The bottle of beer was an example. Because it was an easy one.
I live partly in Thailand. Bottom line they are richer than a German. You seem to mix up my buying power of my euros in Thailand with being 'rich'. I can live in Thailand a year with one month work in Germany. However a simple lady selling food from a motor cycle in Thailand has a higher standard of living than a random average German, or other European or for that matter US citizen.
Most own a house, most own land. In Germany the majourity is lifing in rented flats. In Thailand everyone has a health insurance, unlike USA... well, Obama worked on it, no idea how the status is, though.
Why people come up with such idiotic scenarios I can not comprehend. The car will stop. What else would it do? How you think the driver of the car could be injured is beyond me.
If riding the bus and subway each day to work isn't enough encouragement to change your lot in life then nothing is. No idea what you mean. The only thing better than riding a bus or a subway is living in walking distance to youe job or woring in a home office.
What do you mean with peaks at night? At night we are running on baseload alone, hence the name. The minimum power you have to feed constantly into the grid: base of load. Base load in Germany is about 40% of peak in summer and roughly 45% of peak in summer. With up to 40% of peak wind production, especially in autumn and early winter, the base load plants are shutting down.
The little island in front of Florida, called Cuba, provides more medical aid to the world than all G8 nations together.
That is per capita probably a factor of 5000 more than the USA does. To lazy to look up the numbers, could easily be a factor of 10,000.
I guess the world will be peacefull and happy again when Gods own country of idiots is falling back into insignificance.
Regarding 'developing aid' _per capita_ I doubt the USA makes it into the top 20, and if so it is only because they call 'military aid' developing aid.
Wow, what a dumb post. On the other sid of the planet: there is no night, And no, a solar flare won't end all life on earth. The magnetic field of the earth protects us and the atmosphere filters out 99% of anything comming from the sun. Taking out the frid has nothing to do with 'radiation' hitting your skin...
A solar flare could change the climate by causing decay if CH4 in the upoer atmosphere, cloud building etc. But it would not have a long time effect. And: it would need to be a monster of a solar flare. Your parent is just an idiot...
California started in the late 1980ths to pass laws for zero emission cars. Other states followed. Then some bollocks said: all fine, but not for trucks. Then the car industry decided it is easier to build 'family cars' that count as trucks than following the regulations for clean air and power consumtion of cars. The result is a SUV.
When I retire with about 70 in about 20 years I will visit the Moon, probably Mars, too. I won't care if I fly with Elon Musk, a Chineese space craft or an Indian Vimana. Chances are it will be one of the later two.
time to sit back and let the rest of the world and the worst polluters make some serious changes If we are talking about CO2 if you mean that with 'pollution' then the USA are still leading the world per capita and are on place two or three as a nation... so you really think it is time to sit back?
Modern energy mixes don't really distinguish between base load and midrange load anymore. On a 'bad day' Germany has so much renewable energy that the base load plants have to be powered down. Same for France btw...
Steve never said: minimum thickness. And he also never said: minimum number of ports.
However I agree that a laptop with twice the thickness and twice battery live and twice the hard disk storage would be my child, and oh: 17" screen or bigger!
On my macs all track pads get physically pushed down, no idea where you get your idea from;D My iPhone is an iPhone 4, and the home button is a button. Same for my iPad 2.

Not for households, facepalm.
So why would anyone care?
And what has that to do with the operation system?
Apple has no own "PDF editing program" just like Linux and Windows

What you considered ranting is bejond me.
Why people come up with such idiotic scenarios I can not comprehend.
The car will stop. What else would it do?
How you think the driver of the car could be injured is beyond me.
And how would that be relevant?
You have no clue about insurances I guess.

It is accepted by 100% of scientists.
Only idiots don't accept it. Scientists usually are not idiots.

They likely wont get/want air conditioning.
It is much more easy to build a house in a way that it does not need one (which they do since centuries).
Somehow funny that Arnold Schwarzenegger is coproducer. ...
Then again his heimat had no decent winters and decent snow since decades
What kind of lifestyle chande you fear from switching from coal plants to renewables or by switching from ICE car to an EV?
Oh, I seem to be stupid then.
I thought it was love, gratitude and sex.

Never met such a green oeeacer, I'm happy those lunarics see to live only in your country ...
Batteries get recycled and your idea of lifespan is off by a factor of 3 - 5.

Unfortunately Apple is going the same way as all the other "idiots".
Thy think people want to sync their phone with their laptop via the cloud.
I wonder how long it takes that apple offers "myapple" email addresses like gmail.
...but it's way too easy to accidentally disconnect.
That is the point about it.
I only stumbled about 3 times over my laptop cable last 30 years.
But 2 times was a mag jack and "nothing happened" ...
