If they meant that they would have written it that way.
But that doesn't matter because the admin is doing it in bad faith.
But basically your "Democrats racist because 1860s" is just deeply deeply unserious and should be ignored.
The post war period wasn't equity experiments you dunce. It was just high marginal rates and plenty of public investments.
Dull the edge of ambition. This is fantastical. You are on shakier footing then I am on this which is why the appeals to emotion.
Sorry but 95% of investors don't moonshot and again you have no evidence that a high marginal rate stifles innovation when all those innovators started in a time when top rates were up over 70%. They still did it! That makes my point!
If they don't want to pay their taxes they are free to build up their companies in other countries. They won't because that argument is dumb.
The tax article is a though experiment and a bit of trolling. Good job taking it deadly serious.
Taxes are theft lol. Thanks for more edgy teenager shit.
Also kinda rude to do like 1000 words. Good day sir, next time let's focus on a single point.
-1 for bad spelling. An apostrophe is meant to show a missing letter or letters. Your hacked contraction doesn't need a apostrophe.
That is not actually entirely true, or is at least only partly true. An apostrophe is used to show a missing letter or letters, but it is also used to represent a glottal stop. This is seen most frequently in nouns, especially proper nouns. For example, while the common spelling is Hawaii, it more accurately represents to the proper pronunciation to render it as Hawai'i. Or consider names like O'Keefe, where it's being used to represent a phonetic variation on on the "O" sound that can't really be replicated with other letters. It might be even more appropriate to use an appropriately accented "O", but that's not easy to do on a keyboard. Then there's names like D'Urberville where the apostrophe sort of represents missing letters, except that De Urberville is awkward to pronounce because of the two consecutive vowel sounds, so you need a glottal stop to pronounce it properly, so when the name becomes a singular word over time, it becomes a bit of a gray area whether it represents a glottal stop or missing letters, or if maybe it's a distinction without a difference. Certainly such names often end up dropping the apostrophe (and indeed the glottal stop in prononciation in many cases). An example of this might be D'Arcy. There is of course, a famous character named Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice who is actually a very good example of this phenomenon and (at least speculatively) is a good example of some of the reasons it happens in the first place. So, of course, Mr. Darcy is wealthy British landed gentry - not actually with a noble title himself, but with a grandfather who was an Earl and his mother and aunt bore the title of Lady. The significance of the noble title is that D'Arcy is a french name and the aristocracy of England was mostly French for about 300 years or so up until the mid-thirteen hundreds (I would say it's complicated, but saying that it's merely complicated would oversimplify things). The point is that England had French-speaking aristocrats for a long period until being French went really out of fashion. So, the aristocracy shifted with the times and there was a tendency to democratize. This still went on over a long period of time and coincided with other social changes like the standardization of English spelling, etc. So names like D'Arcy in many cases switched to Darcy because reminding your English serfs/tenants/whatever that you were a French-descended noble ruling over them was not always a good idea. Of course, this was an incomplete process, with families named both D'Arcy and Darcy still around in Britain. Then of course there are names that add an extra complication like D'Eath - there are thousands of people with the last name Death in England (and statistically, you would expect maybe a dozen or so of them to be doctors and several times that to be nurses, which I am sure would be fun to hear over a hospital PA system).
Anyway, sorry, rambled on a bit there. The use of the apostrophe is just interesting. The point is though, that while replacing missing letters is one of its functions, it is rather a lot more complicated than that. Whatever else one might have to say about using "ma'sta" in the sentence the way the GP did, the use of the apostrophe clearly and properly indicates the prononciation that the GP was trying to evoke.
On top of that the CSIRO's 2024 generation report showed that solar + fuckton of batteries is cheaper than the cost of black coal. In 2024 even with the added cost of batteries renewables is now cheaper and the most economically sane approach.
The anti-renewables people are running out of edge cases to hide in.
No, the anti-nuclear people aren't spurious in Australia, they are universal and backed by anti-nuke legislation in every state and territory. A nuclear project doesn't even get off the ground there (it legally can't), much less well down the planning pipeline.
cheaper power has not eventuated in any place where there has been a large scale shift to renewables. *snip* i live in a jurisdiction that did this conversion and the power price has more than doubled
Actually it absolutely has gone down. The problem with your energy bill is that is has a fuckton of completely irrelevant non-energy source riders on top of it. Virtually everywhere renewables have actually driven down the wholesale energy price. The retail price goes up due to changes in taxes connection fees, throwing grid maintenance costs and other shit on top. Bonus points if your grid operator has a large stake in traditional generation, then they just slap fees on your retail to make up the loss of profits they yielded to cheaper renewables.
The exception is markets which operate on peak marginal cost like Europe because until we get more batteries than we have gas fired capacity peak marginal cost is always set by small scale gas. And even in those markets it's the renewable sector which derives the most profit from the wholesale energy cost.
because renewables donâ(TM)t cut it in the early evening so you have to either buy imminently expensive storage or fossil fuel capacity to make up the short fall.
That's a very 2010s comment. In the meantime the Australian government's own modelling from the CSIRO 2024 generation report shows that right now already renewables + firming (firming is the batteries that help them provide peak power in the times needed, - the thing you say makes it so expensive) is equal to the average and low estimate price, but less than the high estimate cost of black coal power production.
Sarcasm is not obvious on Slashdot anymore. There's far too many idiots who genuinely believe the things you said. In the future finish your post with
This isn't new by the way. People have legitimately been claiming company X being oh so innovative for decades now, despite said company stealing the idea from someone else who invented it first.
Finally someone used the correct language. Too many people here say "don't buy devices which connect to the cloud". The key word "required" is often left out.
I have a lot of cloud connected devices. 100% of them work with full functionality if the cloud is "down". Heck I have speakers with a cloud app and Spotify connect. If my internet dies and my phone is in the bottom of the river I can open up http://speakermodel-serialnumb... and have full capabilities of the app. Though Spotify connect obviously needs internet to work.
They deployed some in Japan, but it turned out that even the low temperature ones were not significantly cheaper or better than the rapidly improving Chinese lithium ion ones.
Toyota may be in the same position. They have been promising this for a long time, but if you look at their claims from a few years ago they aren't really any better than what CATL and BYD are shipping today. Theoretically longer lifespan perhaps, but batteries already outlast the rest of the car. BYD is selling cars that charge at 1000kW, so speed isn't really an issue. Modern chemistries are very hard to ignite. Chances are their tech will be expensive when it arrives, so not very competitive.
