Interesting. Looks like it is used to a very small extent in California, and has been for decades. I'll guess it's less than 90% efficient, but I really have no idea.

It's actually a $500 annual fee.
If you're not familiar with e-readers, why are you posting? E-readers use a different sort of screen than a tablet. It's a easier to read (or different, at least) and uses less battery. Yes, you can read a book on a tablet with an LCD screen, but that's not the same thing.
Click on their user profile, then click on "friend this user," and then click on "foe."
In your setup I think there's a way to mod foes down, but it's been more than a decade since I looked and I don't want to look now and fuck I wish I hadn't clicked reply at this point, but I guess I already posted a few sentences and I might as well.
The suggestion, though, was the vinyl is going to sound at best the same as the CD, as it comes from the same source. That is not true: vinyl is mixed from a better source than the CD, and so has the potential to sound better.
More and more music from streaming services is mixed from a higher quality source than the CD, and at a technical level should sound better than a CD. I have no idea on percentages, but a good amount.
Quoting the Heritage foundation when saying something is propaganda and a lie is hysterical as they are a massive propaganda outlet. So is Forbes. Only the IMF foundation has any credibility at all.
But this is an old dead conversation at this point.
However, remember it in 20 years when the temperature is +2.7C and we start having global food insecurity even in first world countries while the Billionaires you are stooging for live well and you suffer.
No... maybe at one point... but today? It's just excess profits for billionaires and corporations and a few cheap products that incent exactly the opposite behavior that we need-- such as $2.39 per gallon gasoline in the U.S. this year when it was still about $7 per gallon in the rest of the world.
Or were you really just trying to derail the conversation about potentially addressing the climate change to give us a chance of limiting the increase to about +2C.
But it's clear to many of us that +3C is really on the table. There will be enough carbon put out by 2049 to ensure that.
Right now, there is enough carbon in the air already to get us to +2.15C. It's just going to take some time- like water on the pot takes time to boil when you put heat under it.
My info in the post above was out of date...
See the Reuters article:

However, the cost of carbon capture probably has increased too, so it's a red queen's race and likely costs $21 trillion now.
But note the aggressive down-modding and censorship...
It's clear things are going to get really bad and people will *STILL* be in denial then.
Actually... My info was out of date.

However the carbon capture cost has probably increased since I swagged it 18 months ago when the first carbon capture plant articles started circulating.

"Fossil Fuel Subsidies Surged to Record $7 Trillion

And I didn't say it was all U.S. subsidies but
Not collecting a tax from an industry that other industries pay is a subsidy. It's just hidden.
Oh.. I'm sorry, I was mistaken...
It's 7 trillion now.

How many died?
On review, I actually cared more about the Iraqi soldiers and civilians who *died* in that war which you apparently don't care about at all because gender is more important than life or death to you apparently.
But if you are going tangentially point out women fought to my post- how about you doing us a favor and posting about those women who died (if any) in the gulf war.
Joe is nothing like the other former president who said,
"WeÃ(TM)re a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will re-feh-urr ahhhhh [sic]."
Who shows overwhelming evidence of dementia, aphasia, and repeatedly showed confusion About reality. (See: "Donald Trump Dementia Evidence 'Overwhelming,' Psychiatrist Claims: Ex-Prez Repeatedly 'Shows Confusion About Reality'")
And who couldn't pronounce "Venuellazss"
And again.. these are quotes. Directly from campaign appearances. Modding on slashdot has really dropped in quality.
Folks really don't want to hear this do they? There's nothing trolling about it. It's just facts.
Why would I suddenly troll after posting for over a decade.
