When you're young, for some, it's easy to forget they're part of a wider context So Libertarianism is appealing. But as the years go by most people realize they aren't alone in this world. There are family. There are neighbours. There are friends. There are heroes and villains and they all touch our lives in many ways.
We learn we are stronger together than standing alone. Game of Thrones even gets it: "When Winter comes, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives". Libertarianism is great when times are easy. But when times get harder, you want to be part of a community that looks after its members. You can call that family or community or a country with democratic sicialism. Same thing. Only the scale changes. People cooperating and supporting each other at home, around town, across the country...and even around the world. But open and transparent and democratic and good people working together in good faith. Weed the crooks and cheaters out.
I rarely use my desktop PC. The last thing on it is video editing and that's just for the big screen. I can edit video on my phone, too, but it's harder to be precise in the smaller screen. Other than that, I do everything on my (Linux) Android phone. Most apps are easier to use on the phone these days, with the desktop app being inferior in terms of the UI.
True.
US emissions are down. But that's often despite contrary policy and leadership.
The local level is seeing a lot of action in reducing emissions. Individuals are making better choices.
It could be a LOT better if the GOP weren't so ignorant.
It is.
You'd have to know nothing about business to fall for it.
Maintenance and replacement cost would be faster in from the planning stages and tax depreciation of the asset allows for revenue to be accrued to pay those costs when the time comes.
You'd have have to know nothing at all about business to fall for this. I guess that means Republicans are particularly susceptible.... Based on their other damaging policy choices.
When you put a wind turbine up, you factor in the cost of maintenance and eventual replacement. That's what depreciation is: allowing the accrual of replacement costs.
This story is the usual bullshit FUD from the fossil fuel industry.
To fall for it, you'd have to know NOTHING about how to run a business. I suppose that means Republicans will be particularly susceptible.
A power cube is a cube about 5cm / 2" on a side with one power socket in each of 4 sides. The 5th side has 2x2.1amp USB-A sockets. The 6th suffer is where the power cord joins the cube.
They are small, light and great for home or traveling. Mine is 240v which works great anywhere (240 or 120) with the right adapter.
You'll never buy a flat power bar again.
I've done this to buy time when the job the I REALLY want won't confirm I have it or not for a few more days..... But I already have one or more offers I don't want to pass up if the preferred one doesn't come through.
No one is saying turn the tap off. They are saying hold the oil companies accountable for their 40 years of lies about climate change. They knew about it a long time ago and then *deliberately* worked to deceive others.
Until very recently, they had no choice and oil-lobby owned politicians and Fox News lie to them all day every day.
A court case is a great way to air the issues in what is assumed to be a neutral forum. This judge shows how deep the rot has gone. The oil companies knew about climate change in the 1970s then spent 40 years lying about it and finding lobbyists to lie about it.
Blaming drivers is pure 'whatabout-ery' that doesn't address the active and ongoing deception of those drivers by oil companies and their paid stooges in Congress and the media.
The oil companies knew about the affects in climate. They then spent millions lying about it.
That is definitely wrong. No two ways about that.
American courts clearly are having more and more trouble seeing right from wrong.
Much like the people in this thread who can't see the core issue here.
MAGA simply requires willful blindness to the ragingly obvious.
Nothing great about that.
The issue here is that oil companies knew about climate change, then actively worked to confuse the public on it.....and they are still doing that.
Sorry you...and the judge.... Missed the key point.
America isn't what it used to be, that's for sure. This judge just proved that: guilty people get off.
Thanks, Judge.
China 'own' many major political parties in Western countries. Look at Trudeau's Liberals in Canada paying $4.5 billion for an old pipeline to secure a push for a new pipeline (another $.6.9 billion) so oil from Chinese-backed companies in Alberta can get to the Pacific. The politics of that move are insane. But Trudeau has no choice. He's owned.
Lots of Baby Boomers opposed the policies that have wrecked America, but, unfortunately, there are enough economically illiterate people of all ages who vote Republican to ensure America was wrecked anyway.
Sure, a small portion of the population is doing well and they own most stuff anyway.
That's the problem right there.
Pay is low. Rent is high. Medical costs are high. More people work longer hours. Many people have big student debts.
A lot of people just can't afford to have kids. So they don't.
This is neo-liberal economucs' natural outcome.
It was all predicted decades ago.
So a cut in the unemployment benefit is billed as a UBI?
The only difference seems to be they kept the money if they got a job. That's not a bad idea.
But it's not the UBI that will be needed when most jobs are automated.
Generally, things are pretty good in Canada, compared to most places. But public servant caught it being flagrantly incompetent, as in this example, too often try to blame the person who discovered the mistake.
At the same time, the kid can be said you be authorised to view his own documents / information, but not authorised to view anyone else's. If this was explicit in any terms & conditions, then the kid is guilty.
If you discover someone's house isn't locked, it's still stealing to go inside and take stuff.
Trump's economy is still largely due to Obama's policies.....and the economy isn't actually booming for most people. They get the same crap pay or worse, no job security and now less security is access to health care thanks to Trump.
My sister-in-law voted for Brexit because she was having trouble getting an appointment that suited her with an NHS dermatologist. She'd show them!!
But when Brexit won, she was horrified and moved to New Zealand.
She's not very bright. Never has been.
You missed it by a mile.
The point was a consistent bias they sees white folk doing terrorist acts not being called terrorists.
I agree that in this case the authorities have said this kids was needed up personally and had no ideological agenda.
In recent history, they makes him an exception of sorts.
The point stands: authorities and media tend not to use the word "terrorist" when taking about ideologically motivated killings by white people.

The energy required to cool that volume of water makes the nuke plant pointless.
Nukes are no good. Fukushima and Chernobyl makes that very clear.

It doesn't. There are no issues in producing Model S and Model X.
