Charging on the road is actually more expensive than buying gasoline. Charging at home is MUCH cheaper and most of the charging gets done at home.

But the real issues are rentals, condos, and work. The lack of charging at these sites is an issue.

If your apartment/condo has parking spots, some should have electrical chargers and the price should be at cost, not a profit center for the apartment/condo. Same for work places.

This needs to be a law, otherwise bad landlords/condos/offices will try to make a profit here, thinking they are offering a 'service' and should be compensated. They are not offering a service unless the locations are open to the public.

The worst nuclear power plant disaster - Chernobyl - is NOT a disaster even 40 years later. The wildlife around it is thriving because while the radioactivity is dangerous and deadly, it is less so than the humans used to be.

Even now, with Russia bombing it to kingdom come, Russian bullets are killing more humans than Chernobyl radioactivity.

The highest body count from nuclear power plants is from nuclear bombs whose fissionable materials were created in nuclear power plants.

Burning coal releases radioactive thorium, maddening mercury and stupefying lead.

Any logical person would replace all coal power plants with nuclear ones.

Solar and wind have a max desirable amount. You do not want more than 25% in either of those intermittent sources because then you end up spending more on batteries than you do on power plants and distribution.

Hydro is the best of the green energies because it is more consistent and predictable. The countries that have more than 80% renewables do it with at least 30% hydro or geothermal. You can max out those two without concern.

Nuclear has less of an effect on the environment than Hydro (because you need to flood lands that were not deserts because they were close to water). Coal causes more deaths from radioactivity than Nuclear does. (Because coal includes some radioactive material in it that goes up in smoke). The only exception is if you were a soviet designer that insisted your plant in Ukraine did not need the same safety precautions they used in the West.

If Germany wants to get better they need to man up, ignore the scaredy cats terrified of nuclear radiation and end the Coal based radiation by shutting down the coal plants. If they did that, they could make themselves a green country.

But people are stupid and think nuclear = radioactive death and coal = smelly air, rather than coal = radioactive death AND Climate Change AND smelly air.

1) Is this a major focus of Chinese spies?
1a) Yes. They love to scare their ex-citizens. They threaten anyone they think is 'important', especially if they speak out about China because they think their reputation is valuable. Which is a joke. China is part of the 'face' cultures - they care more about what people say publicly than think privately so spend an inordinate amount of time shutting people up publicly even though their real reputation is worthless among anyone that does not fall for stupid propaganda.

2) Was he corrupt?
2a) Yes. He had assets seized. A Chinese general cannot legally obtain assets worth seizing. That is like asking an American that owns a car if he ever broke the speed limit. He might have only done it by 1 mph, but he definitely did. The real question is was he more corrupt than other generals - and that we do not know.

3) Could the US stop this?
3a) Yes. It is not that hard to figure out who is doing this. The Chinese operatives are rather slipshod. They get away with crap because the US does not care. We spend more money on arresting hispanic citizens of the US than stopping this crap. This article came from Midland, Texas. I've driven through there on the way to El Paso. If he did not bring a wife and/or children with him, then he is there for nefarious purposes.

4) Should we stop this?
4a) He gave us nothing. Probably because he knew nothing we did not already know. Is China planning on invading Taiwan? Yes. Have they set a date? No. Are they building massive numbers of ship? Yes. Are they small ships less effective than ours? Yes. Do they have missiles? Yes. Are they good missiles? He does not really know - people below him probably lied. Do they have drones? Yes. Are they cheaper and not quite as good as ours? Yes. etc. etc.

Cause if I were an AI company I would do my ratings like this:

Nazi
Maga
Very Conservative
Moderately Conservative

Then tell him that the following were possibilities:

Liberal
Woke
Communist

Even though not a single AI got that those ratings.

They did not mention the German equivelent of a warrant.

Cant he police do this at will? (as in, no one checking to see if the officer is doing it to his ex-wife?) Or do they require a Judge's permission (aka search warrant)

Anyone know the answer?

Without a warrant, this seems like an obviously bad idea. Cops should care more about guilt then they should care about protecting the innocent. But judges should be the other way around.

1) Obtain massive amount of money that you do not own - whether by grant, loan, or in this case payment for a movie.

2) Look at 'gambling/investment' realize you could theoretically double your money, and come up with a 'brilliant' idea.

3) If it works, keep the secret profit and use the money for what you claimed you were going to do it. If not, get caught and go to jail.

4) Repeat until you get caught and go to jail.

The executive Branch executes the laws the Legislative Branch votes into power. The president has no power to make laws except as granted by Congress.

Congress has granted the executive branch a bunch of power, AI is new and Congress has not granted the President much powers over it.

Whether the current Supreme Court will obey the intention of the Constitution or Congress is another issue.

:Roll Eyes: Would they kick their own babies out once they hit ten million?

They do not have to think about that because, their birthrate, like most Europeans is below replacement rate. 1.29 children per woman. To keep their population stable, they need immigrants and should accept them.

What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants.

I get the fact that there was huge malfunction in the system that was supposed to limit each donor to less than 10 people.

I get the fact that there were inadequate/mistakes screenings.

But the real question is what description led it to be chosen over 200 times by the customers?

Hypothesis: Tall, handsome, doctor.
Null hypothesis: Kind, loving, honorable

Anyone willing to bet on the null?

You do not get to choose the product and the product could easily be from a grocery store 100 miles away.

There is no good reason why grocery delivery in the super expensive cities - New York, Zurich, etc. should be expensive. It should be cheaper. Grocery stores on the outskirts of the city could easily set things up so that they deliver food at a steep discount to the high priced grocery stories in them becuase they could pay literally half the rent.

But Demand is so high for food and the inhabitant are so used to paying high prices that they charge MORE for the food than the neighborhood grocers let alone for the delivery.

Two possibilities:

1) Calibri is helpful: In which case Rubio is a shmuck, making it harder to read by undoing the advantage it offered over Times new Roman.

2) Calibri is not helpful: In which case it was a waste of time and money to change to Calibri but that also means it is a waste of time and money to change back so Rubio is a shmuck.

His stated reason "Decorum and professionalism" was untested opinion. There is nothing unprofessional about the font Calibri. Changing it because your opponent liked it is unprofessional and childish.

If you want to cooperate with law enforcement you can always CHOOSE to do it yourself.

The problem is RING and a lot of others do not really give you the choice - they make you cooperate with them, taking control of it - even against you. You get into a fight with your neighbor on your doorstep, they will get the footage and use it against you. Your daughter comes home drunk and the cops use the footage in her DWI case.

It's not about doing things illegal, it's about YOUR rights. The cops love to ignore them. You should not be forced to pay for the cops to illegally spy on you.

If you buy the camera and set up everything, you get all the benefits with no downsides and you pay less money.
