I think the data-manipulation argument isn't about how accurate thermometers are, it's about how accurate satellite temperature readings are (especially when they so often conflict with local thermometer based readings).

I would expect discussion on this post to center around the fact that localized data doesn't really mean anything when discussing overall "climate change". Parts of Australia and the west coast of the US are currently experiencing record breaking cold temperatures for June.

Bro, all you're proving here is that you have a 4th grade understanding of the English language.

Wait, what do you think the word volunteer means? The official definition says one who freely offers to do something, that means to choose to do something of your own volition rather than be compelled. It DOES NOT mean working for free.

In this case, they are volunteering to work in the warehouse in lieu of their normal workplace. And the word volunteer is appropriate because their bosses aren't singling people out and saying "YOU WILL GO WORK IN THE WAREHOUSE".

Why would they need to compete with Chinese cars in the US? No Chinese car brand has ever made it's way stateside. We have been hearing about fabulously cheap Chinese cars for decades, but you can't buy them here and if you import them the cost savings go away. And yes, I know some well known car brands (like Volvo) produce some cars in China. Those are not the cheapo cars everyone is talking about.

If we ever see a BYD Electric car in the US it will cost 3-4x what it did in China.

Still means they can recover litigation costs since they won.

That's kind of the point, right? The phones are locked because the carrier subsidized the purchase with the understanding that you would need to use it on their network long enough for them to recoup the costs.

There's a SUPER EASY way not to get stuck with a locked phone, buy it from the OEM.

I remember buying the simplest microwave ever in 1982 or 1983. It was tiny, didn't have a rotating dish or anything inside, literally one dial on the front that you used to set how long it was powered. That's it. Cost $399.99 from Montgomery Wards. Online inflation calculator says that's around $1300 in today's dollars.

grumble..grumble...portman...hot grits...

Also kind of weird how they are calling out "silicon" as being roadblocked. Silicon is literally a component of sand, it's available everywhere on earth in huge quantities. The roadblocks are with EUV lithography equipment, which makes me wonder how are they getting sub-1nm features on this material if they were unable to do so with silicon? Since it's "2d" are they counting the height as the smallest feature?

There's been tons of different semiconductors that are faster and more efficient than silicon in use for multiple decades. But they aren't as cheap and abundant.

Really? You understand the entire concept of having a tiered court system is based on the premise that judges are often wrong. Why would we have appeals if all the judges are out there batting 100?

Everyone knows modern manga and anime industries owe their existence to Tenisu no ôjisama (The Prince of Tennis).

2 Points, the article is pointing out GLOBAL price increases. Last I checked, US Tariffs don't typically affect the price of goods produced and sold outside of the US. And most of the games are now sold in electronic form, those are considered "produced" at the distributor's location so they wouldn't be subject to tariffs.

Since when is having 1, MAYBE 2 competitors with a similar product and 1 or 2 competitors with a substantially inferior product (wireless offerings do not compete in bandwidth, signal consistency, or latency) considered a "fiercely competitive environment"?

Lays has 872 competitors for my potato chip dollars in my grocery store alone.

And most Asian countries can grow rice without using flooded paddies. It may be the cheapest/easiest method, but certainly not the only method.

Oh, really?

But of course, this is a UN source and they are just a mouth piece for those illiterate uneducated Americans and clearly have an agenda to portray the Canadians as less than they truly are.
