002) and YES they did recall those cars and fix them. They also paid appropriate fines. To say they didn't do recalls smacks of an EXTREME amount of ignorance. Use google; do some damn research.
> there is no car company that did not lie about exhaust
Back in 2002 or so, Ford and Honda cars failed emissions, but that was an honest mistake (the US had introduced new, stricter standards). Both Ford and Honda fixed the mistake immediately. . In contrast Volkswagen KNOWINGLY removed the Urea Equipment that is used to neutralized NOx pollution in all other diesel cars..... and then they designed the software to detect an EPA emissions test, and run the engine in a self-damaging condition to pass that test. (After which it returned to normal operation of emitting upto 40 times the NOx limit.)
This was not a design mistake like Ford and Honda made. This was a deliberate plan to cheat & cover it up..
1 billion was just Phase One. They'd have to spend several billion more to actually Do the project (buy land, buy panels, install panels). - Also "last the rest of their lives"? Solar panels lose efficiency with age.
- They drop to 80% after 25 years, at which point they are meant to be replaced (25 =/= typical human span of 75-to-80). I recall a solar panel I bought in 1985 to power a little toy windmill..... day after day the windmill spun, but after 10 years the panel had degraded to where it lacked the juice to spin.
I had to look-up "egghorn" and discovered all kinds of comical errors:
"eggcorn" instead of acorn. "Mating name" instead of maiden name. "On the spurt of the moment" instead of on the spur of the moment. "Passes mustard" instead of passes muster. "Sammwich" instead of sandwich.
- And since it's Oktoberfest: "Ziggy Zaggy" instead of the actual German phrase Ziche zache.
No. Lawyers have a professional obligation to represent their client, even if they know the client is guilty. (Besides most lawyers make you pay the fees, even if the case is lost.)
The GOP in Maryland got 35.5% popular vote and only 12.5% of the house seats.... which is 23% gap (due to the GOP being gerrymandered out of two of their rural, non-urban seats).
That still exceeds the GOP gap in Wisconsin of just 16.6%.
Maryland is far worse (again using YOUR proposed method).
> Wisconsin has 37.5% democratic seats in spite of the fact that the democrats got [49.75%] of the vote.
I corrected you based on the actual results. So that means the Wisconsin gap between popular vote and seats in the U.S. House is about 12 and a half percent.
The gap in Maryland is 60.4% popular vote for the majority party (DNC) and 7/8 of the seats == 27% gap.
CONCLUSION: Maryland is still "more gerrymandered" than Wisconsin, even if I use your methodology.
If people are allowed to submit this garbage (see below), then I don't see any reason to censor the response (to the garbage)
- E=mc^2 is a sexist equation. "Because it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us. What seems to me to indicate the possible Sexed nature of the equation is not directly its uses by nuclear weapons, rather it is having privileged what goes the fastest."
Also: "The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, we attribute to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids.... From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders"

I've heard Wisconsin is bad, but not as bad as Maryland. Here's the relevant quote: "The districts are among the least geographically compact in the nation."
- There are points in Maryland where the district is only one block wide, in order to reach from 40-mile distant mountains into cities like D.C. or Baltimore (which are Democrat).
Typically solar power is dumped onto the wires, for use by factories during the day...... and then returned to homeowners by the Electric company at night when the solar panel is dark. Few solar users store the energy locally.

Do you realize how dangerous it is to put ALL your information into Google's hands? All it takes is a simple "request for information" request by the government (U.S. or EU or China), and Google hands-over everything they know about you. Which you conveniently provided them.
I prefer to divide my usage across multiple companies, so no one place has my entire browsing history.
I can lay my hand on No part of the U.S. constitution that allows Congress to outlaw a naturally-growing plant. It took an amendment to give them the power to outlaw alcohol, and the same requirement applies to weed.

$2 per gallon. It's hard to justify installing expensive solar panels, when they can just burn gasoline instead.
