Nice tips, I will try to use these. End of the month is when they are trying to fill their quotas. You can similarly get decent deals on new cars when the model year is finishing and the new model year is coming into stock so they want to g

It is more a problem with the meat industry. Growing feed for animals and then eating their flesh instead of just growing food.

I agree with this. Amazing that we need AS to give people a dose of wisdom. I have to agree with everything he said. I am not convinced about CO2 causing global warming but I am 100% ok with our society pushing away from coal, gasoline and

I don't want to be totally negative on Zuckerburg. Maybe he will do good with the money. However: An estate would not be taxed on the value of the LLC, the same way one he is not taxed on the value of his stock. It is taxed when sold.

I was not aware you can control BIOS settings, BIOS upgrades and configuring IPMI remotely like that. EDIT - looks like it is straightforward if you control the IPMI locally. So the software would send commands to do it locally.

Check out some asian grocery stores. They have bananas not from the Dole. I tried the Dole red banana but really didn't like it. The Asian grocery stores should have a few other varieties. But you are right that the common variety seem

Christians and Yezidis are being targeted and it is being acknowledged as genocide. So I say give priority to victims of genocide. Other refugees are not in such dire circumstances.
