DST was going to bring in $1.5B/year in revenue. Dairy farmers would be happy to move to price subsidy model that the US has. Canada produces 9.5B litres of milk, and together with about $1B in programs for dairy farmers, 25c/liter paid to farmers would reduce retail milk prices by $1/liter.

Disturbing, as this was a significant revenue raiser that could help with those disenfranchised through tariffs, or fund the absurd destruction of Canada through 200% military spending increase. Continued US military alliance signals further capitulation, but just as attack on Iran was apparent end of war through victory declaration, there may be a quick return to status quo. OTOH, complete subjugation may be more likely.

Sun played no, or no authoritative, role in developing javascript. I don't know how they got the trademark except perhaps no one owning it thought they could monetize the trademark.

Gotten worse since 2015.

Simple distinction of capitalism vs socialism is private vs socialized profits. Where the commons are a social asset, profiting off it gives society a return in exchange for diminishment of commons.

Tradgedy of the commons is usually a glib argument ending remark made when you point out the theft of the commons taking place, or the privatising of profits with socialized losses. Its meant to uphold theft as a feature of democratic capital supremacy.

Nope. Too many people making skynet. The dogs and goggles will do nothing.

5kg for 1.125² square meters. About 50mm high/thick. $105 filament cost. Could be much less filament/print time with "speed holes" in depth. He also uses very dense "hexagon fill patterns". He put in an extra step to cover seams so it would not look lego-ey. Many alternate section joining techniques including raised front and back strips, and center patterns that lock sections without locking to each other.

https://kumikowoodworking.com/design/ has this pattern: https://kumikowoodworking.com/products/tn-114/

which is a strip design, and center sections could use a "center joint" with center patterns recessed from "strucutral stips"

There is a guitar made from wood process that requires a lot of woodworking gear and much more assembling/fine tuning time, so this would be easier.

Aparently you have to ask for the price of the fillament. Rule of thumb for not being able to afford it.

100% effective dragon and vampire repellant too.

I will survive original is pretty iconic masterpiece and hard not to sing along to. But a rock/funk version you ask?

Don't stop believing is far more overplayed crap I do hate, though.

Don't you want me baby. Bananaphone. Feelings. But actually Don't you want me baby is the only one that doesn't stick in my head.

Not only are pig fucker mega tech profiting off Canadians tax free, and among the richest companies in the world, they are CIA/US empire militarist enablers/cooperators who will happily enslave Canadians to that empire. The fearmongering you are programmed about CCP allied companies, should be 1000x higher with US's declared war on Canada, and their tech companies.

Their profit extortion alone (not even revenues) is sufficient to overcome whatever small surpluses Canada has enjoyed over US in good trade. It is categorically treasonous and sickening that Canada's leadership continues military alignment with US.

Not sure what applies o amazon. They do have advertising/sponsored listings, but don't know if tax applies on overall business.

V2L and V2H are desirable features worth paying for. Grid sharing is not rocket appliances. In other thread, I showed how a 2nd EV that is barely used can pay for itself, but some static batteries are cheaper. 10kwh can power 2-5 homes overnight. Apartment units don't individually pay for exterior flood lighting. Mid to higher end cars have 50-100kwh battery packs. As an overall society, 80%+ of cars are parked somewhere at any time. The point of powering one house, applies to sharing for 1m houses.

You need H2 only after solar + EVs provides more than 24 hours of needed energy in an area. Although H2 does save on transmission costs for medium to long distance. One of the remarkable aspects of BYD Dolphin, now under $9000 for 32kwh battery is that the battery value alone is $260/kwh capacity, and if you never drove it, but sold electricity 2.6c/kwh higher at night than you pay at day, then you pay for the car in its entirety. Just batteries can be sold under $100/kwh in China, and you could make 200% ROI from 3c/kwh price differential. EVs and batteries can be paid by private sector instead of utility investment markup model.

H2 technologies are advancing, including storage and pipes. Electrical transmission is more than 10x more expensive than transmitting gas/H2, and saves money on that end relative to efficiency loss. Surplus solar with input cost at 2c/kwh or less achieves under $2/kg H2 target which is equivalent driving distance to $1/gallon gasoline, and 10c/kwh electric only value delivered energy, and 6c/kwh combined heat and electricity value.

The reasoning is actually that a food desert means greater revenues from a larger market circle for the desert wanderers to travel so they can eat. Company gets most of the profit without offering convenient service from the captives.

There is zero reason to run grocery stores at a loss. Competition that doesn't extort as strongly as other cartel members does screw over the cartel.

Instead of closing them, accept NYC offer of 5cents on the dollar to take over their lease. Everyone gets what they want.

OP sepcifically mentioned EVs. This sector is deflationary even in US, where better value/performance cars cost less every year. More dramatic deflation in less corrupt countries. Australia home solar costs under 1/3rd of US due to different politico-social corruption levels.

EVs and home solar are a great match that permits going offgrid at substantially lower cost if an EV is parked at home during day. That same dynamic allows a society/community to power itself through solar+batteries, and EVs parked at work. It's not a question of look at our corrupt obstructionist oligarchical monopoly state of societies for examples of lack of economic success as proof that it will forever be impossible.

In a market or effincient economy, where peak occurs mid hot summer day, 100% solar dominated renewables makes sense. In Spring and fall, EVs can absorb daily oversupply and profit from trading back at night. Winter is when solar can fail to meet heating and electricity needs, and so either backup energy sources or having much more than 100% peak demand in order to make green H2 that can be exported to where it gets cold is needed.

0 new nuclear is best amount of nuclear for any economy.
