If its a optical image satellite, it probably doesnt take much to burn on the camera if it's shutter is open.

Not quite, the true invariant quantity is the magnitude of the spacetime 4 vector, which depends on rest mass.

Id like to see this normalized for country size. As is, its really just a country size list, with some slight variations.

A lot of strong towns framing uses "financial productivity" defined as tax revenue per unit area, usually acre. Poor neighborhood's houses may be cheap, but are packed much more densely, leading to higher revenue per unit area. less in taxes per lot, but also lower maintenance costs per lot.

I'm not disagreeing with that, but high speed rail from Boston to Miami would be extremely practical. Efficient, fast, convient travel along that corridor reducing dependence on cars for city to city travel. And the area has both the demand and density to support such projects.

And while its impractical now, if it was built to cheapen regional travel in the region it could grow to high use spurning economic development.

I'd love to take a train at a reasonable pace from near to DC to my family in Pittsburgh, or to visit New York.

I might even enjoy a cross country trek to the rockies for skiing on a train, but it's never going to be an option.

Calling light electric seems redundant. Its like saying electric electromangantic radiation.

Bedrooms do have to have windows or a door to the outside to be legally a bedroom.

But you still have it backwards.

We could very easily design and build a car that lasts 30 years. But we don't, because manufacturers don't want them to last that long.

Evs don't have transmissions, or complicated engines, and the wear on brakes is much less with regenerative braking.

Other things like air conditioning and interior coverings could be easily servicable

Why should the life of an ev by limited by its battery?

Do really need need 4?

If you cant get by on 2, you might have less power, but you can get better efficiency. With better efficiency you can have a smaller battery for the same range and reduce some of your increased cost that way.

I made a switch to linux recently and some of my paid software works there too.

Most steam games, Matlab. Wine and proton make it possible to run many Windows applications

I wish they had done another test with a decent lock.

Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn't gamble.
