I do not know what to say. Hunter dropped his laptop off for repair, then failed to pick it up. It did not end up "across the country". You have revealed that you completely drink the kool aid and believe what you are told to believe.

So, you did not see where the FBI pressured Facebook to treat the Hunter Biden laptop story as misinformation just before the 2020 election?
That sure sounds like a First Amendment issue to me.

So, in other words, what Alex Berenson said in his tweet was correct, but you do not like the decisions people might reach after reading it.

It seems improbable considering that the old one did such a good job that Smallpox has been completely eliminated (and is also somewhat effective against Monkeypox), while the only mRNA vaccine we have does not prevent you from getting or transmitting COVID.

It has been some years, so I cannot find the link now, but I read an article sometime back which postulated that the initial human inhabitants migrated from Europe thousands of years before the migration from Asia over the Beringia land-bridge. I really wish I could find the article because it contained claims (some of which I confirmed, some of which seemed plausible but that I was unable to find independent confirmation of) which made the case seem extremely likely. This earlier group inhabited mostly coastal sites and was wiped out by a massive volcanic eruption. The author cited significant evidence of widespread deposits of a fairly thick layer of volcanic ash along coastal North America which had been dated to a period which fit his hypothesis and would have adequately explained why the culture he was discussing was not present when humans came across the landbridge from Asia.

Yes, but "we need to know when you drive on taxable roads vs on private property so that we can tax you correctly." Your comment has been my thought every time they bring up the idea of a gps in order to tax by mileage.

You are correct that fuel taxes are essentially impossible, but the governments are already planning for that. As a result of that they will install a GPD tracker in every vehicle so that they can "tax the mileage you drive."

Your response does not explain why China no longer wishes to aid other countries in building coal plants...and no, I don't believe they would two figs for global warming.

I guess they figure that they don't have enough coal to supply their own coal plants and to export to others. Why build plants for others (U.S. primarily) to sell their coal?

I believe that you are almost certainly correct. I suspect that for many things 2021 will also be an outlier, although not in as many areas as 2020. For the foreseeable future, one should be very cautious about reaching conclusions from data which includes data from those two years. We will not really understand the degree to which ongoing trends were altered by events of those two years vs. one or both of those years were blips in ongoing trends until 2030 at the earliest

A much more important fact is that this does not really tell us all that much. So, 42% of the INCREASE in electric generation capacity came from wind power generation, but is that because there was a lot of increased wind generation capacity? Or, was it because there was so little total increase in electric generation capacity?

What confuses me about that last bit "Western companies are slowly realizing the precedents and Chinese law are very different from European, American law." is that have done this sort of thing en masse twice before now (maybe three times). Yet Western companies keep signing up to be taken to the cleaners again.

You actually hit on the problem that foldable phones have in common with 3D TVs: both were intended as ways for manufacturers to charge premium prices, instead of being a way to meet a consumer demand.

Yes, they think there is consumer demand, but they are not doing this because there is an unmet consumer demand. They are doing it as a gimmick to charge more. That rarely works in the long run. Unfortunately for them, the consumer segment interested in this is not, for the most part, those willing to pay for a premium phone. I suspect that the market for these phones are mostly people whose target price point is $200-$300, but would be willing to spend an extra $100-$200 for a flip phone. The manufacturers are looking for a price point of $1000 or more.

Laws requiring "journalists" to meet standards work really well when the harebrained BS stories are the ones which the government wants them to print.

Strom Thurmond was the ONLY Dixiecrat who did not return to the Democratic Party. All of the rest returned the the Democratic Party and served out their political careers as powerful and respected members of that party.
