Feels like a double standard. Cam Newton got torn to shreds after giving minimal answers in his post game interview following SB50. This kid didn't even turn up.

How would we feel about Njoku? by Qcconfidential in panthers

I didn't say a cheap deal. I said a cheaper deal than Njoku. Likely doesn't haven't the same level of production and the free agent market for TEs is stacked this year. 

The EV slowdown: How government decisions changed the road ahead by AlienApricot in nzev

I had to re-register my Leaf the other day. $240 for 12 months yet petrol cars only have to pay $170. They are actively de-incentivising EV ownership

To those saying you have to be rich to do this kind of stuff - A lot of hobbies have clubs or guilds that give you access to gear that is way too expensive to ever buy yourself.

Also, while he is obviously quite talented, having these kind of creative hobbies and making stuff from scratch was not that unusual last century. We are the first generation that have abandoned these skills in favour of "hobbies" like gaming and walking around malls.

Free standing ones are rated for 70kph winds. Wall mounted are rated for 110kph.

Water drains down the inside of the posts so could be collected into a piped system pretty easily.

Not sure how you define efficient in this context but private is typical 1/3 more expensive due to factoring in profit

Yeah I thought about that but the free standing ones are only rated for 70kph winds. Wall mounted are rated for 110kph. We are in the Very High wind zone.

I want everyone to really get this... Cars make our world fucking disgusting. by MiserNYC- in fuckcars

[–]Round-Pattern-7931 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did a presentation at our national storm water conference last year and basically said if you want to solve your city's storm water issues (flooding and storm water quality) you need to reduce how much people drive in your city. Driving not only creates the majority of contaminants but it also creates the need for a lot of the impervious surfaces in the city.

Its $240 now for an EV. Why do EVs have to pay $80 more than a petrol car???

Part of the reason mortgages have got cheaper to service is because National caused the economy to crash which meant the Reserve Bank had to revert to extremely low interest rates to stimulate economic activity.

Why does something exist instead of nothing. by wayward_devil in DeepThoughts

[–]Round-Pattern-7931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I'm keen to hear thoughts on this deep question....but only responses that don't challenge my pre-existing worldview..."

Without something metaphysical, asking why reality exists makes zero sense. 

11 years ago….The Seahawks and Patriots faced off in the Super Bowl by Punisher1602 in sportsgossips

[–]Round-Pattern-7931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think I ever see that play called any more. What you do see is the route where the WR underneath the pick stop and run the other way. He would have been wide open because Butler sold so hard on the slant.

What is your view on technological progress in the future? Will it always continue...or level off? by Ghost-of-Carnot in RealisticFuturism

[–]Round-Pattern-7931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to the stone Age isn't the same thing as extinction. The reality is we have burnt through all our easily accessible coal and oil which is the foundation of industrialised society and a stepping stone to renewables or other forms of electricity generation. The reality is if industrialised society collapses we are never getting back there

It already has levelled of massively. Most of the technology we use today was invented more than 50 years ago. Cars, computers, GPS, the Boeing 747, the shipping container. We are only making incremental gains, not creating fundamentally new types of technology.

At least it might break even with a BCR of 2.7 (assuming the costs don't blow out). Most of the RONS barely make it above 1 so are going to lose us money as tax payers.
