Let's put it like this.

• Natural Gas accounts for 12% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Wind accounts for 30% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Solar accounts for 19% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Biomass accounts for 8.5% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Lignite accounts for 16% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Hard coal accounts for 6% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Other sources (Coal Gas, Incinerator plants, Oil, Hydro) make up less than 8% of electricity generation in 2025

Now you can throw around buzzwords like deindustrialization, or you can look at the actual numbers.

They might use ADVA (now known as Adtran), which, while technically being owned by an U.S. entity, are developed and build in Meiningen, Germany.

Four degrees Fahrenheit is nothing . Florida is hot in the summer anyway, and oil-tankers love  ice-free  northern oceans. But, as solutions go  that's just the tip of the iceberg.  We have all those newly minted nuclear power plants to cool our buildings and even construct reverse green-houses for sugar maple & birch. Thank gawd we built 30 6-GWatt units starting in Y2K, because ...  oh wait ...

I think a lot of EVs can do this. My very early Model 3 (not 4WD or Performance model) could do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for a while (before Tesla nerfed the acceleration).

That's not the problem, the problem is that it becomes really easy to find homes likely to have cash stored ... especially with an insider.

He won't take any cash, but some of his friends will make a visit later.

You're painting a target on your back.

...I pay $10/month for my search results, and I'd rather pay Kagi $10/month than use Edge and Bing....and the worst part, is that I don't find Bing results to be *that* bad...certainly, no worse than Google results at this stage...but it's because Edge and Bing are just an *INCESSANT ASSAULT ON WHAT I WANT TO DO*.

"I'm searching for [thing]"
"Here are thirteen things that match pretty well with [thing] - ten based on our heuristics, three sponsored results that most closely match."
"Thanks!"

That's all I want a search engine to do!

I *might* stretch it a bit...
"I'm searching for [thing] near [location]"
"Here's a map of [location] with five push-pins most closely resembling [thing] - three organic options, two sponsored options, all matching [thing]"
"Thanks!"

...but with Bing, it's like...
"RANDOM ASSORTMENT OF THINGS!!!111"
"...uhm, okay, I just want --"
"HAVE YOU TRIED EDGE!!11"
"...I'm using Edge..."
"LOG IN TO EDGE FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE!!!11"
"ehm, no tha---"
"Nevermind, I Logged You In Anyway Because You Used A Mandatory Microsoft Account To Use Excel."
"okay, whatever...I'm looking for--"
"REWARDS!!!!"
"...[thing]"
"Here Are Six Sponsored Listings That Are In No Way Relevant To [thing]...and then ten organic listings that are at least on par with Google...MAP!!!!" ...it's that constant battle to get Bing to just let me do an anonymous[ish] search, and then show me a combination of search results and unobtrusive ads.

I can use Searx to sanitize Bing if I wanted, but I'd rather pay for Kagi, who doesn't require that kind of headache.

Because money is the ultimate fungible commodity, the headline should really be:

"Singapore to subsidize production and use of sustainable aviation fuel"

I am skeptical that the "sustainable aviation fuel" is really sustainable and it isn't just disguised fossil fuel (like almost all hydrogen production for vehicles).

Does that decline in college preparation also hold for students coming from private or Catholic schools ?  Does it hold for traditional  HOME-SCHOOLED kids. And does it also hold for people entering the "skilled" trades ? Are new writers from The Paris Review and The NewYorker less literate than previous generations. Question really is: has America stopped preparing it's able citizenry for intellectual challenge.  Of-course in previous eras  ---  if you didn't work smart, then  you didn't get laid and didn't eat.

Full Self Driving, a mode where the vehicle is considered safe to drive without human interaction. There are lesser modes, that still require a driver to be at-the-ready, but think of it as the difference between "safe to text while in the car" and "safe to fall asleep while in the car".

Tesla has been promising the latter for a VERY long time, and they *have* made improvements over that time...but skeptics see it kind of like the paperless office - just beyond the horizon.

How about getting a refund from your credit card company? Wasn't that possible?

I've seen the George Clooney one, and I've read an interview with Stanislaw Lem later, where he said: "The sexual problems of humans in Space where not my topic in the book."

This reminds me of a Stanislaw Lem SF story (I think published in the "Fables for Robots" series): The Trap of Gargancjan.

Two countries start an arms race by moving their whole military to AI, and then set their armies to fight each other. But when all the robots connect to each other to create the two AIs of cosmic scale, they don't fight, but greet each other, take each other's hand and walk through the flowers. Because Space at its essence is peaceful, and war is not a cosmic concept.

The cars are cheap, but ironically still not cheap enough for Chinese workers. Xi would rather let the cars rot than more Chinese get a little more luxury.

Dunno about the rest of Europe, but here Kia sells more EVs than the Chinese brands put together. Also Skoda Elroq (VW group) will likely be the best selling EV of this year.
