Does anyone believe that Bill Gates actually said this?
He co-founded a company that partnered with IBM to provide the earliest, core software for the personal computer that exploded into the most important industry in human history.
There was no “proven system.”
Had he bought hundreds of Little Caesars Pizza and Jiffy Lube franchises, this would have been credible.
To the reader who sent me this:
Do you think those adjudicating this matter are going to be so stupid they think “reminding soldiers that have the right and duty to disobey illegal orders” and “sedition by the military” are the same thing? Seems unlikely.
There is nothing new about this idea, and there is most certainly no “new research.” The density of air is so far below that of water that anybody could have told you that ocean current energy would have made a great deal of sense, were it not so expensive: installation, maintenance, the transfer of energy to the shore, etc.
Fifteen years ago, this concept held some promise, but now it’s lost its appeal to everyone but hobbyists.
Look, if you’re going to make up complete bullshit about the science of dealing with homelessness, don’t pick Japan, as they have the lowest homelessness rate in the world at 0.003%, which is approximately 1 homeless person out of every 34,000 citizens, according to a 2022 study by the UK’s Greater Change Foundation which measures homelessness globally.
If you want to make your point, chose the U.S., where homelessness has increased from 1.75 per 1,000 people in 2022 to 2.3 per 1,000 people in 2024, a 30 percent increase, and about 77 times Japan’s rate. Of course, our government doesn’t care any more about caring for our homeless population that it does about rounding up lost canaries.
To the guy who sent me this:
He’s our savior! And just in time, too! The U.S. Constitution was approved in 1789, stipulating this law, but now Antifa wants to ensure that only registered communists may cast ballots.
You believe that, right?
This from Senior Energy Analyst Glenn Doty:
LOL! Where is it going? Mars?
One commenter said: “Why are our scientists scaring us like this?”
What do you think is more likely: a) a team of scientists actually said this, or b) some jackass who writes clickbait claims that “scientists” have made these findings?
There is no need to physically attach solar panels to your car’s roof to determine if it will charge your car. Of course it will while it’s in the sun. Let’s do some math:
If:
The area of this Tesla’s roof is 2 square meters (being generous),
The efficiency of the panels is 25%,
The capacity factor of solar (depending on your location) is 20%,
The sun’s irradiance is 1000 watts per square meter,
The Tesla’s battery capacity is 100 KWhrs,
And we neglect the increased weight and drag of the array,
We’re talking about 100 hours, more than 4 days.
Doesn’t sound like a bargain, especially considering that if you overbuild the solar array on your roof and charge your car in your garage, you’ve achieved the same goal at far less expense and inconvenience.
As we all know, there is no such organization.
This is typical of Trump and the way he appeals to his base — people who are so married to their extreme rightwing political philosophy that they’ll believe anything.
At some point, Trump will be gone. Yet returning the ability to think critically to these people will be quite a task.
If you don’t care what you pay for paper, this a definite possibility.
You can make it from collecting and processing discarded pizza crusts, too. My guess: Paper from grass: probably 1000 times the current price. Pizza crusts: 1,000,000 times the current price.
