Back when airline status was based on number of segments this would have been a useful tool if you could find the lowest cost route on a single airline group. For example "find the most number of segments at the lowest cost per segment

The grid is quite country specific. For example in the Netherlands there are significant grid capacity issues, so much that people with solar panels are paid on some areas to turn them off. EV adoption here is high compared to the European

One trick they use is to book via a different country. Flight from A to B when booked on the main English website in dollars can be a higher price than the same leg being booked on the Russian website in rubles. Two reasons for that, one ca

Radio and podcasts only work with a small group of people who are good at creating that type of content. They either write a good script or have a clear plan (and talent) for unscripted content. That's far different from "Hey it&#

Having it open horizontally instead of vertically makes it easier to put things in when it's placed higher. Otherwise you have to lift things with further extended arms at height which is harder. There are ovens that solve this by lett

Only in recent times, with IS and similar organizations in the middle east. If you look at different historic periods you'd consider the Christians to be violent terrorists, even invading countries and starting lots of wars.

I think it's newsworthy because it's such a unique move, almost like it's from a spy novel. Not because 9 people died, that unfortunately happens semi regularly in this conflict.

There was an article some time ago about how this is handled for a normal sized car like a model S. Basically they put out the flames with traditional foam spraying, then dump the whole car in a large container with water. Let it sit under

You can't get EVs with a long range at much lower weight with current technology. Batteries are heavy. The solution if you want smaller/lighter cars is to consider something like a Prius or similar hybrid. Those weigh less and can

Same for me, daily driving is to and from the office, which is 35km each way. And activities for the kids, often that's 15-20km. I don't need a 400km range EV with all the weight and cost, I can do this with a 75km hybrid so I can

My 4 year old naturally does this anyway, and I can imagine many kids do. We don't have a set amount of allowed TV time for her, but she typically watches around 15-20 minutes of TV and then gets up and does something else. The only re

I'm on my 4th pair of airpods. Sound quality is good for such small in ears, convenience is amazing, but they don't last very long when used daily. They tend to break after about 1.5 year and the warranty is 1 year.

Yes, Airpods aren't very durable. I'm on my 4th pair of Airpod Pros. One pair I got replaced by Apple due to a known problem in the Pro 1st gen, the other two both failed right outside warranty. The noise cancellation is the weak
