Comment Not so simple... (Score 1) 258

Keep in mind that my Ali Express packages came by the US Post Office. They have no capability to collect tariffs, so will no longer be doing international shipments.

See:

Also, keep in mind that it isn't just the tariffs. The cost and contents of the package have to be declared. Someone has to do that paperwork. It won't be just the 15% tariff that you have to pay. There are other costs.

Clearly you didn't read it. They explain away why they have been wrong for twenty years, didn't know what was happening and misrepresented it. Then they state that they have "a very solid understanding" of what's happening. Clearly they didn't. Then why were your predictions so wrong? Why should you have any credibility at all?

Wow, an actual thoughtful reply. Thank you very much.

People get bent out of shape when I point out that those solar panels won't make a bit of difference. They won't even do a single charger. Then, when I say that what they do is say that "we installed 200 super chargers", this is true. They did install the chargers, but those chargers are not any where near fully powered. Nor are they likely to be anytime soon.

Correct. Ever try to eat uncooked rice or wheat or potatoes. Use of fire greatly expanded available foods. I get a bit annoyed when I hear that humans used fires to keep wild animals away.... In any event, look at the skeleton of a human, a bear and a gorilla. You will note that the human rib cage is markedly smaller. This is because we cook our food and digestion takes less time and we have shorter intestines.

Now look at ancient human skeletons. Those rib cages look pretty small to me.
