It's a shame this is now of a grift to raise money for Trump than actually addressing the underlying issue.. eg mandate companies that want toimport labour have a training program in place to train new starters/graduates to fill these roles, and also have a neutral industry commission that keeps track of actual skilled labour shortages and can say no to h1b visas if the company is just trying to get cheaper non-local labour when there are local skilled people available

If this is an optional item, it's really incumbent on the importer/seller to select appropriate options. I live in Australia where most (all?) vehicles are imported, and the local importer selections the range of options and ALSO does specific tuning/modifications for the local environment/market (e.g. suspension tuning for bad roads and engine tunes for higher air intake temperatures). If the importer/reseller doesn't option correctly, of course it's not going to be so great. In Australia only very few locales need a battery heater.

This isnâ(TM)t new at all â" itâ(TM)s been well understood for decades. Cold doesnâ(TM)t permanently reduce a batteryâ(TM)s capacity, it just makes part of it temporarily inaccessible because the chemistry slows down. Thatâ(TM)s why EVs have battery heaters: they use a bit of energy to warm the pack so it can deliver higher current and more of its rated capacity. Once the pack warms up, the âoemissingâ energy is right there again. Anyone writing this up like itâ(TM)s some shocking revelation is either clueless or doing a beat-up piece on behalf of the fossil fuel lobby.

You know Toyota engines are renowned for reliability with the right mods perform well too.

Next, something about indian IT outsourcing and not trusting them to run IT???

What a surprise factoids keep ending up in conservative government publications now.

I'm Australian, married to a Colombian with three kids. We have two ways of traveling to Colombia, via Chile and via USA. There is zero chance I'd risk trying to go through the USA. Just the risk of no right to due process is enough to put me off.

Why would anyone "buy" any content through these streaming media services? It's clear you have ZERO rights to continue to use that content beyond their discretion. I recall reading the fine print on DVDs, where it was clear the copy of music you have is a strictly limited license. Even then the MPAA and RIAA were going after anyone that wanted to even backup the content the customer had bought a DVD of and didn't want to risk getting scratched.

I think I've provided a proof of Poe's Law

Yeah, Poe's law applies. ðYðY(TM)f

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has offered a valuable correction to long-held assumptions in medical science: the notion that adjusting for confounding variables somehow "clarifies" findings is, on closer inspection, simply a distortion of the data's natural story. After all, if a strong correlation appears in the raw numbers, who are we to question it? This latest study demonstrates what many have long suspected - that efforts to account for complexity often just complicate the truth. The idea that âoecausationâ should be distinguished from correlation has, frankly, led us astray. Future research would do well to take a more transparent approach: let the data speak clearly, unfiltered, and free of the heavy editorial hand of statistical controls. If it feels true, that should be evidence enough..

I'm constantly fending off fake accounts who just exist to spam. Facebook never actually bans them though. I'm convinced Facebook doesn't want to get rid of the fakes because it boosts their "user" count. An absolutely sick of it and don't see the point in having my own real account if they're this bloody useless.

For Enterprise-Lexicon-Only Stakeholders: De-risk Comms, Uplift OKRs, Retire Jargon Debt

Team, quick pulse-check: the latest peer-reviewed insight artifact flags a material comms drag. Over-indexing on synergy-speak is creating cognitive latency, negative sentiment, and outreach suppression across swimlanes. Older cohorts will raise a clarify ticket; early-career ICs hard-mute, spawning dark workstreams and orphaned knowledge. Net-net: excessive buzzword bandwidth is sand in the gears of our value creation engine and a blocker to KPI attainment.

Proposed operating model uplift (low lift, high ROI, immediate path to green):
1) Spin up a Plain-English-as-a-Platform capability as our single source of truth. Owner: Comms PMO. KPI: comprehension delta at UAT.
2) Implement a jargon lint gate in the authoring pipeline. SLA: 24h. Exit criteria: readability score >= target, glossary hits
3) Institutionalize a Pause-and-Translate interlock in live forums. Trigger: 2+ tier-1 buzzwords per sentence. Action: convert to human-speak in under 15 seconds
4) Onboarding enablement: micro-sprint on legacy acronym detox. Sunset any term failing the 5-second recall test. If it needs a glossary, it is comms tech debt.
5) Post-mortems: tag miscommunication as a root cause with before/after artifacts. Feed the learnings back into the lint gate as guardrails.
6) Leadership behaviors: model clarity-first narratives. If your all-hands is a buzzword salad, you are shipping confusion-as-a-service.

North Star: ship clarity. Treat human-readable language as core platform infra. Everything else is undifferentiated word soup wearing a KPI.

25 years is also a bit of a joke. It's basically a license to print money, once every >25years you just cut it all down (sell it), then re-plant! rinse, repeat, profit. It's shonky.

Planting trees helps, but it is not a reliable long-term carbon vault. Forest carbon is reversible: fire, drought, pests, and logging can dump decades of stored CO2 back to the air in a single season. Climate change makes those risks worse, not better. Projects also struggle with extra accounting problems: additionality (would the trees have grown anyway), leakage (deforestation shifts elsewhere), and measurement/verification uncertainty over decades. None of this means trees are bad; protecting existing forests and restoring native, diverse ecosystems bring big co-benefits. But treating tree planting as a durable substitute for cutting fossil emissions is wishful thinking. The sensible hierarchy is: slash emissions first, protect intact forests, restore where it makes ecological sense (especially in the tropics), and use conservative buffers and long-term management. For durable storage over centuries to millennia, look to geological or mineralization approaches.
