Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar’s worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100’s of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it’d be a heck of a vanity project.
If Russia is successful in Ukraine, that makes it more likely that in future China will be able to carry out the same trick in Taiwan.
We do still have leaded petrol. All piston engined aircraft are still burning fuel with added lead.
In your car crash analogy, we are now past the point where hitting the brakes will help. The car will be irrepairably destroyed and all passengers will be killed.
If it has to be shouted at you, its not news, its propaganda. But she was brave in a tight spot, for sure.
You’ve come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.
If you are polite to a potential scammer on the phone or on the internet, you are giving them a chance to persuade you into being scammed. Block at will.
Maybe you dont have too many extra fees, but when you use your visa card or MasterCard to buy from a merchant, 3% of the purchase price is paid by the merchant to visa/MasterCard. In the long run that puts prices up because the vendor is passing on those costs to you, the buyer. Its a tricky issue because if you pay cash, the shop has to store, transport securely, and pay to deposit the cash into a business bank account. That might cost around 3% of their takings too. The feeling here is that if you buy 100 pounds worth of shopping, it doesn’t cost visa/MasterCard anything like 3 pounds to process that payment, more like a few pence. So perhaps we are being taken advantage of?
the phrase is “waffle stomping”
if you are paying for any streaming service that has advert breaks, you are the reason there are commercials. imagine if subscribers walked away when they were introduced!
i read the list of injuries and wondered how many of the victims were wearing seatbelts !
dammit i said the same thing independently, but you were first by 12 hours. hats off to you, sir !
it was only 15cm long. that’s at best a Master Dagger, not a master sword! still too long to be legal to carry out in public though.
This happened because your visa claim should have been ‘stolen card details/fraud’ but it was put through as ‘food not delivered’ instead. Either your card issuer didn’t understand what was needed, or else it was poorly described to them. And you can’t claim twice on the same transaction.
