Two things that are just so indictive of the Republican party are 1) the aid said trump hasnt come up with a good nickname for Harris and that's really hurting him, like the future of democracy comes down to being able to call someone a funny name. It's so childish and so accurate to conservative voters. 2) the blatant admitting that him getting elected is the only way he can get out of his legal troubles, admitting that he's guilty and only if he gets special treatment by being president will he be able to avoid consequences.

There wasn't even a trial going on it was just a field trip.

But in practice what happens is people/companies make donations directly to a candidate then all of their priorities get fulfilled by the candidate even though the people that voted for the candidate don't support the issue.

Depends on the crop lots of crops are still harvested by hand. Also lots of crops are destroyed by hail, heavy rains or high winds all of which are somewhat protected by solar panels above.

I never understood the hatred for crash. It's a great story great acting and great ending. I really don't see what the hate is about.

I've heard of a male birth control every couple years and still nothing on the market. Usually it's because there are slight side effects and that's considered to much of a risk meanwhile female birth control can cause blood clots and whatnot. I'm too jaded to believe this will ever come to fruition.

So it looks like for senior design classes the students don't have to be associated with projects where they lose their IP rights. But sponsors have the right to say a project will give all IP to the sponsor. I imagine how this works in practice is all external companies will require they retain IP then the professor creates additional projects where ip can be retained but these are usually canned projects solving some trivial problem that won't really allow the students to go anywhere interesting with the project. I am not saying that's the case but I remember at my undergrad and at the UC school that was the case.

There are graduate students unions or research assistant unions. Undergraduates (not ones working in a lab) don't work for the university they are customers. It would be like members of a gym unionizing. I guess it could happen maybe.

I worked at a UC and companies retained all IP across all UCs and my undergrad school from the east coast was the same way. I've never heard of a university that let students keep their IP. I would imagine it would be hard to attract outside companies since the companies pay to be a part of the program. Can you point to a university program that allows students to retain their IP for senior design projects? I know if a student is doing a project through the school for a different class like a lab and they invent something or are volunteering the university has no claim to it but senior design is different.

The sad thing is the students who actually did the work will probably see no financial gain from this. Students pay to take a class and then a company pays the university for access to the students and the students ideas and work is used by a company with no financial benefit to the students. Everyone makes out except the students.

That would be awesome, any idea where you heard that, I've read other sodium based technologies have ~65%

I didn't see anything about round trip efficiency. I've heard that's a big downside so it might make energy storage a hard sell.

You mean like ores like copper, iron, rare earths that kinda thing. There are seems of minerals that are actually meteorites that have collected in certain spots on a glacier. Haven't heard anything about other large deposits but usually you would need to do all kinds of geological surveys to find that stuff and since most places are covered in 1mile+ of ice it's near impossible.

When you say resources what resources are you referring to specifically?

You believe what you want to then.

Your house is halfway across the state?

No that's not the message, the message is if he doesn't listen to the people he won't win the election. It's a scary precedent to set that if the Democratic party doesn't listen to +70% of it's people and he still gets elected simply because the other side is worse when would they listen to their voters? The other side is always worse at least since I've been following politics(since Bill Clinton). They always use that to excuse their inaction because they think voters will be too afraid of the opposition to question it. This is a clear message and for the reason to stop a genocide. If now is not a time to take a stand idk when will be.

The message is he'll lose the election if he doesn't change his stance. So if he has received it and chose to ignore it then why is he running. Either he doesn't believe the threat or he doesn't want to win.

There's no message being sent if there's no real threat behind the message or else the message isn't being received if the Biden administration doesn't change their stance.

Just to put into perspective it's something like 2 trucks worth at this point for 2 million people. This is a drop in the ocean. We should be sending 2 trucks a minute.
