In this case, the high customer satisfaction resulted in additional high net worth customers, which made them more susceptible to a bank run!

Maine, Georgia, Michigan (anywhere but greater Detroit) Hint: all of these places are solidly purple (but voted blue in 2020 so I counted them). It's like having actual political competition is a good thing!

On the bright side in this situation, he's going to monetize the crap out of this. He'll end up ahead in the end unlike the vast majority of people that find themselves as a target of the police.

That's generally an option, but it's not exactly cheap!

Neither is "natural" And a whole lot of fruit is genotypically modified as well through various means!!

To be fair, that specific warning is (probably) due to a different carcinogenic food additive: heat

Humans have modified most fruits to be nearly unrecognizable compared to their original forms!

And to pile on, many of those thousands of compounds are already known to be toxic and/or carcinogenic at high levels.

Statistically, you're right - the variable rate is usually better. But that's also assuming that interest rates are completely random (which they're not) - a bit of market timing is wise to do here. And the spread compresses

The earth is on a trajectory for <2.5C just based on current technology and policies. The technology and policy path we're on (including developed but not yet implemented tech and policy) is likely to limit warming to <2C, but 1.

You're hard pressed to find a democrat who is actually earnestly pushing for immigration reform either. I'd claim the republicans largely swapped and the democrats are only for it just enough to foil the republicans!

What's the better response here? (Other than not over-hiring in the first place).

Mostly brake maintenance! But that's rounding error. Most of the savings is fuel.

That's in CA though - and at retail pricing. I suspect most customers will have captive chargers and will be running at industrial rates (so even less than $0.1/kwh).

I suspect that they don't need the 500 mile range for all their activities. Local deliveries probably don't need it, but mid-range routes may!

Rough math on this: $5/gallon diesel with 5mpg = $1/mile fuel cost. 1.7kwh/mile * $0.1/kwh = $0.17/mile. $0.83/mile savings * 400 miles/day * 250 days a year = $83,000/year in fuel savings. I suspect

But taxing means there's an opportunity for revenue to build more green infrastructure. Yes, that tax needs revisited in the future to make sure it's still accomplishing it's goal, but Europe is currently in the midst of an

Or they don't have a car and the city bus isn't going to allow you to bring a mattress on it! Your options then are pay someone $100 to get rid of it (which you likely don't have if you don't have a car) or dump it somew

The big problem is that point of use treatment invariably misses people. People who don't realize their system broke, those who can't afford $200 for a new one or the extra $5/month in operating costs. The extra public health

It's apocalyptic when there's basically no immunity in a population (no prior infection and sub-par vaccination) and you have a variant that's 10x more transmissible than the original. Think of what happens when it rips thro

I suspect it's lazy reporting on the BBC's part. Mask-wearing has been the trigger point for so long in the west that's it's the default explanation. Whereas in China, the trigger point is still assembly (which is where

That's not entirely true. There are load calculations that get done to figure out if a new circuit can be added. If you're going to trip the main breaker while charging and cooking dinner at the same time, you'll probably nee
