You have never worked in management I see. The cost of legislation is much higher in most of these issues, even illegitimate claims are settled because they are expensive and sufficient attorneys will work pro bono because they know the process is significantly in favor of the employee (there are always more slighted employees than there are employers).

Fast food workers donâ(TM)t have non compete unless youâ(TM)re thinking about executives and managers in the fast food business. You cannot both have âoeat willâ and âoeunder contractâ. A contract cannot be one sided, it makes it void, legal in these companies know that, they would be an easy target for class action. Non compete allow employees to negotiate higher wages and exit packages, if you are in agreement, you do so for a reason.

Dell still makes repairable laptops and zero-tool hardware for their business line as does Lenovo and others. The question is not, do you want repairable, the question is do you want to pay for it. For businesses, yes, swapping out a hard drive quickly is generally worth it, for consumer end stuff, theyâ(TM)d rather save $200 and use the warranty period, by the time something breaks, the low end stuff is already years old at the time of purchase (current offerings at the bottom end are uniformly 10th-12th generation Intel), so it will be really old in 5-7 years.

H2 requires a constant reliable base load like nuclear power, if not, you get explosions. It also requires expensive metals to do reliably.

H2 is probably the future in the long term but it requires a lot more development and investment which is currently consumed by short term solutions like EV and solar.

I never had any issues with Alsa. Most people donâ(TM)t understand what Alsa was and the early tooling didnâ(TM)t help, but Alsa is the API that allows you access to your hardware exclusively, which means only one thing (should) be talking to it. Jack was the (excellent) audio router but many people didnâ(TM)t understand and their hardware not capable of low latency sound they were demanding.

Pulseaudio and now Pipewire is just a router, like Jack, it talks to Alsa. Being written by Poettering however it tries to do more than what it is supposed to do and tries to tell the user what to do (Poettering thinks his opinions on systems management in general should apply to the world) leading to endless frustrations from the user.

Those are all sects or shoot offs of the main. Mormonism is hard to call Christian, they do claim it but their Christ is more of a side character (similar to Jesus being just a prophet predating Mohammad in Muslim lore) in a pantheon of deities.

You are seeming to forget the fact that Israel ceded that land that was originally theirs. Nice of you to think history started in 1990.

UN workers participated in October 7th attacks. UN currently has no standing on this issue and their current leadership is largely antisemitic.

If you did that, what would happen is that Iran would overrun a disarmed Israel and like what happened in the Balkans or Syria or Rwanda or Jordan or Egypt, the UN would just stand by and let the atrocities happen.

Iâ(TM)m fairly sure on one side that isnâ(TM)t exactly true. You think because it makes sense in your western doctrine, it would make sense everywhere else.

Islam is a religion of death. About 15-25% of Muslims follow Imam that promote the death cult part of the religion. Those people raise their children thinking this world is temporary and the highest virtue is killing apostates, Jews, Christians and unbelievers (in that order). This is a similar mindset of the Hitler youth or many other cults and child soldier indoctrination (even so-called Christians like Jehovah Witnesses have this idea, theyâ(TM)re just not making up a few billion people).

All religions at their core think like that, the enlightenment just hasnâ(TM)t happened in the Muslim world yet and until the other 75% of Muslims start speaking up against those, nothing will change.

They did that in Europe, now they removed those incentives, so employers are telling employees to charge at home.

If your plan only works with continuous, large scale incentives, it is a bad plan.

Too costly and they tend to catch fire, also needs a big footprint for very little energy. You're much better off storing water but that is something California already has trouble with so unlikely to be viable. There is a reason battery banks in eg. datacenter only provide 15s of power, despite having the same footprint as the generator.

Yes, they show you non-EV tires, but as you said, the load rating is different because the vehicle is different, the rubber is harder etc etc. look up the difference before stating something you know nothing about.

240V @ 80A for a single circuit is the problem - 100A is the house breaker in many rural places. 200A is an average home and you haven't electrified everything. I have a fully electrified double home with now 400A worth of service and I don't have enough, especially not in winter when the heat pump doesn't work.

The Model 3 is a small sedan for $50k, I am driving an SUV or family sedan for half that price. A lot of people's electric panels are not in the garage, mine is literally on the other side of the house. Most people electrical panel's are central to their home, whereas garages are on the edges or more often around here, detached. Garages attached to home are more expensive for builders (there are extra code requirements) and electrical panels are centrally located for the exact same reason, cost.

Depends on the records you take, there are older records, they are intermittent but demonstrate much higher temperatures in the past as well, the problem is that none of the equipment was calibrated to modern standards nor are the records continuous so it masks the peaks and valleys into an average with large error margins.

Sure is, we have mitigated climate related deaths everywhere in the world. Mostly cold was the culprit in the past but also heat is no longer a concern for most of the world.

Yes, but by then Biden will be at least 3-7 years out of office and it's not 'his problem' anymore whether Solyndra actually did anything.
