As I remember, at the beginning PC's were offered with PC-DOS, CP/M-86 or UCSD Pascal. MS's contract allowed them to set the price of the OS's as I understand, so only one was cheap.

IBM has decided to let the marketplace determine which of its three operating systems will become dominant (if any). Thus, you can get UCSD Pascal, CP/M-86, or the IBM Personal Computer operating system from Microsoft. You can have all three if you want; it's a nice choice.

So has parts of eastern BC, MST all year round, though for how long I don't know. Lived in Creston around '82. In the summer the clocks aligned with the rest of BC and in the winter, aligned with Alberta. Parts of the Peace country are similar.

America never initiated those conflicts and was part of a larger alliance which included the Soviets. There was also the memory of how regime change had ended up after the Great War, namely Fascism and Nazism.

My wife goes to the library almost weekly and gets 10-15 DVD's and Blu-rays, though mostly DVD's as the Blu-rays are more likely not to play.
These are a combination of recent releases and old releases such as today I noticed Adam-12 in her pile.
Extra handy as we don't have the best internet, LTE with a 500GB data cap.

In India? A lot there seem to be electric, which seems easier to set up the infrastructure for in a 3rd world country. Even here in Canada, I haven't noticed a LNG pump at a gas station in a long time. For a while they were somewhat common, over 25 years back now.

I was reading an article the other day about rickshaw electrification in India. Can't find the recent article, here's an older one, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbc.ca%2Fnews%2Fworld%2F... which doesn't mention the shift to solar+batteries that is now happening in India at an accelerating rate. Article also mentioned the problem of electricity theft.
The other problems, farming and construction are going to be harder, especially the farming as farmers are a powerful lobby in India.
Plus, it takes some wealth for people to care and a good chunk of India's population is dirt poor. Though on the other hand, the poor are easier to please, enough electricity for a stove, fridge, cell phone charger and a couple of LED lights is a huge improvement for many, even if cooking has to be done in the day.

Actually, the 2nd successful space station was Skylab. The 2 or 3 follow up missions after Salyut 1 failed in various ways and were never crewed.

Did America ever have 20 cent pieces? Yes, in 1875. So options are a dime and 20 cent piece or a quarter and half dime, which stopped being minted in 1873.

In a weird way, he does have a point. For example, catalytic converters convert soot (carbon), CO (which, while not a greenhouse gas, competes for OH which leads to more CH4 in the atmosphere) and hydrocarbons into CO2 and H20. Remove the catalytic converters and less CO2 will be emitted. Of course the soot, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are worse for our health, especially on a short timescale.
It also leaves NOx out of the equation. NOx is a worse greenhouse gas (300x) then CO2 as well as being bad for you in small quantities and catalytic converters also change that into N2 and O to combine with the carbon to make even more CO2.
So in summary, get rid of catalytic converters and less CO2 will be emitted. In exchange we will have more greenhouse gases as well as more toxic gases.

I remember an ammonia leak at the ice rink. People died.

Set off all the nukes and the Earth will still be much more habitable then Mars.

The US and China are getting more similar, what with China expanding its influence and America moving further from the rule of law.
The fact is that currently, the US is more of threat to my freedom then China, along with much of the world, especially in the America's.
As for the people, other then the fact that American's have elected Trump, again, I never said anything about the individual Americans.

You don't need the capacity to charge half of all EV's at once. Personally, I drive around 300 km a week so if I had an EV, I'd be charging closer to once a week. I also know people with EV's and rooftop solar who seldom charge from the grid.
Sadly most of the rest of your comment is close to true.

So you understand the problem with Tesla, produced in a hostile oppressive state that wants to annex its neighbours.

My memory must be going. It does appear you are right though I was over 55 at the time and my memory is that it was discontinued for everyone in my Province.
