Until the thing caught fire, he didn’t seem particularly concerned. Either it was part of the plan or it was immaterial.

Jaqen is an assassin. He was “paid” to assinainate a Westerosi, so he went there to do the job. Not sure why you’d need a more complicated theory than that.

29 absolutely had a radar. It was integral to the bombsight. Though, for the nuclear missions, they had it turned off for fear its emissions would damage or set off the bomb early.

F-35 will not carry AIM-9, ASRAAM or IRIS-T operationally. One, because AIM-9 is rail launched and physically can’t be fired from the bay. Two, the other two IR missiles will never be carried internally because that means trading a MRM for a SRM. That makes zero sense given the aircraft’s capabilities and tactics.

Gas has been, mainly, replacing coal and nuclear plants throughout the developed world. It’s a drop in substitute for dumb grids. All “new” power is coming from wind and solar and they do not require gas plants, as you suggest. “Base load” is an archaic way of thinking based on archaic, dumb grid systems. Smarter,…

You’re only confused because 1) you don’t seem to grasp finance and how cost of capital and IRR is the driving force of these decisions. 2) You’re using assumptions about these technologies that are 10 years out of date.

Are you even bothering to read? I covered this. Vermont Yankee is closing because it only had 1 reactor. Paid off plants are not competitve if they only have 1 reactor. Even Clinton NGS in IL, which was completed in 1987 (one of the newest in the country) and has far lower running costs because it’s relatively new, is…

Vermont Yankee was shut down because, as a single reactor site, it was far more expensive than natural gas or wind. Plants with 2+ reactors have better economies of scale, and are competitive with gas and wind *IF* the plant is subsidized or paid off.

Yeah, but like environmentalists in general, no one is listening to them. What’s really stopping the nukes are the bankers. They’re refusing to lend until the industry can *prove* it can build reactors on time, on budget, and can sell electricity for less than gas or wind (including capex).

Sounds like you need a bigger monitor. Also, what kind of AA are we talking about? Because SSAA makes a big visual difference that FXAA or less intense AA methods do not.

LOL, an evo psyc advocating science education. Evo psyc is barely a science and is proliferated by jackasses who use sophistry to justify their backwards (usually sexist and Classist) notions of society.

That’s a lot of text that does nothing to refute the actual argument at hand. Also, you suck at parables. A good parable is both literally and figuratively consistent and true. If you deny the literal parable, you’re saying it’s a bad parable. So either back it up, or explain why Jesus told a bad parable.

First, LOL. Second, how does “the government” benefit from “robbing you blind“ by inflation? Third, what is your proposed alternative?

Inflation isn’t thievery. It’s a penalty for laziness and stupidity for people who think stashing cash in a mattress is a good idea.

That’s called “moving the goal posts” or a “straw man”. Borrowing, by itself, doesn’t make you rich. That is absurd. It is not slavery either, because THAT is also absurd.

All the camera flashes and stage lighting are illuminating everything. There’s no shadows, even inside of her mouth.

1) Buying with cash is asinine. You’re trading interest cost for opportunity cost. 4 years driving a shitty car is not worth the couple grand in financing (and no, going cash does not make a difference. I literally did this last week and played that exact game.)

Your insults would have bite if you had actually countered any of my points at any time in this conversation.

Of course you didnt get a 820. I never received a 856 or a 810. Oh wait, no, I got the 856, but your REF segment is *all wrong*. Didn’t you see the rejection 997? Did you even read the specs?

Actually, yes. If a dealer/carmaker is offering loans with interest lower than the inflation rate (common for new cars) they literally are giving you money, because what you pay them back (seeing as future dollars are worth less than current dollars) with is worth less than what they gave you. That is not slavery.…
