They're not writing in binary. They're defining a base 10 number that is 0.11, followed by a single 0, then 1, then two 0s, then 1, then three 0s, then 1, and so on. The definition ensures that it never repeats, but because it only contains 1 and 0, it would never contain any sequence with the numbers 2 through 9.

Balatro doesn't have anything like gambling. There's no betting. You don't even have an opponent. The chips are only points, and the goal is to get as high a score as you can. The rules vary wildly from poker in ways that could never work with multiple players, let alone with real cards. It just looks like poker at the start and that description helps give you an initial idea of how to play.

Sceptre is the name I see whenever there's a discussion about who still makes dumb TVs.

Yes, but that information is out of date. Milton has weakened from that level.

Air quality can certainly be impacted by density, but neighbourhoods that aren't car dependent promote exercise by giving people the ability to lak or bike wehn going out instead of driving (which can also help the overall air quality).

Maybe the cyclists don't like the stop signs that the path frustratingly has but the road does not? Around that stop there are two within a few hundred metres, and frequently stopping (or slowing down fot a rolling stop) makes riding slower and more tiring. That's probably not nearly the entire motivation, though.

It seems to also factor in leaks of NG, which is much more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

The vast majority of those subsidies (rebates, sales tax exemption, government procurement of EVs) you linked don't seem like they would apply to exported vehicles. This suggests exports would indeed be very price competitive, wouldn't it?

Would you say you became disenchanted with it?

This sounds like you're describing "The Handmaid's Tale", which is not what this thread is about.

My father had it. With his medication, he lasted (with good quality of life) until something else got him. What I'd like to point out though, is what "20 years" means in țhis context. That means it came from a study, right? Some people in that study lived less than that, some more. How old is that study then? Or more specifically, how old are the diagnoses and treatments of the people in that study?

Even if that's very recent study, that means that at least some of the group started their treatment in the 90s or earlier. You'll have more modern treatments based on what's been learned since then, before even considering what will be learned during the long course of time you'll have this. There's more hope than you're allowing yourself here.
