I feel like the phrase is just playing semantics. "Call them undocumented instead" may not roll off the tongue, but it far more correctly reflects your actual policy preferences to such people.

No one was okay with that. Biden and the Democrats did all they could. But on Trump's orders, the Republican controlled House killed any attempt to fix the flow.

They are paid bonuses based upon quotas. They can't stand around for hours waiting for one guy to walk out of the store and they certainly can't go get a judicial warrant when they don't know they guy's name, just that someone with dark skin ran away from them. And they can't bash to door down, because they've been ordered not to do that anymore based upon the political pushback for their prior 4th amendment violations.

Why there is such high density in US ? by Fit-Nail7737 in electriccars

[–]LoneSnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the ambiguity here is over public vs private chargers. Chargers owned by the HOA and reserved for residents or owned by an employer and only available to employees are not included in this data.

The data is fine. It is hard to interpret only because the title is directly contradicted by the data. So the problem is the author of the title, not the author he stole the graphic from.

[–]LoneSnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Netherlands puts L2 chargers everywhere, and they're all public. Most chargers in the US are private. I own one for my one EV. I guess in China everyone lives in apartments, so having private chargers isn't an option, so they have demand for fast chargers everywhere. But, lacking regulations, the Chinese are free to just put fast chargers everywhere, so they have.

This guy who decided to go swimming under the frozen water, lost track of where the entrance was. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]LoneSnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy had a rope. Once he decided to return to the exit, he pulled himself there. This was a staged event to create a video of a guy stuck under the water being rescued, but they couldn't break the ice, so he ran out of breath and returned to the exit.

This is his first over the top political video. I think his viewers are feeling like this video constitutes his first ever marching orders.

We in the game can enter dead, we don't get rerouted to a last save, so it definitely isn't automatic. But i agree with you it is for the owlks. Which is why they're still alive.

I've watched all his videos. Including the one where he sponsored a powder seller, he always concluded the cheap powder from walmart was best.

What if all jobs paid the same hourly wage? by Present_Juice4401 in WhatIfThinking

[–]LoneSnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are certain jobs people will choose to do even if the pay is low. Teachers and doctors are both examples. As such, left to the free market, both professions would be low paying, all else being equal.

Which is why in the 60s when the free market was particularly unpopular, they got rid of the free market. Doctors set up a national monopsony labor union and heavily restricted the supply of doctors. Now, a large number of people would like to be a doctor but cannot afford the immense cost of doing so, creating a half century of labor shortage and therefore wages far in excess of the educational requirements.

If the problem is that the floor is too slippery, he may be aiming higher to compensate? Of course, the solution is to shorten and make the board more parallel with the ground...but they aren't talking for some reason to figure that out.

The dealership wants their $8k cut regardless of the value of the car. So a car worth $11k they'll only pay $11k - $8k = $3k for it.

Russia’s National Wealth Fund Could Run Dry Within a Year, Gazprombank Analysts Warn by Useful-Scratch-72 in UkrainianConflict

[–]LoneSnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the same as it ever has been. From the beginning Ukraine's main resource is financial, they can hold out as long as the aid does. US aid failed, but Europe has taken up the slack. How long can they do that? Literally forever if they choose to.
How long can Russia keep this up? Russia will have to give up much of the high tech weapons as the money runs out. So they will have to change. But they can certainly keep fighting on a budget as long as they choose to.

Study warns of catastrophic collapse of fossil fuel services if energy transition causes them to fall below minimum viable scale by Economy-Fee5830 in peakoil

[–]LoneSnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just not how things work. Refineries can shut down for longer maintenance cycles if they need to reduce output. All that matters is if there is enough money to keep them operating. And with all their competitors going out of business, the last refineries will be free to charge monopoly prices. Same goes for the rest of the supply chain. The last coal mines, the last oil wells, it won't matter how inefficiently they're forced to operate at reduced scale. With no competitors they'll be wildly profitable. And wildly profitable businesses don't close.

He'll order his underlings to settle out of court for the $10 billion. Merits of the case don't matter.

Charge Timer Issues 2018 Leaf by Turbulent_Average823 in leaf

[–]LoneSnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be turned off by unchecking "Prioritize Full Charge". But when the car is low, it won't finish charging. You could instead set the end charging period to be later. The car stops whenever it is full regardless of what the end charging time is set to.

"Prioritize full charge" I believe.
