We’ve contributed to that. We got a PHEV (not a pure electric) that we probably put gas in once a month whereas before it was probably every 2 weeks to 10 days in a normal car.

EVs are awesome.

That’s gotta be depressing for sure sometimes. Hope we’ll get a clue and start acting on what people like you recommend.

38 is still really a decent spot for that. Men and women both have unrealistic expectations set when it comes to body image thanks to fashion and entertainment industries. Get yourself a good routine and you can still look great. None of us are going to have a Chris Evans’ Captain America body without steroids and personal training.

I didn’t mean to imply financial success was the only success.

TBF that’s a cheat. They didn’t have to be the ones investigating, researching, and developing everything to make it all work for the first time.

The science today is very well established. While it doesn’t lessen the difficulty, nobody is reinventing the wheel at full price. They’re standing on the shoulders of very well established giants.

I’ve lived in left leaning areas for decades. Solar is everywhere, from rooftops to open fields. We don’t have a ton of wind, but there’s a lot of offshore farms and quite a few in the hills. Nobody is “taking” land, it’s sold by the landowner.

If right wing areas are blocking renewables it’s far more likely to be done so it props up the fossil fuel/power generation companies and has little or nothing to do with any actual drawbacks of renewables or their installation.

Yes. No.

Climate change at work.

Like when your kid fakes being sick to stay home from school then 20 minutes after the school bus goes by they’re running around playing. Can’t keep up the lie for 20 minutes. Imagine having to manage a lie for years.

Their society is the shareholders.

It keeps trying. I keep denying it.

I would far rather pay a fee for an OS, like I did for every computer I built up to Win 7, and not have to deal with M$oft’s BS and ad-pushing.

I should have been more clear: spinny removable storage like CDs.

Yeah, all my computers have spin HDD for storage and SSD for OS and most-used programs.

Back to spinny drives we go?

Determined, aren’t you.

lol, dude…at least make an effort to act like you read the article.

The bounty offer comes from the US State Department, following this week’s disruption of the criminal organisation’s activities.

Second sentence in the text.

One that tells me if I’m working with something using AI so I can avoid it if needed.

Because Reddit is run by morons.

Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?

PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.

People who have never used dry cell batteries haven’t a clue.

Don’t inject logic into the mental gymnasts all wanting to call it a burner anyway. It’s a lost battle. You’re absolutely right, though.

Yep. And Tom, Bob, Rob, Bill, John and Steve.
