>Also my kids (7+9) struggled to get them closed properly.

Press it down and then if its not flat rotate the cap the wrong way round until it clicks.

The old style cap design already left a ring behind of the same plastic as the cap. as they seem to have handled that, keeping the cap itself attached seems like it would be a minor change.

Turns out there is a women who had XY chromosomes. She was completely immune to testosterone so her body remained female.

And hermaphrodites also exist.

Nature is NEVER black and white. Any futile attempted by humans to make it fit into black and white definitions will ALWAYS fail. Litterally everything in nature is a (inserve or double) bell curve of some sorts. THAT is science.

Also, sir, this is a wendy's.

>The magnitude of mortality they cause in mainland areas remains speculative

>Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality.

Also, mainland birds evolved to deal with predatory losses, their problem is loss of habitat. It's normal for billions of birds to die every year, it's not normal for them to not find places to breed and forage.

>when Jesus Christ returns.

You guys have been saying that for 2000 years now. Any report on his progress?

No, that's actually exactly how religion works.

European mary is white because most Christians there are white.

Ethiopian mary is black because most of the Christians there are black.

Korean's have a Korean Jesus, and I'm assuming their mary similarly looks Korean.

In reality, if she ever existed, she would have look middle eastern.

The only time you see a disconnect there is when a religion was brought to a area by a outside influence (like European powers to much of Africa)

They did significantly overcompensate into the other direction though.

They have a 12 character minimum length for the masterpassword, and i already mentioned a password being vulnerable to rainbow table attacks.

Despite the headline, the hackers still can't access any passwords. lastpass doesn't have any users master passwords to leak, so even if they made off with your encrypted password data, they are still encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption, with a key unique to and known only by each user. (and it is designed this way for exactly this eventuality)

The hackers would need to brute force each user individually to get at any passwords, and 256bit AES would take until the heat death of the universe crack that way. for one user.

Unless you are very interesting and have a master password that's vulnerable to rainbow table attacks, you probably still have very little if anything to worry about.

And as all cloud based password manager work roughly the same way switching password manager might not gain you much either.

The hackers don't actually have access to any passwords though.

Each account is still encrypted with a unique key that lastpass doesn't even know so can't expose when getting hacked. The hackers would still need to brute force each account individually to get at the passwords.

Unless you are extremely interesting, or your master key is vulnerable to rainbow table attacks (meaning it consists mostly of words, making it much easier to guess), you probably still have nothing to worry about.

We already have pretty good ways of taking any voltage input and returning a steady voltage. As long as the power requirements don't exceed the maximum Amp the battery will allow at the lower voltages that shouldn't be a insurmountable problem.

The sodium and sulfer this battery uses should be pretty easy to separate though, and aren't nearly as reactive as lithium.

The main ingredients are Sodium (one half of normal table salt) and sulfer, that we already have piles and piles of ever since we started removing it from our fuels.

most of these competing economic theories, like MMT pushed by Kelton here, just look like people arguing over which part of the feedback loop is most important.

They are all important.

If you pick one and push on that too much, then before long it becomes more efficient to push on the other.

Central banking is what keeps a financial crisis from turning into another great depression.

Government don't need to pay off debt (or write it off), they just need to service it, and wait for inflation and economic growth to make it basically irrelevant.

US world war 2 debt for example was never repaid, but at 285 billion, today, with the US economy reaching 23 trillion, it would represent just 1.2% of the economy.

Government debt isn't like household debt.

>You lose half of the energy between the power plant and the end user in the electrical grid.

Who told you these figure... and maybe more importantly why on earth did you believe them? They are off by a whole order of magnitude.

https://theconversation.com/we-calculated-emissions-due-to-electricity-loss-on-the-power-grid-globally-its-a-lot-128296

>In more developed countries, losses were lower: While the United States experienced 6% losses in 2016, 5% was reported for Germany and Singapore reached 2%.

I've also looked at other sources and between 5 to 6% is the consensus for the US.

And before we were just talking tank-to-wheel efficiency for ICE.

If we're going to take a broader view then we'll need to include the cost to refine the oil into gasoline. That's another 15-20% of the energy gone before it even gets to your tank. And we haven't even added in the energy costs of distributing the fuel.

No matter the fuel, a electric car will always be able to go more miles on the same amount of initial fuel. power plants are just much more efficient then a gas powered ICE car could ever hope to be.

So which numbers are you talking about?

The ones that can be converted far more efficiency into electricity then a ICE car can convert them into motion?

And are substituted by renewable energy when available?

They went with red, because its the heat that separates the oxygen from the hydrogen.

or red, which is a 'new' flavour they are developing in japan where its generated by heat from a nuclear reactor.

(A reactor that can't melt down because among other things, it doesn't use water for cooling, and can withstand temps up to 1800 degrees C. They have a test reactor up already, and they let it melt down deliberately, and nothing happened. The reaction stopped on its own.)

So far that's one of the few climate neutral large scale hydrogen generation techniques that has looked at all feasible to me. For everything else the efficiency just isn't there. For example if you use renewable electricity to create hydrogen to fuel a car (even a fuelcell powered one (60% efficiency), not ICE (25% at best), a battery car would go 2.5 to 3 times as far on the same amount of renewable energy.

efficiencies like that would always relegate it specific parts of the market were batteries are just too heavy (aviation) or near instant refueling is a requirement.

That's already a solved problem by warming up the battery before use.

I don't think it will go that fast. there will be a few challenges around charging at home or work being easier for some then others, and some niche cases were being able to refuel quickly is a significant advantage.

And some of the materials needed for batteries are also going up in price, offsetting some of the gains in battery tech.

Having said that yes, the transition is already starting and will be well under way before we hit 2035. But this legislation puts a dot on the horizon that the relevant industries can work towards (mainly the car industry, the grid and charging infrastructure builders)

Even if the EU grid was 100% coal fired that would STILL be less polluting then ICE cars. That's how inefficient ICE cars are.

While its true that methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas then CO2, it also breaks down in our atmosphere within 20 years so there is no accumulative effect.

The CO2 you emit during your groceries shopping trip in contrast stays in the carbon cycle for hundreds or even thousands of years, contributing to climate change that whole time.

Also, many people drive a lot more then 8 miles every 2 weeks. And if you're just driving 8 miles every 2 weeks anyway just keep your old gas car. This isn't a outright ban.

The bottom line however is that we need to do all the things. complaining one measure doesn't fix everything is a BS distraction.
