  1. It’s too late for that. He may be impeached during his second term though.

  2. We’be been doing that for forty years in the Netherlands and finally other countries see the light.

    One doesnâ(TM)t rule out the other. Fact is that America lives on its own planet as far as its inhabitants are concerned. That is often annoying for the other Earthlings.

    Of course itâ(TM)s fake news. An respectable organisation like NASA would never use Fahrenheit.

    That argument is used everywhere. My parents don't want solar panels because they are too old to reap the profits. Same with an electric car.

    So, time to insulate the houses there.

    That's just Trump's idea of doing good. The man can't help being ignorant about approximately everything.

    You're right, we are greener than the US in terms of CO2 exhaust per capita, but if you look at investment in green energy in €/$ per capita the US does better than we do. At least, that's what I keep hearing.

    They're a big part. Seriously. Our 'extremely clean' country is building an extra airport just for them.

    I people paid the real costs of flying, a lot of problems would be solved. Amsterdam, London and the like would have a LOT less tourists messing up the cities, Uber and Airbnb would go bust and the local would finally get some room to breathe in their own city. Tourists are fine but the maximum number has been crossed a long time ago. Oh, and we also would have an enormous amount less CO2 in the air. Only winners here!

    We have one or two gas powered electricity plants here in the Netherlands that are switched off because coal is cheaper. And we recently (5 years ago or so) switched on a brand new coal powered one.
    Our government keeps telling us that we are the greenest country in Europe and soon we will be world-leading, but reality tells us we do worse than the US.

  15. Re:Sounds like Mobil Oil ... on Apple Store Employees Aren't Allowed To Say 'Crash', 'Bug', or 'Problem' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    At my work I also wasn't allowed to say "problem." We had no problems, we had challenges. "We have a challenge! There's a fire in the building and we must evacuate." Yeah, right.

  16. I wonder which facts support it. I guess none.

  17. Indeed. I never had any of my Apple stuff overheating because of dust, so maybe it's just a maintenance thing. Some facts about the failing of Apple producs vs other manufacturers' stuff because of dust are needed.

  18. Me neither. But you can argue that Apple's obsession with thinness and irrepairability makes them necessary.

  19. That's nothing. One day I was just thinking about something that I not normally think about. Later that day I looked up the YouTube main page and there was a movie about what I thought about in the Recommended section.

  20. I knew that for at least a year, just from experience. I thought it was common knowledge.

  21. Indeed. Non-news at its best. And still here we are, commenting. We do have better things to do.

    I don't know them, and it's not because I don't use Windows. I only see then on websites sometimes, but I take it that is not what is meant here.

    I feel left out.
