Before AI I replaced my flagship Android phone once every 2 or 3 years. Now I am not sure, how can I replace my phone if I do not want AI functionality in it at all?

Deflation and slowing of economy wouldn't be allowed though, Fed would pump money. Your inner Jew needs to be channeled into bargain hunting and saving with investment to have peace.

those asian and european lines through wilderness don't prove a thing about trying to get into a dense extended metropolitan area that covers more than one state, with already occupied rail lines that are core to the U.S. economy carrying 40% of the ton-weight for long distance.

So, have to build over highways, or do other elevated, wickedly expensive. Down into the water table around Great Lakes is a bad idea.

Yes that is my point, there are occupied rail corridors that will not shut down and move aside into a pocket dimension. Not a matter of "hard" or "closed minded" , economic and engineering reality are the questions. An elevated rail could do it, that is wickedly expensive. Whatever place you are talking about has wide open land. I see the problem all right, starry eyed dreamers with romantic notions, comparing their empty asian and european wildernesses with Chicago urban area, lolz!

The "walkable city" does have proselytizers saying those things. Here around Chicago we have such groups and even our current state government is pushing it. So I pointed out a stupid thing that really is advocated is stupid, and you are losing your shit over it. Good work sport, watch that blood pressure.

That initial wide section is only hundreds to maybe 1,000 feet deep. No one is making meter wide boring to 1 km outside of reaming between sections of a mine that already exist, or prove me wrong

Sometimes updates re-enable those settings, hahaha.

You can't unenshittify Windows. You're gonna take it in the keister!

no, the biggest vertical bored holes are a few meters wide and less than half a kilometer deep... and generally made between layers of a mine, stuff and space already at the lower end! See "raisebore" and other reaming methods.

This reactor idea is bullshit.

we already have public transportation in the #3 city/metro area here, why would it need to be "walkable"? I'm not carrying 50+ pounds of crap anywhere, infrastructute and buildings won't be moved and created just because of your romantic notions. Juvenile delusions.

you're funny equating intermittent energy with a stable base load source. When the wind doesn't blow or when it's night, you'll need something pricier

What are you imagining? Please explain for example where your NYC to Chicago high speed rail will be as it comes into the geater Chicago area in NW Indiana and southern Chicago suburbs?

where would the land for that come from? Going around great lakes and through mountains are occupied routes. Are you going to push homes out of the way, bore through mountains? You can but it's expensive!

"The short answer is that the Tax Code enforces a Stock Transaction Tax (STT) on every sale, barter or exchange of shares in a listed company. Under Section 127(A) of the Tax Code, as amended by the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, the STT rate is 6/10 of 1% based on the gross selling price or gross value in money of the shares of stock sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed.
      The burden to pay the STT, as provided in Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 6-08, is imposed on the seller or transferor and remitted by the seller or transferor's broker. The stockbroker who effected the sale has the duty to collect the tax from the seller upon issuance of the confirmation of sale, issue the corresponding receipt thereof, and remit the same to the tax authorities. "

Would such a STT tax in the USA reduce a lot of possibly harmful churn from algorithmic trading? Or would it be extremely harmful to everyone by reducing liquidity? Wondering how that is working out in the Philippines?

yes, actually yes. I would do it differently though, I would use sodium and burn it in water to create the particulate matter, this would accomplish more than one goal, it would block a percentage point of the Solar energy and would percipitate into the ocean water deacidifying it. If done xorrectly, maybe as NaK alloy it can also be used to generate power while burning in water.

no, the goal is keeping power and gaining glory by restoring the old ussr back and then some. The fact that it is done by using the criminal element as well as the regular army just shows how unprepared the dictator is.
