Nuclear power isn't renewable because the fuel is spent, it cannot be renewed.
Arguably, breeder reactors do renew the fuel.
And solar is just nuclear power with the reactor fueled at the beginning of the solar system (and yes, it will run out...eventually;-p) and stored 150 gigameters away...
As life expectancy goes down, the possibility that social security will work goes up. The less people who can claim the benefits means more money to fewer survivors. Grim, but it's the truth.
According to the article I read, the main cause of the drop is an increase in suicide and drug overdoses among the young. Which means fewer people pumping money into the system, without much corresponding drop in the people drawing out of the system. So I'd expect the opposite results...
Social Security pays out less than you paid in until you reach around age 81. The average person lives until 78.
Hmm, quickly checks some actuarial tables provided by SSA...
If you live to 69 (when you should start collecting SSA - yes, you can collect sooner, but shouldn't unless you must), then your life expectancy is another 17.2 years (if a woman), or 15.0 (if a man).
My father is 85. He's expected to live another 5.9 years. My mother is 80, now expecting another 9.6 years....
Note that those numbers were good as of 2015. They're probably higher now.
That average lifespan of 78 is AT BIRTH. Yeah, it's actually a pretty good estimate well past 40, but it I expect that the average/.'er has a life expectancy well past 78 and change....
Sure, everyone could handle a 10% tax very easily. Oh unless you're super rich, then you need a tax cut.
Bad news: yes, everyone buying an iPhone could afford a 10% tax on it. It's not like the 10% is on everything you buy if you own an iPhone. Nor is it retroactive if you already own an iPhone....
So, worst case if you use iPhones: you pay an extra hundred or so for it, however often you buy a new phone. Which really shouldn't be more often than every three or four years, unless, of course, you're rich....
How about using a different kind of cattle for feed?
How about not caring? Cattle-produced methane is doing absolutely nothing to AGW, which is all about releasing all that fossilized carbon from 100 or so megayears back into the atmosphere. Cows turning plants into methane (plants take carbon from atmosphere, cows put it back into atmosphere) is irrelevant.
Now, it might be argued that cows are a special case, and they produce much more methane than other herbivores. Or not. If we dispense with cows, some wild animal will still be farting into the atmosphere....
Please stop with the nuclear power plants. They're too expensive to build and take a long time to build as they almost always go way over the estimated time.
The price of (and time required to build) nuclear plants is greatly increased by the lawsuits by anti-nuke hysterics that start flying as soon as a new nuke plant is proposed.
As opposed to ugly unique? Normally, "unique" does not require modifiers other than "nearly" - "nearly unique" might make sense. But not "pretty unique".
Also, are you using a sample size of one solar system for your "pretty unique" analysis? If you are, you might want to consider the evidence that Mars had liquid water (and may still, underground), and several moons have liquid water under the surface. Hardly unique, even in this solar system....
BUT SX does not have the safety level of Boeing or NASA
Hmm, having a hard time coming up with a list of lives lost as a result of SpaceX launches, to compare to the list of lives lost as a result of Boeing and/or NASA activities.
So, would you share your list of Proof Positive That SpaceX is Unsafe items?
For example, private snow clearers don't want to go down to pavement because it costs them too much to blades so you end up with a layer of slick ice over the pavement.
Sounds like you weren't paying them enough for them to replace blades as needed.
Just curious, what was your city's budget for clearing snow before they went private? And how much are they paying the private company(s) to do the job?
What matters is whether Classified information is being sent over unsecured links.
No, what matters is whether a law has been broken. Hillary broke the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which required that everything she did go through government servers so it was available under the FOIA.
If Ivanka did the same thing (caveat: I don't know whether the FOIA required her to restrict her emails to government servers for preservation, as Hillary's were (Note that Hillary was a Cabinet Officer - Ivanka isn't, but while that might be relevant, it might not)), then Ivanka was just as wrong.
Now, arguably, the law was stupid. I happen to like the notion of holding the government accountable, which is harder to do if they're allowed to do things in secret, but that's just me. But while the law exists, it is binding on everyone, Rep, Dem, or Independent....
How does a "military background" demonstrate an ability to jump out of an airliner?
My father put 25 years in the Army. I think he may have done Jump School before I was born. Maybe. Probably not, but it's possible.
I was in the Navy. As was my brother. Neither of us ever got farther off the ground than the top of the Sail, except to fly as passengers on a civilian airliner across the Atlantic.
So, while an Air Force background might suggest an ability to skydive (most Air Force types never get in the air, except to be passengers on a civilian airliner across the Atlantic or Pacific), Navy background suggests no such thing (unless you're a Navy Pilot)....
So taxes simply need to be high enough on those products to cover medical expense. So basically buy a pack of fags a day and the company that provides them should cover you health insurance.
No, the company that provides them doesn't pay the taxes. The person who BUYS them pays the taxes. So, buy a pack of fags a day, and you have paid enough to cover your eventual medical expenses....
but the velocity needed to not fall down again, and that velocity is parallel to the earth's surface.
Umm, no. Escape speed, in any direction other than straight at the ground, is enough to make sure you never fall down again (on Earth, if you're above terrestrial escape speed, and pointed at Jupiter...).
Now, if you're talking sub-escape speeds, you're substantially correct....
I find myself curious as to how the Governor of Wisconsin expects to get drug costs down.
It's not like he can force drug companies to give him lower prices due to the massive market that Wisconsin represents. A stupid cap on drug prices in Wisconsin will just cause drug companies to shrug and stop selling there....

What was the other 4.4%? That only adds up to 95.6....

If the waist is part of it, then try a larger belt perhaps?
Or maybe suspenders, if you want to take the pressure off the waist entirely....
Oh? A couple hundred deaths due to nuclear power in all of history, and it's not safe?
We lost more than a hundred times as many people to last year's flu than we have lost due to nuclear accidents since, well, we've had nuclear power.
Hell, New York City had more traffic fatalities last year than nuclear power has caused in all of history....

Except more nuclear power, of course. Solar is great. Wind power is great. Nuclear is still "te debhil!!"
This in spite of the fact that New York City had more traffic fatalities last year than nuclear power has killed in all of history....

Unlikely. If it cost more to build houses there, they'd just charge more for the houses. Or not build them at all....
Thank you. When I saw "reigns", I thought I was going to have to explain it yet again.
FYI, editors, you don't appear to be doing your job when silly shit like this gets past you regularly.
And, FYI submitters, you don't look smarter by using phrases that you don't understand....
Have you tried this in New Orleans? 35C and 95% humidity is just ideal for biking, amiright?
Of course, that's only a problem seven or eight months a year, so maybe it would work for you....
Yeppers. So, what's going to happen to Salesforce when they lose ~25% of their net income to this tax?
Or are they carefully set up to not actually have to pay this tax?
Complement.
Using slang doesn't imply stupid and/or ignorant, but not being able to spell does....

Not to nitpick...
Okay, to nitpick - "revolve", not "rotate"....
