They mention having to power down the nuke plants in Europe including German(y). The last time I checked, Germany shut down all of its nuclear power plants by decree after Fukushima, so Germany didn't have to shut down a thing. Besides that, since they shut down their nuke plants, they have been buying power from other countries that use nat gas fired plants. Not that I doubt climate change, but when the sky is falling group throws in fake facts, it is understandable why people are sceptical. Ooops, someone cried wolf again.
Having worked on wind turbines for a huge company that is selling itself off piece by piece, their wind turbines have a very expensive yearly service. It is the main shaft bearings for the blade shaft. The blade assy must be removed, bearings pressed out, new ones pressed in and the blade assembly reinstalled. That is a $250,000 in 2010 money. Makes it rather hard to justify the "free" energy.
This is the classic liberal approach to shutting down the cheap labor from overseas. The problem is that they think they are saving money, they will spend more per byte just to ensure the get good code. This is a classical liberal fallacy.
The federal government is the one who decides who can and cannot enter the country, and the Executive branch is tasked with securing the border and enforcing immigration laws.
States may not have to specifically aid the feds for certain things, but they cannot actively interfere with their operations. Doing so makes them active participants in crime. And yes, entering the country illegally is a crime. As is aiding and abetting such criminals.
A politician in CA already did that, she found out ICE was coming in a few days and broadcasted the news to the whole friggin state. If that isn't aiding and abetting, I don't know what is.
Ah yes, had an interview with a company, review went very well. A month later I called and asked where the expense reimbursement check was. They were clueless, Well, here we are 10 YEARS after the interview and I finally got a sorry but letter from them. I won't mention them by name but they make kitchen and clothes washing/drying equipment. All I can say about my email response is that it was truly priceless.
Yes, someone still has a copy of MS Bob, don't be ashamed, it was the most stable version of Windows ever after all. Perhaps that's because Bob hardly did anything. Bringing up Bob is my revenge on the latest Windows 10 update. Yep, all network settings were grenade, so I fixed those. On two machines, after fixing the network settings, after a reboot Windows came up with a safe mode style display 640x480, it never said it was in safe mode and the network stuff still worked. I removed the update and things went back to normal. So, I ask why would any safe mode require 640x480 for safe mode? Displays of that low resolution went away when Leisure Suit Larry got shot in the head!
I still miss my 640x480 amber monochrome Torch monitor, it was a good monitor up until the day it lived up to its name TORCH... set off the smoke detector and torched itself internally to the point the plastic housing melted! After that it was 40 pounds of crap, kinda like the old windows they keep building on... bad foundation.
A neighbor of ours did a great job of dispatching a skunk without stinking up the place. So he tied it into one of the thin white plastic bags and tossed it into the woods. Only one problem, the handles of the bag got caught on a branch too high to reach. So, the bag just hung there for a few days and apparently the smell started to come out of the bag. Our neighborhood had the slight smell of skunk every time we were downwind from that bag.
So that is use #2368 for plastic bags!
Nope, its not the military, they only use it when they are allowed. You are building something for the politicians, they decide when and where they are to be used, they also decide who they sell them to. Remember that ancient sale of F111s the US sent to Iran? Yep, a year later, they were our enemy again!
I once thought building weapons was beneficial for our military, then one day I woke up and realized the weapons were not paid for or bought by the military, we were building weapons for the politicians. Now it is known that politicians only bring up the wellbeing of society for votes, they are all about power over the people and making themselves filthy rich.
So, is it possible to have a killer robot created? Absolutely, the politicians will pay the specialists ridiculous amounts of money, or hold a gun to their head until they get what they want. Even worse, they want it first before another Nation or Dictator gets one first. It is the next cold war event.
The hardware companies are being paid by the software companies so they can write crappier and crappier code that still kinda runs fast. Screw the power curve! Okay, I'm stepping off my conspiracy box now.
How about Gamers buying the fastest most expensive hardware so they can finally beat their buddies by a femto second!
Okay, how about the battery powered / assisted tax bonus being removed. The resulting savings will then be used by the Govt to build charging station out the kazoo! By the way, unlike what some folks believe, gas and diesel powered vehicles do not cause cancer. How do I know? Simple, California hasn't demanded that a caution cancer sticker is put on each tailpipe. Coffee on the other hand is a carcinogen since California could not figure out that it isn't.
Oh. btw, when you are charging your car in green mode, don't forget about the birds that fly through the solar facilities and become flaming streamers! Yep, another carbon distribution point along with killing endangered species!
Yeah, the world Governments want us to go cashless so at a flip of a switch, you have no money! You protest against the Dictator in charge, his spies identify you, or you by accident and cut off all of your money...protest solved.
No unfortunately I've become used to entitled assholes blaming poor people for consuming too much while trying not to look in the mirror.
They seem to follow me around, I just (incorrectly) assumed he was another one.
First off, you assumed incorrectly and made an ass (the first part of assumed) of yourself. We are not talking about rich vs. poor here, we are talking about what corporate entity is doing it, and what government is ignoring it. It is just that simple. If we look at Asia as a whole, NK and China have repeatedly been offenders, but saying it was one of those two based on historical fact would still be an assumption. I could also look at the included map and make the assumption, based on concentration levels of CFC that Hawaii is the source without a doubt, but that would also be an assumption on my part as I do not know the air flow current patterns of the world.
Now, if I show this concentration map to enough imbecilic politicians, they would just bomb the shit out of Hawaii. That, my friend, is how dangerous assumptions can be. At least you realized that your assumption was false and promptly corrected this time.
Well, please tell me the last year that the USPS made money. I think you'll have to go back pre-internet, wait, nope, they had issues in the early 70s where the Union was driving them into the mud, that was followed by layoffs. If the USPS were a private company, they would have been in bankruptcy since the 70's!
I suspect it was paid for by a company in California that only produces LED lights that exclude blue wavelengths. Or, blue is the first color California is attacking so that people with color blindness don't feel left out or embarrassed. Green is next!
78% over 18 years isn't too far off the inflation rate (okay, maybe). We hacked the cord for one reason, it wasn't the cable companies fault, it was the TV shows they were showing. Comedy shows are not comedy if all they are doing it tossing insults of the day. The series don't seem to have a plot whatsoever, it just seems to be Kardashian behavior. I know, I'm a touch dated... I can design logic gates with tubes, but give me a break, no mystery shows other than who fucked Tina, how many times, and who else did her?
Bring back Road Runner... Wyle coyote is my mentor!
Tesla is so focused on the high end product capability they have fast tracked the basics. I have walked into businesses as a contractor, and given the task of fixing their product that was already launched. Invariably, the cause came down to crap like board layout issues, insufficient filtering, and firmware things such as passing a pointer instead of a variable, and of course unused floating inputs. They need to refocus on the details, their algos are probably good, they just missed the basics.
Yep, the universal income experiment in Finland was a complete and total failure and as a result, they have ended it. Are there any experiments out there that have worked?

Please folks call it by it's real name, it is the castle doctrine. Wikipedia covers it quite well.

Then why don't the give up on Jimmy Hoffa? Yards and yards of concrete dug up when we all know he is swimming with the fishes.

Westinghouse got the business, GE is selling itself off like a scrap dealer!
Agile, so Agile, 2 week sprints 14 days of 12 hours work, that brings out the greatest most stable programs. That Scrum guy better run!

Perhaps driving the Tesla is the new Tide Pod challenge for adults! Iffy brakes and high speed are always a challenge!
