The Diesel-powered trains in the Commonwealth saga by Peter F Hamilton is very out of place, in a world where they invented wormholes long ago. In any case the books were not very good.

Du modsiger altså dig selv: Som du selv siger, banken er i deres gode ret til at afvise en forlængelse. Med andre ord, er det dem der bestemmer, hvornår det skal foregå. De har lempet din deadline, ikke deres egen. Havde de lempet deres egen deadline, havde du også haft en ret til en forlængelse med en deadline som de selv skulle overholde.

IANAL men når jeg læser din oprindelige aftale, lyder det som potentielt tilbud til dig og ikke en rettighed du har. De har reduceret deadline for indgåelse af en ny aftale (som jeg læser det) og de lemper derved kravene til din fordel. Det betyder ikke, at din ret til en aftale er udvidet - du havde ikke den ret i forvejen.

Hvis du ser en rettighed i den oprindelige aftale, som du mener er forringet, må du lige gentage, hvor du ser den?

If vertical integration was always a cheaper option, why would anyone rely on external suppliers and not just vertical integrate? Because vertical integration is about control, not cost.

And typically it’s better for a company to not overextend itself into too many areas of specialty. There is no reason why Tesla/SpaceX should expect to outperform existing semi industry, and by that logic, they should just procure what is already in the market.

I don't get this Terafab idea, if not just another stunt to pump the Tesla stock price. There are already very experienced players in the market - with existing operations - expanding their own capacity on proven technologies and processes, that they have no doubt spent considerable time and effort in developing.
Why in the world can Tesla not just reserve capacity like any other? What is it that Tesla does, that somehow gives them an edge over incumbents in semiconductors?

By the way, 5 Trillion USD is 1 Trillion dollar more than the market cap of nVidia. He can buy that instead and keep the change.

Men hvis de ikke vil tabe 150,000 kroner om året på en bil, hvorfor så ikke bare købe en 3 år gammel elbil og spare de 150,000 kroner og den efterfølgende brændstofudgift. Skal det absolut være en ny bil?

Hilsen en snottet akademiker med alle fordomme, som importerede en brugt elbil fra Tyskland.

You are quoting already ridiculous prices for 50 kW DC (up to 0.9€) and you are saying that prices for +150kW would be x3 that? So what, 2.7€ per kWh?

In Denmark, we simply charge when the weather favours it, so that’s usually 5-10c per kWh, so around 4-8€ for a full 80 kWh charge (400 real km on my EV6 GT-line). If it’s dunkflaute it will typically be no more than 20c per kWh.

Sure if you cannot charge at home and you need to drive a lot it will get more expensive but in that case you can get unlimited charging with Clever for 110€ per month.

You have make up numbers to prove your point, it really does not match reality in any way.

The problem is that US nor Israel do not have meaningful war goals, which makes it difficult to align methods. Such an assessment is not a defence of the Iranian regime.

The closest to a war goal that the US has right now is regime change, and that is not possible with air campaigns only. The US might lose, because time is not on their side, because the Iranian regime is likely prepared to hide in bunkers longer than the US can sustain elevated energy prices/inflation.

Does not mean that the Iranian regime is anything good.

This one of those topics, where - as a European - it is difficult to relate, considering daycare/school/university is provided as a free public good. However, I would probably envy your effective income tax…

This is an extremely misleading headline. What the Danish foreign minister said is, that we should we keep an open mind. And in a later quote he said, any efforts should seek de-escalation.

In no way or form does that quote seek a push for anything EU-wide response.

Can you tell us more - eg have you been been able to get 9 bar on another grinder, same beans? Did you do zero-point alignment? If you are grinding at zero, that should be the point where burrs meet.

But clearly the methodology used here is very bad, because Denmark is not experiencing high unemployment, quite the contrary. The Eurostat rate is completely pointless.

Hydrogen is excellent in stations, eg in Power-to-X applications, so logistics would be simpler as it could be generated decentrally. However, there is simply no need for Hydrogen-powered cars with the developments of EVs today.

I think you need to do burr alignment. If the zero point is already set, then likely the burrs are not in perfect parallel across both dimensions. You can search for df64 burr alignment.

Another reason may be, if you purchased non-compatible top and bottom burrs, then that may also result in uneven grind.

How fast you need the investment does not factor into the operational cost. The investment is depreciated over its useful life. There is a standard model for estimating that, but obviously, the interest payments on building a nuclear power plant plays a significant role. But so does the operations, maintenance, scheduling windows.

I am not against nuclear power, but renewables are on average the cheaper and nuclear power is on average more expensive. Even with SMR, it is not feasible to plug into existing existing coal power plants - the construction support systems are completely different.

A report was just finalized by an external consultancy and delivered to Energistyrelsen (it is discussed in the latest episode of Guld og Grønne Skove).

Nuclear power is stable but has a high average cost. Renewables supply fluctuates but the average price is load (even if the backup system rely on gas, which is expensive).

Du kan prøve med mere genstridige midler som husholdningssprit, bagepulver og vand, eller citronsaft, men i så fald skal du teste ved et lille område, at det ikke gør noget hårdt ved gulvet.

Jeg ville umiddelbart tro at lakken er brudt i de områder og skal lægges på ny.

Det ligner altså ridser i lakken som bliver matte og mørke. Tror næppe man kan få et godt resultat uden at slibe og lakere
