Compare battery costs from 1990 to today. Don't you think that if we actually did some investment in nuclear, that we could bring the cost of that down significantly as well?

I'll take a little litter on the streets over mass surveillance and cameras everywhere identifying me everywhere I go. Because it never fucking stops at just litter. Pretty soon all that lovely data about who is where at what time gets

People use, and pay for , ad-ridden services all the time. I mean, just look at Cable TV and the direction all the streaming services are going.

You might not, but most people don't care anymore, and they will give their personal data. And then you will have no choice, as you will be the outlier who is just an old man yelling at clouds.

Of course it's going to break. Remember when they built an actual Teams client for Linux? Remember how much Microsoft <3 Linux? Yeah, you're fucked buddy.

I did the opposite. I had a POD set down in my driveway and we loaded it up at our leisure. We packed and secured everything ourselves, then had it moved to the new house and unloaded it at our leisure. Since we packed it ourselves, nothing

That means it she perfect time to throw it back in that legislators face before it goes any further. You can't just ignore these non-starter bills. They will just try tweak it every year until it passes.

You don't even need a penny, or have to remember where on the penny you're supposed to be looking... There are wear bars in the tread in every single tire. If the tire tread is flush with them, the tires are shot. Also there is a

You must have had one of the better ones. Most of them were literally not usable. Even YouTube was pretty choppy on most of these things. And the screen resolution so bad that web browsing was terrible on them. A lot of dialog boxes wouldn

What do you do when the ATMs run out of cash? It's not an unlimited supply in them. You should probably just keep some cash on hand. And keep an FM radio and a few batteries on hand.

Why will the US allow this? Because there's too much money to be made by middle men who want their cut of the transactions.

Your definition of "good" is weird, man. He's good at making money, that doesn't make him a good CEO. A good CEO should be able to make money and have some goddamn principles. It's like staying that Putin is a good

Yeah but look at it. It's a tall vehicle. Of course it's more likely to roll over. It's tall so that it can go over things. It has a purpose. Don't drive it like a sports car and dont haul your family in it on the daily.

But are cars we drive today better than they were 10 years ago? 20 years ago? Reliability is now trending down for cars, safety is questionable as deaths and injuries have been steadily increasing for a number of years now. Features are get

Which is how grounding systems work in houses as well. Where I live, it's required code to have a 6 foot grounding rod driven into the ground, connected to your breaker panel. That's why modern houses in North America have 3 prong

I mean, that's fun that your kids can play Minecraft and build in it. But does that teach them anything about technology? Half the fun of having a computer back in the day was digging through the filesystem, mucking with settings and b
