I drive a Mitsubishi PHEV. And it enforces this by not letting you drive on battery until you fill at least 20L of new fuel. So you're forced to use a portion of the tank at least every 90 days.

Not to excuse things, but was this an industrial monoculture tree farm that they replaced with a data centre? This isn't "wild" forest, is it?

Hasn't this been the plan for years now?

Alberta's electricity system is Canada's example of this. "de-regulation" meant the separation of generation, distribution and retail. Decades after this was supposed to lower the price of electricity, it's done the opposite. Big corporations are now guaranteed a profit at each layer of the system. There is no competition, because why would they compete if they're guaranteed a profit?

So the result is Albertans pay more than most other Canadians for electricity. Even if the actual rate is low (which it isn't), the cost of electricity is usually only 10% of my bill. The rest is "transmission" "distribution" etc. It's insanely expensive compared to next door in British Columbia.

I think both the UK and France have had nuclear weapons programs since the 50s and 60s. Are you thinking about the "Northwood declaration" ? Where they both said they would coordinate their nuclear responses?

In the comment you're replying to, "their diesel will only last 6 months" is a reference to Red Storm Rising. I don't think the commentator literally meant diesel. But whatever's happening inside Russia is forcing their hand. Either they act now, or their window shuts.

I have no idea what that is, but I'm interested. What is LVMH?

They are literally in the start menu.

They're a premium brand, not a luxury brand. That's an important distinction.

Dell, HP, etc. all have premium products as well as their economy ones. Apple just doesn't do cheap and economy products.

When that gold plated Apple Watch came out, you could feel the discomfort. That's luxury brand territory.

Even the most expensive Apple Watch isn't in that "luxury" category anymore.

How does Mullvad do it? They also have Canadian servers.

The argument is about State's Rights essentially. Can a state file a claim against a corporation that only has a small footprint in the state?

Where are those State's Rights people on this?
