I know Trump accused her of being a Chinese agent, but i'm not sure even the former President Accused Senator McConnell of being a democrat

Re: Let's remember Trumpf lost the popular vote *twice*

>The electoral college prevents the very densely populated (mostly coastal) cities from dominating the process, and rightly so. The US presidential election is not a popular vote.

That's why the only sensible solution is one state-one vote

Why should California and New York dominate when N. Dakota has as much right?

In fact we could stop people in big cities, like Washington, voting at all !

Re: Does it even matter anymore?

>Now if I wanted to do as much damage to the US as possible I'd leave them to it, adopting a strictly hands-off policy.

Or at least I wouldn't care who won and wouldn't try and change who won - but I would put a lot of effort into making it so that a large bit of the population don't believe it

Re: Not great news for youngsters

>For example, restaurants and other businesses in France can't get staff either,

That's why Brexit is doubly sad. The French are being denied the experience of British chefs

Re: $54K median ... LOL

The average salary in the UK in 2022 is £29,600 per year, so that's $29,600

Re: Not great news for youngsters

>engineers with a laundry list of skills are being offered £20k-£30k

Wasn't that the point of Global Britain? To undercut China with cheaper workers?

Re: Not great news for youngsters

>I hope we aren't letting the Angles totally off the hook.

Obtuse bunch

Re: Not great news for youngsters

>The real problem is that the mismanagement of the Bliar years has created a generation of entitled snowflakes

I think we have accept it's the fault of those lazy Saxons.

The new Norman regime needs to be given some time for its innovative entrepreneurial policies to work.

Re: Not great news for youngsters

If only there was some freedom in the system where the chef could be rewarded in some way to incentivise them to get out of bed and come to work?

Perhaps the movements of small green pieces of paper could be involved?

If we could only get the Chinese to spend all their R&D money and science/engineering talent on increasingly complex and expensive weapons systems we could bring down their whole system.

It worked for the USA.

Except for Ukrainians

Re: Memory problems

Yes this funding is for their new cutting edge 2mm fab

>I'm not sure where you get the 1L petrol is equivalent to 13kWh,

By forgetting to multiply the theoretical energy density of petrol 12.8KWh/kg by the density 0.75kg/l

Then assuming that your car's engine achieves 100% thermodynamic efficiency

Re: Not union, it's the law

>.... aaaand.... that applies to your average commuter

Any pickup truck driver in Houston ?

Or in LA stopping for 3hours every 10mins

My EV says it averaged 6.8KM/KWh, so at 100km/h (60mph) that's 14.7 KW

So with a 400V DC fast charger I need a constant 36A from a Scaletrix slot down the middle of the road - that's probably unreasonable

Back to my previous solution of a metal grid 8ft above all roads and every one drives bumper cars

Battery on most EV's are already liquid cooled/heated.

You can't use Li batteries below about 4deg otherwise

Of course not saying that would cope with dumping 100kw into it !

Re: "Your Tax Dollars at Work"

Still it's nice to see the Americans abandoning the failed capitalism experiment and embracing state owned industry.

Any news on when you all get the shiny biceps ?

Re: On the menu

That's a little unfair. The company are contributing a full colour rendering at their own expense

Re: Measuring a property does not set it...

>I don't think you quite understand what the term "spin" means when applied to sub-atomic particles.

Similarly the thaum is made up of so called resons, which are themselves made up of at least five flavours (including up, down, sideways, sex appeal and peppermint

Firing admin / services staff that can be replaced by cheaper contract labour - which is why the union cares.

While hiring engineers to make the company more money

And the bread and wine, don't forget the wine - that's one thing we'd really miss if the catholics left

If you want to know what your iPhone would be like if it used vacuum tubes (ie valves) see the great what if...2

Re: cleanrooms first ... fabrication equipment to be swiftly installed

Semiconductor engineers would just fill the room with acid to etch the concrete then fill with more concrete

If you want cheaper/smaller/faster computers, yes

Re: "I don't think people realize how much investment chip fabrication requires"

Which is why non of these plants will be built here.

On the one hand we have a multi Bn euro investment in a strategic product vital to all modern life, on the other we have the committee to save the lesser spotted stickleback.

(The CTSTLSS is not affiliated with the committee to stop any more building or traffic anywhere near our nice £1M homes)

Re: Shock

But now we control our own beaches, which is where the silicon comes from.

And the new science minister/pub landlord informs us that chips are important and the British seaside are experts in chips
