Americans saw this and then went ahead and voted for the guy anyway.

I hope you realize that this does not go away - it’s enough humiliation to last to the end of time.

Also when you account for those batteries the cost is going to shift a bit.

You better be bringing units if you’re going to be claiming this.

Still less than half of the LCOE of nuclear when storage is added: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1475611/global-levelized-cost-of-energy-components-by-technology/

Given that both solar and storage costs are trending downwards while nuclear is not, this basically kills any argument for nuclear in the future. It’s not viable on its face - renewables + storage is the definitive future.

This claim doesn’t really pass the smell check for me - can you point to where you get the notion from? Checking the lists for average hours worked per year per worker, richer countries routinely have lower numbers than poorer countries.

Encryption is totally and completely haram

The Twilight Zone - Nightmare at 20,000 feet, I believe

As a counterpoint, I’ve bought loads of really good cycling accessories from AliExpress. It’s not impossible to buy high-quality things from China - this is after all where a large part of everything is manufactured these days - you just have to be careful not to fall for the offers that are just obviously too good to be true.

Uncapped overtime excuses bad management. I get why they’re pissed, this puts a spotlight on how bad they are at management.

Stopping your finger from bleeding by cutting off the entire arm is not a particularly good plan.

Sure, inflation is down, but the absolute condition for the average argentinian is not strictly speaking great.

It’s clear that some form of change to stop the runaway inflation was needed, but this was not the way to go

Layers - get a good base layer, merino wool is the gold standard for these. You also want to get a neck gaiter, plus some merino wool socks, and some kind of cap. These will keep you warm and dry throughout most cold weather. Add more layers on top when outside, and remember to remove layers proactively if you feel yourself starting to sweat - it’s never a good idea to be wet in cold weather. The base layer will make physical exertion a pretty hot affair quite fast, so you’d be surprised how fast the sweat starts pouring.

Gotta make use of that Force Majeure-clause

Oh fuck that rules

That policy obviously needs to die a horrible death.

Barring some technical breakthrough, I am inclined to agree.

We can and should build extensive high-speed rail networks, though. This will provide intra-continental mobility at a price affordable for everyone. While gratuitous trips to the other side of the world will no longer be feasible, fast intra-continental trips can in many cases take their place. Flying can remain a niche for when it’s completely unavoidable, in which case we should be able to absorb the emissions.

Actual emissions taxing is basically a necessary step when it comes to air travel - currently, the fuel is completely tax free and that’s not great. Take all of that money and pump it directly into rail, which is the actual way forward for intra-continental travel.

It will get more expensive and less accessible for lower income people. There’s just really no way around that.

Normally I will default to siding with workers, but I’m not siding with the pilots on this one. No way.

The old rules don’t apply under Trump unfortunately

Barring societal collapse I believe I will be able to retire, but that’s only because I’ve gotten extraordinarily lucky in life.

As mentioned in the video, these are pretty hostile to pedestrians. Without knowing too much about the subject, I wouldn’t be surprised if roundabouts beat them handily - why else would countries with better road safety opt for roundabouts over diverging diamonds?
