Provoked Gamer is pretty baller. Are you asking for a friend?

Urbanist?

Up-state NY is more rural and conservative. Towns in the mountains can be fairly small and isolated; those areas vote extremely red.

The amount of goods that can be shipped and how much it costs to ship them is a massive part of this.

Vehicles have weight restrictions in a lot of regions. Everything you have to put into creating locomotion takes away from the transportation capacity. If the transportation capacity is too low, the investment into non-fossil fuel transportation of goods won't be made as rapidly by companies.

Although the exact load on the day was not shared, the event organisers have previously stated that the average loads during the trial have been around 31.8 tonnes (70,000 lbs).

Without the load size, this is all pretty meaningless. If you're going to talk avg load size, then you need to talk avg distances per charge/day.

IIRC, the price cap on labor was to reduce workers from getting drawn to other companies that were paying higher wages. The idea was to make production predictable by keeping the limited labor force in place rather than having them be mobile. It led to the rise of benefits, like health insurance, being offered as part of total compensation packages since the extras weren't capped. Effectively this was the start of insurance being tied to employment.

Law of unintended consequences hit us in a big way with this one.

Countries with the raw materials needed to make modern batteries are about to need some freedom. This is actually scary, because a lot of those minerals are in Africa, and China has a pretty large investment in Africa, already.

American here.

I'm all for minorities and other groups struggling for equality arming themselves. It is a lot harder for the government to stomp on your rights when they have to worry about you fighting back.

It wasn't that long ago the government used airplanes to bomb its own citizens...

Until America addresses it's police problem, which I propose stems from an ongoing inequality problem, the American public needs a way to defend itself.

Why are the Nordic countries so high?

Prefacing this question with the fact I'm an Android user and have never owned an iPhone. Saying this in the hopes people won't think I'm an Apple fanboi trying to make a point...

I haven't been that interested in the EU legislation around this until now; I'm curious what happens when something comes out that is better than USB-C? Are companies stuck until new legislation is passed or is there some sort of auto update to the standard written in?

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this whole thing works, it'd depend on the instance and community, wouldn't it? If I set up my own instance, I can setup my own rules for the communities that might start there. Those community leaders may opt to set rules stricter than the instance rules.

If you go crazy enough, you get defederated like North Korea...

Which includes the Steam client. It's a CEF-based application.
