You deleted the punctuation but to do it right you need to let all the ideas flow together in a run on stream of consciousness so there is no way to split the ideas apart even when reading it three times as you try to make sense of a meandering paragraph long sentence which is grammatically valid aside from some missing commas to give you a clue where the individual chunks of information are in the unorganized soup of thoughts which might even have a rational point and a period at the end.

So it's a plan with no drawbacks?

I do recognize that this is an issue for the disabled, but it's unsustainable for them as well, and I reject temporary solutions that aren't backed up by permanent ones. If the plan is only to kick the can and wish for a miracle, it's a bad plan.

That's not even wrong, it's just not how anything works. You're comparing a motor to an energy storage mechanism and also ignoring efficiency at the same time.

Monthly payments matter. Also when people are poor and can't afford big payments and the vehicles are very expensive then they wind up spending a lot in interest. TCO matters but so does monthly cost.

They have existed for decades. What did you actually mean to say?

No military of consequence is going to shift to purely electric vehicles any time soon because of refueling times alone, but in number of roles an EV has an advantage because it's quiet and reliable. If you can deliver a tanker truck, then you can deliver a generator.

Most of my coworkers have to go out of county for even fairly basic medical care because there isn't anything available here and wait times can be into the months. I had referrals for over a year that I never even got a call back on. It's not clear why you think that the USA has functional medical care, but in many cases and places it very much does not.

It depends on how you define it. If you think of it from a purely mineral basis then sure, the arctic is not looking at many changes. If you're thinking about the animal life that is there, it's in trouble. We are not the only animals on this mudball.

I want gig workers to receive a living wage whether I am doing business with them or not, but this is the wrong way to try to accomplish that.

The right way is to change the employment laws such that they have to be paid decently, and to raise the minimum wage if necessary, etc.

Trying to solve the problem with tips is completely wrong. They're supposed to be an expression of appreciation above and beyond what you need to survive, not the basis of survival. Trying to trick the customer into paying that indirectly is some bootlicking bullshit which also disguises the true cost of survival.

That's not the argument. The argument is (actually, arguments are):

1) It wasn't worth $20M, they could have done the same thing in house for less
2) It shouldn't have been built in, it should have been an add-on, they could have shipped it with the browser.

1 is the most pertinent given the story we're discussing, but 2 is also important. By putting it into the browser instead of making it an extension when there's absolutely no need for it to be built in, they forced it on users. They also have a Microsoftesque habit of turning on things you've turned off when you do an update, which is sometimes achieved by simply not doing anything rational with users' config settings when the code has changed and their meaning now differs, so that you have to refresh your profile to make the browser work correctly.

Firefox should have less stuff built into it, not more.

The economic system has allowed the worst people to become wealthy and powerful since the earliest times. You're mostly right about the other stuff though, it at least had civility for some.

Once you've found out about fish sauce, not much is scary.

Wrong trope, it's you didn't build that. And it's accurate as stated. Practically every datasheet includes a reference design circuit which is intended and provided for people actually SmarterThanYou to integrate into their own designs. It's not a complete design for a product, so there is still potentially work to be duplicated if you are really into that.

It hasn't been proven in court, but there's been more solid evidence presented than there was against Cosby. Who, BTW, totally also did all that shit, inb4 some bullshit

Sure, makes sense.

I had plenty of reasons not to vote for her, I just had more reasons not to vote for you know who, and I know how first past the post voting systems work. A lot of people seem to have trouble with that and think that a protest vote is a real thing.
