Wow, you could win Olympic long-jump leaping to conclusions like that. Despite the fact that they specifically talk electronic loads with poor power factor and harmonics, you somehow assume they don't calculate for it themselves? Brilliant deductions sir!
Remember that: 1) They also used an electromechanical meter as comparison 2) There was a huge variation between meters.
Did you know they even use Dihydrogen Monoxide in their "chicken"!!?!? It's used to make concrete and has killed hundreds and thousands of people.
Seriously, the fact that a chemical is used in both bread and yoga mats says precisely zero about how healthy or toxic it is. Everything is a chemical, everything has a toxic threshold, including some essential chemicals like water. Many things that are toxic in large quantities are beneficial or benign in small quantities.
Please refrain from ranting about poisons until you actually understand chemistry and biology. If you don't feel you have the talent for science, then there are some friendly scientists and medical experts who can help you. Just stop getting your advice from David Wolfe and Food Babe.
Of course Apple transfers profits. They do this by one company division charging another division a fictional/unrealistic licensing fee, causing the worldwide retail branches to see higher costs and be less profitable, whilst the Irish licensing branch becomes more profitable.
The fact that the Irish branch barely employs any people and is largely just a convenient IP holder makes this even more blatant.
Australia refuses to invest in solar and instead wants to build more "clean coal" plants, at nearly double the all-in cost of renewables. Their lobbyist must give great headjobs.
Very little of modern web pages is static HTML. That's just the scaffolding. Most of it is arguably javascript (running in a sandbox) that generates client side HTML on the fly.
Vaccines use an dead or weakened version of the virus so that your immune system can generate a response in relative safety. The doses are small but significant. Other components in the dose such as preservative are also non-zero but below harmful levels.
Homeopathy uses such incredibly dilute solutions that there is statistically zero molecules of the active component in any tablet, or even a truckload of tablets. They claim that the water contains a "memory" of the substance, but there is no known physical phenomenon or scientific basis for this claim.
So, immune system having a memory to actual virus particles = real. Water having a memory to practically zero particles = woofuckery.
No, because most people are grossly uninformed, and unable to grasp statistical risks. If their actions only affected themselves it would be fine, but an unvaccinated population endangers others.
Seriously, why do we have such an issue following the advice of peer reviewed experts these days?
1) Electricity providers charge both flat rate access fees, and per kWH usage, but the access fees don't truly cover the cost of the network. When usage goes down they are left short.
2) Many electricity providers took advantage of a government scheme to build excess capacity in to the network, and charge users for it. In some cases whole substations were built and sat around unused. Now that people are using less or going off grid, they are left with expensive underutilised capital.
The funny thing is, the more they try to claw back and/or raise fees, the easier it is to economically justify going off grid. They are shooting themselves in the foot.
What's rarely mentioned in the media summaries is that when the EmDrive moves, the field in the microwave cavity gets consumed and you have to spend energy to replenish it. This makes it ideal for station keeping (or hover cars) where you just need to provide a balancing force.
Anyway, there is no free lunch here and energy is still being conserved. It's only momentum that is in question.
The main textural components in chocolate come from the cocoa mass and cocoa butter.
Creaminess comes from particle size, and the cocoa mass (and sugar) spends hours and hours in conching mills to get it around 20-30 micron. The mixed chocolate then spends a long time in tempering circuits to promote the right crystal size in cocoa butter fatty acids.
Super/Ultra capacitors are not so simple, and share things in common with batteries.
Their total capacitance comes though a combination of 1) Double layer Capacitance - separation of charge in a Helmholtz double layer between the plate surface and the liquid electrolyte, and 2) Pseudocapacitance - electrochemical storage by redox reactions at the electrode surface. This is very battery like.
Fly ash is a cheap supplement and *partial* substitute for Portland Cement. It's only cheap because it's a waste material. Portland cement is itself made from limestone, completely independantly of coal power.
Concrete can and regularly is made without any fly ash.
So its OK for single molecules like salt or sugar, to create and lift flavours, but not unami?
Have you tried meat or eggs without salt? Deserts without sugar? While only being one flavour, they lift the entire dish, exactly the same as unami can.
solar cells are only useful on south-facing slopes
That's old school thinking when panels were ultra expensive.
East and west facing panels can still generate 70 to 80% of the power of south facing panels, but they shift their peak production into the morning/afternoon - which happens to match residential demands well. By having all three - east, south and west, you get a longer generation profile and reduced battery requirements which is a great financial benefit.
Even north facing panels arent terrible and can generate 40 to 60% of a south facing panel in full sun, and this margin reduces on cloudy days where they receive scattered light.. The economics are marginal though and it's probably only viable with the cheapest of panels.
non-matching tiles on the north-facing slope of the roof
SolarCity & Tesla have already though of this and offer pattern matched non-solar tiles.
I leave my phone near the bed and use it as an alarm. It sits on a phone stand so that I can read it, so replacing that with a wireless Qi charging base takes up no more space. It's super freaking convenient and works great.
Better yet, I'm not wearing out the USB plug with hundreds of matings.
The car is not compliant, that's why they are offering returns & payouts. It makes no difference if people care about compliance or not, it is legally required to be compliant in order to be on the road, period.
Then, if people choose to get a fix they will be left with a car that is less powerful, because that's how the cheat mode worked. People will end up with a worse car than they bought, and that's why they are offering compensation payments.
But don't let the facts get in the way of a whinge!
Not really convinced this is a "serious" platform for home automation - turning on Hue lights or playing music via voice command is hipster cool, but where is the deep support for real physical infrastructure:
- X10 and Zwave lighting - Thermostats of all varieties, including the dumb kind - Infrared, with support for both regular home theatre gear AND wall mounted air conditioners. - Curtain / blind controllers and aircon zone controllers - Relay contact outputs - Energy monitoring and trending
Then, what about all of the rules that make Home Automation automated?

Your argument will become valid when someone sells you a year long trip to space.
In the mean time it's a frikin article on a frikin free website, so an approximation for convenience is perfectly reasonable.
Comprehension fail. The last sentence says that this Zelda breaks away from that tired formula.

No wonder Australia is falling behind too.
They basically are already.

You are completely and utterly wrong.
Vaccines use an dead or weakened version of the virus so that your immune system can generate a response in relative safety. The doses are small but significant. Other components in the dose such as preservative are also non-zero but below harmful levels.
Homeopathy uses such incredibly dilute solutions that there is statistically zero molecules of the active component in any tablet, or even a truckload of tablets.

Water having a memory to practically zero particles = woofuckery.
The solar core is also very, very hot.
Solar could theoretically damage the environment by capturing too much energy from the sun.
Wow! That is staggeringly, breathtakingly wrong on so many levels. Do you even science, bro?
And not based on their own personal choice?
No, because most people are grossly uninformed, and unable to grasp statistical risks. If their actions only affected themselves it would be fine, but an unvaccinated population endangers others.
Seriously, why do we have such an issue following the advice of peer reviewed experts these days?
In Australia it's because of two main issues:
1) Electricity providers charge both flat rate access fees, and per kWH usage, but the access fees don't truly cover the cost of the network. When usage goes down they are left short.
2) Many electricity providers took advantage of a government scheme to build excess capacity in to the network, and charge users for it. In some cases whole substations were built and sat around unused. Now that people are using less or going off grid, they are left with expensive underutilised capital.

Someone still has to clean the machine, which has lots of moving parts to get fouled and crevices for bacteria to live in.
Sure, it doesn't use it's phone while it poops, but you wont eliminate contamination.
Do you think that 2 years jail when no crime has actually been committed is appropriate though?
Sure, target him for treatment, counselling and intervention programs, but the actions taken seem like a really slippery slope to though crime.

Never mind the dozens of people shot with blasters.
So, you're complaining because the movie content fits the rating, but you didn't understand the ratings until you went and double checked?
I'm really not sure how this is Disney's fault, and the fact that you want to see them punished reflects poorly on you.
