In a larger scale of rights overall, your rights to do something should end when it restricts other people's rights. No one person should be above another. Not really how the world works, but it's the idealistic goal.

That's a lot of electronics waste. Estimates for 2025 e-waste into landfills was around 65 million tons, and it continues to rise each year. It's not an either/or, we can complain about both, but the scale difference makes the first seem a bit less dramatic. We should do something about our throwaway society.

It's profitable to greenwash. Every once in a while something legit gets through.

That makes sense. Wonder how much of that was considered in the test runs. Often times some of these green projects like to leave out the extras to pad their worth. At least this makes more sense than solar roads, which have so much more issues to deal with in wear and tear, even though the real estate is huge.

I get that, it must be something to consider, as well as just general dirt and other pollutants. But is that grease loss over the rails primarily or thrown everywhere? Someone who works the rails might know just from experience. Or the first run of this would have noted the problem, and maybe it wasn't anything different than any other solar panel and what crap they pick up regardless of where they are. But ground level is about as easy access for cleaning as you can get.

Is there buildup of grease? I didn't notice mention of it in the article. Being centered would give more exposure time vs. on the side where there might be trees. Having them above as a roof means more cost and structure to maintain, and accessibility issues. Maybe whatever they do get on them isn't a lot over time and is easier to clean than dealing with the other options.

If the door shuts...

Like being hungry and being presented with a plow. Now what?

I've tried it, but my mind keeps telling me I need to upgrade my plan.

Did they have a control group where the colors did matter? If there was never a condition of it mattering, why would anyone vary the presses, unless they just liked pressing red a lot, or the easier to reach buttons, or something else. Seems like an experiment that had already determined the result.

MS also has broken and depreciated a lot of Excel's functionality, yet it's still the standard. People just hate change, especially the ones that aren't actually using the product directly.

I agree but I just type calcu and that narrows it. Or if the calculator is a common thing to run, either a keyboard shortcut or taskbar.
