Only when predicting renewable energy adoption would they draw an exponential curve with data and then forecast a near flat-lined linear growth

I was in your same position until I realized updating ublock and updating the filter list arw two different tasks. The filter lists are in ublock settings and after updating those I've had no problems

Oh sure lets withhold pay increases from the group of workers most willing to take action that impacts the business in order to get pay increases. Beyond being illegal that is also just a incredibly stupid strategy

At first I thought you were a clever advertisment for that game, but as it turns out searching "mom wax" does not garner any results about games at all, so if you're not pulling our legs and they game actually exists could you post the full name? It sounds interesting

One consideration is the satellites have processed aluminum alloys, while the meteorites have naturally occuring ores. The former may (not guarenteed) have an effect only because the meteorites have been coming in for millenia and the atmosphere we have survived it

What you're describing is a pump and dump scheme. In any market where there is low volume, either in terms of units or value, it is possible that a wealthy individual buys a large enough share of the available item to make the price jump up a bunch. Then when other people buy to get in on the next bitcoin/NFT/GME craze, often motivated by person A, that first person can then sell to the next wave.

What is weird about the power grid is that A) electricity has to be used at the time of purchase so you couldn't resell it and B) there are often power plants specifically for spikes in demand (called peaker plants) that rely on those moments to jump in and produce to make their profit, keeping things under control. However if you're the Texas grid, which is isolated from any other electric grid, you can just ignore obvious signs that more power is needed and everytime demand spikes you make a bunch of profit and super promise you'll fix it for the next time

I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but it seems too easy for those definitions to get spun off into just "things the majority dislikes" which isn't great. I would hope that dangerous lies could be countered in the comments, and the platforms are then setup to always include this conversation rather than letting the first poster hog the megaphone

Yeah I agree with you. It's one thing to say the school can't promote a religious creed to the pupils, it is another to limit self-expression of dress when it doesn't impact other students

I apologize, I stand corrected. The export control law does exist, but asylees and refugees are in the allowed group. Thank you for the context

I like this thought because my personal experience is wearing regular perscription glasses and staring at a screen 10-14 hours every day with no eye strain or headaches. My sister loves and swears by the blue light filtering (but doesn't wear glasses otherwise)

A honk implies, in my mind, a quick press of the horn. I'd be holding it down until the traffic laws are once again obeyed
