Are you expecting that the for-profit college will go back and retroactively rescind degrees? What’s the end-game for re-running the thesis?

Article is paywalled, but love the headline. Imagine a future with energy as an essentially free resource. We have a LONG way to go, but just the fact that we are moving in the right direction gives me a glimmer of hope for the future.
Actually the low cost part of this was that they weren’t upgraded cells. Just tested-good cells from other battery packs. Most of the time it’s just a couple cells in the bigger battery that have issues, and they take those out of the pool and make a good amount of $$$ because we were required to send back all of our cells. Assuming that of the 26 (iirc) cells that 3 or 4 were bad that’s a big profit margin for sure. The car worked great after swapping them out.
I replaced the main battery in a Gen1 Prius. Fiddly. Had to get a strong buddy to help lift it in and out of the car, but we did it in a long weekend. A full set of ‘used but tested’ cells cost something like $750 but that was probably 8 years ago.
I ‘AINT ROLLIN’ WITHOUT MY MAN GOLDBUG!
If it’s even possible. I’ve personally swapped the main battery pack on a Gen 1 Prius. Not easy, but more tedious than technical. Lifting the assembled unit was a hell of a chore but a coulple strapping dudes managed it. Reconditioned cells are available in a lot of places. I’ve had a Nissan Leaf and would get another one, but even finding a battery, let alone any info on swapping it was pretty much impossible.

This is like those horrible choice “would you rather” questions. Eat the hot dog, or drink the alcohol.
I’m thinking that would decrease the chance of problems.
There better be. Charcoal is semi-burnt wood. Coal is effectively ‘solid’ oil. Cooking with regular coal would be horrible.
A close friend was raised in the Carolinas. They were taught that the civil war was about “states rights”. It wasn’t until they were an adult that they did their own looking into what “rights” the southern states were fighting for. It really opened my eyes to how the blinders have been put on so many people. I’m 100% sure that I have my own set, but it’s important to remember, and engage these people when you have an opportunity.
For me, it moreso came down to the fact that the church was essentially becoming just a wing of the Republican political party.

I’m wondering who defines “luxury items”. I’d currently put a trip to the dentist and a car with under 120k miles in the luxury category.
Yeah, 10 years is too short. 18 sounds pretty good. I’d also want to give them a full retirement. Ostensibly, they’d be less likely to sell influence.
The BIG unintended consequence here is that this makes starting a new party just to leech off the government a big target. Who cares if you never get anyone elected, so long as you can have government paid salaries and airtime.
I do hope you’re correct!
Yet, Musk (along with a bunch of financiers) did actually pay 44Bn for something…
It doesn’t take a 4D chess player to realize that .05% of one’s net worth would be a good ROI to own the President (again). Putin has such a deep grasp on not only his own country’s wealth, but it’s also no 4D chess move for Putin to shell-company a few tens-of-billions here and there all over the world before invading his neighbor. The hard part is that Trumps finances are being watched pretty closely, so getting the rubles to him without raising suspicion is the 4D chess part.
Absolutely. Putin is said to be a trillionaire. The difference between Trump’s net worth and Putin’s is “about a trillion”. Putin is just going to purchase the US by bankrolling Trump and the Republican party.
Great points. Note: I’m not arguing against it as a concept. I’m just skeptical that it’ll happen, and even if it did, there wouldn’t likely be terrible consequences for the accused, especially as that’s what science is… new facts change the outcome vs choosing an outcome and matching facts to it.
