Was about to write something similar, regarding 'idiotic' laws in the US. In Europe in most countries we have also a bit arbitrary laws regarding that. In Germany it is more or less like this: both partners need to be above 14 (which is actually also the legal age for marriage if both sides parents agree), if one partner is 21 or above, the other one needs to be 16 at least. Of course prostitution is forbidden for people below 18.
The idea that you can only have sex when you are over 18 (as in many US states) or drink alcohol when you are over 21 (all? or only many? US states) sounds completely alien to europeans.
Hm, very interesting. Perhaps you are interested in the books of King Rama IX of Thailand. He studied agriculture, water engineering and land scaping. Thailand would be a deforested third world country, if he had not intervened. Most of his topics about agriculture and soil preservation are about special grass plants that hold soil and water and make rice fields possible, calming floods etc.
Under communism, China was one of the world's poorest countries, and experienced the worst famine in all of history. That is a pretty missleading statement. First of all China was poor before Mao, too. Secondly China was occupied by foreign nations before Mao. Thirdly the famine from 1958 - 1962 has nothing to do with communism. I suggest to at least read the relevant wikipedia articles.
Actually with echo location they could. Now add a smart gun...
Echo location btw is processed in the visual cortex, some blinds who original were not blind, feel it indistinguishable from seeing. Well, besides resolution and colours.
First of all I obviously was joking. Secondly how the funk should my DHCP set up suddenly change? And thirdly, why would that fake/fluke my location in any way if it changed?
You must be an idiot indeed. We are talking about new installations and the cost of production energy with them. At your place setting up a new solar plant is cheaper than setting up a new coal plant. And it will produce energy for a cheaper price. No idea why you refer to old contracts that obviously don't change...
Citation needed. Citiation needed for a no brainer? What is next? If I put shit on a field it works as fertilizer? Citation needed?
You are an idiot, how dumb do you think I am? PV cells are recycled and all I've found are articles that say that PV cells contain heavy metals PV cells don't contain heavy metals, hence you never searched the internet and hence you never found an article claiming they can not be recycled.
How do you think a silicon cell is made? They melt SAND, and then purify it to an absurd amount of purity. It does not matter if I melt an old solar cell or simple sand from a desert or the sea... WTF, get a damn clue. Recycling a silicon based PV cell is probably the simplest thing in the world. And completely pointless as you can deposite them safely as nothing of its ingridients can easiely get out.
Stop contributing to that 'can not be recycled myth'.
Well, I guess it depends about what you want to talk. A 25MW boiler is probably far away from its theoretical maximum. While a 25MW gas turbine is close to it.
On the ither hand typical gas plants do 500MW, and then the boiler is at the exact same level as a turbine. Sorry, no idea about what you want to argue.
250g of C4, shaped charge directed at the place where the user is sitting. As soon as it gets activated and decides via its network connection that it is at the wrong place in the universe, it gets triggered. An additional termite charge in the hard drives should make sure it can not be traced back to me...
The compiler options complexity is irrelevant. It can be put into a Maven/Ivy directory structure trivially. Instead of only putting libs under repository control, you could do that with *.o files, too. And when the compiler (more precisely a frontend to it) figures it can fetch the o file from a repository instead of compiling it, it just copies it (like the original "clea case build system" before IBM bought the name and used it for an revision control/issue tracker system)
Use Ivy, it is the same like maven but does not build the software, it only manages the dependencies. Or use gradle.
Software written in Java/Groovy, does not really care about the source code languages nor the artifacts it manages in the repository nor about the build tools it calls:D Java is your friend, and Groovy is your buddy:D
There was some news a few days ago, that in some asian country (I forgot which) volunteers planted 10,000 trees in a single day. The kingdom of Bhutan, in the Himalaya, announced a few weeks ago it is carbon neutral now, however they claimed it is due to planting lots of trees, which indicates they are not doing the math correctly. But it is a great effort anyway.
There are two facts, actualy three: a) you are an idiot b) you can not read c) I explained several times that evey European, and also most other world nations, who have a relatively new passport already have biometric info and that includes fingerprints on those passports
I never talked about anything totalitarian, nazi like or if I like it or don't like it.
But thanx for insulting me just because you are to dumb to read and answer a honest question.
Why do you insist to play an idiot? Wind and Solar power is cheaper than coal all over the world.
Those panels will wear out and break but we don't know yet how to recycle that Wow, you are indeed an idiot. There is nothing to recycle, you simply put them again into a silicon plant, how retarded are you?
Every installed MW of wind and solar needs to be backed up with reliable on-demand capacity No it does not. 1) They can be "backed up" (we actually call it supplement) by another wind/solar plant far away enough. 2) the oil and coal plants to "back them up" already exist...
And in economies like Europe you simply can import electricity without the need of "special back up plants"... facepalm.
The old "second world" is now on the level we where 30 years ago. Not much a difference to where we are right now. That is more or less true for the former third world, too.
The only third world countries left are those that are under war lords reign as e.g. in Somalia.
Burning gas for a boiler or in a gas turbine has the same upper theoretical efficiency limit (around 42% - 45%). The main difference is reaction time and power up time. Hence boilers where used for load following (mid range) and turbines for reserve power and balancing power.
Interesting is the combination of both, which ups the limit to about 60%.

For that they need to travel more than 2 times as fast as the speed of light ... just mentioning it.
And you should be moded funny instead if insightful :D
An other option would be 'wise'.
All examples you gave have nothing to do with socialism or communism etc.
They are classic examples of a governments responsibility.
Not having them does not mean you are 'capitalist' ( which is a market system and not a political system), it means you are in an anarchy.

No the gas turbine does not win.
It has the same Carnot efficiency like the steam turbine behind the boiler.
However it lets pass through enough rest heat to use an boiler and steam turbine afterward.

The only third world countries left are those that are under war lords reign as e.g. in Somalia.
Deserts are growing in all places.
Arguable that is not because of CO2 but bad farming/wood harvesting habits.
Claiming that there are satellites showing a reduction of deserts is just idiotic.
