Maybe it will work in a cycle to respawn Vice. Become more popular with short form content, re-specialize getting better with that, slowly move in long form content, and partially return to where we were. Some of the content creators I watc

You can place rice on a baking tray spread out very thin for a day or so. Also dry it in the sun for added effect. If you have extra, then deep fry it. Great cheap crunchy addition to some meals. It’s a key ingredient in Thai rice salad, or

Make sure no foreign transaction fees for any cards. I haven’t had much luck with discover and international travel. I got one for 5% rotating rewards, no ^ fees, and rarely use it but kept it in case I need a credit score.

The free tolls would be trouble work in the US since some are sold to foreign companies for multi-decade long leases with up to 99years for many. Norway is at 82% new vehicle EV adoption and aiming for 100%. I think more will try the plugin

Bank of America has/had a setup to integrate all your accounts in one. IIRC, it had some caveats like it could only be viewed or edited on desktop. Now it’s called “my financial picture” accessible on mobile. All of my account links ar

There’s a few good “particle zoo” videos out there for the building blocks. I took some advanced courses and from my understanding it comes down to the pieces that make up protons and electrons. In the quantum realm it adds some fuzziness t

Doesn’t hurt to shop around. From my research the replacement costs varied from $20k to $40k for electric vehicle batteries repair quotes. For city driving you charge to 80% so the batteries last quite a while. Charging network still is bad

Can always use dummy cameras with a led. First it started with the ADT signs and now people are putting up cameras. If your place has neither then you’re a greater target. Generally they are in and out in a few minutes long before police or

I’m talking about the monthly numbers mentioning December. Many have been revised +0.1% or -0.1% when they start at .1 to .5% excluding expected numbers. Yearly is something entirely different but it was expected to be +2.9% yet we saw 3.1

Somewhat. It becomes a cat and mouse game of who knows what and will expose that if this is exposed. Once exposed the weight of the threat is lost. Similar to bringing the Gatling gun to the battlefield or MAD. There are a lot of mitigation
