Mog is right and so are the UK guys. Amazon in Sweden is not like it is in the UK and USA. It doesn’t use the same structure, whereby the company outsources much of the stuff it keeps in-house elsewhere and the Marketplace is basically a dodgy add-on to the German business. My understanding is that ...

I just hope all the actors are the same colour as the characters in the book. I understand that this is really important in the fantasy genre.

I’m saying your statement is bullshit. You can’t prove the claim… 100% impossible. It literally can’t be done. I reckon it could be proven but I don’t think many here would comprehend it. Supply chain stuff is complex and here we deal in hashtags and memes. I foolishly followed a notification back ...

Until a couple of months ago, a consortium had a proposal up and running to provide energy generated through renewables in Western Australia's Pilbara region to Singapore via sub sea HV cables. Once the attraction of H2 started to become feasible they swung their attention to that... only to have t...

Bullshit I can’t be arsed trying to explain things to people that couldn’t be bothered thinking about an issue let alone learning. Australia ran out of toilet paper twice without a truck being delayed and yet….. I give up and cede the ‘thinking threads’ to those that don’t think but just know. 👍

towny

It’s the definition of literally impossible. 100% could not possibly have been done.

Why would those counties not want to trade in USD? Is the extreme liquidity bad? Using the Yuan or the Baht or postage stamps is easy enough to do but it will be more expensive for them, so good luck with that. Rancid You didn’t understand it, did you? Using the Yuan is possible today. Go do it. Th...

Because they don’t pay enough now.

The chinese will be able to do what they want with their Crypto, inflate, deflate, send it to the moon, whatever they choose and what ever benefits them - this destabalises the who Crypto market.

China has (for years) been trying to usurp the greenback for reserve currency status. This is another part of that quest that’ll probably get there in the end, but has to be 30 years away at least. Is this today’s ‘Talking Point’ from HQ? 300 years minimum. I'd say any target of usupring the greenb...

This Branson vs Bezos edge of space race thing is so stupid, considering Guy Laliberte (founder of Circe De Soleil) bought a ticket to the International f**king Space Station over a decade ago. What?

Have you ever posted on a rugby thread? What do you even want to discuss here? Is there an article for context or do we do you hope to drag us down some bullshit rabbit hole that you’ve spent the last few days in?

So currently technology that doesn’t exist. Which one you mean? Hydrogen? You can argue the round trip energy efficiency is too low or that it’s too expensive. If you want to argue the technology doesn’t exist you would be wrong. Nuclear might be the best. Who knows? But over what time frame? 50 ye...

Love him, hate him, whatever…. Bezos is a giant and is extraordinarily capable. He’s got lots of faults, but this is a dude that from nothing and will likely end up being the key driver to space exploration in this century. Thats probably just another example of someone putting undue importance on ...

The ref is the sole arbiter of time also, would you think it’s okay if he blew full time 20 minutes early? WR put out regulations that the refs are instructed to make decisions against. The ref got it wrong. You’ve made a fool of yourself. We are all wrong once in a while, but it’s bizarre to see so...

Its a good reason not to get too dependent on any single technology. Going 100% for wind energy only is a stupid idea. Going for a c...

If I was you, I’d just be quietly thankful that they’re discussing the tackle, and not the shameful, cowardly act that followed it. ;) All things said, I was very happy to have France rugby come here. It was a great series. Very close. We love France and French rugby. Merci. This thread is a (mostl...

I think WR should change to laws to penalise the tackled player if the player dips into a tackle, creating a dangerous situation. The tackler should be judged on where the tackle would have hit if the tackled player had remained upright Similar to the cricket no-ball law: 21.10 Ball bouncing over h...

Okay, it’s quite possible that you have some underlying condition so I’m going to leave you all with it. Maybe best that those that wish to press on do so carefully.

Well of course you're going to say that. How would you coordinate the unloading and loading of a thousand trucks a day? Where would you do it? These supply chains don’t have much flexibility and it would take months to get such a massive change right, and you’d likely be short hundreds of trucks an...

The reason is also that doctors know how to treat the virus better than they did at the beginning.

The thing is, we will kill a hell of a lot more people than 2 a day if we lift lockdown. We have experienced 900 deaths so far in the pandemic.

You have absolutely no way of predicting that. Here in the U.K. we didn’t protect the elderly in care homes and we managed to have rampant covid in hospitals.. (40% of hospitalised infections). The studies so far on NPI demonstrate that they made almost no difference. I have a pretty good idea of w...

The thing with kiwi refs you have to understand, is that they’re just kiwis.
