Age is not the defining criteria.
Searching for is right. Where I live the bus comes only every two hours and for many doesn't operate early or late enough for them to use it to commute.
Granted I live in the sticks but this is bananas
The alert said someone who kinda looks like that was a shoplifter. It's the store employee's job to verify a match which they didn't do. The tech is still bad but it didn't say he was a shoplifter, it said he might be and a human fucked it up the other half of the way.
Weird, in my US state (CA) I can do a citizen's arrest if I witness a misdemeanor
Plus some of us have been confused with other people with the same name. My full name, all three names, is the 400th most common name in the US and with just first and last it's about number 103. When I try to ID with services which think they know things about me they ask if I've lived on streets I've never lived on, I tell them no and they tell me I'm not me...
Notably, fact is not an absolute defense like it is here. If your intent is to do harm then it's illegal, even if the harm is to a nonce like Saville, which is why it took so long to get him
You forgot greed existed again. How many major head injuries HAVE you had?
You mean the inflation chart? I don't see an axis for greed.
You don't see child rape either, at least, not as a problem.
I wish I could tell you to stop playing stupid, but it's obviously not a game.
Used SUVs are often very cheap because they start to develop problems, especially the full frame ones which are generally built sloppy AF. And they will keep you poor because they drink fuel.
You can bomb a coal plant too you know.
Coal plant puts out less power than a nuke plant. Coal plant being bombed puts out less harmful material than a nuke plant. The two things are very different and attempting to conflate them is pathetic.
you need something to provide for base load
No, you do not. You need something to follow load. Base load is inferior.
It's summer, there is lots of sunlight. It's the short winter days with a heavy overcast that are the problem.
As Europe adds AC to try to stem the tens of thousands of deaths per heat wave, the demand curve will grow during sunny periods.
All true. Speaking of which, does anyone actually trust Microsoft not to backdoor encryption?
They got nothing now, they had little. What is left is some nukes that are strategically impossible to use due to MAD.
Depending on sanity for peace is insane.
For what it is worth, Germany has pioneered what's referred to "balcony solar":
No. China pioneered what's now referred to by white people as "balcony solar". But in fact that isn't really the whole story either. They are just microinverters. These were created for solar farms to make expansion and maintenance easier, and wiring cheaper. Instead of running DC back to a large inverter they use a small one which only one or two panels connect to. They often output 3 phase, in fact I have such a microinverter sitting around, but obviously it's not hard to make 2 phase inverters for residential use. Microinverters are not grid creating, they won't output power if they don't see power, so the only change that had to be made to make them suitable for sale to home users was to make them cheaper. That meant putting them in a shittier enclosure and using shittier components.
Anyone can therefore reasonably safely (if not legally) buy one of these solar systems and reduce their energy bill just by plugging it in. In fact it's become very common for Chinese solar inverters (that is, a device which contains both a charge controller and inverter) to have grid tie functionality. I have a pretty cheap unit which will do it up to ~2 kW.
