This one is for saneagle. Rachel Maddow (I know saneagle isnot a fan of her) has just released a yt video, the story is how Trump had actually got the idea of campaigning on tariffs. If you believe the story, trump asked jared kushner his son in law to find him an economics advisor for his 2016...

Why doesn't that surprise anyone? Trump has always taken advantage of his friends and allies first.

The situations and the objectives are different. Nixon did the only thing that was possible, stop gold withdrawals. The usa gold could run completely out in months. I was at uni then and my girlfriend was doing 'science eco', we talked a lot of Bretton Woods, fixed exchange rates and Nixon...

You should look into what happened to McKinley's 1890 tariffs. In just 3 years at a time where the industrial revolution guaranteed a booming economy regardless of policy, the tariff experiment failed, government income was less than without tariffs. The result of that failed policy is the rise...

Tariffs have been here since forever. McKinley put up tariffs to an average of 50% in 1890. McKinley was trump's hero. Later that year, tariffs stoke up inflation and the Dems won the congressional election. Then came the recession in 1893. Tariffs were cut in 1894. I expect history will repeat...

Battery fire is a short term problem. It is diminishing all the time. Fossil fuel tank on the other hand is a well known risk. You only need a matchstick.

Did you lookup details of the case before posting that yt video?

What is the hosta? Do you mean the steel bracket that supports the bag? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Riding-Adapter-BROMPton-Reliable-Mounting/dp/B0DSGHXSF6/ref=sr_1_4

It's a complicated case. Did you look into it before posting? Lagarde's role in it as Sarkozy's finance minister is she sent the case to arbitration. There wasn't much alternatives. The case dragged on for 11 years without solution until then. With hindsight, she should have left it drag on...

PS: the devices themselves are not impossible, just that they don't work on earth, no matter what. You have to go into space to avoid the issue of conservation of energy.

That's an interesting question. I was going to answer with scientific reasoning (symetry SU3 > conservation of energy > second law of thermodynamics) but figured that AI would do a far better job at explaining, so I asked ChatGPT and here is your answer: Reasoned about free energy and patents...

You can't assume because a company has a D&B number, it's for profit. D&B pre-register these companies before they ask, if they ask at all. You don't need to ask them. It's a pretty useless registration anyway, like many free trade directories.

I wonder how many countries would ring Trump up and offer him concessions. What that would do to all the car dealerships in the USA? They may have to sell more used cars from now on. More worrying is Putin now calling up 165,000 to serve in the army. Since the war started in Ukraine, he has...

A lot of MEPs freeload on the gravy train that is the EU. However, the EU Commission cannot punish nor stop them directly. It's up to the states' governments to take them to court. That's how it is with the RN's MEPs. In the UK, conservatives did not want to take farage to court.

I will and thanks again for the kind advice.

Thank you for telling me that. The kit is currently in stock.

A customer sent Andy his YT review of the Q70 conversion kit for his handsome Brompton. His rock solid bracket option for using the 10Ah bag battery on the Brompton... Brompton goes 'Woosh!' Thank you Lucas!

AI evolves so quickly that it is hard to keep abreast with its progress. In the earlier generations up to about 6 months ago, models use the temperature setting as random seed number for their transformer. Now with reasoning, the same temperature setting may not reproduce the earlier reply. What...

They are usually fined for infringing GPDR, CT sweet deals and restrictive practices on their software market place. What do large social media companies do with personal data they collect from your phones? And AI hallucinations? Small prints at the bottom of the web pages are not enough.

The world does not need Putin, Trump and Netanyahu. Until they are all gone, all you can do is to prepare for troubles.
