Do you have a citation for your subsidy figures? I'd like to see if they include externalised costs, wars etc. Not to mention that we are looking at electricity, not gasoline.
Aside from the expense of trying to build such a complex device and supply/maintain it on an island, the extreme weather is probably more than anyone can certify a nuclear plant for anyway.
Why bother spending more on a nuclear plant and running and decommissioning costs when you can just build a cheaper, cleaner wind farm? The wind farm won't need subsidies either, and the energy will be cheaper. Much cheaper.
It's the same for fashion items. Brands are not interchangeable. Apple phones are an example that nerds might be familiar with. There are loads of other phones but people want an Apple specifically and won't just buy whatever is easily available.
You are citing the producer's t-shirt as evidence?
When did Luke get beaten up by Ray? What movie were you watching?
Ray basically failed in that movie, she didn't convince Luke to do all that much and couldn't turn Ren from the dark side either. In fact Ren used her to make himself supreme leader. Some Mary Sue.
How quickly you forget the original trilogy. It's always been the evil faceless Storm Troopers, the cute and native Ewoks struggling against the technologically advanced invaders, the immortal bounty hunter and slave owner getting their just rewards...
Anyway, those scenes served an important purpose. They set up the last film, the new rebellion made up of the oppressed who can see the injustice around them.
I read the decision and it's because Amazon uses the misspellings to sell counterfeit shoes. Amazon can't sell the real ones themselves, everything on there is fake and they refuse to police third party sellers.
The CDC decided not to use certain words in their funding report, because those words might trigger members of the government. Instead they used euphemisms. The words included things like "transgender".
These facts are not in dispute. You are trying to dispute the use of the word "ban", arguing that it is instead self censorship due to the potential triggering which is somehow functionally different and/or not as bad.
It's a good job it was only 500 bucks. If it had been 5 million people would be suing for emotional distress. Imagine thinking you had won, only to be told "sorry glitch".
Note that it was not posted by MsMash. Also, it doesn't claim that electricity in Germany is cheap, you made that up too. All it says is that some big consumers (industries) were paid to use energy for a while, which is 100% true.
Block lists have been tried and don't work. They are too easy to circumvent and don't deal with viral posts well. Every user has to build their own from scratch, or if someone shares their list it gets instantly condemned. Then you end up with shitty "internet security" products promising to automate the block list for you, and failing.
From Facebook's point of view they want people to have a good experience. Telling them that they have to manually block the bullshit isn't exactly a great marketing strategy. As we have seen on Twitter where they do have block lists, they are ineffective anyway.
Since Disney took over every film has been good. At least critics and moviegoers like them, I'll give you that the internet outrage crowd who have a financial interest in being upset were less happy.
There are plenty of crap cash-in movies these days, but Star Wars ain't one of them.
Maybe you missed the story earlier, but every other manufacturer has denied doing it.
The only one that had this issue was Google, and they replaced every affected Nexus 6P for free.
If the battery is properly sized then by the time it becomes an issue the user will have replaced it because 1 hour of use per charge is inadequate. It's the size of the cathode that matters.
Other manufacturers manage to make thin, waterproof phones with batteries that are not soldered or glued in, and where the back of the phone can be removed with only moderate effort in a way that doesn't damage anything.
Since all batteries are consumable, all phones will eventually need new ones.
Since most phones, including the iPhone, can barely go a day of typical use, and this only gets worse as the battery degrades, a daily 80% cycle is a reasonable requirement.
It's a design defect. In Europe they might be legally required to give free battery replacement because of that.
When designing a phone you need to calculate and then measure to confirm the maximum current draw. You then select a battery that can meet your requirement for its entire useful life (which the international standards bodies define at 80% remaining capacity).
Apple failed to do this. The undersized the battery and caused the phone to malfunction, even though the overall capacity of the battery was above the 80% threshold. Fixing it by crippling performance is not a fix, it's a money saving cover-up designed to save Apple from a massive recall.
It's the voltage drop that causes the reboot. Battery voltage is dependent on load, i.e. the amount of current being drawn. As more current is drawn, the voltage drops. Even in new, healthy batteries.
In older batteries the voltage drop is larger. Of it gets too low, the phone's system-on-chip automatically enters reset state to protect itself. Low voltage can result in things like failed flash memory writes. There is also a lower limit below which the voltage regulators don't work.
In Europe it's usual for any company offering a private postal service to have to accept the universal mandate, i.e. deliver everywhere for the same price.
I guess it raises prices slightly but it's like universal telephone/broadband/water/electric service.
That unrestricted nature is exactly why Usenet isn't popular. The spam got really bad before it wasn't popular enough to spam any more. In fact, such things lead to the creation of the.moderated groups.
More over, if Facebook wants to make money it can't be 4chan. In fact, even 4chan can't have no rules at all, and even with bans on things like child porn and GamerGate they still can't make enough money to keep the site afloat.
There are places on Tor and Freenet where you can say anything. It's unreasonable to compare Facebook to them.
The limiting factor in how much power can be supplied is usually the physical layout of the battery. In particular the size of the cathode. Because Apple want physically small batteries they selected marginal batteries.
Can you state specifically which sentences are inaccurate? It seems to be correct, there is a list and it did come from Trump's administration. It was later clarified by the CDC that the ban is only on the budget reports for Congress. CNN reported that too.

Obligatory XKCD, although it only goes back 22k years:

Perhaps the GP can post some data from earlier where there is a sudden spike like we saw in the last century.

Don't feed the trolls. There is a clear definition of Nazi, no need to argue about it. Anyone who doesn't understand it is being obtuse.
Actual Nazis are easy to identify by the swastikas and 1488 chants. No need to over-think it.
So you would prefer that people can just post what they like and others deal with it... Except "left wing troll" stories that upset you.

Facebook doesn't seem to have any particular political bias. TFA says they removed a comment stating "men are trash", for example.
Follow the link to CNN and read the story. It includes that quote and others.
Both statements are true, it just took some time for the full facts to come out.
So why did you get it wrong? Didn't read the article before condemning it?
