The US ranks 126 by percentage of renewable energy production in the world. Also this has nothing to do with the quality of the grid.
You might live in an area where the grid is good, but a lot of the US is an embarrassment. Propane had a storm this winter that left a lot of people without power for several days. Texas is… Texas it can’t handle cold or hot weather. California’s grid main purpose seems to be starting fires.
Thank you, it’s just crazy how bad the electoral system is in the US.
Pointless side note: autocomplete wrote “electrical system” above and that is also true.
Could you say more about Quebec and proportional representation? I tried searching all I found were some articles about Quebec hating non proportional representation.
I live in the US were as far as I know proportional representation is not a thing, which is incredibly useful to maintain the two party system. I come from a more civilized place with proportional representation and universal healthcare and it hurts so much to see how broken this country is.
Reddit has employees and servers in Europe, including EU countries. GDPR most definitely applies.
I don’t know about Windows, on Linux it’s at the function level, and some cases are tricky.
A theatre is perfectly fine. It doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t, be one of those suburban monstrosities with a huge parking lot and a dozen screens.
American universities are weird. My hometown has a large university and for the most part once you walk two minutes in any direction it just looks like a regular neighborhood. It helps to not have sports as part of the university.
American schools are big. There is no need for a huge stadium, and definitely no need for a lot of parking, especially considering that it sits empty most of the time. Schools on my home country are smaller, and we have more of them, and they have zero parking. Even the expensive private schools didn’t have any parking spots, the idea seems weird. Frankly American schools appear to intentionally waste space and aren’t integrated into their surroundings.
I’m not a tankie, fuck Stalin, but the stat is correct: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate
I don’t know how well we know China’s figures, though.
They’re probably banning it in local elections.
It may not have been your intention but your comment came out dickish. Since your English is so good you should be able to phrase things better.
The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn’t even that much democracy at home.
The narcissist’s prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.
It’s not that Apple makes amazing stuff, it’s that other companies really put out barely shiny turds.
Look at the zune, the tech was fine, or so I have heard, but it looked like an ugly brick. Seriously, a regular red brick looks better, even a yellow brick does.
I have a Subaru, and while I love it, the infotainment system is garbage. Clearly there was no effort to make it look good and usable.
UX is hugely undervalued, I wonder if one of the reasons is because you don’t notice good UX, it’s not in the way, but you noticed bad UX. So good UX without a lot of marketing is invisible.
I like what someone else mentioned of bikes doing the last mile or two. Vans could do the last 20 miles or whatever, and bigger trucks or trains the long haul.
I would also not put vans and box trucks (not that you did, I’m speaking in general) in the same bag, a van is almost the same as a car when it comes to driving.
And of course if we could lower the demands on delivery drivers (and riders? Not sure what you call them on bikes) it would lower accidents. I recently saw one of the new Amazon electric vans, and while I liked some things (no air or sound pollution), the driver was accelerating like crazy every time.
Exactly, this post completely misses the point. The human in a delivery van is not even desirable. It would be great to completely automate this job. Let people enjoy their lives more instead of peeing in a bottle.
This is not redneck engineering, it’s how evening is attached to walls in the US as far as I can see. An ugly hole in drywall, and cover the rough edges with trim. I’m not sure what else you are looking for.
Something outside the wall could use minimal wood working and nails or command strips.
You mention you like picture frame mounts, so why don’t you use picture frames? You can get some used stuff for very cheap at Goodwill. Or get wood trim at home depot and cut to size.
Anything that’s not visible gets the glue gun treatment.
A lot of those are condos where you get cable and Internet bundles together, and you don’t even have a choice. Others might be getting a bundle but only using the Internet side. I was sick with the first for years.
So you don’t want to include the two most populous states that account for 20% of the US population?
Texas being a leader in coprophagia doesn’t make it not the US.
