Comment The real question (Score 1) 252

The real question is what is the percentage of overall greenhouse emissions. Food accounts for ~26% of total production. So about 15% is from meat. While fossil fuels account for over 60% of all. So if we can reduce our dependence on that sector by 25%+ we can afford to eat meat.

I have to imagine there was underlying misconduct. E.g. attending a call with no pants or watching porn on another tab or making derogatory remarks about the boss thinking they are on mute. If simply making a mistake was enough to get fired, I don't think that culture cares if it is on a zoom call or an in person meeting.

There's two things that matter, one is energy storage capability and joules is fine for that. The other is discharge and recharge capability. ISR can limit the output current, so it is very possible to have something with extreme energy storage and very little power output due to a high ISR.

They bought the clock from Microchip, and spun a board to convert the USB output to PCI-E. This is hardly ground breaking. Hell, the datasheet even says :enterprise network infrastructure is an application for this thing. Stand-alone (free-run) stable frequency source for audio equipment, LTE base stations, smart grid and enterprise network infrastructure

You are right, we will have to worry about him wearing a tan suit. I don't think I can relive the nightmare of the Obama tan suit again. It's just too much, for the love of God Biden, please don't bring shame onto the US by wearing a tan suit. /s

There isn't anything necessarily nefarious about this. It is better off for the city for this to be used and tax revenue collected. While I agree Epic might seem like a toxic waste dump, the actual office isn't going to be harmful for the surrounding properties. All the local restaurants will love the new lunch crowds.

Did Trump order nursing homes in NY, NJ, PA, MI, and CA to take back Covid-19 infected patients? Or were those states run by Demorat governors intent on creating a disaster to blame on Orange Man?

Those states followed the CDCs guidance. And they happened to be the first ones hit. Why did they follow the CDCs guidance? Because the point of a federal government is to have the combined resources of all the states rather than 50 states having to figure out things like this instead of 50 states having to each solve the same problem 50 times. Flordia and Texas and other R states watched NY and the problems they had, they saw exactly what to do, what not to do. Yet they've managed to screw it up worse than NY which had no preview.
