"What about this photo frame"
"Oh I was thinking of keeping that on top of the dresser in case I went ahead and bought it"

"What about this beeswax polish"
"In case I bought this wooden bowl instead of the photo frame"

There's enough evidence. Ban PFAS!

Boycott the companies that use them, that make them, or even think about fighting bans in court!

Keeping things shiny is no excuse for killing people.

I see the 'correlation is not causation' FUD-wars start up all over again as we saw smoking, then passive smoking, and now vaping.

Look another level deeper, those private profits fund companies which hire those students so the loan repayments are made from the salaries those private parties pay out. Its called an economy.

I was referring to Zionist terrorism- you know the founding blocks of Israel The Lehi, Irgun and other terror groups?

Huh? Chatgpt is that you?

Thats because 1970 was an outlier. After WW2 US had 2 decades of outlier prosperity due to shortage of labor as well as a large infusion of tech from British and German sources which changed entire industries. If you instead compared with 1930 you would see that todays's salaries have kept up with inflation. The middle class lifestyle on a high school education was a shortlived ephemeral phenomenon.

Its not an absurd feature. With the amount of spam calls and robocallers nowadays , I get a strange satisfaction by hanging up by folding the phone. Almost as satisfying as slamming down a landline receiver. You cant do that with a normal cellphone. You have to gently push the cancel button. My Flip 5 is worth the price just for that satisfaction.

I wouldnt call somebody a self flagellator just because they oppose terrorism by their co-religionists.

Wiki had banned entire IP ranges if they were not from US and allied countries. Any rando from the West could edit pages but non Westerners had to login to edit. The entire site had become politically slanted towards whatever narrative the Western Liberal Media was pushing at the moment.

So I am not surprised Russia wants to push its narrative locally.

And since the Wiki foundation was profiting off the free work of the original wiki editors many of whom were NOT westerners, they really cant complain when the Russians do it to them.

India is big and the grids have many 3000 kms long HVDC interconnects. When night is falling in the East, its still sunny in the west. If India used timezones it would be 3 time zones. India is also in the tropics so even in winter it has at least 8 hours of sunlight. So even during the worst time for solar - Winter nights, only about 12 hours of storage are needed. Plus India has 12 nuclear plants and is building another 20. It also has hundreds of fossil fuel plants and is building at least 50 more. India on per capita basis uses 1/10th the energy of an average westerner so there is a lot of growth needed in energy sources. India is not choosing renewable over non-renewable; its building everything because it needs the power to bring people out of poverty.

When you put solar panels in the desert, the area under the panel is cooler than the rest of the ground due to shadow. With a large enough solar plant, the local temp drops and water starts to condense on the underside of the panels. Soon robust desert grasses start to grow. One of the best ways to regreen a desert is build a solar plant on it.

What if the user dies? Is silence consent to the site's unilaterally changed T&Cs?

What if a modelling agency does this:?

We really need a new party - call it the party of the young.
Platform should be
1) a 65 year retirement age for all Political office
2)Social security to be defunded and the funds used to payoff college debt.
3) The kids can take care of their parents in old age if they dont have the burden of college loans.
4) After age 70 you will have to pass a mental competency test every 2 years to be allowed to vote.

If such a party comes to power all this stupidity will stop.

Google was founded using DARPA grants. So by your logic Google is a division of the US military?

So same reason as facebook wont sell to China?
