Another location issue pertains specifically to Texas. Texas wind power has been growing very rapidly and may easily meet anticipated demand. Wind costs about $1.30/Watt to build while the nuclear plant, at this early phase, is anticipated to cost $2.20/Watt without modifications that come up in the licensing process or construction delays that genrally plague large projects.
Yes, there are thousands of windmills in operation in Texas, and more popping up every day. But electrical storage is a dream, and these things have spotty operating cycles. Big prob with that.
I believe that Finland has Russian level problems with alcohol. Latitude, and all that. Most if not all of Europe has alcohol abuse problems worse than the US generally, and yes, drunk driving is a horrible crime.
I don't accept your non-cited studies about BAC vs driving risk. 0.08 is the level most common in the US, and you just don't hear about people driving around with 0.075 piling up cars and killing people. Maybe, but cite or forget it.
Do you think if people driving around with 0.075 were killing people, that the level would go lower? Why 0.08? It used to be 0.1, and the same holds. Weenies find solace and refuge in zero tolerance. Same with fighting at school - zero tolerance says everyone is guilty, and the weenie principal gets cover in the policy.
Well, AFAIK, studies have shown that 0.01 blood alcohol level (I assume that's the same as 1 promille since I don't know what units you use in the US) already has a very significant impact on the accident risk. The US has internationally compared quite lax drunk driving laws (high allowed levels of alcohol and low penalties).
0.01 would be percent. That's percent, as in 100 = total, 50 = half, you get the idea. IHNFC what a promille is, but please reveal your country, so I never happen to go there.
Euromopes have more of a problem with alcohol than the typical murkan. No excuse for driving drunk, but zero tolerance is for losers^2.
The noise is a function of the resistance of the circuit.
The information that the resistance has changed in the circuit has a speed from one end to the other, but that information can not be observed in the middle.
Once the resistance has changed in the circuit, the noise changes. This is pretty much instantaneous, since the noise comes from everywhere, not from one side or the other.
Therefore, being in the middle provides no clue as to which side changed resistance.
Just a guess.
I might go check out Bruce's archives, but I don't want to read cryptos talking about electrons.
There is no signal, only noise. Noise has no direction if it is not due to EMI, inductive coupling, or such. This is noise at electron level, which is omidirectional, or adirectional if you prefer. The key is that the thermal noise is that type of noise.
Canada is not without its issues, but one of our more interesting traditions is to throw up nutjob fringe political parties every couple of decades. These parties never make it to power, but they wind up having a lot of influence on the democratic debate, and drive the more mainstream parties to evolve or risk getting pushed out by the interlopers.
No one cares aboot Canadian politics.
In the past century we've had the Social Credit (eventually watered down to various conservative flavours); the Progressives (merged with the Conservatives to make the oxymoronic "Progressive Conservatives"); The Canadian Commonwealth Federation, an agrarian reform socialist party that morphed into the New Democratic Party, a British-style labour party that is currently trying to reinvent itself as a green social democratic party with no success whatsoever; and most recently the Reform Party, a populist social conservative party that merged with the Progressive Conservatives to create the new Conservative Party that is currently clinging to minority government status, and this in a nation that was five years ago in fear of one-party rule by the Liberals.
No one cares aboot Canadian politics.
We have a fertile and diverse political spectrum, although for all that we still have plenty of politically homeless people (as well as a fair number of the other kind) whose votes are up for grabs in any given election. The Green Party is desperately trying to become a national political voice, although their recent shift to the left isn't helping them any.
No one cares aboot Canadian politics.
I've lived in the US, and my taxes plus health care costs there were very close to what my taxes are here. Our health care system is imperfect, but we live longer than Americans and have better health while doing it. Health care reform is happening as we speak, as enterprising Canadians find ways round the draconian Canada Health Act, which practically makes it illegal to pay for medical services that are nominally covered by provincial insurance programmes.
What you said. I would be embarrassed for my country.
It is also possible to incorporate federally online, for a total cost of $220. We are in the top few nations in the world in terms of delivering government services over the Web, and the climate is currently VERY friendly to small business.
You can't own a gun legally unless you take a safety course and fill out some forms. If you want to own a handgun you'll have to become a registered collector. There were about 150 people killed by guns in Canada last year. Yes, you read that right, and no, I didn't drop any zeros. We kill each other with knives and blunt instruments, mostly.
We're armed. you're not. Want to bet on who will win?
We are a foreign, sovereign, nation. We are not like you. And frankly, we'd rather you stayed home and fixed your country. We'd really like that a lot. But if you're really fed up--come on up, and be welcome.
The US won independence from the crown. You never did. You sorta kinda got a somewhat
of a state, maybe. You still celebrate Victoria's b-day. What's up with that shite?
We celebrate Memorial day. That's to commemorate the ones who have served and died to make the US a reality. You're still kissing the queen's ass.
It's a form of filtering. Growling, crazy eyed, about a lame duck
administration is a form of pathology that should be identified.
Hatred of this lame duck administration is being artfully cultivated,
so as to carefully and exactly weed out those who should not own
handguns.
please... Canada (and the ferries in BC) were on a watch list for months a few years back... this does not mean they were 'attacked' but it does mean they were being watched... no, i guess not, the attackers see Canada as a doormat to the US so why would they dare piss them off?
The reason is because soft targets are just so irresistable.
As I understand it, RFID cards don't do anything until they're exposed to an electromagnetic field, which gives them just enough juice to fire off a message, usually an identity code. Unless I've been completely misinformed, you'd have to generate quite the field to even have a chance of reading one of these things at a distance. I know that my RFID card doesn't work until it's within a coupla inches of the appropriate reader.
The whole "it's broadcasting all of your personal information!!!!" hype is a bunch of FUD. The only way it could really be a security risk is if the card itself was stolen, and then it's really no different than having your S.S. card or driver's license stolen.
Distance snooping is a real possibility. The RF reader does not have to supply the
energizing RF field to power the chip. If you put you RFID tag next to a reader,
someone can snoop that with a directional antenna from a good distance.
Why on earth does that concern you?
This proposal allows the viewer to decide what is indecent and what is ok.
Everyone, including Joe Righteous, should have a right to do this.
Quit making sense. The weenies are having a bitchfest. They do not like to be interrupted with common sense.
If the "internet" looked the same from every point, it would indeed be singular. Since it does not, the "internet" does not exist, and "internets" is technically correct.
You're right. I'm all for any reasonable and vicious mockery of the failures of the US educational (lack of a) system, but the violations detailed in the (uncharacteristically poorly written) Guardian article are really of a different sort. I mean, my Spanish is fluent, and I had no idea that hembra means bitch in Nicaragua.
While we're making fun of US dunces, let's make fun of all the contries that are completely incapable of producing their own operating software. That would be most.
The ABBs are their own worst enemies. Instead of finding an electable Joe who can make people feel good about supporting him, they, in their screaming panic, picked the turd that kept floating after they flushed 7 times, a souless creepy gigolo who, once upon a time served honorably in wartime, but since has soiled himself in the Senate for 20 years with a voting record that would make a zombie blush.
I'm very aware of what's going on. But the US is a very multi-cultured cesspool, as opposed to (gasp) French. True, France has all kinds of folks crawling all over, but they are still quite mono-culture. And that is not good for long term survival.
