Defund Universities: pull Government-backed student loans. Let people pay out of their own pocket if they find it valuable.

We need to drastically increase pension ages and even abandon retirement as a mainstream concept. Working part-time in 60s and 70s should be commonplace.

Overall daily profitability on a 3060 Ti is down from $1.56 pre-merge to $0.36 as of writing:

Seems logical to just sell the GPU for $300 on the used market and get 833x its daily mining profitability.

Or use electric pressure cookers. A lot of heat energy is lost to steam in regular pots.

Make sure to also cap your FPS or use Vsync. No point pumping out 100fps when you have only a 60hz TV, etc.

The typical American kitchen doesn't exhaust cooking fumes out of the house - the rangehood (typically part of the microwave) just sucks the fumes up and blows them over the head of the cooker, distributing food particles and steam around the entire house (perfect for mold growth!).

It blew my mind seeing this as an Australian, where externally venting fans are standard.

Looking forward to the Digital Foundry video.

This is where voluntary euthanasia, as is being practiced in Canada, would be suitable option.

I wouldn't want to continue living if I was a burden on society and my family.

Can we ever reasonably expect to use our cars for that, with vehicle2grid?

I have a ~60kWh battery sitting around in my garage, that I typically only use 10% for daily driving.

ProTip: Run your AC hard overnight, when temperatures are in the low 70s, and use your house as a thermal battery (assuming its reasonably insulated).

California is following the WEF Agenda on Digital Identity:

The goal is to de-anonymize all dissent, and unperson anyone who dares criticize the regime. See: Canadian truckers, Australian anti-lockdowns moms, etc.

If you want to protect children from adult content, just require ISPs to block a list of explicit websites unless the service owner opts-in.

Even regular tap water in many US cities is contaminated with PFAS and other pollutants.

When water does reach a house, only about 5-20% is used for cooking or drinking - the rest for watering plants, showers, toilet flushing, washing.

Is it better to just outfit each home with an under-sink reverse osmosis machine and pipe in raw reservoir water?

American Federal Spending is driven by social security recipients - the elderly and disabled (60% of Federal Spending and rising)

We can no longer afford that. Government pensions should be abolished and the retirement age raised.

Mandating payment provider or store competition has no clear end result, with significantly more overhead for everyone.

Countries around the world already regulate pricing on things like Credit Card transaction fees. This should be no different. In Australia for example:

"Each scheme's average interchange fee, weighted by the value or volume of transactions in each interchange category, is required to be below a benchmark of 0.50 per cent for credit cards, and 8 cents for debit and prepaid cards."

No one can making any money except platform holders. 30% commissions are egregious. These aquisitions are just the side effect.

We need a commission cap on all platforms that do over $1billion in annual sales. The Apple vs Epic trial revealed 80% margins for Apple on the App Store:

A cap of 10-15% should do it.

The bus and bus network of the future is more likely to be built and operated by Elon Musk than any Government agency. Auto-routing, and segregation by socio-economics (based on rider ratings and enforced subscription fees) is the killer feature of a sustainable mass transit system.

Its unclear if we even have the metal mining capacity (or the ores in the ground) to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBVmnKuBocc

Why don't we just burn all these plastics in waste2energy plants?

Even with perfect recycling, the limitation seems to be on collection and separation.

Not if we figure out vehicle-to-grid.

The technology is available now. Tesla satisfies the high-end. Leafs and Bolts satisfy the mid-range. Chinese econo-boxes for the low-end.

2035 is too far out. This could have been implemented 2025.

Add at least 60,000 illegal immigrants each year: https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-53734793

Who are likely to be entering the country already with health problems.

Can't usher in a new order if the old order is still functioning.

What will have to give is the welfare state. Difficult to see how a retirement age in the early 60's is sustainable given this level of inflation. Better to abandon pensions entirely and just offer disability stipends for those who cannot work due to advanced age.

Returning several million net-negative economic migrants to their home regions would also be necessary.

Seems logical for China to just fund political parties and DEI initiatives. Cheaper than building a blue-water navy.

Drag Coefficient of .35 (vs Model 3 of .23) and a whole bunch of extra weight for this crap is likely to result in very poor range.

Why are legacy auto makers wasting time on this sort of stuff?

Fat goes rancid. Sugar is shelf stable and preservative.

Nutrition is not guided by fads, but by food manufacturer and retailer profit margins.

Phone hardware and telecommunications networks have only recently been powerful enough to support a TikTok-like social network. Video wouldn't have worked in 2015 in an era of 3G/4G phones and 4 inch iPhone 5's.

Electricity can run heat pumps which are great for heating. Even better if its a water-to-ground loop underneath the building, if there is no existing district heating system.
