Oh they want to... There are quite a few chip fabs around the world... there are very few that can manufacture at this size, along the bleeding edge of the numerous technologies necessary to do so.

Having the knowledge required to build the fab, the actual hardware required to manufacture them, and the skilled personnel to operate it all are hard to do. This is not something that you can toss together in a cave from scraps like Iron Man.

And a lot of that is by design with companies and governments trying to guarantee sovereignty by tightly controlling where these can be manufactured. The idea that enemies are less likely to try to take over/colonize a smaller country (like Taiwan) if the global chip manufacturing apparatus can be destroyed in minutes to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

Yeah, 0.02% of 65 Million is 1.3 Million possible errors.

And that's just based on the raw population, that accuracy rating could be based on raw number of scans instead. A quick search shows Sainsbury's serves 16 million customers a week. That's 320,000 errors every week if the error rate is just raw scans as opposed to unique scans.

And it's those areas that the deniers point to as proof "global warming" is not real.

Climate change covers all the changes.

Freaking Hydrogen cars. Dead end tech with a fuel that's extremely difficult to keep in place. For whatever reason the big asian car manufacturers like Honda and Toyota seem to refuse to admit will never take off, after more than 2 decades trying.

I'm fascinated by their insistence on a technology that is clearly doomed. The embodiment of the sunk cost fallacy. They insist on trying to continue to make Hydrogen a thing, with no plan for infrastructure which is even more complicated than DC fast chargers, while not even attempting to expand EV offerings that people want in the meantime.

That was included in the show, as so many other things are to get people talking about it, but a punch isn't a particularly out of the ordinary bad day according to all of the nurses I know. Even those that work in private practices have had to deal with violence fairly regularly from patients and/or family members.

Especially facts. Surprised this stayed up as long as it did.

Welcome to 1950 again... except broadcast channels are a small portion of modern content. You're not getting anything offered through the cable/satellite channels, or any of the streaming services which increasingly have nothing to do with broadcast companies.

It's not even really an eventually, it's about a direct as you get. It is exhausted into the sky, gets caught in the water cycle and rains back down to earth.

Schools should be completely free of students during breaks.

Both the elementary and middle schools near me allow individual usage of the external school grounds for things like sports and exercise during the day while the school is on break. For many children, schools are the only places nearby that have space for that, there are no parks or public fields.

For a lot of (if not most) people, knowing about the heinous shit happening and doing nothing about it (at minimum trying to go public) is an issue nearly as bad as actually participating.
