Homes in England are more cramped than those in New York City, according to new analysis that showed UK property offers the worst value for money in the developed world....
Some 38% of UK homes were built before 1946, higher than the level of 29% in France, 24% in Germany, 21% in Italy and 11% in Spain. That means British properties by comparison are poorly insulated and come with higher energy bills.
I’m assuming this number is so high in the UK because the rest of Europe had much if its older housing destroyed by war and subsequently rebuilt after WWI and WWII.

In 2017, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress tried to eviscerate the A.C.A. and almost succeeded in passing a bill that the Congressional Budget Office estimated would have left 22 million more Americans uninsured by 2026.

I know they pounded the drum of “repeal and replace” the ACA forever, but in all of these years they have no ONCE posted a draft of any legislation that would even come close to replacing the ACA.
How do Republicans even still say they have a better idea after all these years with nothing to show for it? I’m not even talking about legislation that passed, just a draft of what they’re proposing. What has stopped them from opening up Microsoft Word and just writing their “better” replacement? Could it be there IS no better replacement they are interested in passing?
I agree. I can afford even today’s ludicrous health care costs, but I know I’m an exception. So many of us can’t. For that reason I’m a proponent of “single payer” universal healthcare that all of use can afford which is indeed better than today’s ACA. However, I am well aware that is even farther away from what Republicans would want. Hence my statement that Republicans can’t even produce a draft of what they deem to be better, not that I’d agree with their definition of better.
The money for the projects in Monday’s announcement comes from the Energy Department’s Industrial Demonstrations Program, which was funded by the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act....
I think companies should be paying for this themselves. Or at least most of it.
Continue your thought through the next few steps.
Why would a company spend money on something that doesn’t make them money and isn’t required? Further which technologies do they deploy? There isn’t a proven case of which ones work yet. Thats what this money is funding: demonstration projects so they can tell which things are worth doing and which aren’t. Then laws could change to force companies to implement the proven technologies.
In a lab, sure. The next step is to scale them up, which is frequently where difficulties are found. Running these in a full sized factory is that step, and is exactly what this article is reporting on.
Did you read the article?
I did, in fact, read the article, where it clearly said these were "demonstrate novel technologies can operate at scale. Here, I’ll cut and paste from the article so you can read it too because it looks like you’re having difficulty finding it:
“While the projects themselves would put a relatively small dent in U.S. emissions, Ms. Granholm said the goal was to demonstrate novel technologies that can scale up rapidly and “set a new gold standard for clean manufacturing in the United States and around the world.””
And if they weren’t proven, then fund open research. Don’t hand companies money.
What open research can you fund to prove something operates at scale? Are you advocating for creating government run steel companies from scratch just to implement a single plant to test a new concept at scale? If not, what is YOUR suggestion for how to test these at scale without giving money to a company that does it today, and without creating a brand new company run but the US government? Please enlighten me to your path.
I was wondering if you read it and saw demonstration, but how I read that in its context is demonstrate as in “hey industry see it does work, see see see? Stop denying.” Whereas you seem to take it as test to see if it does work, which obviously I think is wrong.
I’m sorry you’re not familiar with the industry language being used in the articles. Your position is that once a technology has been shown to work, it can do so any capacity. While I wish this was true, but it simply isn’t. A perfect example is Solid State Batteries. They can be produced in small numbers in a lab no problem. We even have a few small scale manufacturing operations, but they are very low capacity and very expensive. How can this be? The technology exists. Why can’t it be made in the millions? Because creating them at scale isn’t there yet. Things that work in small quantities don’t always work when you’re doing a bunch of it. Processing need to be developed. Technology needs to advance in the manufacturing space. This is the same concept being applied with these green investments in the article.
Lol heat pumps work.
Heat pumps do work! I had one at my last house for HVAC. I have one in my cloths drying. I have one on my house’s water heater. I’m a huge fan of heat pumps. However these are small scale implementations. What additional challenges do you get when instead of heating one house, you’re attempting to heat/dry a warehouse sized single room containing massively more moisture in the air than a typical residence? I don’t think you know. I don’t know either. None of us do for sure. Not even industry experts. That’s why they’re testing these in single places first so that the technique can be perfected and replicated in hundreds of other factories.
(Your prior reply was falling all over itself to cover all the bases for deniability, but it was clear with “prove” and whatnot.)
No, I was following the logic that would seem to flow from your statements that you were missing the follow on steps. I was attempting to not treat you like you couldn’t come up with it yourself.
You’ve attacked from the start and continue here, so have a nice day.
No,I disagreed with you from the start. That isn’t attacking you. If you’re going to claim anyone that disagrees with you is attacking you, I can tell you will be running into people “attacking you” for the rest of your life. Your response was abrasive and claimed I hadn’t read the article, where clearly I did.
so have a nice day.
I suppose were at the end, so I will. Thanks, you too!
The juntas that seized power have cut ties with Western allies assisting local military efforts, kicking out French and other European forces and turning to Russia instead.
“I’m sorry…Russia…is busy and can’t answer the phone right now. Please call back at another time”.
For any country thinking Russia is going to help them militarily just needs to look at Armenia, who it was in the Russian defense pact like NATO, and got stomped on by Azerbaijan and Russia did nothing to help Armenia.
“The National Guard is separate from the Russian Armed Forces.[3] A law signed by President of Russia Vladimir Putin established the federal executive body in 2016. The National Guard has the stated mission of securing Russia’s borders, taking charge of gun control, combating terrorism and organized crime, protecting public order and guarding important state facilities.[4]” source
Reminder: Putin sent about 10% of the Russian National Guard to the Ukraine in January source
I wonder if the effectiveness of Russian National Guard in protecting Moscow was affected Putin sending many of them to Ukraine.
“The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped.”
So in the 2020 election where Trump lost was the ‘hand of god’ not on Trump and that’s why he lost or was ‘hand of god’, all-powerful, beaten by the electorate?
Which is it? Was the ‘hand of god’ on Biden in 2020 instead, or was the all-powerful god powerless to stop Biden getting elected?
The law and its premise is nuts, lets just get that out of the way first.
“The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,” the bill reads.
So on one hand this is a reading about banning any efforts of geoengineering. But modern day airplanes already dump “chemical compounds” into Tennessee airspace today as part of jet engine exhaust. The argument would be “oh, planes are okay because they’re not dumping to affect weather even though those gases are affecting the weather via climate change.” Doesn’t that argument open up license for anyone to dump whatever they want (including geoengineering materials) if they can claim that isn’t their primary purpose?
Reading comprehension: with the express purpose of… That’s not the express purpose of those planes.
Critical thinking: the express purpose is whatever the creator/operator of the machine says it is.
Jet engines on a plane’s express purpose is to create a high pressure jet of air out one side to propel the craft forward. However, jet engines express purpose can also used to put out oil well fires:
What makes one vs the other? Whatever the creator and operator of the machine decides.
Specifically about geoengineering,
There is a company releasing sulfur in geoengineering experiments source.
Spraying sulfur is also used in gardening to treat plant disease and pest control. source
So if I say my “express purpose” of releasing sulfur is for plant disease and pest control, even though the other thing it could do would be geoengineering via the same release, I would be in compliance with the wording of the law yet still be geoengineering.
This lockup period prevents him from selling for 6 months to prevent the share price from tanking just after the merger from insider selling, but the board could decide to remove that restriction so he could start offloading shares.
I can’t see why the board would remove the restriction when they likely have stock too. They likely understand the grift and know that they need to get theirs sold off before Trump tanks whatever is left.
In the month of February, Donald Trump finally neared the start of his general election campaign against Joe Biden—while burning through his political operation’s coffers for even more cash to support his legal defenses....
The PAC also deferred payment on more than half a million dollars in additional fees to Alina Habba, who represented Trump in both of his milestone court losses in New York this year, while racking up a $645,000 bill to a company tasked with managing legal records in his business fraud case.
Why do I get the feeling Ms. Habba is never getting that money? She could sue, I suppose, but she’d be in the back of a long line of people doing the same.
A new budget by a large and influential group of House Republicans calls for raising the Social Security retirement age for future retirees and restructuring Medicare....
GenX will largely be retiring in the next 15-20 years. So if your estimate is true, its squarely targeting Millennials. Goddamn, how much more can Millennials take? They were in college at the peak of tuition costs, with high student loan interest rates, graduated right into the time of the Great Recession, having their career progress stunted by the pandemic, haven’t been able to save for retirement on their own, and now Republicans want to raise the bar again so they can’t retire on Social Security until later, and even when they do they’ll get lower payouts?
I can’t even imagine what Millennials are feeling now.
“You are, but have your years of playing Call of Duty on the Xbox imbibed you with the required physical stamina and animal tracking skills of your Paleolithic ancestors? Remember, the question is what animal can you take down, not your species, you.”
“Your tribe? I’ve seen your tribe. There’s the guy that after years still won’t shut up about how the final goal in the finals should have been counted. The one that unsuccessfully tries to cover up his noxious farts by loudly yelling ‘What time is it?!’. Then there’s the one that was convicted of a minor felony and none of you will tell me what the crime was and you try to change the subject, but you refuse to ever go bowling with him again. Lastly there’s the one that looks and acts fairly normal, but is very reserved. Honestly he could do better than you guys and I’m not sure why he continues to put up with you all. He’s the only one of all of you I’ve ever heard utter the words ‘Thank you’ for anything, but even then he was talking to the cat. Yeah, I’ve seen your tribe. I think the animals are pretty safe from you all.”
I wouldn’t think so. I would think they’d seize properties base on only the equity, not the total mortgaged value. Likely why this list is so large, so little equity in any of the properties so more need to be seized to meet the total balance of the judgment.
No…? I’m not sure how you got that. I think the confusion in communication goes back to @Pronell 's statement. Let me introduce my additional understanding there. They said the following, note my addition:
So if these properties are seized and mortgaged to the hilt, he’s still responsible for the balance owed [on the mortgages], isn’t he?
So to restate my position:
No, I do not believe so. I don’t think if the court took a $10million property with a $9million mortgage on it (meaning $1million in equity), I do NOT believe Trump would still owe the outstanding $9 million mortgage. The court would have the equity AND the debt, and would sell off the property keeping the equity and paying the lender the outstanding balance.
Further, lets say for easy math the judgment was only $5 million. Lets also assume that there were 5 identical properties with value, mortgage, and equity. I believe the court would take 5 properties which would equal the $5 million in equity which would equal the $5 million in the judgement.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he will hold up a $1 trillion “minibus” spending package that needs to pass by the end of the day Friday to avoid triggering a partial government shutdown....
“My opposition to this will be based on how much” the package would add to the U.S. debt, which now stands at $34.5 trillion, he added.
Hmm, why could be a cause of this?
“On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law the so-called Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), a $1.9 trillion tax bill favoring corporations and wealthy Americans.” source
Also of note: it’s almost always worse for the environment to replace a working gas car with an EV.
I see this sentiment repeated a lot, and it strikes me as … incomplete.
If measured at just the individual level this is absolutely true. If you own a current ICE car, 100% of the resources and energy used to create that car have already been expended. Essentially its already been “paid for” in CO2 for the creation of the vehicle (but not the operation of it, for forget that for now). Disposing of a perfectly working CO2 “paid for” ICE car to buy a new BEV that takes on the “bill” of “paying for its CO2” is environmentally negative.
However, this ignores that these actions don’t happen in isolation. You don’t DISPOSE of your old well running ICE car. It goes to a new owner, not the trash heap. Running used cars have to come from someplace, and people replacing their old dead ICE (or very poorly running) cars may not be able to buy a BEV today because they are still relatively high compared to well running used cars.
I wonder if there isn’t actually a net benefit to the environment for folks that want a BEV parting with a well running ICE car. The oldest cars on the road today usually have the worst emissions. Those owners may be hanging onto those old ones because better running, better emissions used ICE vehicles are more expensive and out of reach. So trading in a well running ICE would push down prices on better used cars allowing buyers in that segment to truly scrap the worst polluting cars on the road.
I’d like some real evidence before I throw my full weight behind this opinion and I haven’t found enough through my quick google searches. One article supporting this position (which one isn’t enough) is here. Its talking about Western nations exporting used vehicles and these are usually the oldest, which are the worst polluters.
If anyone has reputable evidence or articles for or against this. I’m interested in seeing them.
And then there’s the argument, that a hunk of aluminium with pistons is “cheaper” (in terms of ecological impact) than lithium.
If you’re going to include the environmental impacts of the one-time lithium extraction (which are usually exaggerated anyway), you must also include the decades of environmental impact of petroleum exploration and extraction. You don’t get to count just the cost of burning the fuel either. You must include the of searching for new deposits, setting up extraction infrastructure, infrastructure for logistics for shipping all the raw then refined goods, and possibly even the costs and geopolitical impacts of war for securing petroleum interests globally.
In fairness, I would also include the cost for electricity generation as a cost for BEVs for an apples-to-apples comparison. Electricity generation (transmission and distribution) will vary widely but we have these metrics for the USA at least. In extreme cases, there are BEVs charged with rooftop solar, which would SERIOUSLY undermine your argument about ICE vehicles being a better ecological choice.
If you’re going to include the environmental impacts of the one-time lithium extraction (which are usually exaggerated anyway), you must also include the decades of environmental impact of petroleum exploration and extraction.
And that’s where your argument falls flat, because we are not talking about the past, we’re talking about the future and making it a better one. EVs are a part of that future, but not “the only” thing in that future.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say here. Your prior post seemed to make a comparison to the CO2 created with ICE vs with BEV. That’s what I was responding to. What “the future” thing has to do with that comparison? ICE and BEV vehicles are made today and the inputs are known. There is nothing ambiguous about today’s vehicles. You seem to suggest ICE are lower CO2 impact than BEV. I think you’re leaving out massive amounts of CO2 with ICE.
You don’t get to count just the cost of burning the fuel either. You must include the of searching for new deposits, setting up extraction infrastructure, infrastructure for logistics for shipping all the raw then refined goods, and possibly even the costs and geopolitical impacts of war for securing petroleum interests globally.
You missed the point completely.
Feel free to restate it in a single clear statement. Your point is not clear from your prior post or this one.
In fairness, I would also include the cost for electricity generation as a cost for BEVs for an apples-to-apples comparison.

No - they wouldn’t, for the simple fact, that zero co2 stays zero co2. They can be on par with a small battery, but everything above 60 kWh needs more than 15 tonnes of co2 to be even produced, making the rucksack impossible to get rid off. A current Golf needs around 9t of Co2 to be produced, a current ID.3 needs 14t
You’re calling out numbers for production of EV without including the equivalent ICE CO2 creation (and not just manufacturing). “rucksack”?
So if both cars are “fueld” with energy that has zero co2 emissions, the ID.3 keeps it’s 5 tonnes deficit.
Where are you getting efficiently created, consumable. and widely available ICE fuel with zero CO2 impacts?
Chubb was the only company willing to even try and negotiate that, and Trump couldn’t come up with a satisfactory package for them.
I’m seeing possibly subtext here that Chubb intentionally screwed Trump which was a surprise.
So Team Trump were talking with Chubb for bonds against both the $91 million judgment as well as the $464 million judgment. Team Trump was offering up both liquid assets (the Schwab brokerage account with whatever stocks and bonds are in there) and real estate. Team Trump really wanted bonds against the real estate.
It looks like Chubb said something like “Hmm, well we have two bonds we’re talking about here. Lets do the $91 million bond in purely liquid, and then we can look at the real estate for the $464 million bond. Seeing how you need the $91 million bond in a couple of days lets get that knocked out first”. Team Trump agreed handing over all the liquid assets (the Schwab account) so the $91 million bond is now “fully collateralize” meaning liquid money to back up the bond.
Then Team Trump says “Okay the $91 million bond worked great! Now lets do the $464 million bond backed by Trump real estate!”
Chubb says “Hard pass, not interested.”
So all the good stuff is gone and Trump has nothing good left to try to secure any bond on the $464 million. Chubb makes whatever commission they placed on top of the $91m bond, and simply pays out the $91m to Jean Carrol when the appeal fails. Jean Carrol wins, Chubb wins, Trump gets played.
I say all of this with zero love for Chubb, but when a grifter gets grifted, its satisfying to watch.
I played the hell out of OW1. They turned off OW1 servers and required my actual real phone number to continue to play on OW2. Wouldn’t even let me use a VIP number. There is no time in this universe where I will want Blizzard/Activision or its advertising partners to have my real phone number. No interest in OW2.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that donors are no longer interested in paying for the ever growing legal judgments against Trump. The whole “stable billionaire” narrative takes a bit of a hit when you always have your hand out asking for someone else to pay the bills from you breaking the rules.

State media reported that a grouping of ships from Russia’s Pacific Fleet, led by the Varyag cruiser, arrived at the Iranian port of Chabahar on Monday ahead of the drills that will see representatives from the navies of Azerbaijan, India, Kazakhstan, Oman, Pakistan and South Africa act as observers....
Iranian state media, meanwhile, reported that the exercise’s goal is to strengthen “the security of international maritime trade, combating piracy and maritime terrorism”, among others.
Isn’t Iran the nation that is giving intelligence and missiles to Houthi rebels that are causing the current danger to shipping in the Red Sea? A karmic response would be if an Iranian ship was hit by an Iranian missile in the Red Sea fired by the Houthis.
This was my attempt to create a a SNES to Bluetooth adapter. It works but the average latency was 18.35ms, which I think is too much to be considered a good controller.
How much are you doing with “rolling your own” vs using off the shelf solutions? For example if you are deep into rolling your own which Bluetooth profile are you using?
So you suspect the latency (enough of it anyway) is introduced in your translation code? I absolutely understand not wanting to go to the nth degree for optimization when this is a hobby project. Could you throw hardware at it? Not all ESP32 run at the same speed. Perhaps buy an oversized one that will execute your underperforming code faster?
I see a different reason Romulans are so upset. The Romulans and Vulcans were one people at one point with the major split being the Vulcans embracing logic and rejecting the hot-blooded and passionate Romulans. So millennia later do the Vulcans soften and embrace their emotion-having brothers? No. They find these other hot-blooded and passionate creatures called humans and then work patiently to shepherd them and their “Federation of Planets” into dominance in the Alpha quadrant of the galaxy all while still keeping Romulans at arms length. That would leave me bitter too.
Romulans didn’t need to be taught. They were always technological equals (possibly superiors if you count cloaking). Yet instead of making amends with an equal, Vulcans chose to embrace the neophyte humans and grow them to technological equality instead of embracing their brother and sister Romulans.
You’re doubling down on the “teaching” bit. I’m not seeing a “teaching” angle that makes any difference here. What is it that you think Vulcans taught humans than they wanted to teach Romulans?
By saying, “I don’t get why they cannot be friends.” you’re literally ignoring their entire reason for being written in to the show as opposition to Vulkan.
I’m not saying that. I’m saying it could be the perspective of the Romulans. The Romulans are less driven by logic and rationale than by their emotions and passions. Meaning, they’d make this assessment overriding logic and instead embracing emotion, envy and anger in this case.
Neither of them have the “correct” answer. Pure logic doesn’t work out, and pure emotion doesn’t, either. The entire point is that these “advanced” species still have fundamental social flaws and still conflict over silly things.
Absolutely, and humans are no exception to these conflicts. In the area of this conflict of thought process Humans, Vulcans, and Romulans are equal. There is no position that all 3 agree on 100% with each other.
The canon events of Enterprise seems to suggest very little went the way the Vulcans intended for humanity. At the beginning of the series, it was the Vulcans in the leadership role over humanity, while by the end of the series, it was humanity in the leadership role with the creation of starfleet.

I read the thread and article ready to come in here making a joke about Anthony Scaramucci having another shot at working for Trump only to check my sources and find this:
Anti-Trump political activities, 2019–2020
In July 2019, Scaramucci predicted that Trump would win “40+ states in 2020” but turned against Trump shortly thereafter, strongly criticizing Trump’s attacks against women of color as “racist and unacceptable.”[63] In August 2019, Scaramucci said that he no longer supported Trump’s reelection campaign.[64]
In June 2020, Scaramucci joined with Matt Borges and other well-known Republican operatives to launch Right Side PAC, a super PAC aiming to prevent Trump’s re-election as president and support his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.[66] Scaramucci served as an adviser to the group.[67][68] He was one of multiple other Trump former officials to endorse Biden.[69]
You do yourself a disservice when you lend your voice without vetting the cause. I worry you’ll get lumped in with them when they see your strong defense for their bad behavior.
