Surely, if printing money (theoretically) causes inflation; and if collecting taxes reduces inflation, then the two are somewhat closely related.

If the amount of money that can be created by the government is somewhat limited, then surely tax money is another valid source for that money.

Wouldn’t that be 60 Hz without a rectifier, and 120 Hz with one? If the voltage crosses zero twice per cycle, but goes negative only once.

Do we get to make the argument that if they’re not worn on their backs, then they’re not backpacks? Chest-packs maybe?

Makes sense.

In that case better for efficiency than interior blinds, but still blocking your view out.

Would be handy for an especially hot day or week, but I wouldn’t like to have to keep my windows covered all summer.

Interior blinds are mentioned in the video: basically since they’re behind the glass the energy is still getting in and green-housing a bit. Blinds heating up is heat inside the room. Also block the view out, which awnings don’t.

That was one of the things that excited me most from the iFixit video; the (LGA?) pins are a separate part that can be replaced as well. Simplifies the motherboard because then there are just flat pads on there, which means they don’t need to include the whole array of fancy pins for a second module if it doesn’t ship with one.
