Do those figures include the cost of storage and new infrastructure to get power from the few areas that have reliable wind or sunlight? Plus the cost of peaking plants to supply power when the storage is depleted.
The people who code these distros are very smart, why can't they include some hand holding? As an old hand at computing (I was programing on my Sinclair ZX81 in 1981) I can puzzle out what I need but a text file of how to get common things going would be helpful. I just put Kubuntu on an old HP Pavilion 1000 laptop. It took days for me to get the wireless connection functioning. I finally clicked around and saw my router name listed and activated that. The average computer user does not have the patience to do that.
Then there is the process of making a live cd/dvd. I can understand needing that for a new build but if an old system can connect to the internet why can't the downloaded files simply install themselves?
Please take a minute to explain what limitations you would place on guns in America. Where would the guns be found if the Constitutionally mandated militia needed to defend the free state?
If we are to frame the debate on what the framers of the Constitution thought about guns what would they have thought about abortion?
Unless you just slipped across the border we are all paying members of society. Everyone benefits from roads and we share the potential benefit of hospitals and good sanitation. With embedded taxes only the most calculation can slip through the day without helping pay for public services.
Everyone thinks they pay too many taxes and their neighbor not enough.
The thing is it doesn't have to be that way. My niece's husband is an IT worker and has an old unlimited AT&T unlimited account. They live out in the sticks but he put the phone sim in a wireless router and has unlimited high-speed broadband. They can stream the Netflix 4k channel on their 65 in 4k set and it's beautiful, all for $70 a month. I live close to them and use Hughes satellite broadband and get 50 GB a month for $90.
You sound like my brother. He doesn't eat breakfast or lunch. At work he takes a nap at lunch time. His wife has supper ready when he gets home at 6:00 PM. He claims you gain weight if you eat after dark. At 62 he weighs what he did at 20 and has a physically demanding job.
For me I have always ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a good lunch and dinner. I maintained 212 lbs from when I was 22 until now at 64. Being retired in the last few years I did have to cut way down on food, often a cup of sweetened coffee for breakfast and a light meal at about 3:00 PM. What ever works for you is what you should do.
I guess no plant biologist cares to say anything. Soybeans and canola are open pollinated. You can save the seed. All but a tiny amount of corn is hybrid, GMO or not. You can't replant the seed anyway. There are a few so-called heirloom varieties that are not hybrids you can buy if you want to replant your own seed.
Boomers? How about Depression babies? My Gen X daughter finely got a full time teaching position at her college when an 85 year old professor decided to retire and a spot opened up. English teachers ae very long lived.
You are looking at it wrong. How do the vendors in Louisiana know what to tax? Taxing authorities will publish exactly what taxes are due on which products and where each tax is applicable. Citizens will also have access to the database and will be able to see what taxes their lawmakers have saddled them with. May be an eye opener.
How do you fight human nature. My wife is preceptoring at a health clinic to get her nurse's license. Two of her classmates are working at other locations of the same health provider. One is black, her preceptor is black, she has full access to patients and their records and can practice on the patients. At another facility a classmate from Venezuela is partnered with a woman from Spain, good times in Spanish. Again, full access to the patients and an instruction manual for the electronic records computer system they use.
My wife, a large, no nonsense white women who is the top student in the class is teamed with a queen bee black woman. No access to patients or their records, she can't speak to the attending doctor or even be in a room with a patent by herself. She was told there is no manual for the computer program, you are supposed to remember the key strokes you are shown once. My wife did find out what program they use and has been studying You-tube videos to learn it. If she complains she will probably have to find another facility to go to and repeat the 200 hours she has already done. So she is just going to keep her mouth shut and will have to start her first job with no actual patient care experience. Racist come in all colors.
I guess you mentioned prescription Viagra to make a point but gray market sildenafil citrate is cheap. I get a 120 mg compound pill (100 mg Viagra and 20 mg Cialis) for about $4 a pill from India. One quarter of a pill does it for 63 year old me. I have been getting my supply for 10 years like this and haven't got a bad batch yet.
Fighting climate will need to become a religion, not mushy Christianity but ISIS style Islam. Those guys give a shit. True believers must be willing to die or kill to convert everyone to a tenth century lifestyle. Only 100% compliance will save the planet. Expect the same kind of resistance to that as radical Muslims get.
I went to MM A school in late 1972. We had workbooks and daily lectures with a test on Friday. Anyone who failed was gone on Monday. If you maintained an A average you didn't have to stand guard duty. I loved my A average. After the last test of the course I was offered a chance to attend nuclear power school. To this day I regret that I declined.
The course work for rate advancement was self paced study books. After six years I made 2nd class. I wasn't good with the military part of being in the Navy but I was good at taking those tests.
How can four people live on $22,000 a year? My SS income is $24,000 a year. Just me and my wife. My car and truck are paid for as is my home. My property tax is just $400. I rarely leave the house, no vacations or eating out. My cell phone, cable and Internet cost me $3000 a year but still I should have some money left at the end of the month but each month my credit card balance gets a little higher.
My wife is just finishing nursing school so when she starts working our income will double so I'm good.
Uh no, they thought of that. My 74 GB C: drive was full. Then one day I magically had 16 GB free. Even with Win 10 installed I still have 14 GB free. Something about 10 must be much small then 7.
I did mirror my drive so if it goes bad I can install to other drive.
As always consensus is man made global warming and as always we should do something. Do what? How? All this brain power and not a single link to any plan, much less a detailed plan to save the world.
The only plan is to get everyone to agree it is all our fault. After that I guess things will take care of themselves as everyone will simply stop using fossil fuels and the Earth will cool again. Simply turning off the fossil fuel spigot will create a combination of the worse parts of Mad Max and Water-world. Even the best plan will have the ghosts of Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, and Hitler giving a golf clap.
I guess I got lucky twice. I love the ACA, otherwise I wouldn't have had coverage for my wife's operation and now Win 10 works for me
I upgraded my old Athlon 5000 desktop from Win 7. It took about 2 hours of babysitting and has been working perfectly for two months. I mostly just Web surf and Firefox now displays the open tab to the top of my monitor. After that success I upgraded my wife's new HP 15 laptop from 8.1 to 10. Same install time, only problem was I had to reinstall the drivers for my Brother ink jet printer. That and Firefox for Win 10 came with an extension the disabled JavaScript and I had to do an about:config to re-enable it.
I have four children The oldest has an English PhD, oldest son has a law degree and is a contract manager at a Fortune 500 company, youngest son is in last year of college getting a business degree and his older sister is a hairdresser, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Two years of me helping with homework every night, tutoring classes, summer school. The tears, the moaning, and it still took her five time to pass Florida's math assessment test to get her diploma. She was an honor graduate, straight As in every other subject but after surviving high school she said she would rather jab her eyes out with a sharpened #2 pencil than take another math test.
Now she is a very good cosmetologist and was top of her class at the tech school. I just think she could have done so much more if college math requirements were less stringent.

Trees require fertilizer and water. If these cells require less water they can be use in arid areas preserving more fertile soils for food crops.

I'm glad you feel that way. Now tell the TSA to quit worrying and let people just get on-board airplanes like they did before 9/11.
To be fair, what is value of fossil fuel benefits? If you don't think people value the benefits try blockading a gas station.
Boomers? How about Depression babies? My Gen X daughter finely got a full time teaching position at her college when an 85 year old professor decided to retire and a spot opened up. English teachers ae very long lived.
So she overheard quiet comments and these guys where fired for thought crimes. Well, and for being stupid enough to let their victim overhear them.

That's how you pay for electricity. I pay $.10 for using a kilowatt appliance for one hour. Or $.10 per Kwh. Says so right on my electric bill.
