And it would be so much better if that something was something others actually find interesting. Instead its something esoteric like energy storage solutions, or the difference between b550 and x570. I was once asked, "what's the difference between m-ATX and mini-ITX?" And I knew way to much about it to be socially healthy...

Well, frankly, Northern Maine isn't very much north and not enough inland to get the extremes?

Most of Scandinavia has been below -15F for a good part of the new year and being relatively dense (for Scandinavia) in EV coverage I'd say Norway is the best example of EV very cold weather performance.

We've had this same "debate" here as well with ice-owners lamenting the perceived loss of range and EV-owners responding "I know, don't care. Always works, always warm and always topped up".

Religious Easter Egg? What? Who?

The Bible isn't my literature, but I thought I had the basics, at least...

What? Won't creditors accept real estate as security from a man found guilty of fraudulently overvalue his real estate in orde to use as security for the exact purpose of lending more money in a money lending scheme? Shocking!

I wonder, though: if the state of NY expropriate real estate to sell to highest bidder and those auctions fail to meet market value, won't that create chain reactions? A) the creditor(s) which had that particular building as security will see the value of their asset turn to zero because of negligence from their customer "billionaire", which should open for a case against Trump for both immediate repayment of the loan and subsequent damages, and B) send a clear signal to all other creditors that they need to secure their assets asap?

As opposed to the virus itself, which is might be DNA (or RNA), which breach the cell boundary, which highjack the DNA-replicating parts of the cell to do what the bacteria does in the description IHeartBadCode writes, using the same enzymes to do whatever it's DNA code has randomly come up with.

[/S] Clearly the virus is a much safer bet!

Po-tay-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

So, basically, there is a difference on one side or the other on a line of a map somewhere? There is a Russia and not-Russia. So even Kreml doesn't think Chrimea is part of Russia...

Q-6 is still within the bounds of the system, though. True Anarchy chess doesn't need such systems^^

One wonders, with such a slim majority, where the speaker and a few others would swing the majority, if they've realised they could negotiate bi-partisan agreements which would push conservative policies at the cost of some democratic ones. It would crush the magas, while still pushing conservative agendas and get som form of government working again.

Oh my... Last time I read pieces like this, the new architecture was called bulldozer.

That's optimization for you. Just a 27% increase in size would allow a whole lot of more shapes, but think of the economy!

An LLM once explained to me that it didn't know, it simulated an answer. I found that descriptive.

"Leftist", "centrist" and "conservative"? This is not a the open discussion it is made out to be.

Having said that, those "traditional" values mentioned could easily be replaced with conservative values, especially when compared to the very individual, almost liberal, value of freedom to express oneself it is hard to see anything being "leftist" in the premiss of the discussion. Unless you are so far off the scale to the right that everything looks left...

It needs to be low, but positive and keept stable. If it's to high it will be self sustaining and increasing, if it's negative everything stalls. 2% seems to fit the bill.

There could be an argument that 4% would have been just as good, and had the rest of the world united on 4% it would*. However, it would not have changed anything in last year's combat of inflation. The target would have been defended just as fiercely causing just as much collateral. Only the numbers would have been slightly different.

*Ignoring for a bit those countries that has had to fight to keep inflation up.

Hmmm... I wonder what the elevatorpitch for a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektriker is?

A warning and belittlement. "Talk to your client". The godfather wasn't addressed.

Five years ago I was astonished that the U.S. navy was looking for renewable fuels thinking it would never pan out. Today I see alternatives which has nothing to do with fossils in the private sector. I see heavy transportation companies trying to find ways to electrify their fleet. I think those "grownups" will find themselves in a new reality despite them not wanting to.

And unfeasible? Three years ago maybe. Today we need to revise the time plans. I'm already working at implementing the goals set for 2030 and have started shifting focus towards the big elephant and the 2045 goals.

A flayer shooter with Oz, you say? Well, the lore is there.

Totally unlike the other fielded armies globally at the moment.

/S

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this, but... Today there are choices...

I know what you mean. The oldest building i pass every day is from dates from 1250, but compared to the parts of Europe rich in architecture that's not really very old...

So deciding to have Tesla leave the Nordics, some of the most EV dense countries, will not only hurt Tesla and give the competition an edge, it might actually cost him stock in spaceX? Is that the analysis here?

That's another nail in the coffin.

Oh well, at least it works to my advantage when I don't remember to bring work with me home to ponder.

Tanks for reminding me:)

So, in a word... And I say this as a European non-english speaker, so I may have got meaning and culture all wrong... It would be unpatriotic?

If I remember correctly from bio-classes, back in the day, Virus could be either, although not enough to form a complete cell. Granted, it has been almost 30 years since those classes, but the wiki seems to agree.

No, we need to be able to keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time or we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Terror and oppression is terrible regardless of what the purpetrator and the victim are called.
