Because “pro-life” is not describing their position. They are not even “pro-fetus-life”. They are not taking any action to avoid accidental miscarriage in women, no educative program in this sense or collective action like distributing prenatal vitamins.

No, the only way to describe their position is “anti-abortion”. They are not pro anything, they are anti.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.

Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)

The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …

For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.

Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.

Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.

With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

How ? Is it just AC ?

We oscillate between 300 and 800kwh per month and it’s with an old water heater, an electric car charged at home, a dryer and electric oven.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.

Chopping spicy peppers without gloves and without taking off my contact first.

As you can imagine taking off contacts with spicy hands is hell!

Unless you have a debit card from a third world country bank and half of the time for online payment the authorization fail.

I’ve been in this situation several times and then though I don’t like it Paypal has often been the only payment option available to me.

Just like the Inuit snow goggles

You can have a high speed train station at the airport as well. A lot of European big hubs have that.

They are building their nukes but they are mounting them in top of US missiles.

So without the US they can’t use their nukes.

The last video of Not Just Bikes is specifically about Toronto’s streetcar.

It’s missing the most important question:

• Do your windows open inwards or outwards!?

GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of “Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance”.

US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.

Wait, I messed up. It’s almost 40 years ago, not 50

I’m having a thought now.

Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?

It’s been in the work for quite a while. The mayor of Paris announced that the seine will be open for swimming in 5 years … In 1988.

So it took a bit longer than planned, almost 50 years instead of 5 but the fact that they are opening it now is the result of these 50 years of continuous improvement.

I moved to the Caribbean for a few years a while ago and I wanted to do something meaningful.

I saw that the trade between islands was quite low despite being very close, a lot of businesses are struggling because they lack the economy of scale that inter-island trade could bring.

Since it’s low volume it’s quite expensive and slow to move stuff between islands the traditional way (container)

So I thought that a small autonomous cargo boat going between islands would be a great idea !

I was quickly told that it was a terrible idea unless I wanted to be “recruited” by a cartel.

This is probably why cold water taste so good. It’s natural selection.

There is so many diseases carried in water so there is no doubt that people doing extra effort to get that nice crispy water from the spring will survive longer that people getting warm water from the nearest water body.

Probably, it should be quite efficient as well.

On the other hand reversible heatpumps work great with floor heating.

Having a cool floor during a heatwave is amazing, plus no noise,
