   How do they get wildlife to use these? Do they just line the road with fences to funnel animals into the purpose-built crossings? What length of road can one of these crossings support? Are there any measures for how effective these cros

   I will not consider buying an electric vehicle until I can dependably and conveniently access recharging stations comparable to superchargers. Even that is a big sacrifice at 30+ minutes for a full charge - as opposed to 5-10 minutes to to

   Do we actually have a "housing" shortage, though? I know that supply of stereotypical single-family, detatched homes is massively outstripped by demand in many parts of the US and that's a problem. But is there actually a s

   My eyes roll through the back of my skull any time I see a company talk about being "carbon neutral". At what point do we call it what it is: false advertising? They haven't done hardly anything to reduce carbon emissions.

    That is a good model, but I'm a little confused about the transition. My license from 2015 obviously doesn't include ST4, but does it still include all versions of ST3 since it was purchased before this change? Or was it retroac

    Companies would just add the cost of the punishment into the cost of the ransom, re-evaluate the risk, and probably decide to just keep doing what they're doing. The problem is not that companies are paying ransoms. The problem is tha

    To be fair, you can buy the vest outright for $400. But I still think it's extremely dangerous for safety devices to use subscription models like this. Not to mention the sketchiness of giving something as mundane as an airbag the

    I never understood the idea behind a wedding ring being an "investment". It's not like you plan on ever selling it. It's purely an expense. If you wont sell it, then a ring's value is only in its aesthetic and an
