I suspect that because of minimal reporting requirement, the real number is higher. What the real number is, I can't say with certainty. 27T is the size of the US economy in 2023, so 20% is ~5.5T
This is only a problem if you think the purpose of the pier was to provide aid to Gaza. If you understand that everything the US military does is simply to provide public money to private interests, then this is a completely unremarkable event.
Sounds like the problem here is the "government scrutiny" not steam.
I doubt the US is trying to overthrow Netanyahu, but if they were, I'm glad of it.
What a garbage article. Elon sucks, the cyber truck sucks, but an article about tweets is less than worthless. Perhaps the article instead of assuming elon just "didn't have time to run tesla properly", should dig a bit deeper and demonstrate that tesla was successful despite elon, not because of elon. Same with Space-X or Star-link.
Now as far as why the cyber truck is getting stuck in snow, tires is the low-effort answer, but maybe look at the weight of the truck versus the contact area. Maybe look at how the traction control system works? How about whether the car is front wheel bias vs rear-wheel biased. Does it make assumptions about which wheels have contact to the ground? Does it have a differential or are all 4 wheels independently controlled? (I don't know the answer to any of these by the way, but if I were concerned about a vehicle getting stuck in the snow, I'd certainly want an analysis that addresses all of the above.)
Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.
Perhaps if Europe claims to care about human rights so much, they should simply stop funding, supporting or otherwise enabling a genocidal state?
Hey Janet, is there anything else we can afford? Maybe health care?
It's just too expensive to save the planet. I'm glad that our governments were making the tough Choices, to continue burning coal and other fossil fuels because the economy just couldn't handle the burden of not growing by another 5% every year.
CO2 "offsets" have always been bullshit green washing. The only way to regulate emissions is by directly regulating emissions. Not coming up with elaborate loopholes.
This is a bad chart with lots of data issues. It apparently consists of two points, 1995 and 2017. The source is some data aggregator that isn't clear, and of course the differentiation between the categories is non-existent. what is the difference between "church," "friends," or "neighbors?" What is the difference between "school" and "college."
That said obviously there are more "online" couples between 1995 where the only options were AOL or IRC chatrooms and 2017 where actual dating apps existed that were easily accessible via your phone.
My Take: I agree the internet has changed society in the past 22 years. Thanks shitty chart from reddit. I now have a greater awareness of the significance of the internet.
Wow! Truly our generous lord, supply side Jesus, is amazing. Not only were building these military vehicles the best use of resources 20 years ago when no one was asking for them, but they actually save us money and it's even good for the environment to ship them across the world in the present day. What an amazing and perfect world the MIC has created for us.
