How about they stop making the franchise a real-time action RPG.

I would prefer it to be opt in, instead of opt out. Maybe the centralized opt out won’t be as toothless as the do not call list.

We didn’t replace jobs with productivity gains. We absorbed them into our jobs. Consider expense reports. Used to be that you would send all your receipts to an administrative assistant and they would send you a report to approve. Now that work gets pushed down to an individual responsibility. Company thinks if we let each worker do a little more, we can get rid of this position.

That graph is horrible and provides very little data. The graph shows the output volume of a single coal plant and then compares it against a just a volume. Without knowing how many plants would be required to consume that much volume, you have two different units of measure along displayed. Volume per plant VS Volume.

A better comparison is given in the article, which says LNG is half the CO2 output per unit of energy produced. This doesn’t capture the whole picture though and the article dives into those details related to leakage of gas, and costs to produce. The article doesn’t bother to give a comparison to the emission equivalent of the energy spent to mine the coal either.

I don’t think the article is making the assertion that its author is attempting to make.

Looks like someone missed a negative sign in the equation to account for the reverse gravity direction. /s

HAM radio is amateur radio, rules and frequencies are established with the goal of promoting amateur use. Emergency service use would be a professional use and are licensed separately. The statement that citizens are not allowed to encrypt traffic should instead say that HAM radio operators are not allowed to encrypt their communications in accordance with their license.

How so? Your WiFi broadcast is encrypted. Your cellphone signal is also encrypted. The FCC doesn’t bar encryption. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2014-title47-vol5/pdf/CFR-2014-title47-vol5-sec90-553.pdf
Now this last point is only relevant for the US but generally laws governing radio transmissions are fairly similar around the world.

No, the racism is built into the uniform standard.
