Yes, why?
Hibernate?
I'm not sure what's up with mine, but it takes like a full 20-30 seconds to get past POST and then another 3 seconds from there to fully boot windows.
It doesn't take 25 years to get a nuclear plant off the ground because people are too busy sitting around counting their capitalism dollars to finish the construction. There are a tremendous number of things that need to happen in addition to planning, approving, building, and commissioning a nuclear facility. I'm fact, is those economic forces that make it happen as fast as possible, because investors want to see a return on their investment. Nuclear plants - and large power plants in general - are not a back deck. They are enormously complex, and given the sensitive nature of their fuel, there are additional things that need to happen on top of what you would expect from, say, a coal or oil generator.
But I'm not sure what you are saying about "magic batteries". How, exactly, do you plan to make intermittent renewable generation viable without some sort of grid-scale storage?
You don't just click your heels together there times and find yourself in a star trek utopia. That's not how things work.
Exactly. I'm 100% on board with both renewables and nuclear, but the time to build nuclear would seem to have passed. We're a few decades too late.
That's not too say we shouldn't be building any new nuclear plants - in particular modern designs like SMRs, but I think it would be wiser to focus our energy now on large, grid-scale storage to help smooth out intermittent generation from renewables.
He's writing a book about religion and atheism. I think it's very reasonable to define and describe the spectrum of belief from full-on blind faith, to questioning, to agnosticism, to full-on belief that there is no god.
From memory, the first chapter of The God Delusion is all about "undeserved respect".
I want to move to CloudFlare too, but I have a couple of .com.au domains that CloudFlare doesn't support.
And not every program needs an installer.
Just because I downloaded a program to write ISOs to a USB drive, does not mean it needs to be installed on the system. Unless it's something like MS Office, why does it need to be installed? Just give me a zip file, I will extract it and delete it when I don't need it anymore.
That's a bit cynical, isn't it?
I can still support a party or individual, but admit they have done something wrong. Likewise, I can oppose a party or individual, and find they have done no wrong in a particular instance.
It's exactly this blind following and absence of critical thinking or pragmatism that is causing the world to become so dangerously polarised.

No, they're right. The last thing anyone in crippling debt of any kind needs is more debt of any kind.
This is a bad solution.
A good solution would be for people not to go into crippling medical debt in the first place.
