Prices tend to be sticky! Deflation isn’t common these days. When will price stabilize is a more appropriate question.

But costing more and having limited capacity most certainly does slow production! Are you saying that the trains have the same throughput and cost as the pipeline would have? The pipeline unquestionably means more production, more co2.

There’s actually a ton of places that rely on those ratings - like insurance companies need at least a certain rating in order to write in certain states.

Sorry to hear you got a bum toilet, luckily for you, there’s the other huge benefit of low flush toilets that I didn’t mention. Even with a total clog, there’s a 1-2 flush bowl capacity before it over flows. Who remembers the abject terror

Efficiency related regulation like the energy star is THE reason why companies started caring. Same with low flush toilets. I vaguely remember the initial ones had issues, but tbh less than the older use a ton of water toilets my family had

At one point Tesla had the opportunity to become THE ev charging monopoly. That ended when Musk went on one of his earlier whimsical firing sprees and destroyed the charging team. Had he instead beefed it up, charging could become a money p

Deflationary spirals are possible. Why would a consumer buy goods today if they’ll be cheaper tomorrow?

So now instead of appearing in court and face their consequences if guilty, they are motivated to flee and evade even if innocent of the crime they are appearing in court for?

I like how the AI summary has had a 50% rate of directly contradicting itself between the first and last paragraphs in my recent searches. It’s like an overly confident bullshitter with no shame and the memory of a fruit fly. And I’m sure m

For anyone interested, with all keyless entry Subarus in the US it’s easy to put the fob to sleep. If you’re car camping and doing a lot of stuff around your car and opening the doors a bunch for a couple hours, you probably want to put you

Are you asking why college isn’t a vocational school or technical school? Or are you wondering why the USA doesn’t have apprenticeships in the way Germany and others have? A college isn’t really meant to be a narrow tracked vocational schoo

Lost massive amount of revenue so other financial partners on the deal had to write it down substantially- is losing money a successful investment in your book?

Well revenue cratered and that’s usually a critical business metric for financially viable businesses Reminds me the joke of how to become a millionaire that’s basically start with a billion and invest in xyz terrible idea. That’s basically

> The guy that stands up and gives a 25 hour speech? Who isn’t even the top house democrat. The opposition party’s actual leaders were going around saying the best strategy was to lay low… feels like some kind of bad joke.

> Similar to what Elon did with twitter Wait who thinks what Elon did with Twitter was a success? While it hasn’t fully collapsed like some predicted, it seems like a total unmitigated failure in any standard economic or business terms.

Most people have no idea what a travois is. The headline could have been evidence of a 22000 year old wheelbarrow like vehicle but I guess that was a mouthful. “Vehicle” is fine.

Doesn’t this have the added benefit of the operator not broadcasting their position? So anti jamming but also anti-pilot getting shelled/counter droned? Or is tracing the drone operators not so common?

Well please read things more carefully in the future. No one sells pills of pure magnesium - that would be eating metal shavings or metal beads. It is ALWAYS a magnesium ion paired with an anion of some sort. Is that what you mean? Ones wit

Fun fact - Low magnesium can contribute to type II diabetes. It’s been found certain people not responding to improved diet and medication have the A1C drop after starting mg. Of course, if low Mg isn’t a factor then supplementation will do

by mint2 2y ago
There’s a fair number of brands selling mg alone and fe alone. Maybe it’s hard outside the US? Or maybe places like target and CVS don’t carry them - those places do have limited options.

Counterpoint they literally already did that and we weren’t less racist in the 60s and 70s. Personally I don’t think Trump would defend Taiwan but I object to such a disregard of history.

Well it matches how corporations already operate, they brag about being in compliance with regulations, fda or any other, as if it’s something to be proud of. No, just barely satisfying the minimum quality standards is not something to aspi

Democrats? Jeffries, the top democrat in the house, is too busy with promoting his book and anyway has decided it’s all in gods hands now. He had one stop in Oakland on Feb 20, and is scheduled again on March 7. Gee whiz good thing there’s

Pointing out Tesla and spacex is fine but kinda glossing over some important details about this companies - he routinely over promised on products and delivers years late if at all. Definitely worse with Tesla than spacex. And he destroyed

So he took credit for improvements others worked on and they also weren’t as good as purported? (Assuming that is a reference to the Mussolini quote.)
