Not to mention, who is in control of making the tests? Mental health/aptitude tests have had a history of being at least a little bit racist, kinda like the old ‘intelligence’ tests that were designed to prevent black people from voting.
The image sensor is square… it should just shoot 1:1 scale and let you crop it to an orientation later
Hard rationing of greenhouse gas emissions
You’re more or less describing cap-and-trade, where corporations have a limit of carbon emissions as ‘credits’ which can be traded on a market. So a company that doesn’t produce as much emissions can sell their surplus credits to another company, so the market as a whole doesn’t exceed a set amount of CO2 emissions. As it stands, in this or other carbon tax based systems, people pay for emissions in the form of sales tax on CO2 producing products.

I’d imagine they’d just leave again eventually. If suburbia was an advantageous place for them, they’d already be there.
Nuclear power plants within or adjacent to urban centers, especially in colder climate regions.
Nuclear plants are somewhat geographically restricted to needing to be close to a suitable water source, there’s plenty that are next to or inside metropolitan areas. That being said, high voltage transmission means that a plant can still be a few tens of kms outside of a city before transmission losses start to add up. Also, small-scare reactors have been under development for use in remote communities.
Gray water recovery built into homes and municipal water systems.
Any sort of dirty water recovery is more efficient at the municipal scale, and plenty of towns are already doing that.
Urine collection programs for phosphate recovery.
Seems that’s not a super easy thing to do (read expensive), but there’s research being done… also apparently, a good portion of it in wastewater is from laundry soap… but as in the above, more efficient to just collect all wastewater and process it on a large scale.
Are you slow? nobody is arguing that you can hot swap a GPU. That’s not what people are correcting you on.
YOU claimed that PCIE is not PLUG AND PLAY
NO. PCIE is not plug and play.
That was your comment. It was wrong. You were wrong.
Dude… you’re the one that said PCIE isn’t plug and play, which is incorrect. Plug and play simply means not having to manually assign IRQ/DMA/etc before using the peripheral, instead being handled automatically by the system/OS, as well as having peripherals identify themselves allowing the OS to automatically assign drivers. PCIE is fully plug-and-play compatible via ACPI, and hot swapping is supported by the protocol, if the peripheral also supports it.
Don’t forget the taxes that pay for said roads
The truly infuriating part is there’s likely lots of people out there that got them on the first try or by accident
It’s PR bullshit to give an excuse for backtracking basically
For a non load bearing wall, the biggest consideration is going to be hanging drywall which is why you’ll see either 16" or 24" OC (to align with a 48" wide sheet). Since the wall isn’t meant to hold any weight above it, there’s a little more flexibility in where you place your studs, so you’re probably fine without that extra stud.
That being said, check your local building code, there might be a regulation for that.
I don’t think it’s a manufacturing thing, people sometimes use cast iron pans to melt lead for casting
Landlords run at market rate and that keeps a lot of people out, so for them that’s no housing.
That’s the worse than nothing option, because it also invites gentrification to the area, which drives up prices of everything else nearby. So now not only can people not afford a place to live, they also can’t even afford some food to eat, and are forced to migrate somewhere else. This is how you end up with homeless encampments.
The best alternative to a flawed government program is nothing, it can get far worse than that
There needs to be exactly two groups involved in deciding to terminate a pregnancy: The pregnant person, and their medical team, with the pregnant person’s choices taking precedence over everyone else’s. If they want an abortion, they get one. If the doctors believe that the pregnancy is non-viable or carries an extreme risk to the parent, then the decision to terminate should be made only by the pregnant person.
It would be similar to the self-defense laws in many red states, they’re so loose that charges almost never stick if there’s any possibility that it was self defense.
And the doctors now risk getting arrested and having their mugshot published for everyone to see, having to go to court to fight it, possibly spending time in jail while waiting for trial. There’s a saying “You may beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride”.
Dice about equal volume tomato and cucumber into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and a drizzle each of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. 5 minutes and tasty AF.
If you’re doing something where you sweat a lot, the extra sodium isn’t quite as bad
Everything I have found says that one or two cigars a week has a fairly minimal impact on cancer risk. Daily or multiple a day is probably bad though.
Before Covid, I was at about one a week, now maybe one a month during the winter and a bit more often in the summer. I usually only buy cigars when I’m on a trip to somewhere that’s cheaper than Canada, and I’ll stock up there. Fortunately, being Canadian, I can go to Cuba as well as to the US to get cigars, so my humidors have a nice combination of Cubans and new world (I have one for strictly Cubans and the second for new world). Otherwise, cigars here are stupid expensive and I’d probably only have a few a year tops (a $5 USD cigar in the states is often $20CAD or more here).
The repo could be shut down/removed, so Having copies is always a good thing. I think I read earlier that the yuzu source had already made it’s way into the wild?
Sci-fi spaceships often have the ability to dump solar-system levels of energy into propulsion, so they really only follow orbital mechanics when they’re parked at a planet. Consider if you could get from Earth to Mars in a few seconds, you’d pretty much just point yourself at it and go.
Throw in S-210, which could likely support face tracking tech for age verification, also handled by a third party. I thought Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a playbook…
Yes, your total energy consumption drops, but your electricity consumption rises as a result. Electrification of stuff that relied on burning fossil fuels means that electricity consumption goes up even while total energy consumption stays the same or drops. I’m not necessarily saying that nuclear is the solution, but it’s a solution that can at least buy us a few decades for renewables and energy storage to catch up to demand.
