Unreliable in the sense that its provided 60% of france's power since the 1960s? I'll take that.

"and with a bit of planning nuclear"

Unfortunately the 20th century "greens" (in reality left wing anti west agitators who deliberately conflated nuclear power with nuclear weapons) put paid to any sensible nuclear program in most of the west except France. And in germany they closed all their nuclear plants only a few years back and switched to burning lignite FFS. Yes, they have solar and wind but it hardly makes up for the loss of the nuclear base load.

... I can see not many people bothering to pay for it.

Can someone explain why EVs only seem to need tiny instrument clusters without any kind of sun shield? Are EV drivers eyes much better than ICE drivers and does the sun see its an EV so doesn't shine on the screen?

I imagine number of things could have caused tiny variations and in fact probably theory states that a perfectly even mixture is far less likely than an uneven one due to random variation.

They are biding their time until they have robo taxis and won't have to rely on though unreliable humans who keep raping customers any more. Seriously, Uber was temporarily using desperate humans to build an infrastructure which would change very little with non-human drivers.

Which is stuipid, since there is a gate a half my from my house that delivery can't go through, so no delivery service can make it to my house. They could leave it at the gate and hope I get to it before the critters do, but if I have to travel a half mile to get my food, I might as well travel all the was to the restaurant, don't you think? I also keep yelling at my daughter for using Doordash (since I'm paying for her food), although she claims she usually picks it up herself instead of paying someone $10 to deliver it.

Wouldn't that give the data collectors a huge incentive to NOT report any leaks?

Because corporations have MORE rights than you do, obviously!

Every time I apply for a job, I have to send them a copy of my driver's license to prove my idea. Likewise, when somebody claimed on Facebook that I was impersonating myself, I had to send Facebook a copy of my driver's license (which they misread, since it was last name first, and changed my Facebook ID to lastname firstname middle name). So it would be trivially easy to solicit job applications and collect DL scans.

Huh? If dark matter doesn't react in any way with electromagnetic radiation it will have zero effect on the background temperature.

How would you see the effects of it if it barely interacts with matter or energy other than gravitationally? It could respond to a number of forces that have no equivalent in the ones we currently know of. The standard model is incomplete ergo it cannot by definition rule out things not in it.

To be frank, if they don't know what it even is I fail to see how they can have any idea about how it interacts with its itself or what any of physical properties are other than gravitational. And maybe dark energy is the dark matter universe version of electromagnetism.

But I still find it fascinating that there may be a whole dark matter universe amongst us that we dont know about with maybe structure and even life? Perhaps theres some dark matter professor right now trying to figure out what that missing 20% of the universes mass is made of.
