Surely this is axiomatic, since the definition of non-renewable indicates there is no way to create more.
However here is your proof.
Let x represent the finite amount of non-renewable energy
Let A represent some non-zero amount of consumption of resource x.
assume: x = x-A
subtract x from both sides
0 = -A
now to make it easier to read
A = -0 = 0
violates the definition of A !
I know, now, that my ex-wife used to make up shit that she would then claim that I said.
I used to think I was insane because I could never remember saying stuff she would claim that I said. Lots of it wouldn't even sound like something I would say, yet she would -supposedly- quote me verbatim.
I have every file from every computer system from every OS upgrade/re-install. In Windows the heirarchy looks like this: C:\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c
Oh, I need that file from 1996? Well duh, it's under C:\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c\old c\stuff\
2001? C:\old c\old c\old c\documents and settings\shakrai\my documents\
Works in Linux too, where it's just/oldroot/oldroot/oldroot/
How idiotic is that.
Why not give them year names or anything/something to help you navigate quickly.
Why struggle with trying to figure out the relative 'old' path. That's just plain dumb.
Actually, it's not how much cocoa solids, but what else goes into the chocolate.
Hershey's produces chocolates with as much as 60% cocoa, other brands have more, including Dante Confections 98% cocoa "Stevia".
It's added ingredients - particularly in Hershey's milk chocolates - which make mass produced American market chocolates taste like, well, almost nothing, or perhaps vomit.
I'm fairly certain that you mean a rudimentary level. I've yet to meet anyone who learned a language in a public school in the US (i.e. High School) that could little more than ask for a beer and tell the time in that language.
US public school foreign language courses are a joke, mostly because they start too late - perhaps the 7th grade - whereas English taught in much of Europe starts at kindergarten age.
The obstacle we shall have to overcome, if we are to successfully program manycore systems, is our cherished assumption that we write programs that always get the exactly right answers.
This is an interesting observation. Let's take graphs for example. We rarely need to solve every possible path and find THE shortest one, we usually only need to find one which is shorter than almost all the other ones.
Do we always care whether every pixel is the best possible color when compressing images ? No, it usually only has to be close enough so that we can't tell the difference.
These are classic examples of that statement that have already been implemented in both parallel and linear algorithm design. I'd like to see much more research into understanding why some problems don't require an exact answer, and some do. Maybe we need to change the way we think about what a solution is, rather than how to solve.
Imagine if we had never invented the paperless office. Think of the millions of tons of carbon that could be sequestered in printed documents being stored away in huge underground vaults for eternity.
An apple falls from a farmers tree, and rolls to your feet.
You pick up the apple, and eat it
You didn't grow the apple, but you ate it as if it were yours by default.
How do you justify that ?
Fact is that California has plenty of water most of the time. Occasionally the weather patterns shift a bit, and we miss out on normal rainfall for a year, maybe two. Then it comes back, and we have plenty of water again.
This is just how it is. Making idiotic suggestions about not farming the Central Valley, or ridiculing that "most of California is a desert", so don't live there, etc, etc.. just shows your feeble-mindedness.
Lots of folks live in Tornado Alley, or along the Hurricane coast, and get ridiculous amounts of Federal aid every year. California has much less frequent water problems than those areas have their problems, but nobody seems to be telling those people, hey you live in a stupid place, why don't you move somewhere else.
That really is what that little phrase on every bill about being useful for all debts "public and private" really means
Except that is not at all what is meant by that phrase.
Next time, try writing about something you know about.
close- packed bundles of subnanometre-diameter sp3-bonded carbon threads capped with hydrogen, crystalline in two dimensions and short-range ordered in the third
A lot of the " more and more stuff that has nothing to do with an init system" that is "included" in systemd has nothing to do with systemd itself, or the systemd developers.
Example: Gnome. Why is gnome adding dependencies on systemd libraries ?
(that being the USofA) is to worry about how far we can go on a tank of fuel. This is a throwback to the days when trips of any significant distance could easily leave you stranded between fueling stations (which used to be as much as hundreds of miles apart)
In that case, knowing distance per unit of fuel is more important than fuel per unit of distance.
In Europe, where distances are SIGNIFCANTLY shorter it is much more interesting to worry about the cost of the trip, especially when public transport options are close competitors in price. In this case the unit of fuel per unit of distance makes a much easier comparison.

I really need to bite the bullet one day and switch to a distribution that does not worship at the church of bleeding edge.
That, and stop complaining about a product that is clearly advertised as being bleeding edge.

American news journalism is dead, and has been for many years.
You are honestly better off watching al jazeera than any US television news for surprisingly neutral reporting of facts.

By doing so, they are helping to collect all that radioactive material so that it can be disposed of safely and efficiently.
They are the true heros of the Soviet Union.

Either that or OP is just as clueless as his candidates

Why would covering a "customer" (aka person) be any more expensive than covering a "family member" (aka person).
Don't you ever have "strangers" (aka persons) on your property - like your plumber, electrician, meter reader, gardener ?

Investigative journalism costs money. It's a far greater risk, in terms of expense, than simply regurgitating bullshit - from whatever source.
Mass media exists to make a profit, not enforce journalistic integrity.
divide the distance traveled since the last time they filled up by the number of liters/gallons
How funny
