"Haloperidol is relatively inexpensive, being up to 100 fold less expensive than newer antipsychotics"

The segment and vehicles themselves are small enough that this changeover can be made fairly easily, with immense benefits for noise pollution in cities.

When you dive into Steam, you'll see that it hasn't really changed in a decade. Valve are basically sitting back happy with the $billions pouring in each year owing to their 'first mover'/monopoly position.

This information needs to be embedded into the UI of the EV, and for that we need regulation and standardisation.

Requiring that all employee car parks have chargers is another solution.

1. Allow smart charging and discharging to the grid, to lower the overall peaks of energy demand (these peak periods are what drive power prices/shortags).

2. Direct user road charging, based on time of day, location, miles travelled, and vehicle class.

Its particularly dumb to add more energy demand to peak hours - ie. by allowing cars to just charge as soon as they've plugged in once the driver gets home (which is typically peak demand, right at the same time as solar generation fading).

Epic are more motivated by transferring the excess profits of Apple into modest profits for developers, who then redistribute 5% of their revenues (as part of the Unreal Engine license) back to Epic.

I wonder if Epic will sue Steam and console developers next...

Epic sells Unreal to Sony and Microsoft, so suing them is probably unlikely. But Valve could definitely be the next target.

Valve even prevents developers from linking to their own website, if said website includes ways to buy content independent of Steam payment.

And a huge sum again on healthcare, overwhelmingly used by the aged (50% of healthcare costs in the final 5 years of life).

America is a giant nursing home...

Will endless booster shots also be mandatory, given that antibody titers decline by about 40% monthly?

We would have to replicate the Azolla event or Carboniferous period to meaningfully reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

We need to abandon coal immediately and electrify all transport. Probably going to need a lot of nuclear and renewable energy along the way with a bit of gas to fill in the troughs.

The great side effect will be that cities will be dramatically more pleasant places to live and human health will improve, due to the improvement in air quality.

We should also get smart about flexible energy demand, ie. allowing cars and appliances to discharge or charge depending on grid conditions.

CO2 carbon might have a market for use inside buildings, but its hard to imagine how we will meaningfully dispose of the excess CO2 (just one human generates 1tonne of CO2 annually), and its certainly cheaper to just spend that money on carbon output reduction.
