There is only so much electrical load. By definition, if a larger percentage of the grid's load comes from wind / solar, then less is coming from coal.
It's not like load goes up magically when you add a source of generation - that load was already there and you were in a state of overload, or you now have added capacity.
1. Tax Evasion has an actual legal meaning, and it isn't "they're using legal loopholes to not discover the length, width, and breadth of the fiduciary shaft."
2. How can Apple "buy" laws that predate their existence by several decades?
Wait, so a niche market with way too many players are struggling to turn over inventory when an 800 pound gorilla comes in and is having "their best week yet" (whatever that means)?
Let's see... X total prospective buyers of smart watch thingys, Y Apple Watch purchasers, X - Y = ? leftover purchasers for everyone else.
3rd grade math story problems are hard, and definitely need Slashdot headlines.
Yeah, because the last 8 years of a Democrat president have done so much to help the little guy. You know, with the completely stagnant wage growth while the Dow is at an all-time high, and these nice unemployment numbers that look to be low, but the actual number of people in the labor force also being rather low.
It's great creating millions of new jobs, except for when people need two or three of them in order to get by.
Please understand that today's Democratic Party isn't all that different from the Republican Party. They both bow before the corporate overlord. We're just a bit more efficient now, because one of the corporate overlords took the middle man out and got elected President himself.
Even when Shuttle was flying, they weren't using it for resupply unless they were already going to the ISS for a crew transfer or delivering another module for construction.
Why spend $100M+ sending (and risking) Shuttle on the world's most extravagant DoorDash delivery, when a $40M rocket will do?
Performing a roll maneuver in powered flight before pitching over is stupidly easy to do in comparison to rebuilding your entire launch infrastructure, or having a massively complex mechanical rotating launch pad that will invariably have weight limits and breakdowns.
This is like the opposite of the NASA astronaut pen -vs- Soviet Pencil joke.
They don't use the far more expensive "man-rated" launchers for cargo that doesn't contain people. The resupply missions are scheduled frequently enough that they can lose a few without the people on the ISS having to ration, etc. because booster failure is always a thing.
Usually they don't wait for upper atmosphere for starting the gravity turn - Apollo started the roll and pitch program at 15 seconds into flight, having only cleared the tower 5 seconds before. For altitude reference, the Apollo 11 flight plan has them passing 14,000 feet at 51 seconds into flight.
But you are correct - orbit is mostly not about altitude, rather it's about going fast enough horizontally to continually fall back to Earth and miss.
Which they are free to do, as it is a private system, unless they are banning people based on being members of protected classes under the Civil Rights Act.
The First Amendment only applies to the government, not private entities.
What slippery slope? Private organizations can do whatever they want with private assets as long as it doesn't run afoul of the civil rights act or other discrimination laws.
Ban someone because they are an asshole? Perfectly legal. Ban someone because they are [ $RACE | $SEX | $RELIGION ]? Federal civil suit.
They made a rule change to remove cloture motions specifically from confirmation votes, denying a filibuster for senate confirmations only. Any legislative votes are still subject to the 60-vote cloture motion.
Except that an engine is going to run the compression stroke it is designed for. Adding a high octane fuel doesn't magically change the compression ratio of the engine. And, more octane only means it is more resistant to pre-detonation under compression - it doesn't mean there is any more or less energy available in the fuel, it just prevents high compression engines from "pinging". The one exception is if the engine is so old and filled with carbon deposits that it is over-compressing and pinging, in which case the octane boost will prevent the pre-detonation from being over-compressed.
This is why turbo and supercharged engines need to run premium - they are designed to use higher compression. People putting premium in naturally aspirated engines that don't require it just don't like money, or have been completely misled by marketing that tries to equate octane to "running cleaner".
Yeah, you know what isn't going to happen with any of this partisan bullshit? Amending the Constitution. No way he gets 67 votes in the Senate, and no way 3/4 of the states ratify.
Strangely, the one elected official in federal or state government not involved in amending the constitution is the president - as a 2/3 majority vote is required in both the house and senate, it's already at veto override numbers. Also, it is written and voted on as a joint resolution which never goes to the White House for executive signature.

No, but it's a pretty good statistic to trot out any time the person's candidate of choice doesn't win. It's called moving the goalposts.

You're covered - you said "might".

I agree with the sentiment, but private K-12 does exist.
It, however, should not be the only option. Regressing to the "education system" of the 1800s is a very bad idea.
There has always been a strong correlation between advancements in technology, and advancements in the arts.

Yeah, go ahead and bash the reputable source, rather than refute the actual content. You're a hack.
As it turns out, space is still hard.

Only on senate confirmable appointments, such as the Federal bench.

FDR, Lincoln, Truman, and Jefferson would like to have a word with you.
Except for the Senate filibuster, which the Democrats will have no problem abusing just as much as Republicans did.
Everyone seems to forget about that.
You have a typo - your post should read:
Fake news channel works together with youtube "celebrity."
What the fuck is a "YouTube Star" anyway?
That's pretty interesting. I assume you meant 0.8 in your post above.
Isn't there still a massive import tariff on sugar cane, mostly to make corn ethanol and corn syrup more competitive in the "free" market?
Sounds like Congress is fucking the dog yet again...
Democrats like winning the Iowa Caucus too, especially if they only need to spend more tax money to do it.
