Truly, good riddance.

Percentages can be misleading, though. The article didn't talk about real numbers, only percent increases; presenting the delta imparts very little information on its own, and I find that suspect. Suppose the global car market is 1 million per year, and electric cars are produced at a rate of 10,000 a year, but only 1000 sold the previous year, while this year 1260 sold. This means 17740 cars are sitting there gathering dust. You could still claim that the growth of sales were 26% over the previous year, without letting on that what you're trying to sell as a resounding success is in reality a dismal failure of the greatest magnitude.
I'm not saying that situation reflects reality, only that there are liars, damned liars, and then there consultants.

As long as a plant stores carbon in the form of cellulose and lignin, and it continues to grow, it is a net CO2 sink. That's all that matters; anything else is a matter of efficiency; maybe one species is better than another. Kudzus strike me as an option. We could literally take that cellulose and turn it into neutral charcoal (burn it) and dump it in a subduction zone in deep part of the ocean, or make giant algae farms and pump the resulting biomass underground. I'm certain either would be more efficient (energy and economically) than this operation.

Personally, I took that change as a feature upgrade. So little of the suggested videos on that page were of interest to me that I long ago set my youtube shortcut to my subscriptions page--i.e. stuff I'm actually interested in seeing.

There's at least a couple of tiers of demonetization, and most of them just mean the creator doesn't receive any money from ads, but they often still play.

If this becomes a thing here, I'll make it a habit to prop open the door with some handy box of frozen food, until it goes away. One anti-social turn deserves another.

On the contrary, design wise it makes perfect sense. Millennials grew up watching reading and playing games about those 80's near future dystopias. Millennials now make up the bulk of the work force designing, manufacturing and buying vehicles. We're actively on the slide into a near future-dystopia, why not have a vehicle that's fitting for the setting?

One need only look to Marx's personal life to see that his philosophy applied to a macro scale is doomed to fail, as it doesn't much matter what people say so much as what they do. Marx lived his philosophy honestly during his lifetime: he waxed forever about the needs of the worker, but was far removed from any understanding of work. He was a professional moocher born to minor nobility / merchant class family. The only reason he kept fed during adulthood was he mooched off of Engles, after his own family tired of his mooching. Then he mooched off his students and his other cult members after Engles tired of him, and then he mooched off his wife's family, as he bid his time to implement his economic philosophy on a grand scale where ultimately he planned to mooch off of everyone. Fortunately he died too soon to see that phase of his plan.

No, the SCOTUS simply pointed out that Biden's actions were contrary TO STATUTE, and that the separation of powers prevents him from just waving his wand and ignoring that. The SCOTUS didn't pick some dollar amount out of thin air, nor set some precedent about dollar amount thresholds. They recognized the structure of a law written by congress, and recognized that Biden's handlers were trying to skate around it for purely political reasons.

You telling people we have to change out the Supreme Court in order to find a way to give more unchecked, counter-constitutional executive power to an administration like Biden's is some seriously toxic stuff.

The technology being described isn't "free energy." It's a low-energy capture device made from expensive-to-make and fragile substances that probably won't sustain very well out in the real world. It transfers a modest amount of energy from the tiny kinetic movement of water droplets in humid air as they - in their random movements - bang into the walls of the material described. A very large, very dense cube of this material might produce a few kilo watt hours of juice in a steady enough way to be useful under some specific circumstances. Who in the summary or article is saying anything about "free?" It will involve a lot of expensive, fiddly fuss to put it to work.

Wow. This is quite painful for you, isn't it. Let me guess: you lost your job at Twitter censoring content, huh? That's a shame.

Wut? This was entirely about the separation of powers. As in:

Right, sort of. That's constitutional issue. The court looks at the matter at hand, and then says, "Nope, what he's trying to do is unconstitutional." Note that the constitution doesn't spell out dollar amounts that make the power to raise and assign the spending of money a legislative activity. The threshold isn't in dollars, it's in statute. If congress doesn't pass a bill supporting a specific type of spending, nobody else gets to. The constitution is structured that way on purpose, and there's no little dollar-dial that pushes the constitution aside when you dial it down from "Medium High" to "Low."

How to tell us you haven't actually read the Heroes Act without saying it out loud, right? And that aside, yes, the Judiciary absolutely has the power to overrule congress when congressional activities (legislation, certain kinds of committee actions, etc) don't pass a test of constitutionality. But that's not the case here. Congress didn't do anything unconstitutional, the executive did.

Why? It's fine as is, and has nothing to do with someone from Suburban DC in a dual-income household making $250,000 having a plumber from Idaho work part of his day to pay off some of that prosperous couple's law school debt.

No, Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer didn't have the votes to actually pass legislation aimed at the broader (non-Heroes-Act targeted) audience whose mid-term votes they were looking to buy, so Biden's handlers took a stab at abusing executive power knowing it would still work as a sales pitch for low-information, constitutionally illiterate college students even though it would of course fail scrutiny later. Pelosi, of course, said this out loud in advance, in specific detail. Her own chamber's and party's constitutional lawyers TOLD the Dems this was an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers, and she said it. Because she knew this is exactly how it would wind up.

Activist Court? Sure, if by "activist," you mean, "acting as the check and balancing power exactly as intended by the founders who wrote the constitution and people of the nation who ratified it." If acting to preserve the separation of powers and keep the power of the purse in congress is "activism," sure, why not, call it that.

20 seconds on Google will also find you ample reports on how the Egyptian pyramids were actually made by aliens, and how mermaids, unicorns, and various forms of Sasquatch/Yeti/Bigfoot are running circles around "scientists" that just can't seem to find a single scrap of Yeti poop, a Sasquatch bone, or a tuft of Bigfoot hair despite - we're assured - thousands of years of them living in the woods behind your house.

20 seconds of Google will indeed find you reports of UFO stuff from all around the world ... but can't find you single piece of real evidence, even one, ever. How about that.

You mean the $2B that you can actually point to as being an investment in businesses that aren't a nest of phony shell LLCs, and which actually pay taxes on earnings, and which didn't distribute cash to ex-wives, and grandchildren? You mean $2B that was actually handled with proper paperwork, and about which both the investor and the company in which the money was invested are happy to discuss with anyone who asks?

Let's compare that to the web of meaningless Biden-spawned LLCs that don't actually produce anything, aren't operating as foreign agents with proper State paperwork, exchange all kinds of internal emails and texts about how to conduct their organizing meetings in secret and use code names and words to obscure the fact that loads of cash are funneled to them from the CCP and corrupt entities in the Ukraine that got beneficial treatment from The Big Guy. See? Exactly the same! Right.

The FBI just got done telling congress that they literally can't vouch for the life of the whistleblower who informed them about a straight-up quid pro quo between millions flowing from Biden's protected interests in Ukraine and bank accounts run by shells of shells of LLCs formed by the Bidens while he was VP. I know, you don't want to hear about any of that because it takes the fun out of your narrative.

Thinking you're going to make ANY sort of constructive comment on this by invoking "the gun people" shows how deliberately mal-informed you are on the topic.

"The" gun people aren't the lazy, casual owners who allow their firearms to be handled by people too young or too witless to be safe with them. Untold millions of people owning the 400+ million firearms in this country manage just fine, just like most also manage to keep young kids from backing the family car out into the street. If there was a problem with "the" gun people, it would be on a scale so enormously huge compared to the rare (but wildly hyped by the media) event of an unsupervised child doing something dreadful with a firearm.
