Yeah. But with gasoline. You get...gasoline. Something for something.

With "carbon credits" you get...what? Some guy going "Good for you dude! And thanks for the cash!". Something for nothing.

And the largest contributing factor? A bunch of UFO loonies calling in every gnat, housefly, thermal mirage, and assorted hallucination brought about by acid and peyote trips.

Not quite. Win8 (and by extension) Windows 10, still has problems where previously unified interfaces for controlling system behavior have been split between Metro/Modern apps and traditional windows.

One example: in Win7 I click the network icon in the notifications area and a small window pops up with the connections; I can then right-click a connection and select Status for information on what IP/DNS is currently assigned or Properties to get to its security information.

Clicking the network icon on Win10 does the same thing as Win8: giant Metro panel covering a large portion of the screen, most of it wasted in "Airplane Mode" that I have no use for, and right-clicking the connection only has options that are more at home in a cellphone than in a desktop OS: estimated data usage, metered connection, forget this network. Clicking "View Connection Settings" opens another Metro-style "PC Settings" window that is designed for touch, so OS standards like right-clicking don't work.

In short, it's still trying to integrate two different UI designs, and it still doesn't work. It's not as terrible as Win8 at it, but it's still in plenty of places to be annoying. It's also very inconsistent in what gets a Metro panel and what doesn't.

And women in nursing eventually turn into lazy, tactless, soulless, cackling harridans. The REAL reason why men don't stay in nursing positions.

At least, this was the situation that chased me from my nursing position 13 years ago.

My compassion had nothing to do with it. I simply had had enough of the inconsiderate bitchiness and declined to stay employed in the nursing field.

Oh well. At least the stress levels working in IT is lower. And if I break a computer, I can fix it.

Having come from the field of nursing, that's NOT how they get rid of guys.

Basically, BECAUSE you're a guy, it means you're superhumanly strong, so that 800 lb double-knee patient who just shit the big-boy-bed down the hall can be gotten out of bed by you all by your lonesome, regardless of body mechanics, or regardless of how it affects YOUR patient load.

And you get female nurses of limited skills and unlimited volume talking to you like you're an idiot. But when you refuse to allow them to talk to you that way, you're being an unprofessional, misogynistic prick, and therefore must be fired for cause and a black mark set on your record.

And the laws regarding what can and cannot be said about a person by a former employer?

*Wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

I vote "media narrative" thing.

Yes. But, but having an uneven number of something doesn't mean it's automatically bad, wrong, exclusionary or in need of "correction" either.

Simply throwing someone into a position because they do or do not happen to have a dick doesn't mean you're putting someone competent or appropriate in place.

You want to work on something that could HUGELY advance connection speeds in the US?

Work on a law neutralizing all the contact clauses that keep municipally owned fiber networks dark.

Require a "must lease" clause for the municipality and specify a 5 year interval with exclusions of previous lesees if they didn't actively develop the network (to prevent the likes of Comcast from just leasing the networks from the municipalities and then sitting on them.

And you keep forgetting that things like solar and wind cannot be used as baseline power without VAST implementation changes and an improvement in storage technology of several orders of magnitude.

Plus there's the face that there are places you simply should NOT be putting solar and wind power generation.

So you're saying, without a carbon tax, with the other sources of power HEAVILY subsidized by pork, CURRENT low prices in a market the US simply DOES NOT control and with absolutely insane bias against implementation (with accompanying punitive levels of investment required), that Nuclear isn't price competitive. And with anti-nuke nuts going in circles with "This stuff needs reliable storage NOW!" and "Oh! Not THERE!", starting projects they have no intention of completing, and killing projects that already have sunk the majority of their budget. Costing taxpayers billions?

Well, DUH.

Sorry. But simply defining an argument as a strawman doesn't make it a strawman.

Try harder.

Again, the sun doesn't shine all the time. And there's no storage grid large enough to actually hold that kind of power. Nor is there a planetary grid to help roll-over power.

And there are places that make solar panels seasonably unfeasible.

In the US, solar provides a scant fraction of total power use. Ramping it up several thousand percent just isn't do-able. It's not affordable for everyone to implement, the US power industry couldn't absorb that power and still afford to rebuild and maintain a grid and China couldn't supply the volumes you're talking about in a timely manner.

Instead of TL DR, learn to fucking read and stop trying to shovel your uninformed shit on everyone else you ignorant little nothing.

Luckily, your simply wanting this to be true in no way alters reality.

Say it PROPERLY please.

It, in no way, makes it more attractive to YOU.

As for the "potential to be far more deadly". Bullshit. It's a binary equation. Sorry. All the relativism is just scaremongering.

Again, keep saying it. It'll keep NOT being true.

For their solution!

I'm not saying that low voter turnout isn't a problem.

But it's a problem of laziness, apathy and misinformation.

Bitcoin is just flat-out NOT equipped for solving those problems.
