The chump tax law changes made it less beneficial to own your home.

Point being, the original post did not reflect this behavior at all.

Exactly my point, so it dilutes the data, and gives misleading impression.

This one makes a little more sense to me, I would expect max power to be at lower speed than the original Germany based plot, and the decreasing power at high wind speed as they go offline and “park”

A self-powered, completely closed system, sustainable biosphere with predicted >1000 year viability. Personally I believe the scale would require 10000 to 100000 space launches from earth based on our current payload capacity.

Granted this is not a “precaution” per se, but if we can accomplish this, the precautions would be secondary, or a trivial undertaking.

As pointed out they are, but the market will not really pay for them.

The manufacturers make more profit on large higher performance vehicles, and have had to sell their smaller high efficient vehicles at a loss for years to meet their fleet efficiency standards (CAFE requirements). It does not cost 3x as much to make a $90k car as a $30k one.

So the typical efficient car buyer is not really interested in paying for efficiency, they are buying on price.

Orange chocolate was always a surprising good combo when done right.

I once adapted cinnamon rolls to chocolate with orange cream cheese icing… shockingly good

And in clear air - like strikes on the edges of a storm, the lightning looks crisp and cleanly defined

In addition to the others issue mentioned here - A lot of tropical areas have coral sand, so a different source than stone weathering ( quartz sand - common on the East coast of the us) -

Coral sand is also very light and more likely to be shifted in current.

"a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development." ? It was just an inevitable step in the long road of development.

Like people posting that their car reached 100000 miles - there really is not particular magic about that number.

While not news - this was reported weeks ago - this to me is a Milestone, but not a "breakthrough" as it was referred to - is is the result of multiple innovations and improvements. Conceivably a tipping point - but the size and the cost of the apparatus - relative to the energy gain is huge and we are still 20 years away

“Valuation” is one of the least understood concepts in people’s economic knowledge.

Lies slander Calls to violate laws

There is no thing as an absolute….

Well with the child set up the 529 account as well.

Stay conscious of your lifestyle and stay frugal. At off the cars, and start pilling up savings.

To add, drain the system from a lower location, like a hose bib, or downstairs sink.

I would not call it misinformation as over-hype.

I generally say nay on the fusion thing, a great mile stone but this is a painfully slow evolution of tech and not a real breakthrough.

I want to make the distinction because fusion IS an incredibly important tech, but publicity as a breakthrough leads people to believe this is much closer than it is.

Basically … when tech news leads people to believe that Tech will save us from GW and not require us to dramatically change our behaviors, well… drives me nuts.

Ha… well someone got the reference…

You need to do this with Dr. Johnny Fever…

I too watch SNL…

The less people have to do with the creation of their wealth - the less they respect what they have.

So .. here is my protip... Buy one share of UP and you get a wall calendar of great train pics - every year.
