You are highly regarded.
Unlikely. The upside of being socially inept though is that I have more time and headspace for important things…like knowing the difference between a Country and a Continent.

Did you seriously just compare the landmass of the United States with the entire fucking CONTINENT of Europe?
Yes…yes you did.
If that’s the comparison you want then the Area of North America is 24,474,000 sq km.
Now sit down short stack. You aren’t tall enough for this ride.
Okay done. I’ll give the instance a try and see how it goes. :)
Excellent! Should have been longer though.
Are you honestly saying I can steal the better part of a billion dollars and hop across the border to Mexico without worry?
In other longer articles you find out that it’s nowhere nearly a billion. The Solar Farms used to underpin the investments do exist and are productive. They have value in the hundreds of millions of pounds, but its apparently not quite enough to satisfy all of the bonds when they come do in 2025 and 2026.
This article points the finger almost exclusively at Liam Kavanagh and almost ignores Sean Clark, Thurrock’s Finance Director.
A bit of digging turned up this much longer article published a year ago and while Liam Kavanagh and his companies feature in it there’s also quite a bit more about Sean Clark’s role in all this.
There’s a part of me that believes he only ran again because, aside from his ego, he believed it would make him immune to indictments.
He should have listened when Liz Cheney, and more importantly her father, said he wouldn’t be allowed near the Presidency again.
The “Blue Wins” District Map is objectively worse than the “Red Wins” Distract Map as it has no politically opposed Districts, effectively silencing 40% of the Precincts. The “Red Wins” Distract Map is certainly skewed but is superior because it doesn’t silence its opposition.
In short what that picture is calling “Good” represents the same dissent silencing behavior that people are rightly mad at Conservatives about. “Fair Representation”, as presented in the article, looks a lot more like “Red Wins” and almost nothing like “Blue Wins”.
Quite a large number of Republicans, including Trump himself, spend decades trying to ram Yucca mountain through. It faced heavy resistance from both the Clinton and Obama Administrations, the State of Nevada, and myriad of environmental organizations. Trying to blame it on “Conservatives” is pretty ridiculous.

Yucca Mountain was killed by decades of persistent interference by opponents of nuclear power.
As for what France does, as I mentioned, the US has not developed or built that tech because there is ultimately no profit in it and the US is unwilling to spend tax money on it.
First Ford, then Carter stopped commercial re-processing in the United States. Reagan brought it back. G. H. W. Bush then put the brakes on it but stopped short of an outright ban. Clinton stepped on the brakes even harder but again stopped shy of a full ban and when Bush Jr came into office he started a slow process of bringing it back. That’s as far as this CRS Report goes although there may be an updated one somewhere out there.
Still, the US has spent money on it and was doing so at least as recently as 2008. It appears the biggest worry we have is proliferation of nuclear material, not profit or cost.
The McRib is objectively gross…which doesn’t stop me from stuffing my American face-hole with the damn things every time they’re available because despite being gross they are tasty.
They used to be a full time menu item but I guess the pork got too expensive so McDonald’s will buy pork when it’s cheap and stockpile it until they have enough to do another limited time promo with them. Been that way since somewhere in the early / mid 2000s if I remember right.
Average January temps where I live are lower than Stockholm. I chose Reykjavik because it’s a neat place, not because it was particularly cold. :)
It wasn’t until somewhere in the last 15 years that air type type heat pumps, as opposed to ground loop, could cope with the cold temperatures in the northern states without having to fall back to resistive heating for weeks at a time.
When you have to run resistive heaters the electrical usage skyrockets and makes a heat pump system vastly more expensive to operate.
If you live in a cold State, Zone 6 or higher, then you need to be careful when purchasing an ASHP to make sure that it has an HSPF of 10 or greater. If it doesn’t then you’ll be paying big electrical bills trying to keep your home warm. Those units are also more expensive to purchase than a regular Heat Pump like you would run down under.
Frankly nowhere in Australia experiences cold anything like what I do on a yearly basis. The coldest temperature ever recorded anywhere in your country was a mere -9f. Here in the United States there’s quite a few places where that is a common daytime high temperature in the winter, even in the lower 48. There’s quite a few places even in Zone 5, see previous map, that will get to -9 and stay there for days at a time.
It’s not uncommon for overnight lows in Zone 6+ to hit -20f and temperatures even lower are definitely possible. At my house in Wyoming last winter we touched -40f / -40c for a some hours one night.
Air type heat pumps simply could not handle those kinds of temperatures until relatively recently. That’s why so much of the US doesn’t have them already. They just didn’t work during the winter in northern half of the country.
Would the original team want to patent this finding…
Patents were already filed in Korea and internationally.
Average temperatures for Bangor, Maine in January are colder than the average temperatures for January in Stockholm, Sweden.
Still within range of a good heat pump but Scandinavian countries don’t have a lock on cold. January averages where I live in the US are colder than Reykjavik, Iceland!
…which in the north only happens for a few hours a year…
I know the guy in the TC video used Chicago as an example but the “few hours a year” thing simply isn’t true for many of us.
Where I live we had many days below -15f including a week where itpretty much stayed between -20 and -30 for nearly a week straight.
A Heat Pump will still work, even here, but you need to be careful about which one you purchase and how it handles cold weather.
A political party is not the Government nor do their ads attempt to whitewash Government misdeeds.
Was the US Federal Government paying Fox News to run ads talking about how the mass murder of American Indians was a good thing?
No? Then GTFO out of here with this whataboutism. It’s fucking gross.
Benjamin…get the Musket.
