And where are those mining machines that allow this to occur manufactured? How about all the components of the mining machines? The locomotives that take all that iron ore to port? The port infrastructure? The ships that transport the ore t

They may get reused, but the data shows that: * Sales of bin liners (for example) do not significantly increase when single use plastic bags are banned * Plastic bag litter is significantly reduced. If you want less litter, banning single u

Worse in one specific regard, yes. And they agree with you in their conclusion, saying dust during processing is likely a factor. You can see the full study here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/resp.14

Studies looking into the issue have found non silica compounds cause issues too, and its the engineering process rather than the silica that causes the problem. This is why they haven't created an exemption for low-silica products. &gt

This is actually completely reasonable and a positive for the energy grid. Large industrial energy users who can switch off when needed make the grid stronger, not weaker. To illustrate, imagine a grid with 1000MW max demand and 2000MW of p

The flip side of that is you can use control of all those high wattage devices to prevent power outages by shifting load to times when more energy is available. Hopefully, that's how the impulse will be remembered.

Perhaps a more accurate headline would have been this buried deeper in the article "The US worked through Third World countries and fake companies and finally was able to ship the ore to the US to build the SR-71." And to complete

The power requirement at cruising speed would quite a lot less than max power would it not? If cruse consumed 60% of max you'd be using closer to 80kW which would give you over 2 hours flight time.

"A FWD EV shouldn't suffer from torque steer." The torque steer in my FWD EV (BYD Atto) is horrendous. Sure its possible to use clever engineering to manage it, but just switching to EVs isn't going to magically make tor

Wouldn't this apply to other continents too? Given for example Vancouver Island is part of North America, then North America (the island, not the continent) would qualify as it too is sub-continental. Europe and Asia would be the only

They are not part of a continent, but simply islands (well, groups of islands). Some definitions would include them as part of Oceania.

A quick scan of the Zeppelin list on wikipedia shows that significant proportion were lost after being hit by enemy fire. For example: LZ 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34...

If you account for the electric generation and distribution losses, you should do the same for gas. "It does cost more to run an appliance than to heat with gas." That's highly dependent on the appliances involved and the pri

You're in luck, the BYD Dolphin should be launching soon in Australia for <$40k and probably 300km range.

$1 000 * $5 000 = $5 000 000 $250 000 first year and $52 500 in following years = 91 years until the money runs out. Of course there is no doubt other costs involved, but you'd make it past a year.

Aspect ratio also has an effect. Squarer phones have more surface area at a given screen diagonal. A 'smaller' screen can actually be larger in area. Take the 5.7 inch note 3 mentioned earlier. https://m.gsmarena.com&#x

Probably a roughly similar amount to what is created building a nuclear, or any other, power station. What's your point?

You've only quoted half of what you're replying to. You can get the solar, and the wind, and the storage, all for less than the cost of building nuclear once accounting for cost overruns. It's also with noting that nuclea

I can just see the forecast now: "Partly cloudy. Medium (40%) chance of burglary, most likely later in the evening. Light winds becoming south to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h during the morning."

An important distinction between Terra (what is being described there) and Tether (what this thread is discussing), is that Tether claims to be backed by real assets.

The whole point of a stablecoin however is that it is supposed to be... stable. From tether.to: "Tether tokens are referred to as stablecoins because they offer price stability as they are pegged to a fiat currency. This offers traders
