Yes, coal has been a far greater disaster for society than nuclear power, but it ain't a pissing contest.

You'll be happy that as they both seem to be going away (saving another Chernobyl or worse pops) your prediction surely will stand the test of time.

That was in 2011, everybody knew about her involvement with Jeffery Epstein, who had already by that time been convinced, 'sentenced, released and was living in NYC at the time, likely even still associating together. Ellen Pao did not 'witness a crime and fail to report it' as you seem to imply, but was aghast at being at a social event with a person who should have been jailed and clearly wanted to tell people she the was uncomfortable with it.

As hyperventilating over nothing seem to be worthy of a +5 Informative, Pao must really have some haters

Wish I could say the same, about life changing (choices, right?). I do remember reading about generating a couple of coins a day, and thinking 'is that all?' although I might be totally off. I do think I saw a few discussions about early versions around here, but never ran the screen saver, instead I did SETI.

Trump's Big Lie is simply virtue signaling for a GOP dictatorship.

Write 'model legislation' then payoff the right Republican speaker and boom, you'll get your wish.

What's the actual reason to take McD's to court over this?

Lawyer likes money, wants more of it. Most humans are similar, but one profession can file a claim in court for a bunch of folks who aren't even paying them and sometimes earn money from it.

Maybe he believes it will take a change in the state law to allow, but he'll surely get some notice by those who have issues along civil rights lines. As red state privacy bills are crafted by paranoid right wingers I'd wouldn't discount that it'd take a change in law to allow.

Typed by thumbs, without spell check engaged, completely unedited. Impressive on some levels, I'd argue that it's loosely readable, has paragraph structure and not as unreasonable typically seen with such little care for grammar and spelling. Almost like fan art for 'The Expanse' as a language pushed out from decades of isolation.

Retirement is a personal version of Universal Basic Income you spend a lifetime building for yourself; then if enough it becomes 'generational wealth'. The math for a real UBI works, in part because we can just collapse most social programs into it and even remove some regulation around minimum pay. Also because it creates dignified workers, who can take the time to raise families and/or build skills.

The thing that right wingers never get is the only place where it really matter that you 'own property or investments' is in that courthouse you all despise.

Perhaps she is a liar and a cheat? Or shares a name with someone who is? Search will always be gamed and sad stories have better backstories than the arrest record. These 'reputation sites' sell the information about you. It's almost natural for them to advertise their services by claiming salacious details in search results. I'm not sure how Google eliminates them, so far it's a 'cat and mouse game', sadly they can profit from the mice, until the infestation scares off searchers.

I'm guessing that the guy in the rear was the driver thrown there in the crash, as the rate of speed seems unlikely for the turn. Maybe he climbed back there when it happened, hoping to blame it on the autopilot, but not quite realizing how bad it was already. Maybe space aliens. Maybe we'll know for real, but I doubt it, seems like one of those things that just stay weird.

Electing politicians who'd hire police that could respect people's rights would be nice too.

Many a true Hollywood story is functional an act of fraud or deception, but this guy is going to jail for it not working.

When cars go all electric will the people who refurbish ICE car parts sue them for killing off their business model due as a side effect of moving to the market overall?

The electric grid is a market with now with many suppliers, they need a way to encourage suppliers to temporarily store electricity to sell later that day (night). I see it as a stabilization force on the grid, with people unwilling or unable to vary power will 'peak out' with the grid floating about 95% for a transformer/circuit. In some places it will seem like an upgrade.

Right wingers love to make wild claims of 'laziness' even when complaining about people who've built a modern Library of Alexandra. lol.
