Give me as close to the 1977 experience as possible and I'll pay 1977-adjusted prices and stand in line around the block for hours with fellow fans.

I don't need a fancy theater or film format.

But I do need the original theater release without any edits save perhaps for a pre-roll or post-credit scene acknowledging this is a remaster and a thank-you to everyone who made the Star Wars phenomena possible, hopefully with a tasteful memorial to those who are no longer with us.

We considered plague a loss of the leadership's Mandate of Heaven. But apparently we are not learning.

Musk has since said the booster was low on fuel.

"... saving an average of 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight..."

And a gallon of av-gas is $7.84.

What about all the crashes and incursions and lack of staff?

Bread and circuses. Doesn't the LLM cost more in resources from the power grid? Does $627 per (number of seats * ticket price, which is ... more than 3 digits) flight seem like a "big" savings?

A dude with 3,000,000,000,000,000 spent 500,000,000. Aka, 1/6000. If you had $10, 1/6000 is 0.17 of a cent. Who cares? That's nothing.

But that's a problem which only appeared when UPS systems and large battery storage grew beyond a certain threshold. For a long time, it was fine to have the system checking the battery every minute, because not many battery systems were deployed to begin with and even less were constantly online and synchronized via NTP. And at some point in time, a single battery was added which was the last straw to break the camel's back.

Just the last 3 weeks of 2 years average data retention is 3%. That would destroy a lot of companies. So the "which 3%?" is a big question.

Normally I'd be skeptical of such a use of social media, but luckily Reddit has a famously-effective "no bots allowed" policy, so surely this cannot possibly go wrong.

It's a little more subtle. Fructose tastes sweeter than Glucose. Per serving you need less fructose for the same sweet taste, so you can label the food with lower calorie numbers. At the same time, fructose does not appeases the hunger as much, so people tend to eat more. But because the actual sugar in the blood stream is higher than the pancreatic system believes it to be, it throws the body off and causes it to become more and more accustomed to higher blood sugar levels, increasing the chance for diabetes 2.

Non-glucose sugars are really to blame here. As the pancreas reacts to glucose only and not to fructose, lactose, galactose and all the other sugars out there, high fructose corn syrup was a method to smuggle sugars beyond the appetite controlling system.

Cool.

So, are you for or against being a catalyst for change which is known to be *DEVASTATING* for humans and other living creatures on this planet?

Clearly Mr. Kessler had advised Mr. Huang that Megaspeed had paid the appropriate bribe and they were cleared to receive product. After inquiring with Commerce about the awkward investigation of sanctioned sales the problem went away for a time, until an internal audit tripped on the fact that it was legally prohibited and the sanction illegitimate. So they tossed it over the fence to DoJ for the cover-up and investigation of the whistleblower since that's their primary line of work these days. DoJ was busy shredding Epstein files, persecuting liberals and clearing murderous feds, so they didn't do a proper job of the coverup before the pesky press found the hanky panky. Now they have to throw Mr Kessler under the bus for reporting to Mr. Huang that the grease was in, and sorry about the dirty linens.

To me, that is basically an acoustic Stockholm syndrome. Motorcycles with their open engines are necessarily very loud to the rider. Like the hostages start to love their captor, motorcycle riders start to love the sound to cope with the fact that they can't flee it.

You are deeply mistaken. Denmark is the next state to go fully electric for new cars. Belgium and the Netherlands are following suit, with Finland close. Germany is at 37% right now (numbers from October 2026).

And that's just cars. Some countries don't buy diesel busses anymore (Denmark, The Netherlands, Luxembourg), all new busses are electric there. Long distance trucking is getting electrified already. Nanno Janssen, a truck operator in Northern Germany, runs 70 electric trucks already (and no, not Tesla Semi. But the likes of Scania, DAF, MAN, Mercedes Actros, which are available for a few years already). German Youtuber Electric Trucker has a video blog running since two years, where he reports his long distance drives all over Europe from Turkey to Spain and Scandinavia with electric trucks.

The reality has moved far more towards BEVs already as you seem to imagine.

Critical means that the supply of this material determines the whole production chain, because the supply of all other materials for the same production chain is better. How the supply of the material is limited is not relevant for the material to be critical, just that it is, which makes this material the kriterion, the means of judging.

But for most of Europe, sales of gas powered cars are going down, while the total number of cars sold is increasing. At the same time, most of the BEVs sold in Europe are actually made by European companies, by Volkswagen and its subsidaries (SEAT, koda), by BMW, Mercedes, Stellantis and Renault. U.S. based Tesla alone has more market share in Europe than all Chinese brands together.
