My experience with 3 family Tesla’s, not all mine, is a battery degradation rate much less than 1.8 per year. Closer to 1%. I do not think most cars last 20 years. So battery replacement is probably not needed. Certainly in some cases. But not typically. So that part of the model seems accurate to me.

The United States needs more than 2 parties. We also need more representatives. The size of the districts should be cut in half, or more. That would help with this giant gerrymandering problem. It would decrease the cost and value for an individual district. This would decrease the power the parties have over their members. And make it easier to have a viable 3rd party.

The money is not going away. But getting more of the community involved can counter this. Right now the district’s are so large that they are above any community, controlling them but not really part of them. By being so large they span too many different communities and too many different interests. Most people in those communities do not know their representatives. Smaller districts can, partially, fix this.

Still works. His life has been vastly improved.

Source? What I have read was that while many of the Probes did not properly stay inserted on the first patient the results were, and still are, very positive. I have seen nothing in the literature stating it was replaced.

Absolutely. My daughter and son, and their spouses, all in their 20s agree. We saw it at every level in the education system. From high school to masters degree.

Forward party. We need new and better people in DC. Everyone should stop voting for either the failed Dems or the Republicans.

Well, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, only things that are good for the International Trade Union Confederation are good for democracy. I wonder how far down the list one has to go to get to Putin, Hamas or the like.

You are free to think that. But, this was a real mission, with real science. From testing the space suits, to research on Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome, to communications, and even motivating others on Earth. They spent significant amounts of time training. They accepted the risk. And expanded the envelope of space exploration. I believe thatâ(TM)s all pretty good.

Space X, the private company, is the one that has succeeded. Big government and bloated corporations that are only 1/2 step away from big government are failing. You may want to revisit your logic.

And space X can send a manned dragon capsule to the IIS anytime. In fact the current dragon has been delayed by NASA. Part of the issue is that the IIS does not have any place for another dragon to dock while the Boeing capsule is docked. Another is the planned manning for the IIS. And I suspect NASA money.

At this stage?? This is most times they have ever flown a booster. They are literally pushing the boundaries.
For sure an investigation is warranted. Space X will want to know what failed. But I am not convinced a grounding is warranted. There may be a good reason that was not given in the article. But at face value it feels like a double standard. if this was Boeing they would get an award for having a booster fly 23 times. For Space X they get grounded because of a landing failure.

Objection, Speculation.

From TFA:
"Not everyone agrees. Commenting on the FT article via a LinkedIn post, Michael Lesniak of water systems company Aquatech claimed that most datacenters in Loudoun County use recycled sewage water that would otherwise be dumped in the Chesapeake Bay. He also claimed that most new facilities use no water for cooling.

The bigger bit barn operators such as AWS have certainly pledged to take action over water consumption, with AWS announcing back in 2022 its intention to become water positive by 2030."

Whose Ethics and what time period? One persons ethics is a violation of what somebody else believes. Personal ethics and business ethics may potentially conflict. What was good in the 80s might not be so popular today.

Have you listened to the audio tapes? I have. I am not a Trump fan. But in this case the left pushed a lie and they continue to.

Where do you get your opinions from? This book is just a hit piece and apparently light on actual facts and heavy on gossip with an additional mix of pure BS. Bill Gates may not be a saint but neither are the vast majority of people. He build a very successful company. He worked excessivily hard, is very smart, was aggressive, and in some cases overstepped boundaries. What more do you want?
