It’s big enough that not all of it will burn up. And you don’t want the debris to hit someone.

Mint works. Most alternatives don’t. I can install Mint on a total newbie’s system, and not have to worry about something breaking two weeks later. Hell, most newbies can install Mint if you give them the USB.
On a deeper level, I think Mint devs are one of the few teams that understand the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ philosophy.
What about equally high tariffs for petrol / diesel from anywhere, equally low tariffs for EVs, and subsidies for cycles and public transport?
Sorry, I meant Canadian warships.
The emissions saved from removing a few hundred ACs are negligible. But the message it sends to the millions watching the Olympics is significant. Which, again, is why I am hoping there will be at least some symbolic action against rule-breakers - it will start a conversation about the need to regulate / ban ACs.
First of all, [citation needed]. Second, even if it is, a good message is being sent.
If that is true, the complaint should be against synagogues being exempt, not against churches being asked to pay up.
Wikipedia (Jan 2001, so barely squeaked in)
now they start targeting Christians
By asking religious bodies to pay tax? Why do religious organisations get tax exemptions anyway?
I think they’re trolling. In reality, it could mean they have a justification to attack / sieze any Canadian ships that stray into the Persian Gulf. But that would be a pretty huge provocation, so it’s unlikely.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Everyone is being asked to accept an equal handicap, so that the world does not become even hotter in the coming years. It’s largely symbolic, I agree, but I suppose kicking out a team that prioritises its medal tally over the climate crisis would send an even stronger signal.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Most teams seem to be respecting this decision.
I think they’re only including mainstream models.
Sure, and I would prevail in a fistfight against Saitama.
It’s to fight the honkai when they start appearing in our universe. (Jokes aside, a company that needs to run a lot of servers would be interested in cheap energy.)
The organisers should just cut their power supply. Or disqualify the team for trying to gain an unfair advantage.
Nuclear proliferation is always bad news.
It’s a gamble. Knowing other countries can kill you personally would dissuade leaders from starting wars. Assuming no one makes a mistake, of course.
Oh definitely. I was just hoping they’d spend those billions on busses, metros and, yes, HSR, instead of on EVs. Still, they’re ahead of most countries as it is.
The usual suspects. Angry old men sending naive young (wo)men to die.
